RE: Install cannot begin, says a driver is missing!!! PS Maybe I should be more clear on where to find your drivers. Look in the
motherboard instalation manual under 'Chipset' and who manufactured them.
Then go on that manuafacturer web site and see if they have new 64 bit
drivers for vista available, download them and burn to CD.
If your DVD reader is not recognised, try swopping it for another one. I had
problem with an LG DVD player, but when I swopped it for a SONY overcame
that hurdle. M.
