Alright, let us know how the install goes when you get there. Good luck!

Ok, might be on something here. I burned the OS to a dvd and started it....
I got an error message like the image I have attached. Says "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing.
That means the driver for my cd/dvd rom is not working as it should, right? Maybe thats the reason my copy of the OS got corrupted.

I might need some help updating this driver. When I go into the device, I dont have a choice to update the driver. Its greyed out. I found out the driver is located here though: C:/Windows/system32/DRIVERS/cdrom.sys

Now when I found this out, I remember the cd rom was sooo slow to start the install on both this new disk and the old one...

How can I update this?

Worth a try eh? :)

Are you currently doing a repair or clean install (so I know which steps to find/give)?

Clean install with the file you gave me. Its a US version, but I dont care :) But if we fix this issue it might be a solution to use my original dvd then?

Ok, it says there he downloaded the ISO file and burned to a cd/dvd (just like I did) It was when I put the dvd in the player and rebooted from that I got that message. It was into the installation for OS..

So guess I get the same message again when I try with the dvd...

Or did I miss the point here? hehe :)

Did you verify the image when you first burnt it? See my pervious post as I edited a few things.

Yes, I used the verify option. But I will try again on a new disc :)
