My computer says CD-ROM is not available Path '1' cannot be found verify you have access to this location and try again find instalationumms1 in folder and install

This Error 1702 problem can occur if all the following conditions are true:

• You originally installed Office from a network administrative installation.
• The network administrative installation is no longer available to you.
• You are trying to use an Office CD-ROM when you are prompted by the Windows Installer for an Office source location.
• You click Cancel when you are prompted to insert the CD.

Because the files in an administrative installation are uncompressed, and the files on an Office CD-ROM are compressed, the Windows Installer cannot resolve the differences between the two source types. The resolution to this problem depends on whether you can obtain access to a network administrative installation. Use the following methods, as appropriate to your situation.

If the original administrative installation from which you installed Office is not available, you can use a different administrative installation for the Office source file location. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type a command line similar to the following, and then click
   OK new network path\Setup.exe /fvm package name.msi
   where new network path is the full path to the alternative network administrative installation, and
   package name is the name of the Windows Installer .msi package on the root of this administrative installation (for example, Proplus.msi).
3. Click OK when the update is finished.

No matter what type of laptop you own or how you use it, the CD-ROM or DVD drive is an important part of the unit. With the CD or DVD drive in place, you can play your favorite music or watch your favorite movies, so when that CD or DVD player stops working it is important to get it back in service as soon as possible.

1.Locate the bypass hole on the CD-ROM drive. There is a very small hole, generally located underneath the eject button, on every CD-ROM drive. Unbend a paper clip and insert it into the hole until the CD tray pops out.
2.Remove any CD that is in the tray and replace it with a CD laser lens cleaner. These laser lens cleaners are available at computer shops and electronics retailers.
3.Run the laser lens cleaning program, then try to play a CD again. If that CD fails to play, replace it with another CD and try again.
4.Shut the computer down and remove the AC power cord if cleaning the laser lens does not resolve the issue. Turn the laptop upside down and slide the battery release lever to the unlocked position.
5.Remove the battery and set it aside. Then locate the screws that hold the CD-ROM drive in place and remove those screws. Slide the CD-ROM drive out of the bay, then slide it back into the bay until it snaps securely into place. Replace the screws that hold the drive in place, turn the laptop back on and try to read the CD again.
6.Log on to your computer and right click on the "My Computer" icon. Select "Properties" from the menu and click on the "Hardware" tab. Click the "Device Manager" button and expand the CD-ROM section. Right click on the CD-ROM and choose "Update Driver" from the menu to download and install the latest device driver from the CD-ROM manufacturer.

I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya

Open "My computer" and then you will see a drive letter beside your CD-ROM drive. It will say something like (E:\) or (D:\) and that is the path for the CD-ROM drive.

Thanks

If you are not using a retail Windows XP CD-ROM with a hologram (for example, if you are using a burned CD-ROM), try to run the Setup program from a retail CD-ROM with a hologram. To verify this, start the computer by using Recovery Console, and then check the C:\$win_nt$.~ls folder. Look for the Asms folder. If the folder is missing or the files that it contains are zero bytes, the CD-ROM was not burned correctly.
For additional information about how to use Recovery Console, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
307654 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654/ ) HOW TO: Install and use the Recovery Console in Windows XP

Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP require files named printupg.inf and printupg.PNF to be found in the Windows .inf folder. If these files are missing or damaged, no printer can be installed and the error of incorrect parameter will come, and the existing files need to be removed if present, and a fresh copy of printupg.inf restored from the Windows backup archive. Kindly Do the following steps:--------

• Double-click My Computer on the first screen or in Start menu.
• On the Menu bar, click Tools , then Folder Options
• Click the View tab.
• Under Hidden Files And Folders, select Show hidden files and folders
• Deselect Hide extensions for known file types and Hide protected operating system files .
• After the above steps, you will be sure that the Computer is showing all files. After it >..............
• Close the other applications. Double-click the hard drive icon that Windows is installed in, the name usually ends with C: .
• Double-click the Windows or WINNT folder icon.
• Double-click the .inf folder icon
• On the Menu bar, click View , then Details .
• Click the word Name above the list of folder and file icons until the list is in alphabetical order.
• Scroll down the list to the section where files starting with the word print are located.
• If files are found named printupg.inf or printupg.PNF , rename them using the following procedure:----

1. Right-click on one of the files, then click Rename
2. Click at the right edge of the file name to remove the highlight from the name.
3. Press the Backspace key on the keyboard three times to remove the inf or PNF letters
4. Type the reverse of the three letters, then press the Enter key on the keyboard. For example, inf would be replaced with fni, and PNF would be replaced by FNP.
5. If the other file is present, Repeat Steps as through in step 4.

• Insert a new copy of printupg.inf into the inf folder using the following procedure:

1. Determine where the correct i386 folder is by double-clicking My Computer on the first screen or in the Start menu, then double-clicking the icon that ends with C: If the i386 folder is not displayed, click the Up or Back arrow at the top of the window, then try any other icons that look exactly like the one already tried, one at a time. If the i386 folder is still not found, insert the Windows or computer manufacturer recovery CD-ROM disc and double-click each icon that looks like a CD-ROM disc one at a time.
2. Make a note of the path where the folder is found, including the drive letter at the end of the icon name. If folder icons were double-clicked during the search, do not use the i386 folder found after double-clicking the Driver Cache folder. For example, if the i386 folder was found on the recovery CD-ROM disc in drive G: , in folder Archive, the path would beG:\Archive\i386. If the folder was found in the computer's hard drive, the path will probably be C:\i386 . If it was found on the Windows CD-ROM disc inserted in the drive icon ending in M: , the path would be M:\i386
3. Click Start , then Run
4. In the Run box, type CMD , then click OK
5. At the blinking cursor in the black box, type the following statement, where PATH is the actual path determined in step a above and _ is the underscore key, which requires holding the Shift key while pressing the Dash key: EXPAND PATH\printupg.in_ C:\XXX\inf\printupg.inf .
6. The text that Windows displays in the black box will now indicate if the file was found and expanded or not. If the text includes an error message, type the statement above again at the blinking cursor, checking for accuracy. Ensure that all backslashes and the single blank spacebar key after the underscore (Shift+Dash) are included, and that a full colon is typed after each drive letter.
7. If another error is displayed, verify that the PATH being typed is correct by referring to step a above, then type the statement again

After the file has been successfully expanded, close the black box. The missing printupg.PNF file will be created by Windows when it is needed.

thank u sir,, if u feel i helped u, then plz vote/rate me with good marks..thank u!!

1) it may just be a driver issue. look up the control panel / devices. if you see a yellow marker , then the drive is at fault . find the driver and install, then try again.

2) maybe the cdrom is dead , try change to another one.

3) if you dont have spare , plug in an external usb cdrom drive . this way , you can still do the update. many dell laptops use external usb cdrom.
