Windows installation

[Z_hill21]

When I go to download windows off of a usb Stick. It says “media driver is missing. DVD, Hard Disk, or usb”. What should I do?

Is this on the system your making the bootable iso from?

you may need to copy the raid or controller drivers on a usb or floppy disk to be recognized by windows. do you have your motherboard set to raid, what motherboard you installing windows on?

load the driver described here

This is the format the Windows setup can read. Select Load Drivers:

Then Browse:

Then navigate to the subfolder containing the drivers:

Ensure that “Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer is ticked” (it should be set like this by default). Select Next:

The Storage controller is now recognised so the internal HDDs/HSSDs etc all show up. If it is all unallocated space as shown select Next.
