F: Drive wont recognise disks

[Guest]

I just bought a laptop today and when i put a disk in the disk drive it
doesnt even seem to realise its there. I've been trying to install a few
games and when i go to my computer then click on the F: drive it says there
is no disk and to insert a disk. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i
can get my drive working

Is your F: drive a CD\DVD drive?
If yes, try this:

You might want to try this:

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
your account full control.

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
desktop.

REBOOT
