No drivers were found during Windows 10 installation

[Drakomon322]

I'm trying to install Windows 10 in my new computer, but then a message appears, " No device drivers were found. Make sure that instalación media contains the correcta drivers. Then click okay."

How can I solve this?

I'm installing Windows 10 from a DVD. 

The DVD is not low quality and the ISO is not corrupted. 

I have a Western Digital Blue 1 TB HDD and a Kingston Fury 120 GB SSD.

My motherboard is Gigabyte GA - H97 Gaming 3 ATX LGA 1150 and my processor is Intel i5 4460.

Any help is really appreciated.

that's bizzare.

Usually this error occurs when a USB driver is missing.

Have you looked in other places for a solution?

sorry I can't help

this happened to me reinstalling windows on an old PC I had that was full of crap on the hard drive.

The issue was fixed once I completely wiped the hard drive, but it sounds like your storage devices are brand new

Try connecting your optical drive to a different SATA controller, and try again.

If that doesn't work, get a USB flash drive, go to another system, and using Windows Media Creation Tool ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 ), prepare the USB flash drive to have Windows 10 on it. Then connect it to your system, and boot from it.

I heard that this was a weird SATA problem. Someone says that I should change my HDD from AHCI to IDE and it will work.

Do you guys know about this solution?

No don't do this. You will loose performance.

The problem is the SATA controller. But you need to go get to the setup first. That is why I suggested to use a different SATA controller on the board. Once you are in the setup, you should notice another problem, at the drive selection screen, it will cause a problem at some location. You'll need at this case, get the extracted SATA controller drivers (sometimes in the motherboard chipset drivers) from the manufacture website, usually refereed as ".inf" drivers, have it extracted in a USB flash drive (you can put it in the same USB flash drive). Once done, on the screen, click on "Load Drivers", and select the SATA controller drivers folder, and Windows will do a scan and install them, and now you'll be ready to go. So, be sure to get that, be sure that you don't get the .exe setup file, as Windows is not installed yet, so can't execute exe's. And if it is a zip file, to extract it first.

I'll try with a different SATA on the board first. I'll let you know if it works

It didnt' work. Same problem. Now, I download the SATA drivers from my motherboard' s web page and copy them into my USB driver, right?

Do i need to format my USB driver or do something else?

Windows Media Creation Tool will take care of everything. (Yes it will format your flash drive, so remove everything you need from it first). All you need to do, once it is done, is create a new folder, call it something like "SATA drivers" or what you want, and put the SATA drivers extracted in the folder.

 

Then you need to boot from the Flash drive (If you have the option of 2x USB flash drive, one with "UEFI" in front, pick that one), and the setup should work. At the disk/partition selection screen, click on "Load Drivers", browse to the folder your created where you put the SATA drivers, and Windows will take care of the rest. Once done, pick your drive/partition, and you should be good to go.

It didn't work.

I'm downloading the Windows 10 ISO again.

It seems like the ISO that I downloaded was corrupt.

I hope it works now.

This is giving a headache.

There is easy method (if you have that option). Install win10 using another computer then just plug drive after install to your computer.
