Try this driver - the Broadcom chipset driver is kind of an oddball device:

I'm moving your post to the server forums. Next time post there if you have a question about a server.

Hi Oldsalesman,
There is no driver needed for any optical drive other than the generic driver. If you are getting an error while trying to install Windows about a missing CD/DVD device driver, that indicates your install disc is bad. See if this article is helpful. It commonly happens when burning the install disc from an ISO.
