ok so I bought a laptop which came with vista. I decided that I didnt like vista and removed it and installed XP. Well I found out that the drivers for my hardware dont work for XP and I want to reinstall vista. Only problem is for some reason my drive wont read the vista disk. Any advice?

replace the disk !! simple right ??

[john807071]

the problem isnt the disk the problem is the drive not being able to read DVDs even though its supposed to

So you're saying that the computer won't load the DVD?

[john807071]

yes thats correct

[JinkX]

try the dvd on a diffrent computer !!

[john807071]

the dvd (windows vista cd) works fine on other computers. It doesnt on the one I want it to. Also my cd drive reads normal cds perfectly fine.

[peterhuang913]

So you already have Vista installed? If so, I think you didn't download and install the driver for the DVD drive.

is vista installed or not man ?

I had Vista installed when i first bought it. removed it and installed XP. now I want vista back and my computer cant read the vista dvd but reads other cds fine
