A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing.

[Eddie99]

Hi,

I have checked the previous answers but I still have this problem.

When installing Windows 7 from new I get the 'A required CD/CVD drive device driver is missing'

When I browse I do not see the USB disk.

I have tried 2 different working Windows 7 iso's on 2 different USB disks (One USB2.0 and one USB3.0)

Is there any fix for this please ?

Hi:

What model 470 G is it?  G1, G2, G3?

Hi,

It is a 470G3 i5 model

OK I have resolved this myself.

I copied all the drivers for this model to a different laptop.

I extracted all the drivers to their unzipped state.

I copied all the drivers to the hard disk - If you can not do this then you can use a linux USB startup (Run Linux from the USB) and then copy to the hard disk.

When installing Windows I browsed to the Hard Disk and eventually found the driver that it was looking for (USB 3.0 Hub)

Hope it helps other users.

Thanks & Regards

Eddie

However now I have installed a new Win 7, I have no means of input !

So no USB or Network are working.

I am off now to burn the drivers to a CD/DVD somewhere and use that to put the drivers on to the Hard Disk.
