Product: HP elite desk 800 G2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I'm trying to install Windows 7 64bit on a HP elite Desk 800 G2.

I'm installing the OS on an empty hard drive.

I'm installing from the CD-rom drive.

Windows starts installing the OS but it asks for a device driver for the CD/dvd writer.

All I can find here are .exe files and not a simple device driver.

I've used 7zip to get the device driver out of the .exe file, but none of them seem to be the right one.

Can anybody help me get that driver or how to proceed?
