    I really wonder why you don't buy replacement ODD. Compatible readers for this model of laptop old are more expensive. Replacement is very easy and you can do it alone.

    Wait a minute: you can remove the laptop HARD drive and connect to other PC / laptop as external one. If you can do what you want.

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

  • Question: How can I format external drive in exFAT? NOT in NTFS!

    OK, so frustrated that I had to go through the hedges to sign up here to ask a question like that. Why can I NOT format exFAT? I have many external HDDs that were formatted in exFAT under WIndows XP Pro but my new system, completely updated Windows 7 Professional, I can't format external drives of exFAT. The option is NOT available. In the Format window, file system, is the only option: NTFS (default), there is no other option. I googled the * on this issue and found no answer. This external hard drive MUST be formatted as a disc exFAT. Period. Someone please help.

    I'm surprised the research online increase this... You can do it from the command prompt, but not from this dialog box.  Here's how:

    -Open a command prompt by typing cmd in the start/search box, right click on the cmd search result and select "Run as Administrator"
    -Type format g: FS:exFAT , then press ENTER to start formatting the G drive as exFAT
    To view all other options, type format /? and press ENTER.

    Turn the unit by pressing the power button and immediately after that, press the C key
    Keep it down for a few seconds. This will force the unit to boot from the recovery media
    Follow the instructions on the screen
