exactly, and that is why you dont have enough rights on the pc to install drivers for your mp3 player :P

nothing you can do about it.

It IS Plug & Play, provided the computer has WMP10+ installed and the DAP has the latest firmware. :p

If you cant get through the wizard then ya screwed, or maybe try to skip it on a way. if it really cant find it I'll say UL 2U

If it's not plug&play then you're prolly screwed. However one thing you can try is seeing if you can view the disk from inside an application (try browsing to it in the 'open' menu in Word, for example). I know some of the computers at my Uni have a weird bug that you can't see USB flash drives in explorer, but they still work fine...
