Windows 7 installation – CD\DVD driver issue on laptop

driversinstallationoptical-drivewindows 7

I'm installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit from an MSDN download onto a new Dell Studio 1558 laptop.
Right after clicking "Install Now" I get the following message in a window titled Load Driver:

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.

I went to Dell support and tried to download a driver, but all I found was a firmware upgrade executable for DOS and for Windows.

How can I overcome this problem? I'm not even sure which driver model I have inside the laptop…

I have seen this before, most of the time it is a corrupt download or corrupt burn job, retry the download and burn it at a slow speed.

If this does not work the suggestion by Shinrai will get it installed. (Install from USB drive)
