I lost my DVD/CDROM...

Hello world

I hope someone can point me in the right direction on this problem with my laptop. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 and am running Windows XP pro top. For some reason, I have lost the icon for the DVD/CDROM in the computer window. When I turn on the machine light flickers on the drive and you can open the drawer, but that's all as it goes... Hope, one or more of you guys can help with some info on this... Don t know the way out of myself.
Thank you
NIGEC

Hi Nigel,

The fact that the light on the drive flashes indicates that she is always defined in the BIOS.

Have you checked in the Device Manager to see if the disc is displayed? If so, you can click on the entry for him and select "Troubleshooting" to run tests on the disc.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And there may be a recovery disk to reinstall Partition Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup.

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    I lost my driver CD/DVD entry in the boot BIOS section while trying to change the order of boot autour. I tried to use a boot disk that did not work properly and didn't know and thought that I had to change the boot order to see the boot-able DVD.  DOH!  ;-)
