:cry:  My laptop is feeling poorly,
I have been trying to use the dvd and the comp wil not recognise it even though it is built with it. I thought the drive was u/s so got another ££££££
Now looking through it somehow it has been disabled but I dont have a clue how to do it

HEEEELLLLLLPPPPP  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

strapping young lad:
you need to be a bit more specific...

what is the make/model of the laptop, also spec if you have it

if its from dell or hp or compaq, did you build it with the supplied cd's?

the brand new laptop i have here from work wont install owt from an xp install disc, doesnt recognise the gfx card, audio, network, wifi, nowt so i have to build it with suppiled drivers or im up the swanny.

maybe yours is the same, needs the proper discs for the drivers

It is an IBM thinkpad R50e 1.4 celeron m, with win xp home preloaded, approx 16 months old and never been a problem,
The drive is a dvd rw combo as fitted at factory and was working

If i go into the IBM recovery it has a red asterix beside cd rom and says disabled, i dont know how to 'enable' it and dont know why it is disabled  :?

Will try the link, thanks

Have you got into the BIOS with it, and had a look through there?
