hi !

I have installed Ubuntu succesfully on my new PC (as expected) .. But right now i dont have time fixing all my Problems so i tried installing XP which failed with a Bluescreen ..

Now i got Windows Vist x64 and tried to install it but in the Installation Procedure it asks for an CD Driver ...

I wasnt able to find on any ideas ?

Greetings /me

Moved to Windows Discussions :)

You may start with the manufactures website.

They dont have anything .... They just tell you that you dont need a driver ...

Are you sure Windows is asking for a driver for your CD drive? Because optical drives don't need drivers, they are all standard devices.

Have you tried _registering on the samsung site and getting support online (click here)_? I know that may sound a little farfetched, but it'd be worth a try.

Or, have you tried reinstalling the OS using the disk that came with your computer? Or did one not come with it?

As always when windows asks for A it needs C ...

What it really wanted was the SATA driver ...

I unfortunaltly got VIsta too install and after half an hour Vista nobody can tell me Superiority is in the eyes of the user ...

Anyway happy i just re-install ubuntu 8.04 (after finding out i actually have sound here) ... the installation time is about 1 Vista install minute 20 Ubuntu install seconds or so ...

Thanks for helping /me
