Except that the driver she has was provided by the maker of the CDROM drive she's installing, and should have just as good or better a chance of detecting the CDROM drive than that "universal" driver. That, or the driver she has is the same as yours but the filename has been changed. That, and she doesn't have to give up her privacy, or risk getting a trojan. Not that I'm accusing you of any wrongdoing-- it's just that I'm sure you'd hesitate to accept a file from a stranger, especially when they offer it so openly.

Buzzygirl: What specific errors are you getting when booting? Perhaps it's a simple misconfiguration. Some of those CDROM installation programs ask questions about the hardware, like which IDE port you are connecting the CDROM drive to, for example. Surely we can get this to work!
