What happens if you install windows?

during the setup I'm getting told that a driver is missing:

"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB Flash Drive, please insert it now"

this message does not occur when I install this windows on another computer, nor can this ominous driver be found on any disk that I have (windows, rescue disk, linux live cd)
