Ive tried installing win 7 x64 Pro on it and I keep getting the no driver screen before install starts. ive tried external dvd and usb. changed over to legacy from UEFI. Is it intel rapid that is causing it?
ReplyDeleteHere are the changes you should make on your BIOS :
Delete1. Enable legacy support (I believe you already did this) and disable secure Boot.
2. Under system Configuration, set USB 3.0 configuration to "Auto". (If this option available)
3. Next change the legacy boot order and UEFI boot order to internal DVD/CD -drive (if you are using your internal DVD/CD rom as boot device).
Next, press F10 to save changes and reboot, press ESC upon start-up .
You will see a new menu, select Boot device option (by pressing F9).
Now you will be able to select your boot device and select your boot device. your boot device is your installation disk (example: if you are installing using your DVD-drive select it from the list).
I strongly recommend to use your internal CD/DVD drive for the installation.
There is a possibilities that you would need the SATA driver, try my suggestion first and do let me know the results.
Your awesome!! Thank you. I am about to give your info a shot. Ill report back.

Aziz, thank you so much!! Worked like a champ!! Your awesome!!
ReplyDeleteu r welcome =)
DeleteI know you are probably working with a x360 13 inch, but have you tried a x360 11 inch? It does not have the USB option and I have tried everything. I am pretty sure I am seeing when booting to Windows 7 it can see the legacy/auto USB. I just don't have the setting on the 11 inch to change to the USB. Any idea? Thanks PUG
