Ok guys, don't think this is right for the DBP board so I put it here, the problem. For some reason my DVD drive won't read CD's anymore, I can only assume that some software is preventing it from doing so but I don't see anyway of fixing it since it's something in XP service pack 2/3. To install DBP you need the disc in, you can't copy the files off the disc cause the setup.exe runs the disc so that's out.

One thing I thought of doing is to install it on another computer and copy the installed file to my computer, but I don't know if it'll work and would you need sort the registries, cause I don't know how.

There are two last resorts, get a new drive (don't have the money atm) or download (glup) and new DBP off the interwebs.

What do you think?

I really don't want to buy a new drive at the moment but I really want to continue working on my game, man this sucks.
