A Required CD/DVD Device Driver is missing
"A Require CD/DVD Device Driver is missing . If you have a driver floppy disc, CD, DVD, or USB please insert it now. Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you may safely remove it now."
I trying to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 SP1 onto my Dell XPS 13-321X Laptop with an SSD drive, and after i insert my CD media into my External CD drive connected via USB (since the system has no internal CD Drive), I get this after clicking the "Install Windows" button. I have researched the topic fairly and i have found no working solutions to this issue. Here are the methods I have tried already:
1. After researching the error, multiple sites recommended i download the Serial ATA drivers from Dell and browse towards it using the driver finder when the error pops up. No Success.
2. Switching BIOS settings to support CSM, disabling secure boot, boot priority, etc where applicable. No Success.
3. I attempted installing from a different source of media aside from a CD and a different External CD drive. No Success.
4. Updating BIOS. No Success.
Is this something that can be fixed or worked around?
