Why can't I upload CS4 Design Premium (student version) on my new PC computer?

[nunod]

Greetings.

I just bought a new HP dv6t-7200 PC computer.  It has Windows 8 on it.  I purchased the student version of Adobe CS Design Premium a few years ago and was trying to upload it into my new computer. 

When I put in the discs they sound like they're starting but then they wind down and stop spinning.  I checked my "start" screen to view my "c" drive and it doesn't even show that the disk is in the drive. 

Can anyone tell me why I can't upload these discus into my new computer?  I get no error messages or any kind of message box stating that I can't upload the discs, so I don''t know what's wrong.  The discus uploaded fine a few years ago on my last HP PC and it's a valid student version set.

Please help!

Download the trial from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.

Activate the trial with your serial number.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't think the education serial number will work to install the regular version

Check your disk in another computer... if it loads there, you have a hardware problem
