Disc Drive

admin · Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:33 pm Post subject: Disc Drive

Well dont get me wrong im a NERD and i have a bunch of computer games. Thing is our disc drive isnt working. I put the disk in and nothing happened. So I went to All Programs and clicked on the game I had in the drive and it said " Please Insert Disk ". Our Drive wasnt reading the disk that was in it. So I went to our control panel and there was no Drive file. (The drive application was deleted ) So incase we somehow deleted past in time we restored our computer to a month ago and still the disc drive application was not there. And i cannot hold this. It costed so much money and its pointless to by another just for me ( As my parents think ) but I have like 50 games so yea...any help Question

Well here is what i would do I would personally open the Comp (unplug everything first) and make sure there are 2 wires plugged into the CD Drive one that looks like a ribbon and one that looks like a bunch of wires connected by a point, if that doesnt work i suggest to Find the installation CD and try installing it again (I believe when you bought your computer it came with a CD labeed DELL Resource CD) and reinstall it. Before you do any of that however follow these steps My Computer Icon>Right Click>Properties>Hardware Tab>Device Manager and from there check to see if there is a disk drive installed
