No CD driver when windows tries to install

i'm trying to install win7 using bootcamp on my iMac i purchased this past march. I get to the windows "starting setup" screen and then it wants me to install a driver for my disc drive. i know for a fact that windows has packaged generic CD drivers with their operating systems at least since XP if not win98 with the basic coding to allow reading disc. i cannot seem to find any solution to this problem. if someone knows of a solution i would greatly appriciate any help i could recieve

Similar error here..
I am booting up my system for the first time. It boots up past the Platinum screen, But then it gives me the following errors:
For Realtek RTL8110S/8169S Gigabit Ethernet Controller beta v 1.00 (030811)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
His fix was..
lol... I'll go ahead and tell you. I was getting all those weird errors.... saying files were corrupt and such. I noticed that in the bios it was reading my CD-RW drive as Slave and wasn't recognizing my DVD drive at all. So... I put the jumper for the DVD Drive on Master.... popped in the Windows XP CD and everything worked fine.
It's a long shot, but looks like he had a jumper wrong, and it fooled the BIOS into booting from a network.
Sounds to me like something is fooling yours.
You can get that error with RIS, but XP doesn't have RIS as such.
GUID FFFF....FFFF (whole lot of Fs) is the GUID of your firewire.
Like a NIC has a MAC address, a firewire port has a GUID. (lots of digits, more than a MAC)

When i tried to install the MAC OS, it identifies a hard drive with 3.6 TB and i'm not able to do the installation. I touhgt the new ard drive was bad but i was able to install windows XP. Any ideas what do i have to do?

Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.

When am trying to install Windows server 2008 OS. Error msg was coming 0x80070070:"not having enough space for installation"..Even though i have 20GB space?..Pls resolve this issue earliest.

Hi Guys
I have an issue please help on that earliest.

Is this a clean install or an upgrade? 20 GB, though greater than the minimum, is pretty minimal. How much memory do you have on the system? 2008 would try to create a page file of 1.5x physical memory, so if you are building on a large
memory system, you could be having an issue there.

The icloudsetup.exe failed when I tried to install it on windows 7

I am trying to install the iCloud so I can use Find My IPad on my PC. The icloudsetup.exe failed when I tried to install it on my Dell Windows 7 PC. Error message is "a program required for this install to complete could not be run". It says I need Windows 7, IE 9, and Outlook or some other mail program for the install. I do not have Outlook installed but use WindowsLiveMail for my email program. Does anyone know if this is my problem?

I bought a mac companion for my desktop mac running os x but received the following error message when I tried to install the quikprotect software download: "power pc no longer supported." I did not read that anywhere when investigating. What gives?

PPC, also known as PowerPC has not existed on Macs since the beginning of 2006. Apple made a bridge software and included it with Mac OSes until 10.6.8 known as Rosetta that would allow you to run software written for the PowerPC Macs. 10.7 and later can't run that bridge software. You have one of several options:
Install 10.6 retail on a USB Flash drive, and run that application while booted from there.
Find an update designed for 10.7 or later of the software.
Find a combination of Virtualbox or Paralllels that can legally run a version of 10.6 side by side with your 10.7 software.
Run Windows on your Mac with Virtualbox or use CrossOver that requires no Windows to run a Windows version of your application.
Your Mac is an iMac Intel. I will ask a moderator redirect your thread to the 10.7 forum, and no action is needed on your part.

If you can't install Windows 7 or higher or get a new computer with Windows 7 or higher, you won't be able to run Photoshop Elements 13.

Windows trying to install drivers for iPod...

So here's my problem. Whenever I try to connect my girlfriend's iPod, Windows XP trys to recognize a new device and the driver installation wizard pops up.
I get a popup on the taskbar and Windows tries to install a driver for the iPod. If I cancel the installation it tells me the installation failed and there may be a problem with the device. The same thing happens if I allow the installation to continue as Windows in unable to find the correct driver.
The iPod shows up in Device Manager with an exclamation point. It does not appear in Windows Explorer or iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have tried the 5R's to no effect. I have tried everything I can find in the support articles relating to iPods not being recognized in Windows or iTunes.

ipods use the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers. it is possible for those to go walkabout on a PC ... if that's what is happening here, the techniques from the following MarkJones post may be of some assistance:

My OS is Windows XP Professional with SP3. However, I managed to install this version on a virtual machine (which also runs Windows XP SP3) therefore the problem does not come from the installer.
What can I do now to install Maple 12? I really need this software...
Thanks!

Did you find the solution for this problem? I am experiencing the same behavior trying to run Freemind.

Do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

Microsoft Security Essentials is free and decent, don't beg you for cash.
Just keep Windows updated and don't use it online for anything except for updates if you can all help it.
Use OS X to go online and grab files, clean them using the free ClamXav before passing them onto the Windows side.
When you first setup Windows and have it updated, use the free WinClone to copy the Bootcamp partition to a external drive for safekeepiing.

There was an error when I tried to install OS X Lion online. What can I do to fixed the problem?

There was an error when I tried to install OS X Lion after I purchased the os online. How do I fixed it?

Had the same problem. All I did was click retry, (nothing happened at first so had a panic attack) so I checked my email and found I'd payed for Lion, also the Lion App in the app Store had gone back to the purchace price. However after reaching for a brown paper bag to try and stop myself hyperventilating, Lion suddenly appeared and said it was installing. 33 minutes later it was up and running 'Job done'

Windows tries to install Labview Run-Time Engine 7.0...

I recently installed an application that installed Labview CVI Runtime engine. Anyway, ever since that time, everytime I start Labview, Windows tries to install Labview Runtime engine 7.0. It asks for a lvruntimeeng.msi file. I tried pointing it to one that I had on my system, but I think it was not version 7.0 because I got a message saying it was invalid. Anyway, I don't know why it's doing this to me, but I can't do anything to stop it, so I'm just trying to give it what it is asking for. I've searched the net for lvruntimeeng.msi files, but everytime I point it to such a file, Windows says it's invalid. I've only found a .exe file for version 7.0. Has anybody ever run across this problem. Or....does anybody have NI Labview Runtime Engine v7.0 in a .msi file?

I don't know why this is happening. The exe you have is from drivers and updates. Download this file and run it. It is an selfextracting archive which will start the setup for the runtime engine. After you have installed the 7.0 runtime engine in this way LV shouldn't ask about it.
The one thing I can imagine isr that the installed application changed a common component, e. g. Data socket, into an older version. A repair installation of your LV may also help you.
