installation - Required CD/DVD device driver missing while installing WIndows 7


I am trying to install Windows 7 and get this error:



A required CD/DVD drive device driver
is missing. If you have a driver
floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash
drive, please insert it now.


Note: If the Windows installation
media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can
safely remove it for this step.



It is booting off the dvd to get this far in the install. Any ideas?


Answer



Fixed it...


I had a DVD drive connected with an ide cable which was configured as master. The main hard disk was connected with a sata cable.


I changed the DVD drive from Master to Slave with the jumper setting and Windows installed with no more problems.
