Problem with Universal Restore Lenovo M77
Am trying to restore to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M77 (2227-A5U). When I try to restore I get the "Device Driver for PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4390&SUBSYS_308217AA&REV_40" cannot be found.
I have downloaded all the drivers from the Lenovo web site for this and then put them on a flash drive and pointed to it during recovery. I have tried exporting the drivers using DriverBackup and then using a flash drive to do the same. I cannot seem to get this to work no matter what. It appears to be a SATA driver for the machine...but even when I put it in the root drive of a flash drive it does not work.
Help?

Yes...I have the premium version. That is not the issue. Thanks.

I have a Lenovo M82. Right after I got it I erased the hard drive, getting rid of bloatware and the unwanted Lenovo software, and installed all of the software myself, starting with a Microsoft Win 7 Pro re-install disk. Anyway, to help obtain a few missing drivers and get updates (Lenovo support told me to never install a driver from Windows updates), I installed the Lenovo Updater software. See screen capture. It did correctly identify the missing drivers and downloaded them for me. You could give that a try. But if you have a corrupt driver, it might think you don't need it. I also found the Intel driver updater scanner software worked very well, in the event your missing driver is from Intel. Good luck!!!

Adding to what I wrote previously, is it that before trying to restore, you have a yellow icon in the device manager, indicating a missing or corrupt driver? Attached is what mine looks like for the M82 with Win 7 Pro.
