Hello Mohd, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Did Windows 7 come preinstalled on your laptop?

If so, what brand and model number is it? We may be able to help you with how to do a factory restore of Windows 7.

If this a Windows 7 you installed yourself, then you could also create a bootable Windows 7 installation USB flash drive to use instead.

Hope this helps for now,

the model lenovo thinkpad X1
i am trying to install by myself

even from usb i found same problem
this msg:

"" A required CD/DVD drive device driver missing . If you have a driver floppy disk , CD , DVD or flash please insert it now.
Note: If the Windows installation media isi n the CD/DVD drive you can safely remove it for this step.""


So the question which CD/DVD driver and the laptop does not have it ???????????????

Be sure that the external DVD drive is disconnected when you try to boot from the USB flash drive to see how it works.

Hey Shawn

that problem only for this model because there is no internal cd/dvd

i copy all files from cd and paste it in USB in root and usb I make it bootable

You have to extract the files from the disc you have before you can put them on the flashdrive.

Make an image file from the disc using ImgBurn

http://www.imgburn.com/

Then Use this tool to put the image file on the usb and let us know if it works.

Or download a fresh iso image from here and copy that to the usb drive.

latest official Win7 installer ISO with SP1

You can also install from a 4GB Sandisc using that tool.

The error you reported always means a bad installer. Write the ISO to flash stick using UltraISO Software To Create Bootable USB Flash Drive which always works for me when the other fail.
