| | CD/RW disc reading problem ONLY for windows Vista Upgrade cd I just purhcased a Windows Vista upgrade cd for my Windows Xp, now the CD runs when I insert it into any other computer which confirms my problem lies within my cd-rw drive. However I play computer games that require cd's in the drive at all times on my spare time which tells me this issue is only with the Windows Vista Upgrade cd, I own a LG Disc Compatible Rewritable cd-rom that works great, and when i insert the Windows Vista Cd the hourglass appears for only a second beside the cursor as if it is about to read the cd. I uninstalled Nero and basically everything else that isnt necessary from my computer and im stumped... so far this upgrade has cause nothing but problems for me. Anyone have any suggestions?? |

| | Re: CD/RW disc reading problem ONLY for windows Vista Upgrade cd Unless you ordered a special five disc package, the disc you have is a DVD disc and not a CD disc. A CD-RW drive won't be able to read it. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@xxxxxx * NEW!
