I've burnt the Windows 8 Developer Preview DVD and inserted it into my laptop. Setup starts and looks good, but it then prompts me for a DVD driver. Saying it is missing.
I can't progress further than this. There is no dedicated DVD driver to download for my laptop.
Is this normal?
Please be aware that it is pre-release software, there will be problems with drivers. As an alternative, try using the USB installation method
You can also run the partition-enabled (non-upgrade) installer from inside windows by mounting the ISO and starting \sources\setup.exe
You may have to provide proper/updated IDE/SATA/RAID controller drivers before starting the install so that the Setup can continue to see the drive(s) after the install has switched over from the generic startup driver(s).
See here for similar problems people had when Vista first came out.
