You might ask, well why did the DVD drive throw the error? Well, that's because the DVD drive was an external because there is no internal DVD drive on this model laptop. This issue is caused because the installer media doesn't have a driver to install through a USB 3.0 port. That's like your car throwing a CEL for the carburetor not working when you're using fuel injection. Well, how does this make sense? It's asking for a DVD driver when using a USB device. Well, I thought I would be smart and instead do the install via a USB device. iso image of Windows 7 installed on it, but when after clicking the install windows button, I would get a notice that the installer couldn't locate the CD/DVD driver and I needed to browse to locate it.
Recently I came across a problem when attempting to install Windows 7 onto a Dell Precision 7710.
