I am trying to install Beta 2 (32 bit) on a Dell Latitude C400 (with 60BG
HDD, 1GB RAM) and I am getting the following warning/error and can’t proceed
further. The dell C400 is running XP.

## Start warning/error
You must make the following changes before installing Windows
Close Windows installation and contact the device manufacturer for updated
driver software for these devices:
ATAPI CD-ROM Interface Card
## End warning/error

Is there a workaround? Where can I download the driver? I tried a few web
sites for the driver but with no luck. Getting the same error about "ATAPI
CD-ROM Interface Card".

Help will be appreciated.

I could not find a Vista compatible driver on the Dell site. It may be that
your computer is not Vista compatible.
 
Hi Colin,

Thanks for the reply.

All vista requirements (as per the advisor) are met except the driver for
ATAPI CD-ROM Interface Card.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. You can install with the
..iso image by using a virtual cd program like Alchol 120. If Vista does not
have a driver you still will not be able to use the optical drive. I take
it your device is an external housing with a special connector on the
laptop?
