hi guys..and or gals...i recently acquired 2 compaq armada m700 laptops
for 2 friends named bill...they are almost the same...700-800 mhz cpu,
200-300 mb ram, 10-12 ghz hard drive...and compaq dvd-rom (sd-c2402)
but one has winxp and the other has win2000. my problem..when i put a
cd or dvd into the one with win2000..it asks me if i want to format it..if
i say yes..it replies it can't..if i say no...nothing happens. i tried deleting the drive in device manager...and the driver in winnt/system32 and re-booting..
to no avail...i even swapped drives...still no change. i thought i was reasonably computer literate..but i have to admit..i'm stumped.
they didn't come with restore cd's
