Windows 7 x64 installing problem on Precision m6300: missing cd/dvd drivers
Hi, I have a Dell Precision m6300 Laptop.
Windows 7 professional x64 install procedure requires cd/dvd drivers to go on (in the windows where I have to choose the installation disk) and the installation can't proceed.
I tried to install Win7 from:
original cd
usb pen drive
usb pen drive after a physical removal of my cd drive...
Nothing! The request was still there...
I think that cd and disk collide on sata bus, but it's only an opinion, and in BIOS options nothing seems to be resolutive for this issue.
I have this problem only with the x64 version of Win7, not with the x86 version.
If anyone has the same problem, any idea for a solution, or (better!) a working solution, please answer to this post. I don't think to be the only one with this problem :emotion-1:
I am having the same problem, but there must be something else going on: after all you ARE installing from the CD-DVD drive, right? What further driver could it need that it doesn't already have? It's a standard DVD rom drive isn't it? Shouldn't it "just work"?
If there is a solution to this problem I would appreciate it, too.
hi, same problem here, anyone got the answer? I tried re-burning the dvd (it's a windows original downloaded .iso archive) but nothing. Again and again requesting the drivers...
I tried copying the drivers in a pendrive but still didn't work...
What system are you working on? Did you try to burn the DVD at a slower write speed (slowest available in your software)? Did you try downloading the ISO again?
