Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

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)

"OSXRESERVED" is no problem. BCA works fine. All partitions are there. Drivers are downloaded and stored on that temporary partition as well. The error appears when the Windows Installer is about to start.


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.

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.

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.


It's nice you are trying to help but clearly you don't know much more about this specific problem as we do. I hope someone who experienced this as well and found a solution will jump in.


Btw. I tried to install Windows from a USB drive as well now (created with the MS Media Creation Tool). It's a little different and might hint at what's missing. With the USB drive the setup goes a little further until you can select the partition you'd like to install Windows on. But it won't show any partitions nor any hard drives there. I'm on a 2015 MacBook Air so my suspicion is that the driver for the built-in flash drive is missing. It won't load any drivers from the downloaded bootcamp driver package either.

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!
