Disc is not reading. FF14Follow

when you say it's not detecting it, do you mean it's not autorunning, oryou can't even browse files and see it?

Might be a bad or scratched disk, or our DVD drive might be older and being defeated by the copy protection they put on the disk. If your drive is older, I'd spend the $22 and get a brand new one from newegg.com (any of the 22x DVD burners will do the trick).

Probly your drive. FF14 is a dual layer disc--an older drive could be struggling to read it. I'd see if another system can read it. If you got it from a retailer that sales PC's, should be easy enough to test it in the store before you ask for a swap. That way if it is the DVD itself, the sales clerk will have proof as well. CD/DVD drives are cheap nowadays. You may even be able to pick one up locally around $30 and not have to wait for it.

I can install from the disc until about 80% complete, then *BAM* I get a cycle redundancy check error. I had to check microsoft.com to even find out what the heck it was - but yeah...just a fancy way to say read error. Looks like tons of people have had my problem - so there's lots of suggestions to try.
