DVD Drive can't read Windows 7 Discs
I have just bought Windows 7 Pro, I initially had a problem with XP reading the disc, and read up to find that enabling autorun works to allow the disc to be read, this worked and I installed Windows 7.
Now that it is installed, I can't read the Windows 7 disc (32 or 64 bit discs) with the new os. I have tried enabling all autorun options, but this does not work. My DVD drive is fine, I can read any other disc perfectly fine. The windows discs can be read in my laptop dvd drives too.
If I make a copy of the disc from my laptop it works fine, although this is not the approach that I would hope that I'd have to take considering that I should be able to use the original.
can anyone assist with this please, thank you.
