Here is a vid of there error its not my vid but i get exact same error i have tried everything was working fine on my maximus vii hero but its giving me the ****s on the VIII board You guys got any ideas? Edward05 08-13-2015, 01:29 PM yeah i just found that out i do not have an optical drive, Would a USB optical drive work i can get one of them easy, Also where is this in the bios ? i do not see anything that says this Enable ‘Windows 7 Installation’ or ‘EHCI mode http://forums./hardware-clinic-2/%5Bpsa%5D-z170-chipset-may-affect-windows-7-users-5127041.html Praz 08-13-2015, 01:50 PM Hello Use one of the methods shown in the link below. The first two will require a SATA optical drive. http://dlcdnet./pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-K/DE164_100_Series_Windows_7_Setup_Guide_print.pdf Edward05 08-13-2015, 01:59 PM thank you for your help its greatly appreciated, Keeping it book marked for now but damn seems alot of trouble just to install W7 jesus makes me feel like we aree back in XP days lolz Praz 08-13-2015, 03:09 PM Hello You're welcome. These workarounds are necessary with Intel removing EHCI controllers form the PCH as Win7 does not natively support xHCI Desmond86 08-18-2015, 09:59 PM Hello, where do I get ASUS EZ Installer? I don't have a DVD drive so can't use the ASUS support DVD. ASRock offers a similar software that could be used, but I rather use ASUS EZ Installer. Why didn't you put it on your website for download like they did for their Motherboards? http://www./microsite/Win7Install/index.html ftp://europe./Utility/UsbPatcher/UsbPatcher(v1.0.6).zip Praz 08-19-2015, 02:58 PM Hello, where do I get ASUS EZ Installer?

I cannot for the life of me get windows to install without a diskdrive. The manual methods simply don't make sense to me and I am really stuck, I have windows 7 64 on an ISO image installer on a USB. What do I do next? Kind regards, Desmond86 08-19-2015, 09:42 PM I remembered that I have a laptop lying around so I extracted the software from the DVD there. I have uploaded it for others here: http://www./asusezinstaller Anyway, I noticed that your tool does not create a 'EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi' file which is required for Windows 7 to boot on a UEFI PC. It is a bit stupid that your software does not create this file, thus not making the installation bootable. I have uploaded the file here: http://www./bootx64_1 Extract it and put it on the USB flash drive at 'E:\efi\boot' or whatever drive letter your USB is mounted to. The below method is the correct way to prepare USB stick, the file I uploaded is the file described below. Preparing the USB Stick for UEFI Check if the file 'BOOTX64.EFI' via the path \EFI\BOOT\ is available on the stick. If this is not the case, you can copy the file to the stick by using one of the two methods below: If access to the stick is via a UEFI-enabled computer with a Windows 7 (or higher) x64, the Bootloader can be copied and renamed to the stick. You can do this on the system partition under: C:\Windows\Boot\EFI for the file bootmgfw.efi Copy it to the stick in the \EFI\BOOT\ folder and rename this file BOOTX64.EFI (notice the reverse order of efi and boot) The file bootmgfw.efi can also be extracted from a Windows 7 (or higher) x64 - DVD. It is located in the 2.7 GByte large archive Install.wim in the subdirectory \sources. The archive can be extracted with an archiving program. This file is located in the subdirectory '1' of the archive at 1\Windows\Boot\EFI\. https://www./en/wiki/Creating_Windows_UEFI_Boot-Stick_in_Windows I also tried the ASRock software but it does not work, it complains that path of driver folder is not valid, but there is not even any option to select the location of USB 3 driver. By using ASUS EZ Installer and the Bootx64.efi file, you are ready to go. Praz 08-19-2015, 09:57 PM I remembered that I have a laptop lying around so I extracted the software from the DVD there.

Allows Win7 to be installed even though it does not natively support xHCI. Win7 will install fine after using the utility if installed in legacy mode. Modding the Win7 install media for UEFI or any other purpose is not the intent of the utility. Desmond86 08-19-2015, 10:00 PM The easiest method to do this, would be to use Rufus: https://rufus./ In Rufus do this (select the ISO by clicking the CD drive icon): http://i./nDH8y7h.png Then copy the AutoUnattend folder and AutoUnattend.xml file to the root of the USB stick: http://i./y1R1zyE.png If you don't have access to the Support DVD, I uploaded it here: http://www./autounattend Remember to enable CSM in BIOS, but install in UEFI mode. It should now boot fine. aceridgey 08-20-2015, 07:49 AM The easiest method to do this, would be to use Rufus: https://rufus./ In Rufus do this (select the ISO by clicking the CD drive icon): http://i./nDH8y7h.png Then copy the AutoUnattend folder and AutoUnattend.xml file to the root of the USB stick: http://i./y1R1zyE.png If you don't have access to the Support DVD, I uploaded it here: http://www./autounattend Remember to enable CSM in BIOS, but install in UEFI mode. It should now boot fine. Sorry guys, I have the ISO on the disc and copied the two folders on there and came to the same issue. When I 'browse' the drives in the windows install, I've only got harddrive X. Do I need to enable this CSM mode? Where is that located and is it not on by default? Kind regards Desmond86 08-20-2015, 04:40 PM So you are booted into the installation and your keyboard and mouse is working? Then the USB 3 drivers is already working. Where are you browsing for drivers? On the step where you format your HDD? There you are only supposed to browse for the SATA driver if you need it. Yes, CSM needs to be enabled, and Secure Boot needs to be disabled. http://i./cvKW4xkl.png (http://i./cvKW4xk.png) aceridgey 08-23-2015, 02:27 PM Is there ANY way to fresh install windows 7 without a Sata DVD drive? Edward05 08-23-2015, 03:52 PM Is there ANY way to fresh install windows 7 without a Sata DVD drive? Asus says there is but them ways do not work for me, I have made a eufi W7 flash drive and put them files on it but it still looking for the drivers so the only way i can install W7 is from ODD nilsman 08-23-2015, 10:30 PM I've spent quite a few hours trying to install Win 7 on a Z170 Pro Gaming today. A few findings: Using the Asus tool to create a USB stick does not work (tried the tool both on a win 8.1 and a Win 7 32 bit PC). The tool completes but when using the USB stick I either get no USB 3 support (meaning I cannot use keyboard/mouse) or I get the message in this thread 'missing driver...'. Using a optical SATA drive with Asus DVD + USB stick with Win 7 I get a bit further. I get as far as 'Extracting files 100%...' during the Win 7 install but then nothing happens (tried 3 times). To eliminate a faulty USB stick I installed Windows 10 using the same stick and it worked fine. So then tried using Rufus (both GPT/UEFI and Legacy BIOS) with and without the USB drivers from the ASUS DVD + Win 7. This did not work either. My last attempt now (looks like it has worked) was with a Rufus created Win 7 USB stick with the USB 3 drivers. Then when the install complains about 'missing driver...' I browsed and used this driver (on another USB stick): \Intel_USB3_Win7_V40036_Win81_V10042\Windows7\Driv ers\HCSwitch\x64\iusb3hcs I found that driver on the Asus Support pages for Z170 Pro Gaming (it's in the Intel USB 3 package). Anyway, it's now booted into Win 7 and is downloading Windows Updates. Praz 08-23-2015, 11:31 PM Using the Asus tool to create a USB stick does not work (tried the tool both on a win 8.1 and a Win 7 32 bit PC). The tool completes but when using the USB stick I either get no USB 3 support (meaning I cannot use keyboard/mouse) or I get the message in this thread 'missing driver...'. Hello I would review the entire procedure being used to determine where things are going off track. Win8.1 does not need any USB driver or special preparation for install. Edward05 08-24-2015, 02:46 AM did you create the drive as MBr or GTP with rufus? Desmond86 08-24-2015, 03:12 AM Sorry, my instructions does not work. I posted them without trying properly but tonight I have tested everything and found a solution. First I tried to boot the Installation USB. Keyboard and mouse works but no HDD is detected and I get driver error when trying to load the AHCI driver: http://i./4U54xDS.jpg http://i./FXH3TCr.jpg I then tried to launch the setup from WinPE 10, HDD was detected but Install failed: http://i./L4JPwCJ.png So then I used ApplyWim method to put Windows on HDD without installing it. First you need to Download WinPE 10 ISO (https://cloud./public/ECe4/osZzDwARs). (I uploaded only WinPE for you so you don't need to download the whole 3 GB Windows 10 ADK). Extract the files to the root of the USB drive (the flash drive must be FAT32). Copy install.wim from Windows 7 ISO\Sources folder to the root of the USB drive. Download ApplySeven (https://cloud./public/5Nsj/5WZrdy3ya) and extract the files to the root of USB, where you copied install.wim Go into BIOS and set Secure Boot to 'Other OS' and then enable CSM: http://i./ljMaKANl.png http://i./rPCOkE3l.png http://i./OEwzeOpl.png Boot the USB drive. When you are at CMD window: Type diskpart Type list disk and check if your HDD is disk 0 (or disconnect all other HDD's from your PC except the one you want to have Windows on (safer)). http://i./DTRytXk.png Then figure out which drive letter your USB drive is mounted at by typing: list volume You can see it by the label of the USB. Then select that volume by typing (where X is the number): select volume X Then type: ASSIGN LETTER=D Last step is to run the Apply script. Type exit in diskpart, then type D: and ApplyImage.bat The script will then format and create all partitions on disk 0 and apply Windows image to it, and finally copy bootloader. http://i./fvcQtjL.jpg You will see a message at the end when bootloader has been copied, just reboot PC and you will be at the OOBE setup. http://i./gWkmfDi.png You can also put the install.wim and the other files on a second internal HDD, it will apply much faster, ~ 3 min, but you have to change the drive letter of that HDD to D. nilsman 08-24-2015, 10:47 AM Hello I would review the entire procedure being used to determine where things are going off track. Win8.1 does not need any USB driver or special preparation for install. I know Win 10 and 8.1 both install fine. But what I'm talking about here is USING the Asus EZ Installer tool on already installed WIn 8.1 and a Win 7 PC. nilsman 08-24-2015, 11:05 AM did you create the drive as MBr or GTP with rufus? Tired both options in Rufus with different combinations of BIOS settings. Also tried both FAT 32 and NTFS on the USB stick. Going for UEFI GPT in Rufus and full UEFI settings in BIOS eventually gets you to a BIOS message saying something like 'some settings are invalid/incompatible so we have changed them for you, press F2 to continue or F1 to enter BIOS'. When checking the BIOS it has indeed enabled CSM again (running latest BIOS 0301). My Win 7 install seems to be running fine after I used the HCSwitch\x64\iusb3hcs driver. Although it is not using UEFI boot... Will probably not spend anymore time on this as I intend to replace the Z170 Pro Gaming board with the ROG VIII Extreme when it becomes available. Desmond86 08-25-2015, 08:05 PM Hello guys, I think I found another solution. You need to integrate USB 3 driver to boot.wim and it will detect HDD during setup. I have not tied to install this way since I don't want to re-install Windows now. http://i./UdB239V.jpg http:///2014/03/how-to-install-windows-7-with-only-usb-3-0-ports/ C:\USB3 Fix>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:mount Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Mounting image [==========================100.0%================== ========] The operation completed successfully.

Edward05 08-26-2015, 12:05 PM Desmon that worked like a damn charm thank you EDit Windows 7 installed completly but omfg no usb ports are working WTF So cant install nothing from flash drives WTF is this bull**** Strange thig is my Mouse anf KB work but in device manager its being picked up as PS2 lmao Desmond86 08-26-2015, 06:19 PM Windows 7 installed completly but omfg no usb ports are working WTF So cant install nothing from flash drives WTF is this bull**** Strange thig is my Mouse anf KB work but in device manager its being picked up as PS2 lmao Did you install USB 3 driver by using the setup or from device manager? When I did did it from Device Manger, all USB ports stopped working and I had to reinstall Windows. My WiFi dongle was not working on both USB 2 and USB 3 until I installed USB 3 driver. So be sure to install USB 3 the correct way. zsanfusa 08-26-2015, 07:30 PM try xboot or linuxpencdrive Edward05 08-26-2015, 08:58 PM i installed the drivers with the C:\USB3 dism /mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:mount dism /image:mount /add-driver:'usb3' /recurse dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit I can completley install windows mouse and KB work fine but windows is picking them up as PS2 as i said iam unable to use any usb ports i plugg a flash drive in and it doesnt pick it up Edward05 08-26-2015, 09:33 PM Just wondering my Wim is a different version ithe windows iam using is a modified ISO image completly updated do you think that would affect it ?

Did you enable Legacy USB and xHCI hand off in BIOS? http://i./Ifkblmxl.png Edward05 08-26-2015, 09:37 PM Oh just wondering are you installing it with UEFI support or MBR Partition? Ill have a look in a few mins its just installing again, I Have tried the drivers from the asus site plus ones of the MB Support dvd, Thank god for laptop lol Right now i intergrated the ones from the link Will post back in bout 5mins or so Desmond86 08-26-2015, 09:51 PM UEFI/GPT. Use these driver on the ASUS driver page. I'm having trouble getting Linux to run on this machine, even harder then getting Windows 7 installed and running. Edward05 08-26-2015, 10:00 PM Alright here is what my bios looks like i have also disabled the usb3.1 asmedia and still nothing http://i./NPwJKQb.png?1 http://i./7ndgMUO.png?1 Desmond86 08-26-2015, 10:02 PM So you reinstalled Windows and it's still not working? It could be the modified ISO. Idk, I did not install Windows, I applied it to the HDD, I wrote how to in a previous post. I used a Windows 7 Enterprise clean ISO. Edward05 08-26-2015, 10:06 PM i'am thinking this maybe the issue, I will recreate the Flash Drive With a UEFI/GPT partion I just find MBR Partition Gives better Performance Edward05 08-26-2015, 10:08 PM UEFI/GPT. Use these driver on the ASUS driver page. I'm having trouble getting Linux to run on this machine, even harder then getting Windows 7 installed and running. Lmao this is prolly the issue Where did you DL a ENT ISO ? Could i get link? Desmond86 08-26-2015, 10:43 PM I can't send you a PM.

Bizkitcan 09-21-2015, 04:05 AM Got it working by using the Asus EZ Installer I burned a copy of my ISO image to a Dual Layer Disc and ran asus ez installer HMMMM this is strange You took a Win 7 DVD .iso and used the Asus EZ installer to burn a CD instead of a USB ? I only have a USB or ISO option on the Asus EZ installer ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bizkitcan 09-21-2015, 05:30 AM So, I was using the ASUS EZ INSTALLER off of the damned disc that came in the box. It actually failed to install windows all the way using the old DVDs software. Giving the error of windows cannot be install due to unsupported HW. I have downloaded the ASUS EZ INSTALLER , from the ASUS Driver page under utilities for this MOBO. Which is dated as new of AUGUST 2015. it works.... it takes longer to load but, USB works, moved over the LAN drivers on a USB and now I am cooking.... 4PM to 11PM .... stupid oBe_One 10-28-2015, 09:04 AM SOLUTION: The solution for me was just to burn a DVD and use a SATA DVD drive to install Windows 7. The issue is clearly Asus BIOS not having proper legacy emulation support for windows 7 USB drivers. A frustrating and insufferable experience that ruined an otherwise happy new computer build. Once in Windows Keyboard and Mouse worked fine but no USB Flash Drives would work lol. So had to burn a disk with the USB drivers and the LAN drivers from another computer off the website (as I didn't have the original disk) Perhaps Asus will install a BIOS patch to fix it. Desmond86 11-11-2015, 07:36 PM I updated BIOS and noticed there is a PS/2 emulation option now: http://i./kqiuc7h.png sergemalo 10-16-2016, 01:47 PM Hi all, Just wanted to thank Desmond86, its trick (updating boot.wim) worked for me. I did not have to use any DVD, I simply used Rufus to create a USB Key from the updated ISO. Before that, I tried this tip from 'HowToGeek': http://www./255540/the-last-windows-7-iso-youll-ever-need-how-to-slipstream-the-convenience-rollup/ However, it did not work for my Z170 machine. Still, HowToGeek gives good indications on how to slipstream a Windows7 Install ISO. Cheers! Serge www.skydelsolutions.com Powered by vBulletin?
