I'm having a SERIOUSLY frustrating yet possibly simple issue. I bought a used Compaq Presario CQ61-411wm laptop. It originally had Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate shortly after and didn't realize my mistake (that it was the 32 bit version of Ultimate) until it was too late. Now that I've FINALLY got a copy of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit I get the error message "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing".
I don't have a USB flash drive nor does my laptop have an SD card reader. Can someone PLEASE HELP me find a simple way to fix this! I don't mind losing my data because I backed it up on external hard drive, but I get this error and I'm trying to do a clean install. I've Googled for that particular driver and it takes me to those automatic driver finders which I don't need because 1 don't trust them and 2 my laptop works, I just need that ONE driver downloaded! It gives me the option to manually browse for it so I believe if I put it in My Documents and clicked it would begin the installation.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP!
