Which ones do I load? And, how do I get them on the DVD disc?

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Which ones do I load? And, how do I get them on the DVD disc?

You load the following:

 

-graphics driver

-ethernet driver

-Wireless driver (in case you it has integrated wireless, which I don't think it has)

-realtek audio driver

-SATA controller driver (not sure if necessary)

 

And you don't need them on a DVD. If you can't download them directly from the PC in question, just put them on a USB drive and install from there.

Also, that website was flagged up for security threats by McAfee.

Okay, do I just save the setup.exe file to the memory stick?

yes, save all the files to the stick and run the setup.exe's all seperately.

Their all on my memory stick now. What do I do next?

 

I've connected it to the desktop but when I go to load them in setup it says "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click OK.

Oh I see, you're in the middle of an install, I thought you had already finished the installation, my bad. Is there no option to skip it and install the drivers later? There should be.

What do I do to skip this or select the driver?

Their is a 'Next' button but it is greyed out. So, I can't click it.

So you can't just click "browse" and navigate to the USB drive? You're installing from a disk provided by acer, right?

I'm not installing from a disc Acer provided. I'm installing from an ISO provided by Digital River which I put on to a DVD disc. I can browse to the memory stick but when I do I get a message saying "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click OK."

OK, I'm pretty sure this is a glitch, it should be detecting the drivers on your USB drive. Try this:

1. Insert the USB drive with the drivers.

2. when the "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing..." error pops up, click OK.

3. it should say something along the lines of "no drivers were found blablabla. Click OK.

4. wait a few seconds

5. uncheck "hide drivers...", click "browse".

6. navigate to the drive, click ok.

Still not working. :(

OK, lets see... are you installing from USB or did you burn the ISO?

 

I've burned the ISO to a DVD-RW Disc.

OK, that's weird. Another thing you can try is to make a bootable USB from the ISO and try to install it that way.

 

To make a bootable USB drive from your ISO use this:

Once I used Codeplex it said that the ISO wasn't an ISO. It said it was invalid. But when I used ImgBurn it worked.

but it is an ISO file, right? 

 

Try using rufus, then:
