    Hi everybody,

    So my girlfriend's laptop became overrun with malware and such, and I decided to do a fresh install of Windows. I wiped the hard drive and during installation it tells me that a required CD/DVD driver is missing. Is this a fault of the Windows install itself or did I happen to delete the driver when I wiped the hard drive? If it's the latter, where would I be able to find something like that nowadays?

    Thanks in advance!

    It is SP1, does this make a difference?
