Might you have done something to delete the driver? Have you tried reinstalling the driver?
Go to the device manager:
-Right click on "my computer"
- go to "properties"
- go to "hardware"
- go to "device manager"
What does it say here about your drives? Does it recognize that there is something there, but not know how to interoperate with it? |

I havent tried it yet but I'm just wondering why would it recognize the drive only after I have restart it several times? _________________ New Orleans Hornets superstar point guard Chris Paul is reportedly headed to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade. |

As for the Apple lovers, IBM is most certainly better than any laptop from Macintosh. |
