    trying to install ms win8 x64 downloaded from technet (NOT THE RELEASE PREVIEW). I can mount image, get to the setup screen, "(1) collecting information" then this error:

    "no device drivers were found. make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click ok"

    installing on macbook pro retina, latest mac os. no idea what drivers win8 wants/needs. tried express and express off with same result.

    any thoughts appreciated

    You can verify downloaded ISO image using md5sum for example.
    Looks like ISO image truncated.

    How do verify?

    MMika,

    How do you verify the downloaded ISO image, and how do I make the installation program continue if it continues to say that the drivers can't be found? I'm having the same issue, I think.
    Parallels Wizard is asking me to select the driver to install, and then gives me a limited "Browse for Folder" option, where if I knew where to look, I could find it, but I can't just search for a file (assuming I'd know what to search for anyway). What am I looking for?

    Response?

    Did anyone get a response or solve the issue for "Select the driver to install"?

    Thanks!
