    dvd rw drive in laptop


    the drive plays cd music ok using disc , today I tried to install a cannon printer using their original disc , but drive will not pick the disc up so as I can install program. looked in help but no information for this particular problem .
    at one point I was asked to format disc . did not do that it seemed wrong to me
    any clues .
    am using HP-processor Celeron dual core cpu 3500@210GHZ
    ram 2.00gb
    64 bit operating system

    Help would be appreciated

    The DVD-ROM may be getting old
    The installation CD may be problematic

    Can you check with another data CD? Also check the Install CD on another drive.
