Q: No drivers were found

I was installing Windows 10 via BootCamp with no USB

It said "No drivers were found" when I clicked on Install Now in Windows Setup

I've tried Rescan, plug a USB in but nothing happen.

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    Ok I take my last comment back. You do know a think or two about this one

     

    It's indeed the SSD driver. Not sure if it is somewhere on the temporary partition - I just downloaded the package separately and put it on another USB drive. It was then located at: WindowsSupport -> $WinPEDriver$ -> AppleSSD64 -> AppleSSD.sys

     

    Thanks a ton!

    No this is some pic from the internet that was just suppose to show at which step this happens. Because you were always thinking of OS X problems or BCA errors. It does in fact look like the image from TL1012.

    A random picture from the internet is supposed to help solve your specific problem? Post a screen shot of the exact error message.

    Is this is the exact image? OP has a different screen image of the error. There are two separate unrelated problems. In your specific case, The downloaded ISO is corrupt. Please verify the checksums.

    Did you understand this part at all, instead of making assumptions? If you describe a pain in the chest as a pain in the knees, are you expecting someone else to play twenty questions with you? Be precise on what you need.

    Does the AppleSSD.sys work and get you further in the installation?

    Yes that's what I was trying to say. The SSD driver is indeed the missing driver. Once the driver loads it's all buttery smooth. Almost too smooth for a Windows installation

    Can you show me specifically how to do that?

    Yes! I have exactly that problem

    No. You have a completely different issue. The CD/DVD error is not the same as the "No drivers found" error. Exact error messages can help narrow down the problems much quicker. When you see this error message, click OK, select Browse, select your USB -> Bootcamp -> Drivers -> Apple -> AppleSSD.sys. This may also exist in $WinPEDriver$ folder. Please verify and choose the correct location.

    This is because Apple chose a SCSI interface for the 2015 MBAs not the standard PCIe/SATA interface.

    You can still get the drivers yourself and put them on a USB drive manually. This image from Loner T shows how.

    Download the BC drivers to a USB flash drive using

    When you see the error, connect the USB and locate AppleSSD.sys and follow the steps as I have posted.
