Missing DVD drivers

I bought Windows Vista Ultimate (on DVD) to install on a new PC. It is an
Asus M2R32-MVP mobo + AMD X2 4600+ plus a Lite-On SATA DVD . The DVD boots
and I go thru the install supplying my location, keyboard type etc. Suddenly
it stops and says that CD / DVD drivers are missing. There is a browse
button, but the DVD device is not shown. Now vista obviously knows about the
device as it just booted from it and copied files from the DVD to the hard
disk. I cannot access the DVD to find any motherboard / DVD drivers.

How do I proceed from here?
 
You have a DVD SATA............try loading the SATA controller drivers frm
your mobo CD.

Easier than it sounds... since I cannot access the DVD at this stage. I'm in
that loop that I need tro access the DVD to access the drivers to access the
DVD .. and so ad infinitum

I feel your pain :o( I have a beloved asus mobo which is several years
old now, but was hell-on-earth when I first bought it because of poor
driver support. My impression is that asus is usually on the bleeding
edge with hardware, and thus it is unwise to try new software on a new
asus mobo.

Any opinions to the contrary welcomed! (With supporting evidence....)
 
To get past this problem I de-installed the SATA DVD drive, and added an old
dvd reader. This got me past that problem - only as far as another, but
that's another post.
 
I was going to suggest the MOBO website.....download the drivers and install
from the HD.
but I see that you found a way around it.
