FSX ships on DVD-ROM discs. You MUST have a DVD-ROM drive in your PC (that is, any drive that is capable of reading DVDs - DVD+CDRW drives work, DVD
Writers work, and DVD-ROM drives work).
Without one, you're not going to be able to install it.
Check the face-plate of the drive - if the DVD logo is not shown there (but the CD-ROM logo or CD-RW logo is) then your drive is not compatible and
you'll need a new one. Thankfully, DVD-ROM drives are quite cheap these days, and are a sound investment - in future, more and more software titles
will distribute on DVD rather than CD-ROM. It's worth it.
