Somewhere on your machine (probably somewhere under the \windows\ directory) there should be a directory with a great many .cab files. Locate that directory and remember it for later.
Then go into device manager (Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties", Find and REMOVE/DELETE the adapter. Reboot the machine and PnP should "find" the adapter again. Go through the install process again and at the point where it asks you for the Windows CD, point it at that .cab directory you located earlier. If that fails, you'll need to borrow a Windows CD.
