I decided to reformat and reinstall windows, mainly because I was having a few harddrive issues... my internal cdrom doesn't work, so I've been using an external cdrom for as long as I can remember.. Anyway, I reformatted the harddrive, not knowing that usb cdrom drives arent detected without windows(I could've sworn that I've done it before)...
Anyway, now I'm stuck with an empty laptop, and I'm not quite sure how to go about installing the os... I'm probably going to get a cdrom soon, but I can't really do that at this point. I was wondering if there's an alternative way in doing this.. I do have access to a desktop computer, and I do have a usb floppy driver and a usb cdrom drive.. (laptop detects the floppy drive just fine)...

Since updating the firmware on my LG drive (GSA-T50L) on every restart I get a message that Windows (Vista Home Basic) cannot install the driver. I click the second option, which is to "remind me later." I have to do this every time I boot up. The CD ROM is actually working OK as far as I can tell, but I'm still getting the error message. Device Manager doesn't list any driver, and trying to update it through device manager is unsuccessful.
I'm using firmware rev. SC05. I wondered if downgrading back to SC04 would cure the problem, but after hundreds of searches I cannot find the firmware anywhere on the Internet. Why it's so rare, I have no idea.
Maybe the problem has been caused by myself -- I deleted the drivers folder from the recovery partition some time ago to gain a couple of GB of drive space. However, I was under the impression that the CDROM uses Windows' own driver, so maybe this isn't the problem? I'm absolutely stumped. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue?
FWIW, I have recovery discs, only I'm unsure about using them because I don't want to wipe the entire system and start from scratch. If it's possible to restore only the missing drivers folder from the recovery partition this might be a good start.

how much a CDROM weighs? It might sound retarded, but is there anyway you can take the CD-ROM out of the laptop to shave some weight off?
Though, if it only weighs like 0.05pds, I rather not of course.

I have a Hp HDX16 1005EA with Optiarc BC-5500 Blu Ray drive. I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits and now the blu ray doesn't work anymore. It still playing DVD's and CD's, but not Blu Ray's. I re installed the HP media smart (last version for my windows version on the HP website) and I'm getting the following message: The format is not supported.

I recently upgraded my DV5T to Windows 7 Professional (x64) and my bluetooth will no longer find devices, it just endlessly searches for a device. The device in question is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000.
I'm not really sure what to do at this point. The driver is updated. Bluetooth is on in services.msc. The mouse is in connect mode. Yet still can't be found.

I just installed win7 on the MBP I purchased today, everything is great except the internal mic isn't working. I googled it and it appears to be a problem, is there a fix out for this issue?
Also I guess I'll throw it in that my MBP is running pretty hot, is this normal? Or is there a fan control

I have an Inspiron 15 with Windows 8.1 on which the Windows is not working. I am in contact with Dell but the 'expert' seems to ignore what I say and give me solutions that bear little relation to my problem. could it be that I am in consultation with a computer that emits standard replies based on keywords in my e-mails?

I just upgraded from Vista and the Blu-ray drive won't work. I installed the device driver and it appears in the system manager. Is there some other software that needs to be downloaded? If so, where do I get it from?

I've been using RmClock to undervolt my Dell Inspiron E1505 for awhile under Windows XP and its been great. But recently I went from XP to Windows 7 32bit, it stopped working. It'll just run the default voltages. I've tried running it under administrator and Windows XP compatibility mode but still doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make it work under Windows 7 32bit?

Just updated my notebook from XP to 7 (really like it!), and wanted to use a SD card for the ReadyBoost feature.
Have a 4GB SDHC Sandisk:
The built-in reader (RICOH) works fine with standard SD cards, but won't even recognize this one.
Have looked for driver updates, but unable to find anything that works.

i upgraded my hard drive and installed windows 7 this weekend. Everything is working fine except for my fn keys will not work.
I have looked high and low through the forums to try to find a fix. I have been installing Sony drivers for the past 3 hours, rebooting between each installation, and it still isn't working perfectly.
I've gotten to a point where the Volume keys work, and when I push Fn+F5 to lower the brightness, the little brightness meter pops up and the sound is made. But, the brightness won't go any lower than maximum.
The screen is really bright and it's killing my eyes, and draining my battery crazy fast!

I have a HP pavilion G6 model number C0Y35EA#ABU. I had an automatic update for Windows 8 and my keyboard stopped working immediately after.I have checked device manager and it says there is no keyboard and gives a code of C24.If I go into setup before Windows the keyboard works fine so I know it's not a hardware issue.
