Product: HP 250 G5 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

When I try to install Windows 7 on my notebook HP 250 G5 setup says it needs a driver for CD / DVD. I think it needs a driver for the M.2-SSD but i don't know WHICH driver exactly. As it is a hell of a job to integrate the driver via boot.wim (did it once, but with the wrong driver) I first need to know exactly the proper driver. Anyone here who successfully solved this Problem? As I do not know wether the notebook will work properly I don't want to spend any money.

Thanks in advance

Hi:

 

You have to boot your W7 installation flash drive from your notebook's USB 2 port or install W7 from your notebook's DVD drive if it has one.

 

W7 does not have the USB3 drivers needed for W7 to recognize a USB 3 port.

 

The specs indicate your notebook has one USB 2 port on the right side and one USB 2 port on the left.
