Can't open Windows 7 x64 Mounted Image

ya i have the latest drivers for my BIOS alreddy... i dont think thats the problem but one of my friends told me to check in my BIOS to c if there is any 'compatibility' and change it to 'AHCI'... that will probably help...

Were you able to get the drivers needed into the installer when prompted? I gave you the link.

the drivers into the installer? no

ill try that now by downloading the BIOS one (again) and browsing for that..

im gna boot from it right now and tell u wut happens

alright so i tried burning at booting from it. i burned it with PowerISO v4.6 at 4x with verify, like u said.
now i get an error that says that there are no drivers to load (or something like that). it tells me to browse for drivers but it expects me browse for a folder.. sorry i cannot get a screenshot because it is from boot. please give me another option. THANKS!

Here you say that the booted installer is asking for drivers.

You need to make note of the drivers it requests and download them from your Support Downloads page for your model, or Google the driver needed. If you still have Vista on there you might try browsing this folder: windows/system32/drivers or driverstore.

Post it back here and someone may know.

Make sure your SATA controller is not set to IDE emulation in BIOS.

Can you get ahold of a 4gb+ flash stick to do the booted install? Format it primary in Disk Management and load the Win7 files into the root. Restart computer and select Boot Menu F-key, the flash will be listed under Hard Drives.

When BOOT Screen appear tap F10 (BIOS Setup)

go to System Configuration->Device Configuration->SATA device Mode and make sure it is set to AHCI.

Try again to boot installer.

ok so i did wut u said, look in BIOS for IDE or AHCI
my drive by defualt was AHCI so i tried in on IDE and it still didnt wrk... i changed it back to AHCI and tried, it still doesnt work.

the same error

It would have to say IDE emulation to work with a SATA drive.

Were there any other settings?

Also do this relating to the same CD/DVD driver error message:

the driver that its missing is probably related to the sata drive controller. download that driver to a usb drive (extract it, if its zipped) then boot into setup, you will be able to press a key (iirc its still F6) to install an additional storage driver, at that point choose the driver on the usb drive.
