| 843830 | 2009-12-28 05:25:00 | Hey Guys, Decided to finally ditch Vista and load Seven on my laptop. When I try to install Seven I get an error saying a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing............ Laptop is a Compaq Presario B1201TU, there are no Seven drivers on HP's website. I have tried the Vista chipset drivers but just got given a list of about 50 options from which to select the right one to install. Any ideas? Cheers |

| 843832 | 2009-12-28 05:30:00 | Hey Speedy, yea trying to do a clean install. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 843833 | 2009-12-28 05:49:00 | WHEN does it say you need a driver? After you get to the setup screen, or before? It cant be SATA drivers, Vista and Win7 dont need them. And it wont be the chipset drivers, since you need windows to install it. The cd or whatever on this laptop is a cd and dvd right? It looks like a few people are having the same prob. and fixed it by installing win7 from a USB flash drive | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 843834 | 2009-12-28 05:53:00 | The error appears once you boot from the install disk and click on "Install Now". I didn't really think it would be the chipset drivers but couldn't think of any others that might make a difference. Yea its a normal CD/DVD drive. |

| 843835 | 2009-12-28 05:59:00 | Where did the DVD come from? Did you buy it or download it then burn it? Did you highlight the hdd, then click on install? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 843836 | 2009-12-28 06:03:00 | Downloaded the iso from MSDN-AA and burnt, have burnt it twice both times at slow speeds and verified them. Doesn't get to the stage of selecting hard drives comes up with the error straight after this (www.winsupersite.com) screen. |

| 843837 | 2009-12-28 06:06:00 | Umm what version of Windows 7 is on the dvd? 32 or 64 bit?? Because if its 64 bit and the laptop (maybe 32 bit / does the laptop support 64 bit ?), that could be the prob. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 843838 | 2009-12-28 06:21:00 | 32 bit Professional | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 843839 | 2009-12-28 06:24:00 | Did you change the bootdisk to the dvd in the BIOS?? Before you installed it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
