Looks like you don't have one. You could either buy one really cheap(atleast $20). Or download the torrent and mount the image on a virtual drive.

if it says DVD anywhere it will work, if its not a DVD it will have only "Compact Disk" written on it.

If you don't even have a DVD rom, I would be willing to bet yo'r PC can't even run PSU. But you could always go out and buy a cheap external DVD drive for like $30

You guys are not reading he said it says rom not video meaning it says 'DVD ROM' which is what a pc drive should say , it is dvd players that say 'DVD VIDEO', he does have a DVD drive from what i understand

On the game box it says You got to have a DVD ROM
DaveOnrefni
Oct 25, 2006, 07:22 PM
hm... so it doesn't auto-run... Well, your disc(DVD) drive might be labeled something like.. "D:" (Example: Harddrive -> "C:") While looking in the "My Computer" section

it has CD-RW D but I click on that and nothings there
DaveOnrefni
Oct 25, 2006, 07:27 PM
uh-oh.. CD-RW? That'd be a CD-RW drive.. not a DVD-(etc) drive... =/ I doubt I'd be able to give much help any further >.<

No second drives? (Like my PC has a DVD-ROM drive and a DVD-R/RW drive.. labeled G: and F: as an example)

DaveOnrefni
Oct 25, 2006, 07:31 PM
