    Hello,

    I am trying to install Windows 7 in Parallels (Build 5.0.9130) but the installation process stops and tells me I need a DVD device driver to continue the install.

    Well I am installing this Virtual Machine on a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    Model Name: Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MM31.0

    The DVD drive is a PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTS08

    I can't find a driver for this drive. I have an XP virtual machine that works just fine, so I am a bit stuck. I can't install Windows 7 until I get a driver.

    Any ideas? Regards, Anil K Solanki
