Building a new system but having a Win 7 issue


Recommended Posts

I'm building a new system and am trying an SSD to load the OS onto. The SSD is a Samsung 840 Pro Series 256 Gb. The motherboard is an Asus Crosshair V Formula A-Z matched with an AMD FX 8350 eight core @ 4 Ghz. But, I have a problem. Trying to install Win 7 64 bit Ultimate (onto the new shiny SSD), I dont get very far. During the first part of the install, Win 7 says it needs a 'driver', but doesn't tell me what driver. I have tried the ASUS install disc, and looked up what I could on the net...have no clue what driver it wants. If there is a driver for the SSD, I'm not having any luck there either.

 

I did install the SSD onto my existing sytem to see what would happen, and Win 7 downloaded a driver. The system did find the SSD and I took a look at the properties. The driver listed is ' 6.1.7600.16385' or 'Win7-rtm.090713-1255'. I would like to copy this driver, but I can't find it. I am guessing that the driver is located in Win 7 somewhere, but..where?

 

Any of you folks have any ideas on this or have had similar issues? I have been at this for two days now and any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! :wallbash:

 

EDIT: Found the problem. Win 7 wanted an HD audio driver to continue installing. Have no clue...here is the driver it wanted

 

nvhdac64.sys

 

I eventually just started searching for drivers for SAT III, USB controllers, disk...and out of despertation, tried audio. It worked. My new system is now up and running but still have a ways to go. :laugh:
