Just a thought......load the disk and shut down the computer. Restart. Normally the disk drive will spool up looking for a disc...as if perhaps you are reloading the entire operating system after you reformatted. Give that a try and maybe it will recognize the disk.

Yes Sir Mookie, it has already installed SH III and other games, Warhawk I've had the disk in while starting up my computor, no joy

Ok, next little ditty, some drives allows you to adjust the optics to move closer to the disc or further away. I had read another post that this individual was having issues like yours. He adjusted the optic piece to be closer to the disc. After he did this all discs were read.

Also and just to be sure, did you go into My Computer and right click the drive you have the disc in? Attempt autoplay by right clicking on drive icon?

I always have a plain vanilla DVD Read Only Optical Drive around for installing such things. Makes life so much easier. Just plug it in for the affair then remove it and your done.
