    is the device plugged in when you start the machine?
    If yes unplug it before starting.
    Otherwise have you tried a different usb port? (Windows has an annoying habit of messing up USB drivers if the devices are not properly removed) If you plug it into an ew one it should recognise it as a new device and run the install again...
