    if the disk is a dvd, u cant read it with a cd-rom
    but if the software isn't copy protected, u can make an image on another computer and use the image on your computer (this will require a network or a removable harddisk)

    hope u find this helpful
    regards

    Hiker is right. You have to have a DVD drive. That is because of the lasers on the CD-R/W or CD-Rom drive aren't strong enough to read the density of a DVD disk.
