Disc is not reading. FF14Follow

#1 Oct 07 2010 at 4:28 PM Rating: Decent
Ok so here's the deal.When I pop my disc for ff14 into the computer my computer isn't picking it up it's acting as though I don't have a disc in the drive.Yes my drive is a dvd drive and my computer specs are all above the minimum to run the game.Anyone know what the issue is or if there is a place to download the client,because this is annoying >.<

when you say it's not detecting it, do you mean it's not autorunning, oryou can't even browse files and see it?

It's acting like there isn't a disc in the drive. It's not autorunning it or letting me browse the disc. When I try to open the files via the disc it says "Please insert disc"

I'm running on windows vista.

Might be a bad or scratched disk, or our DVD drive might be older and being defeated by the copy protection they put on the disk. If your drive is older, I'd spend the $22 and get a brand new one from newegg.com (any of the 22x DVD burners will do the trick).

I don't see any scratch marks or anything on the disc,but my dvd drive is roughly 3 years old. Guess that could be the issue. Whelp i'll try exchanging my disc out for another one if same problem shows up guess i'll replace my dvd drive. Hopefully the problem is the disc. Thanks for the advice.

Probly your drive. FF14 is a dual layer disc--an older drive could be struggling to read it. I'd see if another system can read it. If you got it from a retailer that sales PC's, should be easy enough to test it in the store before you ask for a swap. That way if it is the DVD itself, the sales clerk will have proof as well. CD/DVD drives are cheap nowadays. You may even be able to pick one up locally around $30 and not have to wait for it.

I think its a problem with the discs. Or a combination of drive/disc. My drive is a fairly new 22x sata dvdrw, and it would error reading data2.cab. Then I tried it in my laptop's ~5 year old drive and it worked fine.

I can install from the disc until about 80% complete, then *BAM* I get a cycle redundancy check error. I had to check microsoft.com to even find out what the heck it was - but yeah...just a fancy way to say read error. Looks like tons of people have had my problem - so there's lots of suggestions to try.
