Many thanks for your help.

CURRENT SYSTEM:
Dell Inspiron 8000
Windows 2000 Pro

ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL:
Windows XP Pro Upgrade

MY EFFORTS: (1) Boot up computer, (2) Insert new MS Win XP Pro Upgrade disc,
(3) close drive.

RESULT: CD does not run automatically.

MY EFFORT: "Start/Run/d:\setup.exe"

RESULT: "Please insert disc."


CHECKS:

Three other cd's open and run automatically on this drive.
Virgin cd's open the CD-maker automatically.


MY EFFORTS: Uninstall all firewalls and popup blockers and virus
protections. Disable Norton. Reboot.

RESULT: No change.

MY EFFORT: Purchased another new copy of Win XP Pro Upgrade from a different
vendor. - all the same as above.

RESULT: All the same as above.

Please advise. Many thanks.
 
Why not just open Windows Explorer and Browse to the setup file. Then
double-click on it.
