SOLVED USB Windows 7 Installation A Required CD-DVD Drive Device Driver is Missing - Duration: 8:23. EasyTechs 603,286 views.
- To find drivers for hardware that Windows refuses to recognize, open Device Manager (a search from the Start menu or Windows 8 Start screen brings it up lickity-split), right-click on the listing.
- I click OK to format and it asks me to supply drivers. My friend mentioned nothing of needing drivers for the harddrive and didnt supply me with any discs. To my knowledge windows 7 should not require any drivers for a blank sata HDD. I will be actively searching for solutions while I wait for responses.
- Can't find DVD driver for new Windows 7 install. During initial Windows 7 setup, it says it needs a DVD driver but I can't find one for my Samsung SH-222BB/RSBS.
I installed Windows 7, 32 bit version, on a machine previously running XP. I believe that this problem started after the install.
I have an iPhone which I can connect to my wifes XP machine via USB, and if it has pictures in its Camera Roll, it shows up in Windows Explorer as iPhone, and I can copy pictures from the phone to the computer. It also shows up in DeviceManager as iPhone in Imaging Devices. This doesnt work when I connect the phone to my machine running Windows 7, also via USB.
On the Windows 7 machine, the phone can sync with iTunes just fine, but doesnt show up in Windows Explorer. In the Devices and Printers form, two devices are added when I connect the phone via USB - Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, and iPhone (the latter only shows up if I have my phone unlocked - that is, passcode entered). When I select the iPhone device, the Status says 'Needs troubleshooting'. I have run the Troubleshooting procedure (right click, Troubleshoot), and it indicates that 'the driver for iPhone is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device'. So, I select 'Apply this fix'. Installing device driver software pops up, and then a moment later 'Device driver software was not successfully installed' pops up. It indicates the the driver was not found. Finally, Troubleshooting says it has completed, with the 'iPhone doesn't have a driver' problem not fixed.
In DeviceManager, iPhone shows up under 'Other devices', and has a yellow triangle with it. Trying to update the driver from here results in the same error - driver not found.
Other things I have tried: all the recommended actions in http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538. Also, I have uninstalled iTunes and other Apple installed software (in the recommended order), and then reinstalled. I have run the Hardware and Drivers trouble shooting wizard (which came up with the same result as running the Troubleshoot procedure from Devices and Printers).
So, I am assuming that this missing iPhone driver is behind the problem of the device not showing up in Windows Explorer. If so, I dont seem to find any solution to getting the correct driver.

Device Drivers are meant to serve as a connection between your operating system and the hardware. If any of them fail, the concerned hardware will stop communicating with Windows. In case you face network-related issues you would probably run the Network Adapter Troubleshooter. If it finds a problem but is unable to fix it on its own, you will see an error message – Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter. If you face this issue, the something in this post is sure to help you fix the problem.
Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter
You could try the following solutions to resolve the issue:
- Update the Network Adapter driver
- Uninstall and the Reinstall the Network Adapter driver
- Run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter
- Run Network Adapter Troubleshooter again
- Run System Restore.
1] Update the Network Adapter driver
To update the Network Adapter driver, type devmgmt.msc in Start search box and hit Enter to open the Device Manager.
Locate the Network Adapter drivers and expand the list. Right-click and select Update driver for each of the drivers.
Restart the system and check if you are able to connect to the network now.
2] Reinstall the Network Adapter driver
Follow the procedure as explained above, but select Uninstall device to remove the driver. Then restart your system and see if Windows is automatically able to install the driver. If not open Device Manager again, right-click on Network adapters and select Scan for hardware changes.
Alternatively, you could download the Network Adapter driver from the manufacturer’s website on another system from the Internet (since the Internet won’t work on your system) and transfer it to your system using a USB drive. Open the Device Manager and expand the list of Network Adapters. Right-click and select Uninstall device for all the Network Adapter drivers.
Now install the drivers that you downloaded earlier.
3] Run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter
The Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter helps in detecting common issues with connected devices (the Network adapter here) and resolve them.
