Need disc drive adapter

I have an Acer Aspire X1700 with a  DVD Multi Recorder Disc Drive. I just received a camera and the disc that came with it for instructions and contains the driver for the camera is too small to run on this PC. Does anyone know of some kind of adapter that I can use as a template to run the smaller disc on? The center hole is the same diameter as a conventional disc, 15mm, but the disc diameter is 75 mm compared to 120mm for the standard disc. Thanks for any help I can get.

    Hi Dutchman

     

    I presume you mean a disk like this (as shown on the left):

    This should fit inside your drive on the small inner groove:

    But, if it still fails to be read it, you can buy the adaptor that takes the mini CD up to full size. See here. You should be able to buy online or locally!

     

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks a bunch, Pioneer, it worked but I had to lay the PC down horizontally so the disc wouldn't fall out. Simple solution but I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
