I bought an old Ibm thinkpad laptop with a removable cd-rom drive & and removable floppy drive. After a while somethings on it got deleted and now the cd-rom drive does not work. The computer has three things deleted that every time I log in it keeps saying that they are lost or something. And I want to reinstall it if possible but the floppy disc needed was rewritten with something from the previous owner. What am I supposed to do to install it?
"every time I log in it keeps saying that they are lost or something" That's not very helpful. Please give details of what it actually says is missing.
And what version of windows?
