Okay guys, time for some serious technical help.

While in the initial stages of installation, a box pops up which says:

"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."

It then gives me the option of browsing through my computer for whatever it is that it's looking for.

I googled "windows 7 required cd/dvd drive device driver missing" and a TON of stuff came up. It looks like there isn't a single fix but that for many it has to do with sata and IDE stuff. I'm a bit lost and have no idea where to start...

Not bad at all. Installed Win7 just now, it's smooth as hell. Got Visual Studio too.
About time CS majors got some perks.

You can get an ACM membership for $20, and it comes with 4 keys. I think you have to have a college email address though...

Good find. My school is on the list. From being in the beta, I really like Windows 7.

are you sure it comes with 4 keys? if you look at the sick deals forum (link in OP) it says "DO NOT PM ME FOR A LOGIN OR KEY!!! Each login only gets one key per software title - therefore you can't just simply use my login." at the very top.

I could really use a copy for work (I'm a contractor so boss isn't going to pay for it). If anyone wants to hook me up, I'd appreciate it infinitely

right so there are actually separate keys for the different versions of Windows 7... like there's a key for 32-bit version, and another key for 64-bit version. Depending on which program you're under, you may also get more options, like under the MSDNAA for IEEE, there's a French version of Windows 7 which has it's own key (which you can use for your regular English copy iirc)

So math majors get the software, but econ majors don't? Come on...(though, I am trying to avoid math-intesive courses like the plague at the moment ). :[.
Guess I'll trick my roommates who are engineering majors to sign up for this for me .
