You can find lots of items about this problem on Google. Without more information such as your operating system and what happened before the problem started, it's hard to say any more. Try this thread for several possible solutions.

I am not quite sure what you mean by saying that the programs want to grab the cd drive. Neither program should be using the cd/dvd drive unless you are using it, neither program has sole use of it. Could you clarify if you are getting an error during the installation?

No you can't install XP Pro and use the same product key that you have with Media Center. You need to purchase XP Pro if you want to install it and use the product key that comes in the packaging.

If your computer's "network-adapter" is working, you can access the manufacturer's web-site, and search for the drivers on their web-site.

Or, try: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Click "custom", and later click "hardware",
to see if Windows Update will offer updates for your hardware.

Are you trying to use iTunes to download to an Apple iPod, or to write to a CD/DVD disk? If the latter, try a different "blank" CD/DVD disc.

try to see if any device is connected to the sys USB port

Depends on your your operating system but assuming you are using a version of windows you need to find My computer. This will open a window where you can see your hard drives & CD/DVD drives. Right click the CD drive you want to access and then click "Explore" or "Open" depending on your version of windows. Provided the disc is not damage this will allow you to view the content of the disc & drag it to a folder on your PC.

If you asking about avi file there is no easy solution of this problem because Windows Medai Player as well as Windows Media Center can not fast forward and rewind avi file only DVD support fast forward - you need to use 3th part software (player) to be able to do fast forward,
I spent a lot of time trying to force WMCE and WMP to FF all files no lack so far

Try re-installing the OS.

If the machine giving you this problem has vista on it and you do not have a disk call the manufacturer of the computer. They are required to send you a recovery disc if requested.

here you will find a 1394 net adapter ...which is a driver for ethernet adapter (Lan) if you were talking about IEEE 1394...for fire wire ...this might be different

The most effective solution to your problem is reinstalling windows. It sucks but is the best way to repair windows

most probably your network cable and or printer connection is tampered double check it, b'cause it won't be noticeable....
Trust me,
 i had the same experience

You are not able to access the Hard Disk if the raid is selected in bios. Hence change the bios setting from SATA Raid to IDE, then it should work

It would appear that Windows has put some tricky code in the installation software to know whether a certain disc goes with a certain product key, or even with the flavor of Windows you're trying to install. You need to get the product key from your colleague, and then it will take it and continue the install.
Good luck!
