Hi All,

Here is my situation (blown out of the water).

1. I have an Acer TravelMate 290 that with a Toshiba DVD-ROM R6112.
2. I upgraded the firmware to 1033 as suggested by forums to address CRC errors. I also updated to 7133 but found that was old so loaded back to 1033.
3. Then I find out the Windows security fix KB935839 blows away VideoWave rendering. I couldn't uninstall because I deleted those (it also was part of a SP2 package I think). So I decide to rebuild my system using the Acer recovery CD's. I also format the C drive first.
4. Now, the Bios doesn't recognize the DVD drive, so I cannot rebuild my laptop. Cannot even boot up because I formatted the drive first.
5. I can recognize the DVD drive if I boot up with Win startup floppies.

Anyone with a solution would be appreciated. (options are buying a new DVD drive, or loading based on an XP installation disk but will miss out on all the drivers etc.).

Help.

Sincerely,
Li
