Hard drive crash and re install problems.

After replacing my defective hard drive re installing windows 7 has been a major problem. At the beginning of the installation a message appears that a cd/DVD driver is missing and must be installed to proceed. My problem is that the driver is not on the windows CD or the driver CD. I have also not been able to find it on the Dell page either. I then tried installing from an external DVD player. That also did not work.  I am just plain stuck and frustrated. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi timbo031,

I recommend, check in BIOS if the DVD drive is detected. Also, check if the first boot device is set to DVD drive and boot with the Operating system disk.

Kindly private message me the service tag/model of the computer so that I can help you with a better resolution.

Awaiting your response!
