Dear "lostinla"

What model and make would the laptop be?
also what OS is the laptop running?
and doe's the computer recognise the drive in device manager?
also, does your computer seem to be running slower than usual?

I have the same problem I have W vista home premium and the problem is that
the BIOS detects the DVD and everything but the OS does not what should we do
