Might want to consider changing Elements.

Your disk might not be broken but it is that old and not recognized properly anymore.

This site has downloads of earlier versions of the program -- but does not go back over 10 years.

Your best bet is to purchase a used copy from Amazon eBay.

However, it would be much wiser to go to a newer version of the program. For one thing, version 4 is only capable of editing video from tape-based miniDV and HDV camcorders captured over a FireWire connection -- all of which hardware is no longer being produced.

Also -- and this is a big deal -- a number of the components in version 4 will not activate because they are so old that the web sites that activated them no longer exist.

In other words, there are a number of liabilities to installing version 4 and virtually no advantages. I highly recommend you consider  a newer version.
