Thanks for reply, and good work on your project. I am just beginning to research issues with W7 and the 8th generation Intel B360 chipset regarding USB 3. My motherboard supplier tells me the B360M uses a USB 3.1 Generation 2 USB controller and the W7 Intel release for Win 7 only covers the 200 series of Intel chipsets. The B360 is a 300 series chipset. Still, my USB 3 peripheral card works fine with Win 7, suggesting W7 should be able to drive the B360 USB 3.1 port if it has the right driver. I had been thinking there may be a hardware issue but it seems the only difference between USB 3.1 Gen1 and Gen 2 is the speed. Gen 1 is 5 Gbps and Gen 2 is 10 Gbps. I have not researched this at all, but it has occurred to me that maybe my USB 3 peripheral card drivers and INF file may offer a solution. It's not designed for the B360 chipset but it works. I am studying the W10 DriveStore USB 3.1 drivers and their corresponding INF files to see if I can somehow get the right combo for W7 to create a W7 INF file. Since all my other drivers for W7 work fine with the B360 chipset, I don't see why the USB 3.1 drivers should be that different. I may not be able to get USB 3.1 running at 10 Gbps but I don't care about that. I just want to be able to use my USB ports fro W7 on my mobo.
Your external usb works because it uses different chipset. Most USB 3.x cards use controllers made by Etron Technology, Fresco Logic and Renesas Electronics. Drivers for win7 are available on their websites.
i have lenovo 330-15arr, ryzen 2500u/vega8. im able to boot installation image, do 4 out of 5 installation steps but not finish it, i get blue screen after starting up services. why not copy paste relevant files from 10 to this image?
I prefer to do this in AUDIT mode and sysprep/capture the wim with all pre-installed. For dotnetfx4xx + LP and directx9c, there exist addons for use with other tools.
Hey Enthousiast, I ran the recommended command, but I'm still receiving the same error referenced by that guy. I didn't have these problems before, I'm not sure what changed since the last time I used this. Thanks in advance.
Make sure you don't have any Explorer Windows open showing the directory in question (directly or indirectly). Also, make sure other processes do not try to access it. That's the prime reason for that error message (could not unmount).
in my view intel ich6 driver is the the best candidate for a generic xhci that woud supports xHCI controllers. May be wrong.
So, the Intel specific xHCI USB controller driver should be somehow usable on all vendors of xHCI controllers? So I can force install my Intel driver onto my NEC USB 3.0 controller and it works? It sounds like the ICH6 PCH is a very old chip... like early 2000s old - way before they had xHCI ratified.
