Hi guys,

I have got my new laptop ASUS K53SV-SX520D. I ordered it from flipkart and I received it within 24 hours. A remarkably good service.

This model provides DOS version. When I stared installing windows 7, it throwed me an error as "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing". I inserted the driver CD that came with the laptop but that too didnt help.
Pls suggest some solution...

Thanks...
pls reply...couldnt wait to get my hands on it..... :-(

when was the error encountered ??
make a bootable pen drive and try to boot from that ...and check whether the dvd drive is faulty or not ?

This might help you a bit..

Thanks for the reply..

This error occurred after the installation files were copied to the the hard disk(After clicking INSTALL NOW button). A pop up came about this error. It asked me to enter the CD/DVD of drivers which I did but the system 'couldnt find' the driver.

I think as the files were copied on the hard disk, the dvd drive must be working fine....

I have found this thread....

I think the DVD that you are using in gone corrupt.

yes it may be

try to boot from a external HDD or external CD drive or a pen drive....(i mentioned earlier)
or if you have any other bootable media...

try rewriting the Win7 DVD and then instal.
I have same laptop, I had to change only the boot device order while installing.

Thanks you all guys....
The problem was with the DVD. My system is up and running...

Good to know. So hows the gaming/ encoding decoding performance.. Please do post a review if possible
