Having no joy installing microsoft software onto windows 7. The disk drive just refuses to read or acknowledge disk 2 once it gets to that stage. I have tried saving the disks to HDD intending to install from the setup exe but I get blue screen of death when I try to copy disk 2 to the drive.
Sometimes I can see the contents of disk 2's in my computer, other times I cant.
I have been trying to install flight sim FSX which comprises of 2 dvds. I used to be able to read disk 2 in my computer but now it totally refuses to acknowledge it. I then tried to install FS 2004 which is 4 disks. Same problem. I have even tried tricking it by installing disk 2 to the HDD first but it blue screens me after a short while.
Basically, when the installation requests "insert disk 2" nothing happens. If I then go into my computer I get a "not responding" alert. If I click on the drive I lose every single icon on my desktop. If I then try to logoff or restart it just hangs and I have to switch the PC off at the back to restart it.
I have been using CC cleaner, and deleting the registry keys after each botched installation. I have also used Microsoft install tool cleaner.
Any ideas??
Cheers.
