Default Installation Problem, Please

Hello,

Trying to install MS OFFICE, the Enterprise edition.
Running XP.
It has two disks; one has a bunch of stuff I don't really want.
This one, of course, installed just fine.

The other disk has ACCESS, which I do want.
Every time I put it in the CD reader, absolutely nothing happens.
And I mean nothing. No error msgs or anything.

If I go to Windows Explorer\My Computer, and look at the CD drive there, it
comes back and tells me that there is no disk.

Have recently done an HD XP re-install
I have no way of knowing if this would also have happened prior to the XP
re-install.
Funny that the other disk works just fine, though.

Any thoughts as to why this second disk won't come up or register anywhere ?

Of course it might be a bad disk, but frankly I doubt that is the reason.

Any thoughts, or things to try, would be most appreciated.

Regards,
Bob

Corrupt disk, perhaps? Can you try it in a different machine to check? You
might also try cleaning it.

That is the prize for a pirated version of office Enterprise. On Office Enterprise
Access is on the first(1st) disk and not on the second.
What can I tell you. Nothing as far as your issue goes.

I have an Office Enterprise 2007 install CD. There is only one CD. Whether you know it or not, you have a pirated version of Office. There's no support for pirated versions, and not only because piracy is unethical: A pirated version could have significant changes which people familiar with a genuine version cannot possibly know about.
