Something else i need to know is the the single that you get from your router what is that called ( wifi, what)

when you pick up another persons snigle what is that called ???

what exactly is wifi

Answer
wifi is a trademarked name for a wireless internet signal, that operates just like radio and tv signals.

in order to get wireless internet (wifi), you need a router, this connects to a phone line, and sends out the data to computers.

You also need a receiver, either built in to the laptop, or in the form of a USB pen.

You may not have a wireless receiver that works, or the router may be out of operation, find it, then check everything is plugged in properly.

Answer
In order:

Try the disk in another computer.

If you have encryption software on your computer turn it off.

Ask the person who sent you the disk if they have it encrypted.

Get a new disk.
