    hi.

    my sony vaio cr (vgn-cr120e) doesn't read any discs i put in. when i look at my drives, there's just memory stick (d:\) and sd/mmc (e :)

    i'm not a huge expert when it comes to computers so any help would be appreciated... i need to install some programs.

    thanks

    Hi Babydarklord,

    I am having a similar problem with my sony vaio notebook and I followed the steps you provided, but when I put in any discs they won't read. I'm trying to install software for a palm hand held I just got and the installation disc won't even read. Please help!
