Hi here
I just joined this forum. I figured I need to join a forum cuz i've been doing a lot of computer work that I haven't done before. Anyways, today, I installed an external freecom cd/rw drive on my new laptop because I couldn't read from a CD (which I still never read) that I was working on on my old laptop. I was using this external CDRW drive on the old lappy and I burned that CD on it so I thot, i'd install it on my new lappy just to read it and then uninstall it and it would be fine. Now, I've restarted my lappy a few times and still don't have a DVD-RW drive. Anyone know what I can do?! I need help! I'm getting frustrated!

Thanx!

Tried everything and got pissed off, then turned it off and went to bed. Turned it back on this morning and it's all there! Yay! Thanx y'all!
