Can anyone help with a quick OS problem?
I've never seen this in my dozens of time trying to install a Windows OS, especially Win 7..

I made a bootable thumb drive from a an ISO that a reputable Key seller on ebay provided (one Phil recommednded) as I can't find my disk and I go to install and I get to s screen that says select a driver, typically where you select x86 or x64 and it says no device driver found? I tried mounting the iso a few more times and reformating the thumb, nothing..

Phil was kind enough to send me a Win 7 CD, I buy an external CD drive and I get the same error..
I even plug in another SSD that doesn't have an OS (other SSD had Server 2012 on it), and that doesn't work..
Can anyone help me as I have never seen this issue before..

Funny thing was.. when I was on Server 2012, that system booted up, I was only reformating it as I couldn't get the LAN drivers to work and needed internet..

had that issue with my MB when did a clean install (Gigabyte GA270P-D3) when trying to to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit.....the ISO does not support USB 3.0 so it wouldn't be able to read somehow the USB correctly.

Had to go to Gigabyte's website and download a driver to install on the USB stick that let it run the install correctly.

Good luck!

Damn you hit the nail on the head, the Mobo's I was having that issue with was the GA270P-D3's - it was the first 3 or 4 and now that I think about it it was the blue 3.0 port, and I remember each time replugging it into the black USB port which I'm guessing is 2.0!

I smarted up and now I just clone the finished drive. Went from 1 hour to get a rig up and running to 10 minutes. Made setting up my tiny militia much more tolerable, being I'm a solo op

Reading what the previous poster said this is def the issue. Hopefully your motherboard has some non usb 3.0 ports. Or you could use windows 10 instead. Your windows 7 key will likely work for win10. I installed win10 yesterday on my win 7 key for two machines.

I am using Win10 and had that issue - i just think it's the 3.0 ports.
