You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.

Used speed, the actual brand of discs, burning and if file Live or mastered all come into
play. A cleaning disc can sometimes help.

  • Why my DVD player will not see the disc of Windows 7 Installation?

    The TEAC DV-W58E DVD on my Dimension PC drive will play videos and games and will read and write data on DVD.

    Why he won't see the Windows 7 Installation disc that has delivered today? It's the only drive, that he has never read. He don't think that the drive is empty, sees just 0 used bytes, free 0 bytes.

    The drive is seen by the two other PCs but not one I want to install W7 on.

    My PC runs XP Professional and the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor test and is up-to-date with Windows Update and has the latest driver for the DVD drive.

    I can't install the new operating system unless I can get the PC to read the disc.

    Cause the most likely not to read the DVD, is that its firmware is too old.  Double layer and encryption more recent methods are old 1 x, 2 x and 4 x dvd drives cannot read 16 x media recorded.

    Windows 7 has some minimum requirements.

    Windows 8 adds a lot of SPECIFIC requirements as NX Bit is supported in the BIOS.

    If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

    • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or (x 64) 64-bit processor

    • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit), this excludes most INTEL 815 chipset

      Pentium 3 systems.  512 Meg is MAX for the 815 chipset.

    • 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

    • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

    Hi JPWNS,

    Windows 7 and Windows Vista allows you to have multiple users share the same computer under their own individual accounts. This allows each user to have their own location on the computer where they can store their personal documents, photos, videos, saved games and other personal data. It also allows the owner of the computer assign some accounts the ability to perform administrative tasks such as installing software, while limiting the capabilities of the other user.

    This tutorial will guide you in creating a new account in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

    1. Click the Start button. It's the small round button () in the lower left corner of your screen that has a Windows flag on it.
    2. Click on the Control Panel menu option.
    3. When Control Panel opens, you will see a screen similar to Figure 1 below.

  • Vista Home Premium will not write to CD - RW; will write to the CD - R and DVD

    I installed all the updates window vista Home premium. I have a DVD/R/W/drive. Vista will write a CD - R disc and the DVD disc.
