Make sure you are using the correct type of Blank DVD (+ or -) that your writer supports, also make sure you are using the right legit software.

Another thing you could check is whether the cd is a +R or a -R. Because it really makes a difference which one it is. A +R has compatability issues with many computers where as a -R is more compatible. So I'd check that out too.

I'd hate to provide the alternative of installing it from the HP Recovery Console, but I think that would be the best idea. It sounds like there could be drivers and options in the disc that could be missing from your system, but I can't really tell what they would be without being able to deal with your system (And I'm pretty new to HP myself, so I probably still wouldn't know.) I know it's annoying since they load a bunch of crap from the factory back on the system, but I think it might be the safest way to restore your system back to working condition.\n\nMaybe someone else has a suggestion of how to get it done without doing this?

It is probably either misaligned or otherwise "hosed"...\n\nSince these drives are now inexpensive (around $30 or less) I would replace it either with another CDRW or, better yet, a DVDRW for about $50 or so!

It looks to me like it wants the disk with the new bios on it. The cd you're talking about is the utility used to flash the bios, corrrect? You actually need to download a new bios for it to use, in order to flash it.

The drive is bad. Bring it back before you waste anymore time trying to fix it. I had one go bad like that after it had worked for a while. I took it apart to fix it, but there wasn't anything wrong with it mechanically. Something electronic had gone bad. It's not your install or your software - it's the drive.

get the right drivers for it, you can get that at samsung.com maybe or it might come with a cd and make sure your combo drive can READ cds... it might be for burning\n\n or you might need a dvd watching programb

try looking on the manufacturers website for a firmware update. this will upgrade and fix certain features of the drive and may even add new features such as region code unlocking and such. you may also get improved performance but this isn't guarenteed

Check the Minimum System Requirements for print workshop.  If that is ok, then  go into the D drive by click on My Computer. Right click on the drive... choose "AutoPlay" to see if you can load the program from right there. Also try to install another program to see if the D drive is working ok (a disk that you have installed before). Open the D Drive and make sure the disk is sited properly...oO( if you are like me, you will Know what I mean).

Well, when troubleshooting, you have ask questions like, did it EVER work in that cd rom drive?  And if it did, what changed?\n\nIs it the original or a copy?  Some copies will not read in other drives.\n\nIs it damaged, scratched?\n\nDo you have another drive to test it in?\n\nDo other game/data cds work fine in that drive?\n\nI would say, try creating a folder on your desktop, and copy all the files from the cd to that folder, then try to install it.  If it's successful, you'll still need to have the cd in the drive to play.  If it cannot copy all the files, it's likely the cd or drive is failing and will need to be replaced.\n\nProbably a cheap way to find out if it's your cd, and you don't have another drive to test it in, is to go to some game rental place, like Blockbuster, rent the game and try again.\n\nLet me know if this is the best answer.  Hope it helps!

You said CD... The install disk is most likely going to be a DVD.  Also check the tech specs.  Your hardware may not be up to speed.

clueless.    You might see if the sound is actually going to run, http://pclinuxos.com will boot, in the CDrom, will make the sound work, unless the board is destroyed (unlikely). \n\nI don't do creative...  you might reload it, after the proof test...

I don't know what your question is.\nMaybe you need to update firmware, look up your drive on internet and search for firmware update.\nMaybe driver, same as above.\nMaybe it is ok but you don't have or know how to use software used with DVD.\nTry to re post with more information.

Either the CD is faulty (perhaps it wasn't finalised correctly) or the drive is.\n\nTry a lens cleaning cd first (you can purchase this at most PC and electronics stores).  If that doesn't work, try the CD in another drive (maybe on another PC).  If you still can't read it, then the CD is faulty.

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.
