CD/RW disc reading problem ONLY for windows Vista Upgrade cd

I just purhcased a Windows Vista upgrade cd for my Windows Xp, now the CD
runs when I insert it into any other computer which confirms my problem lies
within my cd-rw drive. However I play computer games that require cd's in the
drive at all times on my spare time which tells me this issue is only with
the Windows Vista Upgrade cd, I own a LG Disc Compatible Rewritable cd-rom
that works great, and when i insert the Windows Vista Cd the hourglass
appears for only a second beside the cursor as if it is about to read the cd.
I uninstalled Nero and basically everything else that isnt necessary from my
computer and im stumped... so far this upgrade has cause nothing but problems
for me. Anyone have any suggestions??

I think it's a dvd, not a cd.

DUUUHHHH! <G>

Unless you ordered a special five disc package, the disc you have is a DVD
disc and not a CD disc. A CD-RW drive won't be able to read it.
