i had a system crash but now i am back up and running but
i keep getting an i/o device error everytime i open my
dvd drive
can this be fixed or do i need a new dvd-rom
 
hi,

Try to boot in safe mode and login as administartor.
Go to device manager, hightlight the DVD rom, right click
and select unistall, click apply and OK then reboot.
After reboot, windows should find the new hardware and
install the driver for the DVD rom. If the find new
hardware wizard not appeared, use the add new hardware
wizard, let windows search and install the drivers.

Hope it helps.

Peter
