When i insert first disc nothing happens when i click on the disc on the desktop it brings up a file and everything in that file brings up a word document of some sort in a different programming language or something. how to turn on auto run for mac?

When you insert the software disc, most computers are set to autorun what's inserted into the disc drive. If yours is not enabled, you can insert your disc, go to My Computer, and right click on the drive with the CD, and click on Open, this should allow you to access the information on the cd. Just click on the setup.exe, and you should start installing in no time!

Usually its just plug and play on the Mac. The software with the .exe is for Windows. I'd just plug it in via USB and see if it shows up on your regular Mac burning software.

We are going to do this the easy way....you need a computer of course and one that has a working cd/dvd player, a flash drive and a windows installation disc. A recovery disc will not work...you need a windows installation disc.

Go to the control panel > folder options > click on the "View" tab, scroll down and UN-check the box the says "hide protected operating system files", now click the bubble above that says "Show hidden files and folders.
Now get out of the control panel and insert the windows disc in the drive.

Go ahead and insert the flash drive into a usb port and let windows recognize the device and load it. It will give the device a drive letter.

After the disc loads, it may appear on your desktop and say to install Windows....just exit the program but don't eject the disc. Open "My Computer" and look for your cd/dvd drive and right click on it. Choose "open" from the choices and a list of files and folders will appear. Select all the files except for a file that says "desktop

Copy all the files and paste them into the flash drive that you can find in "My Computer" The files from the disc will now be written to the flash drive. Once the copy is completed, the flash drive can now be used to boot the computer.

Insert the usb drive into the laptop that needs fixing and power it up. After the flash screen appears, tap the F12 key to bring up the multi-boot options. Choose USB drive and hit enter. The laptop will boot off the usb drive and initiate the Windows files.

You might have to open it up (assuming it's a desktop, not laptop) and make sure the cable is connected inside. The power might be connected, which lets you insert and eject discs, but the IDE (assuming it's IDE) cable also needs to be connected.

when it tells you to take out every disc, leave the recovery disc as it contains the files needed for it to recover your system to factory specs

When you reformat your computer you are basiclly deleting everything...from the Operating System (Windows ) to all your files and programs......there will be nothing on the hard drive when you are done.

To reformat simply insert the disc , and run through the Windows setup......below is a step bystep guide with pictures to make the process less confusing for you:

Make sure you back u peverything on your computer before doing this! if you have any personal pictures/music/files/e-mails you definitly want to save them to a cd or USB flash drive before starting this!

Try manually looking at the CD by going to the "My Computer" icon, and double-clicking the CD. If you see any files in there called setup.exe, double-click and go. It should startup. If the computer tells you that it can't read the cd, or to insert a cd, then it's possibly it's not the right format for your computer. Either it's a dvd that you can't read, or maybe it's the mac version and you hace a PC, or vice-versa?

check that the drive is present in my computer and try playing disc from there first. Also right click on the drive letter and go to properties. There's a trouble shooter there. Hope this helps
