Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Bit Installation Problem

Hi to all..Well I was installing Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Bit today and at the beginning of the installation I have found and error "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, cd dvd or usb flash drive please insert it now" ..So what should I do now..Cuz I have no clue about it..Some one has also referred me to install JMICRON driver for Vista ..But seriously I dont know much about it as am not a pro in hardware..But if someone could help me step by step I will do that hardware thingy for sure as well..

MY HARDWARE:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Intel DG33FB
4x1GB Kingston Rams
Sony DRU840A DVD Writer
XFX Geforce 8500GT 1G

You need to have the drivers for all of the hardware and on mother board
components for your system during install.
You may need a driver for the DVD/CD controller on your motherboard etc.
Go to the motherboard vendors web site and get all the drivers for your
system - as well as any other devices you may have such as graphics cards
etc.

Biggest problem here is "I dont know much about it as am not a pro in
hardware" - maybe you should consider not building your own PCs and
installing operating systems if you are not up to it. A local PC shop may
be happy to install your OS for you (for a fee).

According to Sony, no specific driver is needed.
Do you have any hard drives installed in the machine?
(You didn't provide specs on it/them.)
Sound card?

Recommendations on installing x64: (when you're having a troubled
installation)
(Not all of this is required for everyone. It's just a list of things others
have noted.)
Remove all peripherals from the machine while installing Vista x64.
(Printers, Flash drives, anything USB)
Some have better luck with only 2GB installed during installation.
If your sound card is Creative, remove it until later.
If you have SLI, disable it until later.
If you have IDE and SATA drives, remove all but the hard drive you want to
install Vista onto.
Don't perform updates during the installation.

Once Vista is installed, collect the drivers for any components you will be
adding and install the component and driver. Reboot when requested.
Once all components installed, including memory, get the windows updates.
At this point, if you have SLI, enable it.
Don't forget to set the memory hole remapping feature in your BIOS.
