Two possibilities:
1. The CD files might be on the hard disk. Do a search for
"win*.cab". If they're found, point to the folder that they're in.
2. If another network adapter is already installed (or maybe even if
it isn't), the necessary files might already be installed. When it
asks for the CD, tell it to look in C:\Windows\System and/or
C:\Windows\System32.
IMHO opinion, that's an outrageously high charge at the local computer
store.
