Cannot Install Windows 7 on my Dell XPS 8500
I have switched HP's and Asus's from Window 8 to Windows 7 over the past few months and tried to do the same this morning on my Dell XPS 8500.
I have spent most of the morning trying to install Win 7 on my Dell XPS 8500 that came with Windows 8.
I disconnected the supplied HDD, attached an SSD and tried to install Win 7 from DVD. It copied the Windows files, asked me what language and Started Setup. I immediately got a message saying something like 'there is no driver for the CD/DVD device....' I browsed for a driver but Setup couldn't find one. I've never seen this before
I have the Dell Driver CD that came in the box but there is no way I can get to from that point.
How may I overcome this?
Thank you.
