problems with a new computer

[daniel_h23_2000]

I need some help
I built a computer for my family friend
and sometimes when i put a cd in, this message comes up

_ISDEL.EXE_NoDisk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive

and the buttons below it are cancel//tryagain//continue
what could be the problem?

Try a different cable configuration for the CD drive. If it's master, try slave. If it's slave, try putting it on a cable alone. Be sure that none of the pins are bent or collapsed into the drive.

I think _isdel.exe is part of an Installshield to clear the temp file. If so, and its corrupt (still looking for the install disk), clearing all your *.tmp files and Temp folder contents should fix the problem.
Worth a try anyway. :p

Oh yes - good idea!

[daniel_h23_2000]

Is it safe to delete every single .tmp files in temp folder?

by the way he has XP if that matters in any way

Yes . They are in C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Temp. You may have to make hidden folders visible. Do that in My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View.
