install so i formatted today an installed but got the dreaded "no drive
detected" (the one where its wants Sata drives from floppy)(i managed t
work my way around this by installing the VISTA OS on anoter laptop a
changing the hard drive back

I have no problems apart from the DVD drive it seems it does not wann
be seen in My Computer OR device manager (checked for yellow devices a
rescaned for new hard ware changed MANY times

Iv tried regedit fix with deleteing the uppercase an lowercase thing
(which wasnt there anyway) and iv tried the Microsofts fix fo
0X0000007B that keeps coming up when booting up (it boots bluescreen
with said error then lets me boot up normally after i reset it

i can put in cd or dvd in the drive an have them come out no problem a
i can hear them beaing "read

anyone got any idea cos im stuck (im just a lowly network techiie al
hardware is evil

THANKS in advance for ANY help :cool

pressing buttons while im on toilet is fun an reset my "unlock setup
