Butt Wizard: Nov 3, 2005; It was a pornography store. I was buying pornography.

Just installed, can't find my CD drive, not listed in device manager either. The Asus CD that came with the computer keeps telling me it will only work with Vista. Bugger.

Well , you could open it up and look what it says on the mainboard. Or you just do what I did: find the driver setup you're looking for (LAN I guess) on the cd, copy the folder somewhere on your HDD and run the .exe in Vista compatibility mode

...except the CD drive wasn't being recognised, so pulling drivers off CDs wasn't going to happen. Fixed it by pullng the CD/DVD drive out of the boot order, and then putting it back in. Seemed to work. Now just a matter of getting the setup files off it and running them from the hard drive, seems to be working so far.
