I just bought a new config ( ASUS p8z68-v lx, i5-2500k + ram and new graphic card ).Coming back and installing it in my old computer, I just saw that my DVD player was on IDE (yup…).
So, I needed to install windows 7 64bits from my usb key. Fine, I made my usb key bootable and copy the official DVD on it (the same version that was on my old computer), set BIOS to boot on it first and started the computer up.
https://thenewkeen.weebly.com/cii-sohrabji-godrej-green-business-centre-pdf-to-jpg.html. It worked fine until it asks me for cd/dvd drivers (which is funny since, I do it via USB because I can't plug in my DVD player :D) I have 3 SATA HDD plugged in and that's it.
I made a small google search and found that it could be SATA or RAID drivers. Fine, I took another USB KEY and put all my motherboard drivers on it (from the CD sold with the MB) and none of those drivers seemed to work. I tried downloading new drivers from ASUS website and same effect.
Any idea but no 'buy a new DVD player', I'm now broke for the month :) ?

You need USB 3.0 drivers to read installation media. Windows 7 is fine with AHCI.

The problem is a bit mysterious until you realize what's happening behind the scenes during a windows install. And, there is a workaround to allow you to use USB 3.0. One workaround is easier in the moment, the other requires a bit of work to setup, but will be easiest for future installs.
Here is a lengthy but casual description of the process, and why you can't complete the install:
Summary
So now, it should finally make sense, that Bios, Windows Preinstallation Environment, and Windows 7 are each their own operating systems, each more complex than the one before - but each needs it's own drivers to access devices.
It's actually pretty simple. You just need to add a driver to each OS. Bios has it's own. Windows PE and Windows 7 are stored as packages on the installation disc.
The long way around is to get a copy of your USB 3.0 drivers, and unpack the WinPE package, and if you want, unpack the Windows 7 package, stick the driver INF files into their driver caches, and repackage them, and put the updated package back on the install disc. Once that's done, you're good for any new installs you do. Someone else can tell you how to slipstream. It's a bit time consuming for a one time fix.
For a one off, it's a lot easier to do this.
Remember that a USB stick will only install Windows 7 if the stick is formatted NTFS before you copy your Win7 dvd to it. FAT wont work.

Try this, ymmv.
Install from USB:
When Windows is asking for driver, just click Cancel. You will be brought back to the welcome screen. At the welcome screen, remove your USB drive, insert it back to DIFFERENT USB PORT. Click Install Now again. The installation process will be like usual.

Also, forget where I found this tidbit
'it was the SATA drivers for the MoBo'
'On another PC (obviously), I downloaded the latest Win7 drivers for my motherboard and put them on the USB stick that I was installing Win7 from (although this should probably work even if you install from DVD, just as long as you can get to them when you Browse from the error dialog). Once I got the error, I browsed to the files to install, but they still didn't show up. I unchecked the box for not displaying incompatible drivers and then they showed up. I selected the driver and hit Next and everything went smoothly after that.'
'What drives me crazy is that the error message gets you looking for DVD drivers when it has nothing to do with that, plus Win7 doesn't even recognize the correct drivers as being compatible with the hardware!'

OK, on short you must change the USB port.I nearly thought I wrecked a friends LAPTOP.
My problem was like this: https://thenewkeen.weebly.com/after-effects-cc-light-sweep-plugin-check.html.
As soon as I changed the USB port from 3.0 to another one (which I suppose was a 2.0 drive) it worked.

I had this issue with an ASUS N56VZ laptop, which only has USB 3.0 ports (Intel chipset).
I went to ASUS's driver downloads for my laptop model, and found that 2 drivers in particular were necessary for success on my laptop: the Intel Chipset drivers (for USB 3.0 support), and the Intel RST drivers (Rapid Storage Technology). Note that you may not need the RST drivers if you have the RAID controller fully disabled (and only use AHCI mode).
Once I downloaded the drivers, I extracted the archives, and copied them both into the sources folder on the USB. Finally, I rebooted from USB stick in same USB port, and voila! Install as per the usual process.
P.S. It shouldn't make a difference, but just note that both my USB stick and ports are both USB 3.0.

Normally you would need the AHCI/RAID drivers, wich can be made using this driver package:http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/sata/Intel_AHCI_RAID_V10501026_XPVistaWin7.zip
According to the description: 'Make Intel AHCI/RAID Driver Disk'.That is what setup needs to access the harddisks.
Officially the files in 'Intel_AHCI_RAID_V10501026_XPVistaWin7Driver64bit' should be what you need.
Alternatively you can recreate the USB stick using the official method that's suppored by Microsoft:http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Good luck!

Have you tried this:When setup asks for drivers close these two dialog windows until you are back on welcome screen and then change USB port (attach flash drive with Win7 setup to another port) and click 'install now' again? It is much simpler.

Found another possibility in this thread :
I've since found the problem lies with the win 7 SP1 download. I've downloaded the original Win 7 non SP1 file from Technet downloads and it installs ok, it doesn't ask for a CD/DVD driver..

Here's the easiest solution to the problem without the hassles of locating the correct driver. This issue happens only with the latest builds of windows 7 installer running from a USB drive connected to a USB 3.0 port (usually blue colored). Simply reconnect your USB drive to a non-3.0 port and restart the installer by clicking the close button on the setup window and trying again. Most newer motherboards have both ports.

Apparently Windows 7 has
no built-in USB3 drivers (source) (unlike Win8 or 8.1) so after the control is passed from the BIOS (which does know its USB3 controller well enough) to Win7(PE), the OS looks for appropriate drivers to load for the controller onto its driver stack, but it fails to find any. So every port connected to a USB3 controller won't work without additional drivers. Also, I think all blue-ish ports are USB3.
Some BIOSes may allow downgrading the USB controller's mode for backwards compatibility, which can solve the problem in some cases, by forcing the controller to work in USB2 mode through the BIOS settings.
The seemingly easy solution is to find the appropriate drivers and supply them to Win7. They can usually be found somewhere around
Support->Drivers-><OS>->USB in the motherboard manufacturer website, where <OS> is to be replaced with sth like 'Windows 7 64-bit' in this case. It should be noted that the files may need to be unpacked beforehand, for the OS to recognize them.The folder containing the .inf (a.k.a. 'setup information') file(s) for the appropriate architecture (amd64 in this case) needs to be made available to the OS.
In this particular case the following steps may work (links might become invalid, ..):

I had this problem as well a while back and if I recall correctly I simply tried another USB-port and it worked. It is also very important that you make the Windows 7 USB installer following these steps: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/

Make sure your USB is not in a USB 3.0 port. Disable
XHCI Pre-Boot Mode in BIOS. This will disable the USB 3.0 port so the Windows Installation doesn't see it, and therefore doesn't require drivers for it.

Since Windows 7 won't load unsigned drivers by default, you need to press F8 when the DVD PE-OS is booting and select Advanced Boot Options, then choose Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. This should solve the issue if the other method didn't work.
I burned the ISO from one of the USB drives to a DVD and was able to install Windows just fine with it.

I know this is an old post, but I found this via Google and want to share what fixed it for me.
I booted from a USB 2.0 flash drive (on a USB 2.0 port) and when it prompted for drivers, I canceled and went back to the 'Install now' prompt in the installer. BenjiWiebeBenjiWiebe
Then I removed my flash drive, plugged it into another computer, and changed the UUID and unset the boot flag with GParted. Then I plugged it into the new computer and retried installing, and it worked!
