SATA Driver Problem With Optiplex 755
I have an Optiplex 755 used as a second PC that has been successfully running Win 7-Pro for several years. Following a partial SATA HD failure, I decided to replace the failing HD with a new and larger SATA HD. When I went to install Win 7 Pro on the brand new Western Digital 1 Tb SATA drive using my original Microsoft installation media, the installation started normally and then stopped, calling for a SATA driver. I downloaded what I believe is the correct SATA driver, R173415, from Dell Support. The Win 7 Pro install process refuses to recognize this driver, claiming it is 'unsigned'.
What is causing this problem? I'm in my mid-80s and although I go back to the MS-DOS days with my old IBM PC, I am way out of my depth with this problem and don't know what to do. HELP!
