The dreaded 'A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing'.
There are several threads dedicated to this, and so far nothing seems to be working.
Asrock z170 ITXm/ac
Win 7 OEM install DVD purchased from Amazon
LG external USB optical drive
I am only using the USB 2.0 ports
I have tried the following:
Unplugging all devices from USB 3 ports
Unplugging DVD drive for x seconds at install screen, plugging into other ports
Changing BIOS settings:
USB legacy auto
PS2 emu enabled
SATA is not set to RAID
I do not believe there are any other relevant BIOS options.
Inserting (USB2 slot) a FAT32 or NTFS-formatted Kingston thumb drive with various driver .exes (such as SATA drivers and USB drivers). Unfortunately, neither the drivers nor the USB show up
Creating a bootable USB with grub-install:

But this also complains about the driver. Unplugging/replugging the USB does not fix the problem
But to no avail. Note also I do not have a running Windows OS: only Linux and Mac.

I know this is an old question, as I’ve seen it on various forums. However, I have now spent virtually a whole day trying the various solutions offered, and none has helped.
I really don’t like W10, for all sorts of reasons. Sorry, I know it’s where you want me to go, but I’ve had it since it became available, and I hate it, so I’ve put a new HDD in my HP envy 15 laptop, and attempted to do a clean install of W7 from an original, unscratched DVD.
Pci simple communications controller driver not installed. However, when it gets to the “Install” button on screen after I get past the language option, I get the dreaded “A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing” message and can go no further.
I have tried with UEFI/legacy support etc enabled, disabled, every which way; I’ve tried creating a USB stick and doing it that way – nothing works. It always sticks at the same point.
What is actually going on here? Is it REALLY looking for a driver for the DVD or USB stick, or does it really mean something else? Install hp ledm driver.

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *. Rtl2832u driver.
I am not using a USB 3 port, as that was mentioned. Others have suggested obtaining an Intel mass storage driver, but my chipset is AMD.
How do I get past this problem, please?
