  • Certain files on your computer are missing or damaged.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use the following methods in the order in which they are presented.

Clean the CD-ROM

Clean the CD-ROM. To do this, use a CD-ROM cleaning kit, or gently wipe the silver side of the CD-ROM with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use paper cloth which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the CD-ROM, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion.

If the issue continues to occur, clean the CD-ROM with a damp cloth or a commercial CD cleaning solution. Dry the CD-ROM thoroughly before you insert it into the CD-ROM drive. If the issue continues to occur, proceed to the next method.

Clean the CD-ROM Drive

If cleaning the CD-ROM does not resolve the issue, clean the CD-ROM drive using a CD-ROM drive cleaning disc if you have one. If you do not have one, obtain one after all other steps in this article have failed to resolve the issue. CD-ROM drive cleaning discs are available in most computer stores.

If the issue continues to occur, proceed to the next method.
