Lets say I have a laptop 1 year old ( Toshiba 1115-103) and I do not have any CD or floopey disks in case I need to get the machine going again. The laptop has a DVD only it will play CD but no burner and it does not list that it has CD player.I guess that the DVD reads the CD. The OP is XP ,What would I do to get this machine working again? I have a desk top that has a CD burner on it plus a flopy disk drive. I can make CD or floopys.BBut what do I need to do? Gail CRady __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
