Missing Device Drivers Message on Win 8 64 bit installation

I get an error that the drivers for the dvd drive cannot be found when I try to create a new Windows 8 64 bit virtual machine.

Some points of note:
  • I'm using an Apple SuperDrive USB
  • It works fine installing the 32 bit version
  • It worked the first time I tried installing from the 64 bit (I had to remove that machine because I screwed it up)

Any ideas? My big questions are these:
  • Would this happen if I used a different drive?
  • Is there any other solution?

Thank you!!!!!!

Also, I'm running Parallels 9 on a most recent vintage MacBook Air.

Thanks, again.
