Need sata driver to install Windows 7 on Inspiron 3650
Hi,
When I try to install windows 7 64 (fresh install) on my new Inspiron 3650, it says : "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now"
I went on dell's website and downloaded the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver for Windows 7. I've successfully extracted the driver (64 bit) from it and tried to feed that driver to the Windows 7 installation, but it said that it was the wrong driver...
Here's the list of files for the driver I've used:
iaAHCIC.cat
iaAHCIC.inf
iaStorA.sys
iaStorAC.cat
iaStorAC.inf
iaStorF.sys
Any ideas on how I'll be able to find the right driver and install Windows 7 on that PC please?
update: I'm installing from the USB 3.0 port using a flash drive.

OK,
I did install using the DVD instead of USB. Everything went well. For those with no other choice than USB here's some clues :
