This error comes up while installing Windows 7 on a SATA RAID drive. Set up doesn’t recognize the SATA controller. You can try this:
1. Load the RAID driver from CD. (Vista driver will work)
2. Install the driver and create partitions.
3. Remove the driver CD and insert the Windows 7 DVD.
4. Click on Refresh and the error should disappear.

When you try to install windows 7 on a fresh machine you get this pop up which says “Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart in the installation. Error code: 0x8007045D” and installation get failed.
This is usually indicate that the installation media is corrupt .
You ca try these things to resolve the issue:
- Create / re-burn a new media at a very slow rate
- use the best media that you can find
- avoid ISO mounting utilities that mount the image as a removable drive (to avoid CRC errors)
- replace the DVD drive ( rare)
This error usually comes when there is some issue in hard disk or disk controller. People are reporting other factors as well..go to this TechNet page for more details.
When taking backup on external drives you may come across this error. Here are the two probable solutions:
1.emove and reconnect all drives
2.For every user on your machine,
- Login as the user
- Run -> regedit.exe
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
- Observe the value of Appdata and LocalAppdata.
If it has an empty value or a value of the type %Appdata%, this is the culprit. Can you verify that this is the case with your machine?
If so, the workaround is the following:
a. Open a command prompt
b. Type set Appdata / LocalAppdata depending on which registry entry has the
wrong value. If Appdata is wrong, type set Appdata and if Local Appdata is wrong, type set LocalAppdata.
c. Copy the value after the = sign. Example if the output is: APPDATA=C:\Users\John\Appdata\Roaming, copy the value C:\Users\John\Appdata\Roaming
d. Paste the value in the wrong registry value. Either replace the %<<<>>>% value or fill the empty value.
Run backup again. It should succeed.
This error can occur if you have installed incorrect driver. You can check the solutions in the following threads:
