Hi Guys,

Ok, i got myself a genuine copy of windows 7 enterprise, i have installed on my pc vista home premium. When put the W7 disc in my dvd drive it seems to be not reading the disc. I have gone to my comp-DvD drive-right click- explore and it says please insert a disc.

I really dont understand this its only new....

I Have restarted my computer many times and entered the bios menu to set the boot to my dvd drive and my original vista OS is booting.

I Have also tried the dual boot option in computer managenent but i can only partition my drive to 12 gb and the amount i need is at least 16 gb it wont let me shink myh volume anymore to allow for that extra 4gb....

Im baffled at this stage, if theres anyone that can be of some help that would be great, or could give a step by step instruction??
Ive googled everything and nothing seems to be working, its obviously something im doing wrong or i have a faulty W& disc> I Dont know...

I can post more details if necessary

once again thanks

Where did you get it? Did you burn it from an ISO file? If so burn it again.

To shrink your partition further, you will need 3rd party partitioning software to do this, I recommend Acronis Disk Director.

Does the DVD read on other PC's?

Try switching your DVD drive.

put it in a different computer, or if you dont have one, grab a random DVD and see if your computer reads it.
