[Computer] Help please. Disc won't read.

[Apathy]

Any reasons other then it being broken why my WoW CD wont get recognized? Other discs work fine. Is there anything on my computer that might be stopping it or something?

sandpaper

 

[XTasy]

try reformatting


edit: the invisible hand has scratched your WoW disk so that you do not play anymore

god wills it

 

[Apathy]

Also, the disc works fine in my other computer. Other discs work fine in my computer.

Only the one disc wont read, the rest are fine..

 

[Apathy]

Will sandpaper seriously help?

 

[Scuzzle]

It doesn't need to read to get an MA.

 

[Apathy]

I don't get how sandpaper helps.

Use some fine sandpaper and try to buff out any scratches on the underside of the disc to start off

If that doesn't work ask again and I'll tell you how to buff the CD drive (sometimes the glass protecting the lasers gets scratched and you have to clean it up)

 

[Apathy]

That didnt fucking work at all, it won't even read in my brothers computer now. What the fuck? Will they even take this shit back now?

 

[Apathy]

Oh it didn't work. How do I buff the laser?

If this is the case how come other game CD's work fine?

could be a matter of the cd's lens being just dirty enough and the cd being just dirty or crappy enough that it cant read that one cd. other cd's are probably different type, age, amount of abuse..etc.
