Impossible, since your device _reads_ CDs/DVDs, but does not _write_ either CD nor DVD.

Do you have a USB memory-stick (holding 4Gbytes) ?
If so, copy the files to the memory-stick,
and take the memory-stick to your friend's computer,
presuming that his/her computer has a DVD-writer.
That DVD can be _read_ on your computer.

A VGA monitor is a monitor that uses a standard VGA connector to attach to your PC/laptop. A VGA connector is a small D shaped socket connector, about ½ inch long and ¼ inch wide. Its usually blue with three rows of holes (total of 15 holes) where pins from the mating connector match up with. The only other thing that may look like it is a serial port but that is easy to distinguish, it has two rows of pins for a total of 9. What 24 sever is suggesting you do is connect another monitor to see if the problem shows up there as well. I?ll be surprised if it does since usually this type of display problem on a laptop more often than not is due to a defective connection inside the laptop screen area. A quick test and perhaps even fix would be to grasp the right and left sides of your display while it is on (displaying the offensive lines) and gently twist like you were wringing out a towel. Again, and I emphasize, gently using only a couple of ounces of force. Watch to see if the lines disappear, get worse of make the screen flash or change. If you do then its likely cause is the connector from the LCD panel to the electronics has oxidation or a loose connection. If you?re lucky the flexing might even fix your problem, if not you will have to take it apart to find out exactly what is going on or take it to your local repair shop.

I just removed one of these cases.
The silver face-plate is attached to the cover that you wish to remove. The black plastic just below the silver is a part of the base.

• With the face of the computer towards you, place your thumbs on the black plastic below the face-plate.
• Use your fingers to press into the side-buttons.
• Using your thumbs to push against the base, pull the cover towards you.

Download pc wizard to find out what drivers you need search the net for them download install them then store i separate partition of hard drive I have presario c700 and all drivers work. this method should work on any computer converted from vista to xp

how I solve this issue of a customer of mine.
replaced power supply and one memory stick was faulty
lesson learned: check the obvious first.. .Powersupply.. if problems persists... check your ram... if you have 2 sticks of ram,, try reseating and using one at a time or swap with known good memory.

Just bought a Satellite & had same problem. Toshiba Support confirmed the 'Processor Power Management' fix. Within both the Min AND Max Processor State options you should set BOTH the Battery and Power Adapter options to 100%

Have you ever tried the methods below? Actually, there are several methods to transfer movies from laptop to iPhone. But at first, please make sure that the video format is compatible with your iPhone. Then you can follow the steps below:

1. Transfer videos from PC to iPhone via email. This should be come to the first idea if you don't know how to transfer files between PC and iPhone. Send videos as attachments to your email, then download it on iPhone. Note that there is size limit on files.
2. Transfer videos from PC to iPhone via iTunes. It is an official way, but it is not recommended, for it will erase previous data while syncing, which will cause data losses. Therefore, a third party program like iTransfer will be suggested, because it can import files from PC to iPhone directly, bypassing iTunes restriction.
3. Transfer videos from PC to iPhone via cloud server like iCloud. It is another offical way. You can adopt it if your iPhone is under good Wi-Fi connection. The pro is that there is no size limit for this method, but the con is that iCloud only has 5GB storage for free.

Read on this tutorial for more details on these methods: 4 Ways to Transfer Movies to iPhone

Why are you worried about this? You are getting a warning that the hard drive is about to die. In your place, I would copy any data I wanted to keep to the desktop and then replace the hard drive. You can then image the original drive to the new one and try the restore again. The Panther\unattend.xml file is created and Windows uses it during the restore process in order to know what to do, copying it from another computer (if you can find one) would probably totally mess up the installation. The reason it cannot be parsed is probably because it was created on a section of the hard drive that has already failed - remember, your hard drive is dying.
