You probably won't be able to download them because your ethernet may not work without the new driver.

But how will you install those new drivers?

#Usb image tool not working drivers

If you connect your old install/drive to the new board and boot it, usually Windows will attempt to install the drivers needed by the new board. The concern is that neither USB 3.0 or 2.0 will work for you because you won't have the drivers required by your new hardware. You will just be using whatever method that manufacturer came up with to work around this problem.ĪLL the motherboards for Skylake will have to deal with this 'problem' installing Windows 7 because the reason for the problem is Intel changed their hardware which you have to use to make a Skylake motherboard. If you want to return and exchange your motherboard for another brand, you will still have to deal with this.

So, it was left to the motherboard makers to figure out how to cope with this situation. well apparently we were all supposed to have stopped using Windows 7. Windows 8 and later already include the XHCI drivers, but Windows 7. Suddenly, only 8 years after XHCI replaced EHCI, Intel has decided to get rid of the EHCI controller in their hardware.Īt this point, Microsoft possibly could have release better tools to help with a Windows 7 install. Up until now, any motherboard you bought had either an EHCI controller or both an EHCI and XHCI controller. When USB 3.0 was introduced (in 2008?) another controller was added, the XHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface). When the windows 7 install media was created, the only USB controller to deal with was EHCI. Here's a link to an article in January 2015 warning about this 'upcoming' change. Intel no longer includes the hardware for an USB EHCI controller in their 100 series chipsets for Skylake. This change was 'forced' on Gigabyte and all the other motherboard makers. The assumption seems to be that this difficulty installing Windows 7 is a result of a change Gigabyte made. This took me over 20 hours to just to get windows installed, with NO help from GigaByte. I am a 3rd line Hardware Systems Engineer with over 25 years experience and have never seen this before. hit the 'rescan' button and the installation continues Wait for the USB drive to be found by the system (60 seconds or so) plug the USB stick into a DIFFERENT USB port click next/continue, the installation wizard will run through until a pop up saying something like 'missing driver' once into the setup and have a mouse pointer, before clicking anything, remove the USB drive from the computer.

boot from the windows 10 (or windows 7, both have the same issue) USB stick.

I used vLite to integrate the HP NVMe driver and GigaByte util to add the USB drivers to the USB stick The issue also occurs for me with JUST a SATA 500Gb HDD, so not a driver/NVMe issue I wish I could run my IT support company like that!! GigaByte Support ticket, 7 day response time that didnt help!! Trying to install windows 10, receive a message saying something like 'missing driver' GA-Z170X-UD3 (and other Z170 motherboards) but the lack of working USB thumb drive booting, and the video/USB 3 drive issue is the worst. How about the USB 3 that makes the screen turn black (not off) until you unplug any external drives. Should I even mention the fact it ships with an Intel driver that has a warning that it is only ALPHA/BETA level software with no guaranty to work? F That! Next board will be DFI or MSI, anything but Gigabyte.

WTF did i buy a new machine for if it doesn't support commonly used features it is listed as supporting? I ended up burning a DVD to install my OS, but when my new SSD comes I will be unable to use this WONDERFUL NEW motherboard to clone the current drive with. I can see and select the thumb drives when i press F12, but none of them boot on this board. Everything from an old HP Compaq dc7100 Small Form Factor PC with a Core2Duo, to my HP Pavilion 500-023w with a newer Haswell CPU, and both laptops I have all Boot of USB drives with no fuss. I bought an H110M-S2HP and no settings in the BIOS will allow ANY USB flash drive to boot, even ones already working to run Live Linux disrtos on several other computers.
