Use the windows 7 USB /dvd tool instead then.

I get a message saying there is no media present. However, I can d/l drivers for a printer and such. Same thing happened with when I tried to copy the file with ImgBurn - no media present.
What am I failing to do?
Computer is running flawlessly albeit the warning messages. I'll use it till its death and then replace. I'll have like 800 TB of space with my new drive. Thanks once again and for all for your time and excellent suggestions.
Here we go! No one told me to insert the cd shiny side down! Downloaded correct version of Windows 7 and ready to install once I receive my new hard drive. Are there any other (mis) understood things a novice should be aware of?
[I guess it's all relative, isn't it?
Grandma wants her car to run the quarter in less than 11 seconds. So she hires a team to make it happen. Shouldn't that hired team provide granny that car without worry? But when the performance of that car begins to lapse, she is required to provide input? She has already provided and is not interested in offering input for which she has paid.
So goes the fluid stream of money!
This is exactly right.
To use a car analogy, you can't just take a car to a shop and say to the mechanic "Tell me how to make it run better.". That doesn't work. There are so many things at play like condition of your suspension, the engine, the tires, the brakes, the steering, the list goes on. You can't expect a one simple all explanation to what is most likely a much more complex problem.
Granny is not asking the guys how to make it run better. She has paid them to make it happen.
A redundant thanks to all of you. I have a DVD loaded with a fresh version of Windows ready to implement. You have saved me hundreds of dollars.
Thing is, I know where you live and will most likely visit you again!
Thank you so very much for your time.
