    Disc not detected?

    Okay some reason i don't think my discs are being recognised.

    I tried two copies of CoD2.. nothing happened.

    In my computer all it shows is C: , D:
    and F: BD-ROM Drive. (Always here and i don't know what it is) :O

    Re: Disc not detected?

    What kind of drive do you have? If it is listed as a BD-ROM drive then it should be a BluRay reader, which will read CDs and DVDs.

    The easiest way to check for a hardware fault is to shut down and stick a recovery disk or the Windows install disk in the drive as it boots. If it reads from that fine then it's a Windows or software issue. If it doesn't read the disk, then it's likely a hardware problem.

    Not that it's much use in actually solving your problem, but "BD-ROM Drive" will be a Virtual CloneDrive optical drive or similar virtual drive.

    It's either replace the drive or sort out Windows. This'll tell you which.
