Hi
There is too little detail for anyone to guess what the issue is?
You "bought" a disk of hockey pictures?
Is it a data disk that contains images? If so, it won't play as such.
Or is it a video disk? DVD-video?
Your hard drive has no baring on the issue, the *Hockey* disk will
be placed in a CD/DVD rom drive, which is seperate to your
Hard drive, You access it via windows.
Try and supply more details, specifically the disk -
Do you know if it is a data disk?
