Windows Tablets

I'm trying to reinstall Windows 8.1 Pro on my W3-810 using a flash drive, but during the installation Windows keeps saying that I can't continue without device drivers. I've downloaded the Others_Acer_2.00_W8x86W81x86_A folder and moved them onto a separate flash drive, yet when scanning the folders, the installation says that there are no drivers to be found. I've tried going to the command prompt under "repair your machine", running the Setup.exe, yet that gives me an error too.

I've also tried using Windows 8 with an external CDROM drive, which also gives me the same error. Neither Windows 8.1 nor Windows 8 (both 32-bit) will install without these 'drivers.' I've followed [this guide] and am getting stuck on step 6. Anyone seen this?

Using a different Windows 8 32-bit disc in a USB-powered disc drive worked out well. USB flash drives did NOT want to work for me.

Problem solved.
