Win 7 setup & requires drivers
Alright, so here I am, enjoying some new PC parts I bought (hey, an upgrade is an upgrade) and now I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (maybe the whole problem for me?). Anyway, my Motherboard is ECS GF8100VM-M5, AMD Athlon II X2 at 2,8 GHz is my CPU, ATI Radeon HD 3450 GPU (old I know, but will upgrade soon, whenever that might be), 4 GB DDR2 RAM, some old Samsung HDD (320 GB). I am trying to install Windows 7 trough USB (a SanDisk Cruzer Blade, 4 GB). Now, whenever I hit Install now button, after Setup is Preparing... text is gone, I get greeted with "Setup requires missing DVD/CD device drivers" or something like that along the lines. Now, I did download Chipset & RAID (under RAID tab, from Downloads) from the ECS website to my 2nd USB, but nothing. I did try disabling IDE controllers, enabling them, use SATA, RAID and ACHI modes under BIOS, but still nothing.
Any help guys? I am almost at the edge of scratching my own hair out. Also, I am going to buy a SATA DVD-R tomorrow and see whats what when trying to install from a DVD.
