windows 7 installation drivers missing???
i have found many sites out there that approach my problem here about windows 7 installation not able to find any drivers.
but my problem is just a little bit different:
- the computer i am trying to install windows 7 enterprise on has its HDD out and into a 2.5" HDD enclosure
- windows 7 has been installed on this HDD before (its messed up pretty good for unknown reasons, so i formatted it while its in the enclosure)
- i am going to install windows 7 through another computer running vista, windows 7 will be installed on the HDD that is in the enclosure (by selecting the HDD for a destination during win7 installation)
- the computer that should have the HDD in it, for some, ultra weird reason, does not want to read any disc in its tray. so forget about installing it straight onto the compuer im doing all this for
but all those sites out there that address this same issue fail to solve it by suppling the drivers needed to install windows 7, they always direct you to a link that (in my opinion) is off topic, badly.
i remember coming across this problem before (when i last installed it), and i got around it, somehow. but now it seems that its impossible to fix this
please answer these questions:
what are the drivers for?
how do i get them?
why is it so hard to find these mysterious drivers?
like usual, any help is appreciated, but...
if anyone can supply a direct link to the drivers (if its possible to do so), then that would be B****IN
p.s. i really do not understand why windows needs drivers to install...
p.s.s. im at the epidemy of frustration with this computer, i wont bore you, but its been a week and a half and the ASUS still does not want to give up making me more frustrated, so please, try to be as helpful as possible
thankyou
