The fact that you're now using a wireless device should not make any difference. When you're using this disc, does it actually proceed with the install and then fail at detecting the scanner? Or does the installer never actually run?

If the installer runs, but fails to detect, it is possible that your scanner has failed and may need to be replaced.

If the installer does not run, you can try to find the drivers from Packard Bell's support site. This way you can download the most recent drivers and avoid using a potentially bad disc.
