Hello-- apologies if there is a thread on this... can't get search tool to work worth a dingus here... "windows" and "x79" come up with 0 results, for instance...
Anyway, having a heck of a time trying to install Win7 on this motherboard... managed to get the BIOS upgraded for Ivy-Bridge, and used DISKPART to make sure one of my SSD drives was formatted and active, healthy, etc
Keep getting this error: "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing." ... this was prior to even having the CD/DVD connected however.
Have tried all the drivers in the INF package that comes with the Ivy-Bridge update as well as drivers from the CD that came with the motherboard and SATA drivers I downloaded from ASRock... assuming this has got to be a driver for the Marvel or Intel onboard SATA (or corresponding RAID driver - not using RAID atm tho) ... in general I get a "No new devices could be found." error after trying to install any of these that windows sees as valid for my hardware...
Any ideas as to exactly which driver it might be looking for?
UPDATE: have tried disabling either Intel and Marvel SATA controllers in BIOS to no avail, also tried IDE mode .. always get the error
