    Cannot find storage driver for Win 7 installation


    Hello community,I am trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my old Acer Aspire 5742zg. Once I need to select a partition to continue the installation process, I get a warning saying that I need a storage driver and none partitions appear. I have also tried to install Windows 10 not sure if it is supported by this laptop, but the same error occurs. I tried to find this storage driver on Acer’s official site with no success. I've also shared this on Acer Community and no solution was given. Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you!

    :)

    Chipset drivers for Win 7

    Yes, just use the Vista x64 drivers. Should work.

    What Drivers To Install

    Even though I purchased Windows 7 about two weeks ago, I have not installed it yet. I just want to make sure I install all of the correct things. So, I should have to install
    • latest Intel Chipset Driver
    • latest Intel Matrix Storage Manager (is this the only RAID thing I have to install?)
    • latest Soundmax ADI Audio Driver
    • latest Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Driver
    • latest Marvell SATA driver
    • latest ATI CCC and Driver
    • Windows 7 should install the hyperthreading driver by itself right? Vista did.

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
