If something doesn't work in 2 weeks old laptop, who is gonna pay for the repairs, when the warranty expires, and something is wrong again?

But try a different disk and if that doesnt work take it back. I was going to say that after the OP tried a different disk because the disk just may be bad

Yes i have tried different disk
It was bought over the internet so it would be as case of boxing it up and mailing back,
I thought my 1st option would be to ask the boffs on here 1st who have helped me on a number of occasions (220 post worth) ;D
After googling ,it seems a common fault on this particular optical device running on vista,So come on any ideas before i start boxing it ,i have thought of reinstall ,i have a recovery disk but again that is another of my last options
