Windows Vii - Unable To Discovery Usb Drives
Recently a colleague requesting my assistance on why the USB flash drives are non detected inwards the newer notebook model (eg. HP ProBook 640 G2).
It seems that the UEFI/BIOS are able to observe the USB flash movement & recognized it correctly... it was able to kicking (it was configure to kicking before into Windows 7) but unable to hold upwards detected during the installation sorcerer as well as non showing inwards "diskpart" utility.
Showing upwards inwards the "diskpart" utility is the start steps of the configuration they require to perform inwards gild to maintain to other steps. And they are inwards dire needs to induce got this solve the soonest... I mean value client is squeezing their neck.... hehehe.... ;p
After about query & studies, I'm suspecting the USB3.0 drivers was the culprits behind the problems equally Windows vii are non bundled amongst USB3.0 drivers therefore causing such problems. In gild for the boot-up procedure to charge the USB3.0 drivers as well as later during the installations wizards to charge the same drivers, I must start modify the "boot.wim" & "install.wim" files respectively.
Luckily, I works life an utility to assist me amongst it as well as therefore minimizing my fourth dimension pass for the solution. It's called "DISM GUI" from CodePlex. This utility is a GUI version for "dism" CLI. Much to a greater extent than easier to travel amongst & slow to understand.
Now let's start the fun :-
1. First you lot volition require a working bootable "Windows 7" USB flash movement (I am non going to write about other How-To for this, in that place is already tons of guides on the internet).
2. Create a temporary working folder (eg. D:\WIM).
3. Create ii (2) sub-folders within D:\WIM, start folder is D:\WIM\USB3 as well as the bit folder is D:\WIM\Mount.
4. Now inwards your bootable USB flash movement (assuming [G:\] is your USB flash drive), browse to G:\Sources folder as well as re-create both boot.wim & install.wim files to the temporary working folder which is D:\WIM.
(Note : This may accept a while, so hold upwards patience)
5. Once completed, you lot volition require to download the "DISM GUI" utility from CodePlex, you lot may let out the download link hither (https://dismgui.codeplex.com/).
6. Next you lot too require to download the USB3.0 drivers from your manufacturer (recommended) or you lot tin too role a generic drivers from Intel (only for Intel's chip). The download link is hither (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25476/Windows-7-USB-3-0-Creator-Utility)
(Note : For the sake of slow download, I induce got packaged all the required downloads here)
(Note : It is ever recommended to download the right USB3.0 drivers from your manufacturer if its non Intel chip).
7. After you lot induce got download the Intel drivers, extract the files as well as re-create solely the USB_Drivers\x86 & USB_Drivers\x64 folders to D:\WIM\USB3\ place equally shown below.
8. Now run the "DISM GUI" utility "as Administrator", a novel windows is open as shown below.
9. At the "Mount Control" tab, click on "Choose WIM" button as well as so browse & select "D:\WIM\boot.wim" file equally shown below.
10. Next click "Choose Folder" push as well as select the mountain dot to "D:\WIM\Mount" folder. And as well as so click "Mount WIM" button, this may accept a while.
11. Once mounted, browse to "Driver Management" tab, as well as so click "Choose Driver Folder" as well as select "D:\WIM\USB3" folder only. Ensure that both "Force Unsigned" as well as "Recurse" alternative is selected, adjacent click "Add Drivers" push to continue, delight await for it to complete.
12. Go dorsum to "Mount Control" tab, click on the "Dismount WIM" button, when prompted to commit changes, simply click "Yes" push as well as await for it to complete.
13. Now travel out the "DISM GUI" utility.
14. Now re-create the newly created "D:\WIM\boot.wim" file dorsum to your USB flash movement as well as replacing the master file (G:\Sources\*.*).
15. Now repeat the same steps from #8 onwards for "D:\WIM\install.wim" file but this fourth dimension you lot require to ensure that the right "Index" is selected.
If you lot are non sure, click "Display WIM Info" push to demo the right index. This is steps is critical should the ISO icon you lot used to practise the bootable flash drives contains other editions of Windows vii (such equally Home, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate).
Thus selecting the right "Index" too ensure you lot are selecting the right edition to charge the USB3.0 drivers into it.
16. You volition require to repeat this steps for each edition you lot desire it to induce got the USB3.0 drivers. Else you lot simply require to solely perform this ane time for the edition of your choice.
17. Once you lot induce got commit the changes & unmounts, re-create the "D:\WIM\install.wim" file dorsum to your USB flash movement as well as replacing the master file "G:\Sources\*.*" as well as ane time completed you lot may eject the USB flash drive.
18. At the novel calculator (laptop inwards my case), you lot require to ensure the UEFI/BIOS is configured to hold upwards able to kicking from USB flash drive. Once booted upwards via the USB flash drive, you lot should instantly hold upwards able to role "diskpart" utility as well as able to observe the USB flash movement itself correctly.
19. Below is the pic taken before the modification, you lot tin come across clearly that the USB flash movement is non detected inwards "diskpart" utility.
20. Below pic taken is after the modification, where I induce got added the USB3.0 drivers to both "boot.wim" as well as "install.wim" files. Here "diskpart" utility detected the USB flash movement correctly as well as indicated past times the assigned [G:\] movement letter.
I promise this volition assist others equally good as well as thank you lot for reading.
!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
