    to install the device driver needed to access your hard drive..


    Hi everyone,

    after deleting accidentally some files while installing windows 7 I'm trying to install it again, but this message appears:to install the device driver needed to access your hard drive, ,insert installation media containing the driver files and then click OK and this message too: the installation media can be a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive and the next message: No device were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click OK

    My motherboard: H81M-K, Asus

    I tried to copy drivers for this motherboard, but there are too many drivers and as well as I don't know which one I need, I can't achieve the installation of Widows 7. What can I do, can you suggest?

    I think that the best way is to create a new CD. Format while installing and it will work

    I think that you deleted files from the CD.
    While installing disconnect everything except the internet, be online while installing.

    Yes, something is wrong with your install media, you don`t need any extra hard drive drivers during an install.

    And you don`t delete any files while trying to install windows 7.

    The only thing you might delete are partitions, but only if you`re sure you want to.

    You simply format the install partition.

    Hi again,

    well, I was ashamed to say that indeed, I deleted some partitions without knowing what I was doing, I wanted to reinstall(because the computer didn't work properly) Windows 7 after installing two distributions of LInux: LXLE and Elementary OS.

    Now I have only LXLE and I want to install windows 7 alongside. When I start installing the system sends warnings:Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 1(Show details)and while clicking on the details: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS. Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is of an unrecognized type

    And while trying deleting this partitions appears this message: The partition might contain recovery files, system files, or important software from your computer manufacturer. If you delete this partition, any data stored on it will be lost

    There are two partitions: Partition 1-Total size 461,9 GB; Free Space 0,0 MB; Type-System
    Partition 2-Total size 3.9 GB ; Free Space 0,0 MB; Type Logical

    On both partitions same wornings.
    I choose x86
