jonnyB3 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 HELP! Okay i just bought a new pc with XP. I have installed all my games apart from FSX because wehen i insert it into the DVD-drive, nothing happens. It doesnt even show that there is a disk in the drive on My Computer. So what did i think about it? Well I thought disk 1 is faulty because the second disk works on the new pc. However i inserted the disk into my old pc and it started to run. I am very confused! PLEASE HELP! Thanks, Jonny Moderator doesnt like it :(
zaelu Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 The disk may still be faulty. Maybe you have a better DVD unit in your old PC that makes better error corrections. Try switching the two units between the two PCs.

spugnut Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I have two DVD units in my PC for this very reason - my main (and far newer and faster) DVD drive won't even spin up anything protected by securom.. so I have to keep the old drive in just for them!

Ven Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 This happened to me with my Vista installation DVD. I have two DVD drives, one read only and the other RW. The disc wasn't recognized by the read only drive but worked fine on the RW. Not sure what it was but there is disc compatibility issue. Maybe try disabling the autorun.
Wild.Bill.Kelso Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 That is strange jonny. My first FS9 CD went bad after about 2 months, and I contacted MS and they sent me an entirely new set of CDs for free. Maybe try the same thing?
