• My new laptop has crashed and disk backup does not work, can download a boot disk for Windows 7, I hit legitimate?

  My Acer 5745 laptop crashed, my backup boot drive does not work. The laptop was running Windows 7 when I bought new in November 2010. Y at - it somewhere that I can download a floppy or a recovery disc?  'The Source' store where I bought will not help, they said they had to go back to Acer and it could take up to two months to return to a charge of about $170.

  Thanks for any help, someone might be able to give.

  A laptop bought at that date will still be under warranty, there should be no costs involved, contact Acer technical support.

  I guess by the backup startup disk, you mean the set of recovery disks you did when you first used the PC?

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• Satellite 2430: CD/DVD drive does not work - i/o error

  Hello all Toshiba people.i have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite 2430 for a very good price. One thing the carpet * a DVD - ram Uj - 810 drive does not work when I put in any type of cd or dvd, I get this error
  F:\ is not accessible.
  The request could not be performed because of an i/o error.

  I talked to my local computer Wizz and does everything that he suggested to the letter and still the same problem. He suggested updating the bios drivers and the only way to do that is on a disk drive that she cannot take the an or a CD or dvd drive is not working. Can you please help me!

  Begging you a lot
  Michael Borger

  In my view BIOS update will not change.
  I assume that the reader has worked in the past with the same BIOS version
  It is a drive hardware problem or some registry keys are corrupt.

  I think that it s a hardware malfunction may be a matter of lenses.
  But try this;
  Remove the drive from Device Manager and shut the laptop computer. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Then you can check the functionality.

  Otherwise, you can remove the disk from the laptop, and then start the laptop without the drive. Then stop the laptop, put the drive in the notebook and start over.
  The firmware should again loads.

  But if these procedures help t, I don t see it differently as for replace the drive
