ftg87 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Do you have a DVD drive? Sounds like you don't, seeing as 09 is a DVD and 08 is a CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieG1971 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If it's reading other cd's fine but not FM2009, it must just be a CD drive and not a DVD drive...bummer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's either not a DVD drive, or his drive is dead.Does it read other CD's...if so...it's not dead...but must be a CD drive and not a DVD drive. He said in the OP that it reads other discs. Not sure why you felt the need to repeat what me and Peter have already said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't jump down your throat, you are the one who is doing this to me and also it is you who seemingly has no manners, judging by that post at least. All I did was point out that it was fairly pointless for you to post the exact same thing as has already been posted Shut up and stop causing trouble.
