It was confusing though, as the error states the CDROM device driver is the issue, while it was in fact the controller the drive was connected to.

I work with HP and recently experienced the same issue when providing support to a woman that was getting the same error. She was attempting to install Windows 7 64 bit, but she had a 32 bit processor...it cannot be done. run the Windows 7 advisor it does help.

There is no such thing as "x32". x86, x64, etc. are processor architectures; not necessarily a measurement of how many bits wide the interface is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit x86 is 32-bit.

The curios thing is that I allready managed to successfully install from the same DVD in another HP notebook (mine is a Dell E1520). I guess I'll try to install the x86 version and sees what happens.
