Why wont my PC install Call of duty 4?

I need help! When I put COD-4 into my dvd disc drive it makes wierd noises for a couple seconds, then nothing happens! I don't get the "install menue". My dvd drive seems to be working ok and will load anything else I put into it. I thought my first copy of COD-4 may be scratched so I traded it for a new one...same thing. Nothing is happening and is pissing me off.

What in the world could this be?

if the game supports linux then that fixes everything

lol i don't really know what to say...

sometimes weird thing happen to cd or dvd drives that are exactly like what you described, i think its probably time for a new dvd drive or if you are really tight on cash then re-install windows as a last resort because it probably wont work.

also check if you have any spy-were, viruses, Trojans ect

Do you have any virtual drives? Only thing I can think of is maybe the copy protection doesn't like the virtual drives.. if CoD even has C/P?d-rtyboy

It does but he should still be able to read the disc and install the game though.

its the copy protection, aka it screws over some configurations. Mine did the same. A good trick I did was to restart with the disc in the drive. You should get it to read eventually.

Close any other programs not necessary, take the disc out and keep trying, its the copy protection crap.

The install menu wont come up after i put the dvd in but it will come up on my labtop but is slow
