Getting error when running setup off usb flash drive (8GB Corsair), I get this error:

A required cd/dvd device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, cd, dvd, or usb flash drive please insert it now. No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click ok.

I am obviously able to boot into the USB drive itself (Flash). I used MS Windows 7 usb flash utility software.

Hello Chaide_W7,

In reference to the issue you are encountering with your install of Windows Developer Preview.

It sounds like your ISO is corrupted or something is wrong with your bootable USB.

For reference you can find information regarding how to make the bootable USB for the Windows Developer Preview at the following link.

Makes sure the ISO file isn’t corrupted by verifying the hash file. You can download the Windows Developer Preview from the following link.
