    Hi All,

    I wonder if anyone would kindly help me out with this issue, its a real pain!

    I'm trying to install windows 7 pro 64 onto it.

    When I boot off the CD, I get to the install bit, click on this then I get the screen "Select the driver to be installed" ... now I've tried all types of things to get the driver..
    - Alienware CD's
    - Intel rapid drviers, F1 series drivers

    I've put the following on to the usb but it keeps on saying can't find driver. All this is driving me mad.

    Please help! :mad:

    this drove me mad for 3 days when I tried putting an image on - just use the usb port on the left, not the usb 3.0 ports on the right.

    no worries, also for anyone using acronis to put a image back on, do the same thing or it takes forever!

    Yeah the issue is the ports on the right use a daughter board that require USB 3.0 drivers.
