Maybe I'm a fucking idiot. But here's the deal: I dont't have a disc drive on my newly built computer, so I used an old computer to get the drivers that came with the morherboard onto an usb stick.
But now I'm stuck. I installed windows 7 from a usb no problem, but I cannot get the fucking usb to appear on windows, which makes my computer a fucking vegetable
How the hell do I make my usb ports able to read the data on the usb? I cannot boot from it because it is just exe files and shit. I have my usb shoved into an usb 2 port and it gets recognized in the bios. What to do?

use a linux livecd such as systemrescuecd to boot from usb and copy the drivers to your windows drive

Okay. But won't making the usb bootable will make me unable to put the drivers on there?
>>55389870
no you can make a bootable usb in fat32, simply
add a folder on the usb with the drivers. use rufus to make the bootable usb (pic related)
Strange how USB 2.0 doesn't work. Try both front and back ports. If not maybe you could burn it to the Cd. Or unplug hdd and transfer the USB contents using another computers os as a medium.

Thanks a lot man. I managed to get the drivers onto my main drive. Finally.
One would think setting up computers without optical drives would be easier nowadays.

glad to hear that you got it working

you install windows 10

If you have access to Internet just download the drivers from the mobo's manufacturer website.

This is further evidence that building a PC without an optical drive is a meme.

I built mine without optical. Patched in the usb3 drivers into the ISO, put in usb, installed Windows 7, connected Ethernet, upgraded to 10, then updated all my drivers. Took like 30 minutes.

Eh, I had an old one lying around somewhere. But I couldn't be arsed to dind it and the cord. Plus it would've been a bitch to fit
Get an external CD drive, or check to see if the BIOS has USB options.
