20mm disc in a laptop
Sorry to be boring but can anybody help.
I just bought a spoecial USB - serial cable that comes with drivers on a titchy 20mm CD-rom disc.
How the heck can I put a disc this size into a laptop that has a slot-in CD/DVD drive made for grown-up CDs? This midget thingie just goes half way in and does nothing, and I've had to get it out again using a pair of tweezers.
The words "effing" and "useless" come to mind ( not to mention "frustrating").
Do I have to go and find a friend with a tray-type CD/DVD player, and copy the drivers onto a proper CD-rom? Would that work? Why the heck has someone sold the stuff to me on a CD-rom with growth impairment in the first place? Is there a reason I should know about? Suggestions appreciated - thanks.

An elegant solution can now be found in time with a desktop CD and a DVD-RW when I can be arsed to get it together.
I am trying to reduce my Victor Meldrew profile and I realise much of my post breaches my new anti-grumpiness policy - apologies.
