When I put in my disk and hit the autorun it gives me the window with the option to install, I click install, the window vanishes and the drive acts like its working for a bit, then nothing happens.
I can't say for certain... Give us a bit more information - what version of Windows you are currently using, what version of BG you possess (the 5 CD version or a DVD version), have you successfully installed it earlier (otherwise it might be the disks fault).
