Not able to install windows 8

wants dual booting with windows 8 developers edition 32bit on separete empty hdd partition, my oem is windows7 64 bit ,

on booting with windows 8 dvd ,then clicking on install now option it gives msg to load drivers the detailed msg is: A eequired cd/dvd drive device is missing . if u have a driver floppy disk,cd/dvd,usb flash drive,please insert it now.

on direct opening winows 8 dvd source files and then running setup , it gives an error -shown below

actually the problem is that i m having 32bit windows8 developers edition iso, so a 32bit windows can be run on a processor of 64bit ????, , or for running 32bit OS the processor should be of 32bit only ,!!!????

i m able to install linux mint of 32bit, but on booting and after selecting linux, nothing appears (black screen remains), ??

so i m confused in 32bit and 64bit OS and their compability with processors of 32bit and 64bit !!!!!!!!!!

Hi again Prateek -

The error is almost always a bad installer.

Download the ISO again and burn to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed.
