    Remove a driver I installed in error?


    I had a slight brain fart earlier today and installed a driver (via the .inf file) for which I don't have the matching hardware.

    How do I get rid of it properly? As the device was never present (and can't be as I have no PCI-X slots) it doesn't show up in device manager ...

    Thanks
    David

    Error when installing Win7

    when Installing Windows 7 I get an error saying ""A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: If the windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step." What should I do to get Windows to install?
