I tried downloading the drivers from Apple, but it kept complaining that I needed a previous version of BootCamp already installed; I tried downloading drivers from torrents, but they seemed to be corrupted in some way, and I ended up having to reinstall Windows.
Finally I realized that disks usually only become damaged during insertion/removal. Solution: take my DVD drive apart, put in the DVD, pray it doesn't try to spit the disk out because of [what I suspect to be DRM] bugs in Apple's DVD drives for my laptop; install the drivers; take the drive apart again and remove the DVD.
Of course, *after* I got the drivers installed, I had a friend offer to pay me an external hard drive in exchange for technical support. lol
