    stupid question: does the drive recognize other DVDs?

    really stupid question: are you certain the drive is a dvd drive?

    ghetto network install = share drive with full read/write access, browse across network

    or copy+paste entire disc onto network shared folder on other computer, or onto folder on your computer that is network shared from the other computer.

    It's recognizing Oblivion and other DVDs.

    I can use the CnC3 Game disk on my laptop.

    And its showing as if theres NO disk in the drive when i put it in.

    That's kinda weird...

    especially since another system's dvd drive can read the disk, and other dvd's work fine...
    I think the ideas suggested by Sonomaa et al is your best bet
