hi everyone,
maybe someone computer-smart in here can help me with this problem i've been having.
i'm trying to install a game onto my computer, and for some reason, my d-drive doesn't want to read the cd.

it's a store-bought copy of the game, i don't do the downloading thing. so i know it's not corrupt. the cd-drive reads music cds, and even the second disc of the game, but when i put in the first cd, it freezes up. i can't access the "start.exe" installation file, and no menu pops up. i hear the drive churning for a minute, then it just stops spinning and sits there.
i have the minimum requirements.
it even freezes it up in safe mode.

anyone able to help???? i can give 5 paypal bucks haha i'm desperate!
