Subject pretty much says it all. The CD-ROM game is called Starcraft. All other CD-ROM games I own have no problem with being read. Upon purchasing this game, I promptly installed the software for it. Immediately after installation, I installed the expansion set: "Brood Wars" for it. During the Brood Wars installation the system froze up. I ended the task and uninstalled all of the Starcraft software. Now whenever I put the disk in, the CD-ROM will not access the disk at all. The device LED briefly flashes, then I get the message: Cannot access drive. Before the problem came along, I used virus scan on the Starcraft disk and it came out clean. Like I said before, the CD drive recognizes all of my other CDs, just not the Starcraft or Brood War CDs. I'm dyin to play these games, so someone help me out please.

The message I get mostly though, is "Device Is Not Ready".
