hi gurus. I bought a freedos laptop from jumia and I tried to install windows. win 10 installed but I hate it. refuses almost all my software installs due to compatibility. I decided to use win 7. tried installing from flash but after loading, it gives me an error saying ""A required CD/ DVD drive device driver is missing". I've search online and tried all solutions I saw but no way. I decided to get a win 7dvd thinking its cos of flash, still, same problem. spent 2 days on this already. laptop is Acer aspire e5-571. thanks

First, verify that both installation media are not defective by trying them on another PC.

Go to your laptop's manufacturer's website and download device drivers for the motherboard. Save them to a flash drive and browse to the location when you encounter the error.

Sounds like the discs were burned at very high speed and your internal disc drive cannot keep up.

Try an external disc drive or a different installation disc.

thats a simple one but very technical...not driver related as most people tink...
you will have to invoke an elevated dos "cmd with admin privilege" during installation and enter the "diskpart" environment
actually the "clean" command in diskpart mode resolves this issue but as i said it technical cuz u may wrongly wipe other tins

"A required CD/ DVD drive device driver is missing" by donpata is a perfect example of what i was discussing with u on phone today...the power of Dos and programming as it relates to modern day computing and how it makes u more powerful than just the basic windows user...
take it as a case study and maybe later...i can personally show u in person...if u check many threads on google...u will read the major causes are what shawlax described..true only by 5% occurrence but wen u use a MD5 or sha1 to authenticate your downloaded iso and u even eliminate the possibility of a fake flash and download all the drivers in the world and yet u dont get any answer then u begin to wonder deeper...
read between the lines of my response with him an use that to empower urself in ur quest to know...
familiarise urself with the DISKPART MODE and in this case pause it at the "clean" command..
good luck....i hope u can make it on time so u can give donpata the rest of the answer/guidelines...

Pls adm. I don't know if this is the right place to post my problem. I have a Toshiba Window 8 ultrabook laptop core 13 (the type that looks like an iPad, you can slide it to reveal the keypad, it has no CD/DVD ROM only USB slot). The problem is when it is powered on it only shows "Password=_" at the top left hand corner of the screen without displaying the window logo. Some one told me it is asking for an administrators password. Pls can any tech guru in the house help me out with the password? pls & pls I need your help asap.

It's requesting a Logon password, which was probably set by the previous owner.

I think so, but it is not displaying any other info except "Password=_" at the top left corner. When attempting to boot when powered on, it will attempt to display "Toshiba Loading Innovation>>>" info for say one second before switching to the Password=_ sign.

Hello Sir, good morning..

I woke up this morning put on my laptop. It turned on but while trying to charge it, it wouldn't charge. Now the ba3 is flat but it won't still charge. I tested the charger with a voltmeter and it was working, I removed the laptop ba3 and plugged directly, the ba3 signal showed white light (which usually displayed when the ba3 is almost fully charged), but wouldn't turn on. This still indicates that the charger is working but system is not charging.

What should I do to fix this problem? Thank you in advance..

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 12:25pm On Mar 24, 2016
The charger might be working, but it might not be delivering the correct voltage. So, you can start by borrowing a similar adapter from someone and testing the system with it.

If it doesn't power on still, then find a way to charge your battery or borrow a similar one and then test it on your computer. Let me know your findings.

If it's your PC, then you should know the password. If you got it from someone, reach out to that person for the password.
