Lỗi khi cài win 7 no device driver were fount

This error often occurs when the Windows installation media does not have disk drivers, which is why you cannot see the connected disks while installing Windows. To fix this issue, you will have to download the disk drivers using another device and then transfer them to your Windows installation media to fix this error.

Besides, formatting and activating the primary partition and resetting the motherboard bios settings also worked for several affected users.

After analyzing the issue, the leading cause of this issue does not have the disk drivers. But apart from that, when the primary partition where the Windows will install is not activated, this error can also appear. The benefit of activating the primary partition is that system will use that disk first. So the Windows will be able to boot.

If you build a new computer and the error occurs, ensure the disks are connected properly with the SATA cable. Moreover, it is also possible that the connected disks are disabled from the motherboard bios settings, causing this error.

Another main problem that led many users to this issue is that they plugged the Windows installation USB into the USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 sometimes does not work due to the interference of USB 2.0 drivers or incompatible drivers. Therefore, before applying the following methods, we recommend you try to plug the USB into the 2.0 port.

You can try creating a new Windows installation media from the official website, which contains all the necessary drivers that need to be installed in Windows installation media for the disk to be detected. Carefully follow the steps to create Windows installation media:
