I have just installed vista onto a laptop using the dvd drive, but when
it was all installed it hasn't seemed to install the dvd drive as it doesn't appear on my computer or device manager, just wondered if anyone knows a solution, I have tried to do the regedit thing but the files that need deleting aren't even there, want to put xp back on as the network adapter isn't working either as i think that it isn't compatible with Vista but can't seem to do it as when i try rebooting with the cd in the laptop isn't finding it, even when i got to setup to try and change boot default there is no cddvd drive option there -- xcrazysimonex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xcrazysimonex's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/110269.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/1205901.htm http://forums.techarena.in Is the DVD drive connected directly to your MOBO or is using a USB interface? Does the drive show up in your BIOS? news:guest@unknown-email.com...

If I use an external HDD enclosure to format the laptops drive using my pc will i be able to then put a clean install of XP onto the drive? do u think this will make a difference to the dvd drive tho? Or is the disk drive broken?????????????? it seems to make a noise when i put a disk in? -- xcrazysimonex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xcrazysimonex's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/110269.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/1205901.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
