Reinstalling Windows 7 did not find the required driver. What to do if you get a "Required media driver not found" error when installing Windows
Hello everyone, it’s been 2 days since Windows 10 came out... But nothing goes smoothly for Microsoft... At first, I forced them to come...
And while I was downloading all the updates, the netbook ran out of memory, so I couldn’t put it there. But I never give up! Downloaded oem image, started installing... And during the installation I encountered the error ““, then my patience ran out, I’ve seen this error several times already, I decided to deal with it once and for all!
6 Ways to Solve “Device Drivers Not Found” Error
1. Method:
Always insert the flash drive into USB 2.0. External difference usb 2.0 from usb 3.0, this is the color. USB 2.0 is black and USB 3.0 is blue. Insert into usb 2.0 and try installing again.
2. Method:
There is also a glitch. If you inserted into 2.0, just insert into another usb 2.0 (if you have several of them)
3. Method:
Try it, this method helped me a lot, I even recorded it on usb 3.0 (but inserted it into 2.0), I assume that the flash drive I recorded it on was more modern.
4. Method:
Try and boot from DVD-Rom
5. Method:
This is the final method, installation from Windows.
First we download official drivers to the chipset of your motherboard or your laptop from the official website. Next, we write to the flash drive and when an error appears, click review.
Select the flash drive on which you recorded the downloaded drivers. And look for the following path: \drivers\WIN7(for me it looks like this Chipset_Intel_9.4.4.1006_W81x64\drivers\WIN7)
After searching (it can take 10 minutes)
A list of drivers will appear:
Let's try each one in turn. They should come. I get it every once in a while. So it might not work. But I’ll say one thing for sure, I succeeded this way.
Hello! And again, I didn’t write anything on the blog for two days, I was busy. I bought myself a laptop, set up everything, transferred information from my old computer. Perhaps later I’ll do a review of the laptop, but today I’ll write about one problem that arose with me Windows installation 7. An error that begins with the words “Not found” required driver carrier. This could be a driver for a DVD drive, USB drive, or hard drive". I think there is no need to continue further.
This was not a clean image of Windows 7, it was a build in which only the bootloader was changed. According to the author, the image operating system hasn't changed. Well, if we talk about the error itself, everything is clear there, there are no drivers for the drive, USB, or HDD, accordingly, further installation of the operating system is not possible. This was the first time I encountered such an error and, like everyone else, I decided to download the drivers from the laptop disk.
At first I thought it was because I had an SDD drive, but I launched other programs on this drive, and they all found my drive. In short, it was also not possible to find drivers from the disk that came with the laptop. Even if the installer found them, they didn’t suit him. I started going through the options that could be causing this error. Moreover, Windows 7 was installed from another disk, but I needed to install this particular assembly. And then I thought that the problem might be the slightly scratched disk on which I recorded Windows 7.
I didn’t have a new, clean disk, but a friend was supposed to come to me, whom I asked to buy a disk on the way. He brought the disk, I recorded the image and launched it reinstallation and everything went smoothly, no errors, just like that.
That means all the problem was bad DVD-RW disc , but when writing an image to which no warnings appeared, and when reading files, there were no errors other than “The required media driver was not found.”
This means that if you get the error “The required media driver was not found” during the installation of Windows 7, or more specifically, after selecting a language, then you need to check the disk from which you are trying to install the OS, and if possible, burn a new one DVD-R disc. I advise you to take DVD-R, not RW. And record at low speed, but the second time I recorded the image standard means Windows 7. You can read more about creating bootable disks in the article.
If re-recording the operating system image did not help solve the problem, then I have a few more tips:
- If you install Windows 7 from a flash drive, then connect it to USB 2.0, because a clean image of Windows 7 does not have drivers for USB 3.0. Or try to provide a driver for USB 3.0.
- Try inserting a disk with drivers for your system into the drive and clicking on the “Browse” button, specify the path to the disk; perhaps Windows 7 really cannot find the driver it needs to install. The disk with the operating system image at the time of installing the drivers can be removed from the drive.
Well, that's all, I hope you managed to solve this error. Best wishes.
Often users personal computers and laptops, when installing an operating system Windows systems, in particular Windows 7, are faced with an issue where the installation of the system turns out to be an error, resulting in the message The required driver for the floppy drive was not found optical disks . To be more precise, the message reads as follows:
The required driver for the optical drive was not found.
If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive with this driver, insert this media
What to do if The system asks for a driver during installation?
There are many solutions to the problem and they are all correct. Let's say that each user can solve it in his own way, so perhaps among the methods listed below you can find something for yourself.
USB PORT CONNECTORS
One of the standard situations that is increasingly gaining popularity is new type USB USB connectors 3.0. As a rule, this type of computer has a characteristic blue color. That is, the connector itself is blue. If your computer has other ports (not blue), you can try inserting a USB drive into that port.
BIOS
The BIOS contains a number of settings, changing which can help solve the problem. IN Some models have the option to disable USB 3.0. Also, in the parameters work hard disk (SATA) should be set to ACHI. And if there is an XCHI parameter, the latter should be disabled. USB device emulation - AUTO, instead of Mass Storage. Another option is to update the BIOS itself.
MOTHERBOARD DRIVERS
Sometimes the availability of drivers is simply necessary, or alternatively, use this method. However, in order for the installation to continue, you need to find these same drivers, copy them to your hard drive and offer them to the system when prompted. If you still have a driver disk motherboard computer or laptop, use it, or if you don’t have one, drivers can always be found on the Internet. Also, you may need another computer into which you need to insert the problematic hard drive and copy the drivers to it.
PROGRAMS FOR BURNING DISC IMAGES
One of the most common programs that can be used to burn an ISO image to a CD/DVD disc is UltraISO. The program can also burn USB drives. Users know this and very often use it to record to a USB drive. However, in some cases, even after successful creation disk UltraISO program, when further installing Windows, problems arise - The system requires a driver for the optical drive. One of the following programs can solve the problem:Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool or WinToFlash. The latter copes with its task very well and it is WinToFlash that can fix the problem and write the image to a flash drive without any errors. In most cases this solution helps. Just take a USB drive, format it and write your Windows image using WinToFlash. Next, we calmly install the system on the hard drive.
ISO IMAGE FAILED
In exceptional cases, the problem lies in a faulty system image. The ISO image may be corrupted or contain some errors. In this case, you will have to find another image and try to record it.
