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

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) (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/repaironline/supportOnlineServiceRequest.do)? 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
