CD-ROM hey I had brought my all-in-one from a friend and they lost the cd-rom that had came with it, how can I program it on my computer withit? is that everything i need for it all i got was the machine.

No matter what type of laptop you own or how you use it, the CD-ROM or DVD drive is an important part of the unit. With the CD or DVD drive in place, you can play your favorite music or watch your favorite movies, so when that CD or DVD player stops working it is important to get it back in service as soon as possible.

1.Locate the bypass hole on the CD-ROM drive. There is a very small hole, generally located underneath the eject button, on every CD-ROM drive. Unbend a paper clip and insert it into the hole until the CD tray pops out.
2.Remove any CD that is in the tray and replace it with a CD laser lens cleaner. These laser lens cleaners are available at computer shops and electronics retailers.
3.Run the laser lens cleaning program, then try to play a CD again. If that CD fails to play, replace it with another CD and try again.
4.Shut the computer down and remove the AC power cord if cleaning the laser lens does not resolve the issue. Turn the laptop upside down and slide the battery release lever to the unlocked position.
5.Remove the battery and set it aside. Then locate the screws that hold the CD-ROM drive in place and remove those screws. Slide the CD-ROM drive out of the bay, then slide it back into the bay until it snaps securely into place. Replace the screws that hold the drive in place, turn the laptop back on and try to read the CD again.
6.Log on to your computer and right click on the "My Computer" icon. Select "Properties" from the menu and click on the "Hardware" tab. Click the "Device Manager" button and expand the CD-ROM section. Right click on the CD-ROM and choose "Update Driver" from the menu to download and install the latest device driver from the CD-ROM manufacturer.

I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya

Could it be a DVD disk, while you only have a CD reader (or CD reader/writer) ?

Take a USB memory-stick and the CD-ROM to a friend's computer, and copy all the files from the CD-ROM to the memory-stick. Then, connect the memory-stick to your computer, and install from that device.

Find a friend with a _working_ CD-ROM device.
Purchase a 1GB USB memory-stick, and take the memory-stick and the CD-ROM to your friend.

Help the friend copy all the files from the CD-ROM onto the memory-stick.

Take the memory-stick back to your computer, and connect it, and install the software from the memory-stick.

You should use external cd-rom for this issue. You can solve your all problems related to internal cd-rom to using external cd-rom.


Good Luck

Hello !

Your CD-ROM should have at least two cables connected to it: a power cable and IDE cable that should also be connected to your motherboard. Disconnect and reconnect the cables and be certain that they are snug.

Some computers will also have a small third cable used to interface the CD-ROM with the sound card. If the audio for your CD audio CDs is not working properly verify that this cable is not disconnected from the back of the CD-ROM.

Hope this helps.

Have you installed the drivers? If not, install the drivers on your computer from the supplied CD ROM. After that, the PC will recognize the camera.

HI,have a look in your programs on your computer there might be a restore program from fujitsu that you can make a recovery cd from.If not then contact fujitsu and request a Recovery cd-rom

How can i install my canonscan 20 without the cd rom

1. click on start
2. My computer
3. right click on CD/DVD Drive
4. Left click auto run

selecting My Computer, right-clicking the drive that contained the CD-ROM, and selecting Properties. click the AutoPlay tab and select the Select an action to perform option, then double-click the program to use to run the CD-ROM. This action launched the program on the CD-ROM. Note that simply highlighting the program you want to use and clicking OK or Apply doesn't work; you must double-click the program and force it to launch on the CD-ROM or DVD in the drive. The CD-ROM then ran automatically, using the program associated with it on the AutoPlay tab.

back up any important files then load the recovery disc that came with your computer this will solve the lost cd rom and any other things that have gotten lost
