Thanks for helping in advance. I'll try to be short and to the point here. I'm installing Vista 64 fresh on a new built machine but get stuck durring the install when it prompts me and says that "CD/DVD drivers are missing". The following is my setup:

Asus P5K Deluxe (latest bios)

e6750 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo

dual channel OCZ RAM (2 GB)

ATI Radeon 2600 XT (HIS overclocked model)

Pioneer 112D DVD (IDE)

500 GB Seagate 7200.10 (SATA)


I have tried using 2 other DVD drives, and switching it from primary to secondary ... no luck there. The DVD and HD are recognizing when I am supposed to browse for drivers so they can be seen by the system. I've also tried downloading updated drivers for my mobo but it still isn't working. I'm at a loss now. Any thoughts on what this might be? Any help would be very much appreciated!

-Rob

After reading your explanation, I couldn't think of any obvious thing that would cause this, so I did some research. This appears to have been a common problem with VMWare, and although you are dealing with a real install I looked into that issue as it is identical. Apparently the issue (at least in the VM case) involves Vista seeing the drive fine originally, but thinks you have a 2nd drive during the install that doesn't exist physically (similar to code 41 error).

I added that knowledge back into the search and found some people had success with using older DVD drives. You said you tried other drives but you didn't mention brand/age. The more general solutions involved SATA drives (at least one of yours, the first, is IDE), already-installed Vista (filter issue), or the media itself - either a bad commercial DVD, or a poorly burned backup (possibility).

The only thing I've turned up so far, otherwise, is related to an Intel driver, with the full solution listed here:

I'll keep looking later and update on this thread if I find more solutions.
