I have recovered my computer several times because after loading some software and having it work just fine all of a sudden the cd/dvd drive doesn't work. My drive is e: and it doesn't show up and the drive just doesn't work at all. I have spent so many hours trying to get this to work and have even exchanged the computer to no avail. Is there some driver update that I should be loading?? My sound doesn't even work either???I hate vista--please help!!!!!
