Disk Drive will not load up my Windows 7 Installation Disk. Spits it out within 5 tries.

Hello,
Today, I bought myself a Windows 7 64-bit Installation disk so I can put Windows 7 via Bootcamp. However, everytime I insert the disk, my iMac will make strange noises. For example; first it will try to load the disk but then shuts down. It will start up again but then fails again. This will happen for about 5 tries and then it will eject the disk out.
I have tested different types of CDs after this problem occurred and I have mixed results. I have tried my old Vista 32bit installation disk which had worked before perfectly but now it will not load. I tried my mother's Windows 7 disk and that doesn't work. I have tried a DVD movie (The Simpsons Movie first thing I saw) and that loaded fine. I tried my OSX Install disk and that loaded up fine.
Could this problem be fixed by myself easily or do I need to visit an Apple store/repair store and ask them about the issue? My warranty ran out around 2 years ago.
Here are my specs:
iMac Model: Mid 2010
Processor: Intel i3
Processor Speed: 3.06Ghz
Ram: 8GB

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on  new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

    When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?"  I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes.  Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing.  In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
    I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
    P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
    Thanks for your interest in helping!

  • Disk drive will not click or accept disks ?

    Disk drive will not click or accept cd's or DVD's

    What I did was I kept putting it in until it accepted it. I don't know if yours will do this. With any disc, my iMac and my mom's MBP accepted discs after about 20 tries.

  • Pioneer DVD -RW drive will not load CD/DVD media iMac Yosemite

    I have a 20-inch, Early 2009 iMac that was recently updated with a SSD Drive and I ran all the installation media that cam with it originally.
    I did update to the latest and greatest Mac OS Yosemite to recently discover that the Pioneer drive (see details below) will not load disks. Any disks. It makes that loading noise and it seems to struggle until it spits it out again.
    I am pretty sure it worked since I have loaded Software from the Installation DVDs but I cannot confirm the if the problem started since Yosemite update. There may be a separate contributing factor, he is 2 year old and since he has seen Music CDs loaded there previously he was showing interest in poking thinks in the slot.
    How can I identify the real problem? Is the drive faulty or is it some incompatibility with the system?

  • HT1386 iTunes will not load on my windows XP computer

    To Whom It May Concern:
    I have a laptop that runs windows XP Pro, and my iTunes is corrupted to the point it will not load and I can not sync my iPad.  I reloaded iTunes and it can not complete a full reinstall, because my files are corrupted.  I would like to a completed de-install however I don’t want to loss my backup files.
    Can someone give me some suggestions regarding what I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Dred1130

    First try:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Then try moving the backup to a safe place and then rebuild your computer amd backup up your Tunes library.
    Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Ext. Drive will not mount however it shows in Disk Utility?

    Ext. Drive will not show on the desktop nor will it mount however, it shows up in Disk Utility but...
    Back story:  I've been using this Lacie backup on my MBPro with Time Machine.  Decided to use the ext. drive to back up my old G3 yosemite running OS 10.3.  It would not show on desktop so I decided to pass on that.  Went back to my new MBPro, plugged it in and states disk utility cannot repair.  "disk1s3"  See images.
    Help!! I have stored data on this drive and it was working great until now.  Something must hae heppened going from the G3? 
    Anything help would be appreciated.

    The disk directory is corrupt and can't be repaired by Disk Utility, or the drive has failed. You could remove the drive mechanism from the enclosure and install it in another one, or in a drive dock. If the mechanism is intact, you may be able to recover your backups that way.

  • Will not open itunes on windows 7 - disk locked

    I can install and uninstall itunes fine, but I can never open it due to an apparently locked disk.
    I had it installed on my D drive and it was working fine, until it stopped opening one day. I recently tried installing it on my C drive, and it didn't open either. I don't know what could have caused this, except that I joined a Homegroup just before it stopped working.
    Could this have anything to do with the problem? And what would be the best thing to do?

    i have the same problem.  i have been downloading my cd library and some songs from my purchases at the itunes store and both will not play.  the diamond does not move.  also, my speakers are not working nor is windows media player when i try to play movie files.  not sure if they are related.  anyone find any answers?

  • Win8.1 hard drive will not load in one computer but will in another

    I have a HP s3707c (product FQ578AA-ABA, Software build 91NAv6PrA1). Win8.1. This computer got stuck in the "preparing automatic repair" loop and will not start windows. It freezes with the windows icon showing and no spinning circle of dots appear. I made a recovery USB and it will not start from it either. I thought that it might be a hard drive problem (or software), but the HP diagnostic test from hitting F9 on start up indicate that everything passes.  I have a second computer that is the same type, so I took the hard drive out of the computer having problems and put it in the one that is not having problems. It started up just fine. I put the hard drive from the good computer into the one having problems and it still would not start up windows from the drve or from the recovery disk. Any suggestion on how I should proceed diagnosing the problem on this machine not starting up windows? 

    Hello D1P. I understand that the hard drive will work on one computer, but not another one. I do have to point out that the computer you pointed out (FQ578AA), does not have Windows 8.1 drivers, as indicated here. You should reference this document for more information: What if I don't see my operating system.
    If you are interested in troubleshooting the issue under this environment, you can test the computer for hardware failures. If there is an error, this indicates that the computer could have a hardware failure. Otherwise, you are likely facing a compatibility issue.
    Please let me know the results of you troubleshooting. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • V 1.1.2. Video IPOD Will Not Load onto my Windows XP Computer

    So here's the dealio, I've had this Ipod Video for some time. It worked just fine on my original computer but when I got a new and more recent computer, it doesn't even register on the Ipod that it's being connected to the computer. It does however charge through the computer,which doesn't make sense to me. When I plug it through the chord that came with the Ipod to the computer, there is a ring but nothing else. It isn't on My Computer file, doesn't bring up the new hardware option and when I even try to use the CD that came with it, it comes to the "Please plug in your Ipod now." and I do but nothing happens, same ordeal happens too.
    Summary:
    1. It doesn't show on the Ipod that it's connected to the computer
    2. It does charge
    3. It can't even be used through the CD
    4. The Add New Hardware option doesn't pop up when it is plugged in.
    5. The "ding" does sound when it is plugged in.
    6. It did work with my other computer.
    Can anyone help me?
    Is it the computer?

  • CS3 will not load past registration window

    Suddenly today, trying to open CS3 I get blank registration window which it will not go beyond.
    The application is there in the background but everything is greyed out. I must say I am not sure I have ever filld inal the registration details, I have just always pressed the 'later' button.
    I must have had CS3 for years now – is it trying to force me to upgrade?
    Anyone know how I can fix it?
    Cheers.

    Disconect internet
    Start CS3
    Say never to error screen
    reconnect to internet
    Hopefully this should solve the issue:
