Are you using any USB 3 ports? If so, use USB 2 ports and restart the PC.

I've never ran into that issue before...

 

Also have you verified the data to make sure the disk/flash drive has all of the data and it is on there correctly?

I am trying to install windows 7 64bit on my rig but after I click "install" it brings me to the select driver list and tells me: "A required CD/DVD drive is missing." I'm not quite sure what it means, do I have to get the driver for my DVD drive?, or for something else? Im installing windows from a DVD using by internal disk drive.

Thanks any help is greatly needed!

 

 

UPDATE: I just want to clarify, I again inserted the driver disk for my motherboard into another working computer again and again untill it would finally show me the folders hidden within. One I did that, I copied a folder named "Hw7" to a USB. I loaded the Sata Raid driver and it began to install untill it was stopped halfway through, and told it was corrupted. After this when I was then able to browse for more drivers, my internal drive for the first time was shown. The I plopped back in the windows 7 disk again and windows decided to magically start installing on my Raid Drive I created. I have no idea why it did any of this but now works.

Thats weird as Windows 7 does not have native USB3 support, unless you were using a modified ISO

It doesn't? I don't know... it may be because I get the ISO from MSDN.

Nope thats a orginal ISO, maybe you actually plugged it into a USB2 port
