[Trophywolfe]

Okay so i had a q6600 before and was running windows perfectly normal than i upgraded to a 4690k and got an msi z97s sli plus mobo. I tried installing windows and i got it to boit into the install section where i can select the language and press install but when i try to select what im installing windows from (my usb stick) it doesnt show up and says that its missing a driver to recognise where the install is from i tried reformating my hdd and it shows up but the screen right after you click install it asks what version of windows to install but i dont get that i tried youtubing and googleing the problem but i cant find a fix that works amd now im posting this.

Make sure you've got it plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

Ya Use a USB 2.0 Port and Make sure you put all the packets on your USB

What do you mean by put all the packets on your USB

[ELSknutson]

When you installed the OS on your USB drive you could of corrupted part of the download or lost some of the packets and it could look like its operating normally but it wont advance past a certain area. This is usually caused by interruptions when downloading (ie. Auto restart or accidentally closing the program while downloading.)   If this is the problem you will need to re-install the OS on your USB drive after you wiped it first.

From what he's described it sounds like he's using a USB 3.0 port for installation and windows 7 doesn't have build in USB 3.0 drivers

Im not retarded lol i know not to use a 3.0 port i thaught i mentioned it

From my experience I think you need to use special Microsoft software to burn the iso (dd doesn't work). I don't have much experience but maybe trying the usb in a different computer might help figure out what is causing the issue.

Do you have an iso file of the OS? Not sure which windows OS you are using but you need a tool like this to build the usb drive correctly.

I had the same problem when trying to install windows onto my pc too, my problem was that the iso file got corrupted while compression. This is the tool i used and it worked fine the second time around:

Try to re plug the usb while still in setup when the error occurs . Also try with an updated copy .

When it asks for a driver, click cancel. Take out the USB drive. Plug it into a DIFFERENT port and resume to install your OS like normal.

It's a bug in the Setup environment, it took me a while to figure it out as well. It's fixed in windows 8 setup.
