 I had installed cd creator 4, I then received a error sayin that it coudln't
use this drive that it would make window unstable so I uninstalled but kept
getting the message about this drive so I went in and searched for this drive
and deleted it a little while later my cd rom did not show up so i went to
reinstall and couldnt' find the driver for my cd rom, then I restored to a
earlier date and when computer booted back up it wouldnt' and I can't boot
from disk because computer doesn't reconize the cd rom. can someone tell me
what I can do I even try to boot to safe mode but it goes to a black screen.
Also I dont even know if this could be the problem dell just install a new
hard drive but wasn't having any problem until I deleted this driver Please
help!!
