Windows 10 installation failure due to missing driver


I once installed windows 10 from USB that I had. Then for a reason, I need a clean install of it. Now when I'm using the USB I'm getting a response saying "A media driver your computer needs is missing. This coould be a DVD, USB or Hard Disk driver. If ou have a CD/DVD or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now."

It's an ASUS X555LA-XX688D laptop

What is causing this issue and how do I resolve this?


Answer



I was having the same problem a few times while installing Windows 10 on different machine, but today I found a solution that I could test and confirm several times.


In my case:



  • I hit Cancel on this dialog

  • removed pendrive

  • canceled installation (return to 'Install now' screen)

  • installed pendrive in the other USB port

  • clicked 'Install now' button


The screen didn't appear now and installation runs perfectly (well, almost, but that's a different story).


I hope you can confirm that it worked for you as well.
