CD wont play

[Guest]

I am trying to make some copies of some home movies. Everytime I insert the
disk and right-click on the drive and click Explore, it says "Please insert
disk".

The disk is in good shape, however it won't read it.

I didn't create the disk, someone brought it to me. I would assume it's .mpg.

Any ideas. I've tried cleaning as it begins to spin when you first insert
it, then stops.

Sorry got it to play. It's actually DVD. However we don't have any DVD disc
available. Is there a way to put on a CD-R from DVD.

Yes but only if you have a DVD drive. However... If you put it on CD then
some lower-end DVD players won't play it no matter how hard you kick them.
It should still play in computers though. Another note is that you may need
to split the content so that you're able to put what once required a DVD's
storage capacity onto several much smaller capacity CDs.

This is my first time to post on this forum. I saw this question and mine is
similar. I recently had to buy a new computer and have finally transferred
all my data, but I have one cd which has a genealogy program mon it.
Whenever I put it in the the computer, the computer acts like it was never
installed. This disc is a cd-rw which I copied froim my old computer and it
worked fine. I even loaded it back on the old computer and it loaded fine.
My question is, why wouldnt the new computer recognize this disc. The old
and new computers are the same brand name and both run windows xp. Any help
in answering the would be greatly appreciated.

This happens sometimes, due to small differences between individual CD
reader/writers. You might try again with a CD-R instead of CD-RW. Your
results might be better.
