Windows 7 install Aurora R4
Have to reinstall my OS, I get the load driver error message "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing". WTH? It's working off the cd/dvd drive now! I've set the BIOS to UEFI on the cd/dvd drive, no help! Any ideas?

Set BIOS to UEFI and AHCI.
Win7 DVD should now boot properly and install should run.

That worked, Thank you!
It's an Aurora R4 ~ Intel i7 3820 overclocked to 4.2 ghz ~ 16GB ram ~ 500GB SSD & 1TB main ~ GeForce GTX 680 ~ Dell UM2412 monitor.
The reason I got into this problem in the first place, I was trying to speed up the hard drive transfer by assigning them a RAID value. I knew all data would be lost, but didn't think it would be a problem to re-install the operating system, little did I know! Thanks again!

Hi Boospa,
For you to get the software that came with your computer, just go and register your system in My Dell Downloads.

I called Dell they told me that yes reinstalling Windows 7 will wipe your computer
But they told me that I should be able to reinstall all the drivers from the dell site
