finding drivers for Window2s 7

Post by Ray Bowler »

I am running an iMac with OS 10.9 installed. I have installed Vurtual Box following suggested settings. With VB running I go to Settings > storage and select the CD image under IDE Controller and make sure that IDE Secondary is selected. I then insert the Windows 7 64 bit installer and select install now. A screen comes up asking to select a driver. I cannot find a driver. Any suggestions/

In most cases this "missing driver" error is a sign for a broken Windows DVD download.
Please check if your DVD was created correctly.

Thanks. In my case it was solved by switching to an external DVD player. I have had some trouble with the internal before.
