installing windows 7 on n3150 barebone via usb

I am trying to install windows 7 via USB on my N3150.

I followed the manual (the win7usbpatcher doesn't work for me).
I used the drivers provided on the cd.
The mouse and keyboard work both fine.

But after Iselected the langauge I keep getting get the message:
"A required CD/DVD drive device is missing. if you have a driver floppy disk, cd, dvd, or usb flash drive, please insert it now."

Does anyone know how to solve this?

I am using the USB drivers that where provided on the ASROCK SupportCD, which came with the N3150 (v4.0.0.27_PV)

There we go

Let's try this, but this time using the latest 7 patcher available

1. The Windows 7 ISO you are using is x64. If not, but instead x86, stop here.

2. Grab the latest Win 7 USB Patcher, v2.0.5, HERE

3. Give it a go using the above patcher



4. If it should again fail ...
4.1 if not already, copy the iso file itself directly to the HDD and retry
4.1 re-format the usb stick and try again
4.2 try another usb stick
4.3 using Rufus, w/o adding the usb drivers, create a NORMAL usb Win7 install on the stick and verify installation proceeds uneventful on another PC
4.3.1 if it fails here to install, question your win7 source iso


Keep us posted.

Did you follow the instructions here?
