have a lenovo G570 computer and recently lost the cd/dvd drive. What can I do to reinstall?

The cd/dvd drive used to work properly. Now when I put a cd or dvd, it will not engage or start. I can hear him enter and try to start.
When you click on my computer, the drive does not appear.
Don't know how it disappeared. Could be that some Windows Update? or when I installed the new kaspersky (do not think that it was really a cause)
Not a Moody person so don't know what else to do. I did go back and do a restore, but that did not help.
Given that the drive does not work I can not use the original disk, I created when I got the computer. Computer is about 2 years old... maybe a little less.

Oh, the only other possible cause I can think of is when I was wrong with my browser and load my att yahoo account. A representative of ATT spocked in my computer and worked behind the scenes to fix. Has they deleted my firefox and temporary files. Unfortunately I do not know exactly when I lost the cd/dvd drive. At this time, but I can't say for sure.

Let me know if there is something other information that you may need to help solve the problem. Thank you!

Moved the site feedback

Try to scan your computer with RadarSync to find out if your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver is out of date or not. You can go for the free version. Once find you that it's really an outdated driver can cause the problem, then you can update the driver by searching in Google it or let the software do it for you.

I hope this helps!

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    My computer used to read CDs and DVDs but just leaves a day. I have tried everything that I met to fix but so far nothing has worked. I can listen to the internet radio and iTunes etc just anything on a disc. It cannot read the disc or the driver is defective or missing.

  • Why can you I did not have my back, forward, stop and buttons Reload the way I want what they? My browser Setup was perfect and now with 29 I can't put it up in the way I li

    I put the rear buttons forward, Stop and reload, separately just to the left of the address bar. That's how I like it and how do I get my navigation. After the automatic upgrade at 29 killed my browser configuration, I tried to use Classic theme restaurateur but the reload button does nothing and now after awhile all buttons simply disappeared after place them where I like them. I'm reduced to having to right click on the web page and selecting the action in the context menu to make navigation as basic measures go forward and backward and reloading. WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    1. Right-click on a zone empty of the tab bar and select Customize.
    2. Click the default settings button, then the button customize the output.
    3. If you don't already have it, install Classic theme restaurateur and restart Firefox when prompted.
    4. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
    5. Beside the classical restaurant theme, click on the Options button.
    6. On the main tab, make sure that 'Mobile back-forward button' and 'hide urlbars stop & reload buttons' is checked. You can also check "combine stop & reload buttons. Close the options window when finished.
    7. Right-click on a zone empty of the tab bar and select Customize.
    8. Do slide forward/backward buttons, Stop and reload on the navigation toolbar.
    9. Click the Customize the output at the bottom right button when finished.

    That being said, I must point out that you can reload pages in other ways.

    • Make a right click No matter what tab and choose reload.
    • Right click on a box empty page and choose reload.
    • Press F5.
    • Press Ctrl + R (Mac: command-R).
  • Can open Firefox XPCOM file is missing. He can either uninstall and cannot download the new exe. What can I do?

    Equipped with Windows Vista. Stop down my PC two day and when I booted up it would not start. Click on the button of power again and it started in safe mode and asked me to run a repair program that I made. After that Firefox does not open and I get the message "XPCOM is missing." everything else works. Tried to uninstall Firefox and cannot do it either. the uninstaller from Control Panel does not work and I found the Mozilla Firefox uninstall Help files and which will not be executed. I get the windows on the screen asking me to continue, or cancel and when I hit continue the dialog box just disappears and nothing happens. Can not download Firefox exe file again. I am running Trend Micro security PC.

    You need to reinstall, you don't, because none of your bookmarks, history etc. WILL NOT BE LOST.
    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
