    Hi guys, sorry it's my first time posting so forgive me for any mistake I may have done already.

    I was wondering if anyone can help me with a clean install of Windows 7 on my VGN-CS36GJ. The thing is whenever I boot up the installation I get this error saying something like "CD/DVD device driver cannot be found" or something like that. It's pretty much saying that it can't find the device driver for the DVD drive that I just loaded it out of.

    I'll greatly appreciate it if someone can directly help me with this or point me to the right direction on how I can solve this problem. Thanks guys.

    Again, I own a VGN-CS36GJ and my Windows 7 Professional x64 installer is the public release downloaded from MSDN Academic Alliance program (I'm a student).
