Driver Issue

[SoldierX77]

So I've finished building the PC, now I'm starting to load up everything, starting with Windows 7... I have yet to install the new driver, so my iHAS424 Liteon Driver doesn't work atm.. Which it needs to. Here's what comes up when I'm trying to install Windows 7.

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.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step.

When I go ahead and click OK, I must then select the driver to be installed, nothing comes up in the box, so I have to click browse and navigate to my USB I put in. When I go to the folder with the Liteon driver download, which is here; http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=279&Itemid=67.

I do that, and put the .exe file into my USB from the computer I'm using atm, and then put it into the one I'm installing it on to. While I'm in the navigation part to look for the .exe file, it doesn't show up in the folder. Anyone know what's wrong?

can you not skip this, than let windows automatically install drivers once fully booted?

There's no option to skip it. :O

TIS MADNESS!!!! did you put the whole driver folder in there or JUST the .exe?

 

[SoldierX77]

Well, it was a Winrar file, and inside was only the .exe, so I put that in.

ok, just making sure you unrar'd it first. Im kinda at a loss if you made sure to unrar it. Doesn't make much sense to me....My LG dvd burner has NEVER worked on my win7 os. Im literally using it without a disc drive, installed like a champ. Now it just doesn't see my drive. Hasnt really been an issue.

I'll try to boot it up without the OS, but idk, anyone else have any thoughts?
