Can't install Windows 7

himen256 · 2 Jan 2017 at 17:24

Yo, I have a asus laptop with two USB 3.0 no 2.0 ports.. I have Kingston 32gb 3.0 stick. When I try to install windows I get the error that there is no drivers... So I did add USB 3.0 drivers to my installation, Installation went normally but on the last screen "Finishing Installation" I get stuck at around 75% and then after 20 to 30 min I get blue screen.. Any ideas how to fix it? I have no options in bios to change USB settings..

You don't need USB 3 to install Windows, it runs in legacy USB mde.

I've installed Win7 from USB 2 front plate connector no problem. My guess is your USB stick is faulty, or damaged ISO.

I dont have uSB 2.0 port or stick... so without adding usb 3.0 drivers to installation I cant do a thing but when I do I get blue screen at the end of installation.

hmmm. And I guess if you have a USB DVDRW then it's the same problem you need USB 3 drivers during install for the USB 3 controller to work.

Let me have a look for 2.0 stick... If it doesn't work I'm out of options.

2.0 USB stick is not working without USB 3.0 drivers... Now I dont know what to do.

Have you tried re-downloading / re-creating your iso on the stick? Generally speaking if you hadn't got the USB drivers correct you simply wouldn't be able to start the installation at all. It could just be that the installation data itself is corrupt and causing the fault.

4 different versions of windows and 3 different USB sticks still no bloody drivers found. Now just last one to go... In a second I will go on torrents and downland every version there is and try it out... If Microsoft have a problem with that they can have my CD key.. as now its useless....

What about using nlite, and USB 3 driver?

If I do that, I will get a blue screen at the end of the installation.

Have you tried that, integrating USB 3 driver into the ISO image? (and service pack as well)

No that's not the same as USB 3 during install. Try this

On my nephew's PC with an MSI mobo, the manual states that due to chipset limitations, Windows 7 doesn't support installation from a USB stick. Windows 8 and above do.

That is not the case here, I did have windows 10, 8 and 8.1 on it with no problems.. My last windows was 7 but the was problem with infected files so I did wipe the whole drive. Nothing its left.

I guess no internal DVDRW drive? Is there a way to do a network or HDD ghost image restore?

That must be a limitation of that particular MSI motherboard as there is the Windows 7 USB tool (http://wudt.codeplex.com/). I've installed W7 on work computers using a pen drive.

So out of 4 versions I did try instaling only one with build in 3.0 drivers works but it will blue screen at "finishing a installation".

How do I go about and add drivers while installation is running?

himen256 · 2 Jan 2017 at 21:25

More info laptop asus x552cl it has two 3.0 usb ports nothing more. Without usb 3.0 drivers no way to start the installation. SO now I need to get a way off adding drivers without corrupting installation.

Doesn't it have optical drive?
