Hi
LONG STORY SHORT:
I need drivers for installation Windows 7 on Sony Vaio laptop VGN-NW11S.
LONG STORY below:
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium DVD (which wasi bought @ ebuyer) on
Sony Vaio VGN-NW11S/T (model PCG-7171M) orginaly with VistaHomePremium on board.
So it should be that easy.
Format C:
And install new system from bootable disc.
But isn't.
In process of 'collecting information' i was asked for drivers.
I have check Sony's web site before whole process,
and i spend good hour downloading all available drivers for 32-bit windows7.
So i was prepared for it... at least i though so.
I saved all driver on USB flash drive, and on CD (just in case, i worked once with Sony vaio,
and expierence very badly (almost not) working optical drive; but better be safe than sorry...
As expierenced IT worker (with windows 95, 98, Millenium, 2000 and XP, and once upgreat Vista to Win7)
i thought i will add new drivers to bew system after installation process...
Well nothing like this has happend.
Before process has sterted i was asked to provide dirvers.
I tried few time showing folders.. each time I failed.
-'Load drivers.
A required DC/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disc, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.'
I come back to Sony's website.
Aparently if there is no drivers in Windows7 tab, i should try at Vista tab.
So i tried. I download Chipset drivers, copied to USB...
and i finally found something.
But still with no sucess.
I tried this 3 more times, each time instalation process caneled:
-'The installation was canceled.
Windows cannot install requierd files. Make sure all filesrequierd for installation are available, and restart the installation.'
I'm using Windows7 on my Acer Aspire 4810T, works perfectly fine.
Upgreat from Vista (which is nothing but mistake, as Millenium was) to 7 wansn't easy,
but i did make it.
Sony pepople please help me.
What to do?
Where should i take drivers from?
Could someone point me with link?
I'm frustrated, angry and i have no time for it.
I have my work too to do.
This supost to be a faver to firend.
Now my only option is to give him a Linux.
Even he spent over 70.00GBP on instalation disc.
Can i give back laptop to Sony and buy new one, other made obviesly...
Help me please, so I don't have to say this words again.
Help me guys!
Artur
