recovery disc and cd rom problems
I updated my compaq laptop from windows ME to windows
XP. I have an external hp cd-writer. First off XP doesn't like my cd-writer, but it allows me to use it. about 6 months later...my internal cd/dvd rom will only play dvds. I've tried re updating my computer to xp and the internal cd/dvd-rom played dvds and cds for a limited time and stopped playing cds again. i thought that if used my recovery disc that came with the computer i could restore everything to factory settings, but my internal cd-dvd-rom won't read the cd and my external drive reads the cd but doesn't work when i try to reboot my computer with the cd in the external drive. My computer never came with a windows ME disc and i have no idea what to do. if there's already been a post about this direct me to it, otherwise any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time, littlebluhair |
