Windows 7 needs drivers for your hard disk to continue the install. Unfortunately your sig doesn't state wich hard disk you have but i suggest you visit the hd's manufacturers site and download the drivers from there.

Hard drives don't have drivers. Storage controller have drivers.
Windows 7 already has the standard AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Adaptec, LSI, etc storage drivers integrated.

How can a drive not be supported by Windows 7? I think every drive (HDD and CD/DVD drive) will work with any operating system. Can't find any reason why a HDD should not be supported by an operating system.

i have vista ultimate right now, i boot up from cd and then go install and the next screen comes up asking me for drivers.. thats it no custom or anything

I assume you are doing a clean reformat, so go to Install > Custom > select the partition you want to format > Drive Options > Delete > Next That should just install it. Try it and get back to us. |

Most storage drivers are integrated but in a rare occasion windows 7 refuses to recognize the hard disk, This happened when i tried to install 7 on my ancient Dell laptop. I worked around it by first installing Vista wich oddly didn't have that problem and then upgrade to 7 afterwards.

That's still an issue with the controller.

Ahhhh.... try reburning the .iso at lower rate. I've seen "corrupt driver" issues more than once with burned DVDs. This is even after the disk is verified.

You could try to get a new version just to see if it's Windows itself that's crappy.
EDIT: DuckieHo beat me to it.![]()

Agreed, My point was that the missing driver error was storage device related. Sorry to the op for my bad explenation, blame it on the language barrier

To the op, you might want to install Vista first and then upgrade to 7 afterwards if possible.
