Loading ...Installing Windows 7 using unsigned drivers
With Win 7, Microsoft removed some very important drivers that were present in the Vista installation driver kit, including drivers from well-known workstation SCSI controllers.
If you have 15k RPM SCSI drives that you still want to use with an older controller, you can’t with Windows 7.
Installing Windows 7 on older SCSI controllers will fail because the controllers will not be detected and setup cannot find your SCSI HDDs.

Here’s how to install Windows 7 using unsigned drivers:
1. Copy your unsigned driver to FDD, USB stick or other media (you will probably need only one .inf and a .sys file).
2. Start Windows 7 setup. At this point, if you choose ‘Install’, your HDD controllers won’t be detected if not supported by W7. So don’t do that.
3. Click ‘Repair’.
4. Wait for the pseudo-scanner to finish.
5. Click load driver.
6. Point to your unsigned driver (the .inf file) you previously copied to FDD/USB stick.
7. Wait again for the pseudo-scanner to finish.
8. Click the ‘x’ in the corner to close the repair mode.
9. Click ‘Install’ to start the installation.
10. Now your SCSI controllers and SCSI HDDs will be detected and there will be no warning of unsigned drivers.
Everything should proceed just fine from this point forward.
