Hard drive failure on an HP Pavilion laptop (DV6-2117SA). Replaced drive. Installing Windows 7 Home Premium x64, just after clicking "Install Now", I get the following:
"A required CD/dvd drive device driver is missing."
I assume this is because the CD drive is SATA? (PS. Some internet reading said this could be down to dodgy install media - I've tried 2 different ISOs). Anyway, head to HP Support, chose W7 x64, Software, then Drivers - Storage. The only relevant thing is Intel Matrix Storage Manager (ver. 8.9.4.1004 C). However, it's in an .exe and I need the .zip so I can dump the drivers on the USB stick.
Tried to find equivalent at Intel Site but none of the ones I have tried work. For example, in f6flpy6488.zip, several are picked up by the W7 installer as "compatible", but when choosing them and clicking proceed, I just get:
"No new devices could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media".
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?!

Anyone know of any other reliable sources for W7 isos?
