Installing Windows 7 on my Old Sony Vaio

[crusher25]

Hello guys. I have an old Sony Vaio. I haven't been using it but when my mom tried to use it, the OS was not working. Before I stopped using it, it was just working well. My sister needs it for school that's why now I'm trying to fix it. I wasn't able to make a backup CD because it doesn't have a DVD-ROM.

I'm trying to make a clean install of the OS. I downloaded this version: Windows 7 Home Premium x86 (32-bit) English - http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65732/X15-65732.iso

And then I used a program to create a bootable USB installer. But when I tried installing it, this error appears: imgbox - fast, simple image host

It's telling me that a driver is missing but I don't know which driver is missing.

My laptop is this one: Sony Vaio VPC-YB1S1E/S 11,6" LED - Fnac.com - Ordinateur ultra-portable

It's a bit old and I can't see it on Sony's site anymore. My dad bought it from Greece.

Hopefully you can help me because I'll be leaving in 2 days and I need to fix this before I leave. Thanks!

Re-download the ISO & remake the USB drive.

Your welcome .. Windows should Install most Drivers .. But you may need the Software for the Function keys ..

Everything needed is here to get and keep a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

Be sure to pay close attention to how drivers are best handled in Win7.

There is also a Special Note for Sony Owners at the end to look at.
