CD/DVD device driver not found during Setup

I may have found an incompatibility between Vista Beta 2 and the NEC DV-5500a
DVD-ROM drive.

After booting from the DVD, the next screen after clicking Install Now is an
error saying something like, "CD/DVD drive device driver not found. Please
insert CD, DVD, USB drive, etc. containing the necessary driver files. It's
OK to take the Vista DVD out for this step." I don't have a driver disk for
this drive, so I can't get past this dialog.

Of course, the drive is fine since Setup can get this far. I was able to
work around this by swapping it for a more recent drive.

An earlier CTP had no issue with this drive.

Thanks.
