Hello. If I could go to that store, I would talk to that person's

Hi Anouk,
In order to run Windows via Fusion, you need a Windows CD. This can't
be an upgrade CD or a recovery disk. You then install Windows using
that CD within Fusion. Once Windows is installed, Fusion loads the
drivers you need automatically through something called VMWare tools.
