I'm trying to load windows 7 on my brand new Acer Aspire One netbook. I made my USB key bootable etc. and windows begins to load from it. During the first stage of the install, it stops and says it can't find a required CD/DVD driver, there isn't one on the machine. The bios shows an IDE CD, but i can't disable it. I'm not sure what driver it's looking for or why, but i can't get past it.
Acer Aspire One netbook, 2gb ram, 250gb drive.
Current OS: Vista
Installing: Windows 7
Any help would be appreciated!

I just looked at several guides describing the process and none make any reference to changing the installation files (to redirect it to a USB stick) or changing any settings (except booting from USB).
Therefore I'd go with ifferte's suggestion and either download it again unless you are sure the image worked on another pc. In that case I would reformat the USB stick and try the copying of the files again.
Check this guide from MaximumPC just to be sure
