    I've managed to replace my hdd with ocz agility 3 but when i'm trying to install windows 7 i get a weird error

    A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver ...,please insert it now.

    Anyone can help??

    There seems that our friend @ MS have some minor bugs..

    I"m using usb after 4 hours managed to find a solution..

    You should always have 1rst boot device hdd and of course prefer usb 2.0 insted of usb 3.0 because some of the drivers are not loaded!!!!
