So short story is that I'm trying to install Windows 7 onto my Vista, my friend downloaded and put it on a disc for me to download, I got it working the first time, but had to restart because of some programs interfering, but now the computer won't even recognize the DVD, any solutions?

Also, ask for computer specs if needed.

I notice that when discs are put into the computer, it makes a LOT of noise to process it, and it does, but then it stops? I can see my D: drive fine in My Computer, it just doesn't change when the disc is put in.

Check it with another disc. Eg an audio CD or a DVD movie. If the problem is still there with them, let us know.

Just tried with my Desktop PC disc, it does work.

My friend just tried the disc in several computers at school, and it worked.

It was just working moments ago before restart. :\

My friend just told me to boot it from BIOS, is that another method? I wouldn't mind losing my data as I need a reformat as well.

It isn't uncommon for disks from certain manufacturers not work. I have had several cases where a burn disk worked in one computer but not on another. It usually was due to the disk brand.

Are you using an off brand disk?

If not, crack the case open. Unplug the DVD, boot Windows. Under Device Manager if it's still there remove the DVD drive. Shut Windows down cleanly. Plug DVD back in, boot up. Windows should find it fresh, and it should clear out any remnant of something left from the failed install.

Are you running any disk emulators? Daemon Tools, Alcohol?

you might have some filters, check your registry:

1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, if you have UpperFilters, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, if you have LowerFilters, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

Hi there

Is your drive IDE
does your drive have a jumper on the back its a tiny wee black connector and according to the brand may have 1 or 2 max ive seen is 2

from what i understand your computer is detecting the drive as it shows in my computer on the picture above this has happened to me and it was the jumper/jumpers

open ya case unplug the drive unscrew the drive slide it out of ya case now on the top of the drive there will be a picture that says jumper setup as you have two drives the best option is to change the jumper to the same as cable select on the diagram or the more advanced option one on master one on slave

If the drive is sata then check your sata cable luckily sata dont have jumpers unless you have a sata hard drive and the jumper on sata hard drives have something to do with transfer speed

and if thats not it then ild say you have a dead lazer or insanely dirty you can fix a dirty laser with some isoprobe/rubbing alcohol on one of those air cleaning cotton bud stick things

whatever there called anyways i hope that solves the problem if its a dead laser ya really best to just replace the drive because finding another laser assembly for a drive is hard as you need to find one that matches your model number

I hope its a Ide Drive with the jumpers configured wrong because thats the most annoying yet easiest problem to solve annoying because you may have to take the drive in and out due to getting the jumper wrong again and again
