CD-ROM defective?

CD-ROMs are very resilient and sturdy. Unless there is a major crack or you played frisbee with your dog, (smile) your VTB CD-ROM is not defective. If it was, you would not be able to read anything at all from the CD-ROM. Nowadays, we all have big hard drives so space limitation should not be an issue.

SOLUTION:
Copy the contents of the CD-ROM (root and Installation directories) to a directory on your hard disk. (you can delete them later). Then execute the Setup program from the hard disk instead of your CD-ROM Drive. If the Setup runs (from your Hard Drive) you may be certain that your CD-ROM is fully functional but there may be an issue with the CD-ROM Drive instead, that you may wish to address.

IN DETAIL:
    -  Insert the VTB CD in your CD or DVD drive.
    -  Open Windows Explorer (Start > Run, type in Explorer and click OK).
    -  Open the My Computer tree and navigate to the location of the CD or
       DVD drive.
    -  Copy the contents of the CD to a folder on your computer's hard drive.
       (Right-click on your drive and choose Copy from the menu. Right-click
       on your Desktop and choose Paste from the menu. The contents of the VTB
       CD should copy to a folder on your Desktop.)
    -  Close Windows Explorer and return to your Desktop. You will see the
       new folder. Double-click on it to open it.
    -  Click on the file SETUP.EXE (may show as SETUP) to launch the installer.
       Follow the onscreen prompts.
