      Put the disk in the computer Like "bestthing" stated a windows should automatically popup; in the event it doesn't  click My Computer and then look for the CD-Rom (or floppy drive) and click on it. You would then drag the files and/or folders onto your computer and drop them in the desired storage location.

        As stated above, when you load the disk, which I am assuming is a CD, into the computer, a box normally appears asking you what you want to do with this disk i.e. View images or open folder and there are about 3-4 other options.  You can select the View choice, which looks like a projector screen, or you can open the folder, which is just a picture of folder. With the View, the images will then be opened for you to view.  *With the folder, you will see all the images laid out as either titles or they'll be mini images, known as thumb-nail.  When you double click on a title/thumbnail, it will open up and you can view it.  Depending on your viewer, you can either open each image individually or at the bottom of the 'viewer' there will be 'forward' and 'backward' arrows, so you can view your images that way.
        Alternatively, if this selection box doesn't appear when you insert your disk, on your desktop or through your start menu, there will be 'My Computer'  If you select this, it will show you all the drives that are on your computer.  Select your disk, which normally appears as D: E: Or F: - it may also have a title of the disk i.e. Jane's Party Pics!! Or Images070808 (these are just examples!)  Double click on this disk and the contents will open into folder, in which case you should continue as I have suggested earlier near the *.
        I'm hoping that this will work for you.  The only other problem you could encounter, is the fact that the images maybe saved in a format, that you may not have software for on your pc, but in the majority, images are saved as .JPG .GIF or .BMP, which will all open in Paint.
        Good Luck - Enjoy your pictures :-)

        It's so simple you can copy and paste it look copy to the file and save it to the folder , desktop or where ever you want then it will be loaded and would be copied to then if you want to remove the photo file from your compact disk then you can cut or delete it
        NOTE:It's much better that you copy the file in my Pictures only
