      What Squall meant was using the Vista installation Repair function...

      That Drive name seems familiar, can you perhaps 'hot swap' this drive?
      I.e remove it, replace it without shutting down?

        Not true :)

        I have had two laptops now, that had a switch similar to the PCMCIA cards, that allowed you to remove the DVD Rom drive while you were using the laptop, and then replace it whenever you liked.

        Ok sorted nothing spectacular
        Even though the optical drive wasn't in my computer and it wouldn't play disks,
        I tried a few things after googling ,i went for the recovery cd that came with the computer,
        and for reasons i don't know it worked '
        The asus have a recovery disk that is exclusively to them
        Insert disk and reboot pressing F9 and it installs giving 3 different options of reinstall i went for the first
