"No common CD-ROM drive was detected" - Aspire - 2010-08-11
I searched for this problem and found another post without any replies. Hopefully posting another is appropriate. I have been trying to install xbmc 9.11 live onto my Acer Aspire R1600(latest bios) and I am getting an error message during the cd-rom detection process. "No common CD-ROM drive was detected". I have installed older versions of xbmc live without any problems(text based installer). I read on another forum that it is caused by a bug in the latest installer. I also tried the boxee live cd with the same results. Using a flash drive instead of a cd also renders the same results. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Bump. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Could really use any help.

I read about some guy on another forum with the same problem. He ended up borrowing a USB CD drive and installed XBMC from there.
That's probably the easiest solution.
