I booted from the Vista DVD installation disk for a clean install, it loads the files, after the language selection window appears, it prompts me for a device driver for my Pioneer SATA DVD/RW writer. Other than the normal windows drivers for the drive, I cannot locate device drivers so the install will continue. How do I overcome this?

most likely it is looking for the driver for the controller your SATA cd-rom is installed to, what kind of motherboard are you running? do you know which controller (if there is more then one) you can intergrate that driver into the WIM file on the dvd, (or easier you will be able to get the drivers onto a floppy and add them during the install)
