Installer asking for drivers

Just downed the ISO. I do like to know the original MD5 for it/ Just to be on
the safe side :)

Installing it on Asus A7V8X with AMD Sempron 3000+ with 512M and 120G Sata
disk. Also has additional SoundBlaster 16 (onboard audio is defective).

For some weird reason, the setup suddenly asks me to insert a drivers disk.
It (a) doesn't tell me WHICH driver, and (b) I can't continue for there is no
cancel button.

What do I need to do in order to continue the setup?
 
Relax,
Have you disconnected all peripherals except keyboard, mouse and display
screen?

Yup, I have even removed the sb16, disabled onboard FireWire/USB/Network,
but still asking for it...
If setup would only TELL us WHAT is was looking for... ;)
 
Yow,

Found the answer in the post titled: 'CD/DVD device driver not found during
Setup'
Seems that not only a NEC-5500 but alsy my NEC-5700 doesn't work ?!? :(

Found another DVD drive, and setup now continues to the product key screen...

This kinda sucks of course ;)

I'm having the same problem with my NEC DV-5700a and a newer Sony DVD.

I've been searching through all the posts around here, and see some other
recommendations for things to try, but I can't get past that driver screen.
I've also looked all over the NEC website, but there is no driver for this
drive, and they state that one is not needed for XP (duh).

The one thing I haven't seen anyone address is where I might find some kind
of "generic" driver to put on a floppy for this step of the Vista install. I
noticed that the driver for the NEC DVD in XP is just a generic Microsoft
driver. Where could I get an "installable" version of this driver?
Shouldn't that work?

Thanks
