"Insert Windows Installation CD" Hell -- Help, Please!

finger to keyboard and composed:

OK, so...did I accidentally solve this problem, or what? Either
way, someone please explain the outcome! :

I've been having trouble getting a USB 2.0 upgrade card installed,
but I go through the same problem every time I try to install any
new hardware on my Win98SE box that I have to use to support a
legacy outboard device. I try to add some new card, but during
install it always asks for the Windows installation CD, then it
can never find what it's looking for. I've replaced my old
Win98SE installation CD, which did show read problems on some CD-
ROMs, with a good backup copy from a friend. No difference in
outomes.

The original installation may have specified a drive letter such as R:
for the CD-ROM. If so, then Browse to the correct drive and directory.
Alternatively, try the Windows\System or Windows\System32\Drivers
directory on your hard drive. The required files may already be there.
