[AshleyStarr]

I put c.ds into my drive and then nothing pops up .. i was told to go to computer then it should be there but its not so i click D: Factory Image.. then all thats in thjat file is Recovery.. and what it says in there is:

Recovery Partition

D: is your recovery partition and should not be messed with.
If you have a CD drive it should be E; F: G: or whatever...depending on how the machine is setup...

Open a side panel and check all cabling...
If this is a laptop remove the dribe and re-seat it with the power removed...

everything looks connected

Even if there were software issues with the drives they should still be showing up in Device Manager...
How old is this machine ?
Any issues before this ?
Any Yellow ??'s in Device Manager ? ?

[AshleyStarr]
