You should not need to install Windows drivers. For the most part, they are incompatible, plus, there should already be a driver pre-installed. However, if there isn't, try using sudo (ie, prefix your command with sudo). The reason for this is that /usr is owned by root (the superuser), and other users can only read it. sudo gets around this problem by allowing you to run the command as the superuser.
