I bought a game, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for PC.
I have 2 comps, one my ordinary working one, the other a high end gaming comp. Now, I have a DVD R/RW on my high end coming one. On my ordinary I have just a DVD reader.
Now, for some odd reason, when I put it into my high end comping DVD R/RW, it doesn't load but makes some clicking noises for a like 30 seconds, and then stops loading it.
On my ordinary, it loads it normally :/
Since a DVD R/RW costs more and IS better, I have no idea why won't the disk load on my high end gaming comp.
Now, I have LOADS of DVD CD's Games which load perfectly on both comps.
Look, they tested the game and it worked on their comp, I put in the game into my other comp and it recognized it. Which is weird, because my other comp has a DVD REader, and this one is a DVD WRITER.
If your DVD-Writer runs other DVD Discs fine then it is not at fault.
But you can always use your DVD-ROM for this game. Remove it from your 2nd computer and install it in your gaming computer and enjoy the game. But if this is a problem then buy a separate DVD-ROM for your gaming system.
I already told you to take the PC back to the shop you bought it from and ask then whats wrong with the DVD/R player. There is no magical phrase or software that will fix it. From what you have said the DVD player wont run your game and if that doesnt turn your lightbulb on then theres no way it will get fixed. I know what I would do but if you do not know much about firmware or drivers then I dont recommend you do that yourself, just let a professional handle it.

WTF! I was playing Company of Heroes and then wanted to play DarkStar One, and just for the heck of it I tried putting in the Ghost Recon disk again. And it worked. What the hell is up with that? Also, I noticed that sometimes when I start my PC the PC starts making the same clicking noises at the beginning of start up as it did when it couldn't read Ghost Recon.
