What can you see in the command-line? If I recall correctly, you are using
Windows, so go to "Start" -> "Run..." type in 'command' and ENTER to open a
DOS prompt
type in 'd:' or 'e:' depending on the letter your CD drive was assigned. Now
type in 'dir' and ENTER. Any luck there? If the very fundamentals do not
work, we can begin to raise questions and find answers.
