I get stuck on a "missing driver for CD drive" when installing WIN 7
I could salvage the files on my Asus Eec PC thanks to incredible efforts of Cactussoft on this forum a few weeks ago. Now I decided to follow his advice and do a clean install using Digital River´s WIN 7 ISO (WIN 7 Pro swedish x86 - my Asus has NO inst. disc) ,downloaded the ISO file, removed the "ei.cfg" file, burned the image to a disc and tried to install it on my Eee PC. Since it has no own DVD drive, I use an external DVD (LG GP08NU20) USB drive. The installations starts, but after I set up the language and keyboard and get the interface asking me to click INSTALL and I click that, nothing happens for a while and then I get the message that necessary driver for the LG DVD drive is missing. I must install the driver before the inst. can proceed further.
Strange, I thought this driver was on the WIN7 ISO disc - when I plug in my DVD drive into my stationery PC running WIN 7 (although x64) the DVD drive is installed automatically and works fine.Anyway, I am then asked to install the driver, either from a USB stick or another CD disc. I downloaded the LG driver on my stationary PC, unzipped it, put it on a USB stick , insertedit into my Asus USB port and clicked USB as source of the driver files, but to no avail, I get the message than the driver cannot be found, no matter what I do. I´m probably doing something wrong. Any ideas how to remedy this stumbling block?
