Toshiba satellite bios detects cd/dvd rom but windows 7 ultimate wont,
Help guys, first of all I am new here, so howdy?
info:
Laptop Toshiba Satellite 550 series
O/S Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit
Intel core Due 2000
ram 4GB
Problem.
I reinstalled my Windows fresh and was operating perfectly, after attempting to dual boot the machine with Ubuntu 12:04 which failed miserablly the Windows also has become so that it takes exactly 6 minutes 16 seconds to boot up. the ubuntu that i tried to install Fails completely.
So as it is a new fresh Windows also I thought no bother, I just reinstall Windows again, so went into the bios and told it to boot up from CD and I though Bobs yer uncle in a few minuts. NO. the machine booted up again via HDD at the same pace of 6.16 minutes.....
Thought ok, just stick the win 7 cd in and click the Setup.exe file.... that should sort it, except under my Computer Shows up no CD/DVD Rom device.
I looked into the device Manager next and in reality there are no cd/DVD Rom device listed and no Option to introduce one, under add new Hardware everything under the sun Comes up listed but CD Rom devices.
So I thought you know what go into command promt and Format c: manually and then put the cd in, that should work because the bios has detected the cd Rom.... except the machine refuses to Format c; drive at allll cost.
ran MSconfig next to try and sort it there but I was just as unsuccessful there as the rest.
now what I am doing is ""pulling My Hair out"" please someone tell whats going on with this machin!!!!
thanks in Advance
