CD/DVD DRIVE HELP

[Guest]

I'm trying to install a game onto my computer, so I put in the first disc.
Nothing happens. I go to my CD/DVD drive (There's only one. It's dual.) and
explore it. Nothing is there. I've done this repeatedly for the past hour and
I can't figure it out. Why won't the installation come up? It's like it isn't
reading the disc.
I know it's not the game since I intsalled it quickly on my other computer.

PLEASE HELP ME. ANYTHING WILL HELP. TIPS, INSRTUCTIONS. I BEG OF YOU

On your other computer find the file you want to run if its setup.exe
then go to your other computer and type D:\setup.exe at start, run.
Thats if D is the drive letter of your CD/DVD drive.

I did that and it still says, "Please insert a disc." EVEN THAOUGH THE DISC
IS IN-FACT IN THERE.

What should I do?

It is possible that the laser lens in the drive is dirty, and therefore is
unable to see that a disc is in there. Get a cd drive cleaner. Also, insert
a bootable disc and see if the drive is able to read discs before booting
into Windows.
