Hi everyone / anyone,
I'm not particularly computer literate, however my desktop computer won't read discs. Whether it be a DVD, a set-up disc or even music CD's, there's a 1 in 10 chance that it will see it is there. On the odd occasion it opens, it works fine.
Currently an issue as I am trying to install wireless stick software but the disc will not load.
Hope this is understandable..
Cheers,
Max
Hi Max
How long has this issue been a problem?
If you go to "My Computer" does it say that you have a disc drive?
-Iroro
I purchased the computer 2nd hand (reputable source though - no issues) about 2 weeks ago, have had the issue since I purchased it. They had wiped everything on it, and suggested I might need to download a program or 2 (dvx or something) however I don't know how to do this either. I don't see why I'd need another driver if the drive does work - albeit very sporadically.
Yes it says I have a disk drive, and when my computer geek mate checked the computer there didn't seem to be any issues with the drive's hardware?
Hi Max
Is this a laptop or desktop computer ? Can you tell us the make & model, or is it a home built ?
It's a desktop
Homebuilt
Ok, HomeBuilt, those are my specialities
I'm have you learn to do this download from this tutorial to find out all the specs of this computer. Read this tutorial and follow Brink's instructions get your specs for us.
System Info - See Your System Specs
post what you can & I'll be back shortly.
Not to be a pain in the a.. but it doesn't currently have internet. I'm using a laptop currently, and won't have internet on the desktop until I can get the wireless installation disc to run.
Any other way about it?
Sorry, I had some other posts to take care of.
Does the HomeBuilt have a hardwire ethernet port ? Or is your only connection at your location wireless? Do you have any USB flash sticks that could be used to download to the laptop then transfer to the HomeBuilt ?
Is there not a solution without doing this?
