Problem with Windows 7 installation :(

[ExtenZe]

Hello people , i just built my first pc , everythings seems well , i can enter the bios normally. So , i tried installing Windows 7 to my boot  SSD from a CD , using an external CD\DVD Driver , but whenever I get into the setup screen , i select the language , and when i pressing the Install Now button , a small windows pops that claims tha a CD\DVD driver is missing.. When i close that window there isnt any selection i can choose. Ive tried pluging the CD\DVD driver to different usb ports ( 3.0 and 2.0 ) but the problem persists, im at a point that i dont know what to do .

My motherboard is an Asrock H110M-ITX , CPU: i5 6500 ,RAM: HyperX Fury 8gb single stick ,  SSD: SanDisk Z410 120gb SSD.

Here are some pictures of my issue:

you need a driver for that DVD drive on a usb stick that you can load it during installation

[narrdarr]

pc is having trouble reading the info on the disk do to not having a driver for your disc drive. save yourself the trouble a make a usb boot drive. its faster anyways.

Windows 7 does not have drivers for the USB XHCI protocol, thus you need to inject the drivers into the Windows install

if you already have a disk burned, you need to burn one more

 

to inject the said drivers, follow this guide: http://www.asrock.com/microsite/win7install/

to avoid all this, get yourself a SATA optical drive and a PS2 keyb and mouse

Win 7 USB Patcher

Due to chipset limitation, when you want to install Windows^® 7 on this MB, you may need to use “Win 7 USB Patcher” to create a new ISO file, or check this page for more details on how to install Windows^® 7 OS.

Well this has happened to me before and its always the install not the USB. Try a different Windows install and see if it works.

Use this tool instead. Works like a charm.

and you will end up with the same exact problem

as I said, you need to inject the USB XHCI drivers into the Windows install kitt

he'll still need to inject the USB XHCI drivers in the W7 install kitt

ok seems i have some work to do , one last question , i have a working  internal DVD\CD driver in an old pc that isnt operating ( AMD Sempron 2800+ 1.61ghz ) could i use that , as long as it connects to the newer hardware, to install windows 7??? ( i have the windows disk already )
