    Hello,
    My apologies for the newbie question:

    I'd like to install Mathcad 13 on Windows XP in Parallels (which is set up and has installed other programs)
    When I insert the Mathcad CD into my MacBook Pro, the computer makes a bit of noise and ejects the CD unread.
    When I insert the mathcad CD into my PC, it reads it fine and offers to do the install.
    How can I install mathcad in Parallels if the mac doesn't recognize the CD?

    Something tells me this is a dumb question with an easy fix, but I'm not having success finding help online.

    Thanks for any help,
    Mike
