I'm not really too worried...I figure if the cd/dvd drive is bad and can't be saved, then I can get an external drive, they are not expensive at all.

Jessica....I've heard that the memory sticks or flash drives don't last very long. Just wondering if you've heard that or not. I really don't know much about them at all.

Whether my computer can be fixed or not I hope it doesn't take too long to get it back. The hard drive is still good and everything works like a charm...just the cd/dvd drive that I can't 'find'. At least I have my iPad and Ricky's old laptop to use until it returns home.

That's a bummer!! I can understand though. I tried to copy off my pictures on a dvd. I was told that they can hold a lot more pictures but my computer isn't set up for that. I have the burner.......just not the software, I guess. I just decided to not do anything about it at the moment.......out of fustration!! I'm so afraid of losing my pictures because I have so many on my computer and I haven't gotten any prints from them for some time.

I hope you're able to figure something out. I'm with you in your fustration!!!

Something was wrong in the registry so it wasn't recognizing the drive. $25 later and it works like a charm so I now have all my pictures on a CD and then of course...I made a copy of the CD...lol.

Now I've deleted all the pictures off my computer (except for the rental homes) and can start over for the rest of the year. I didn't do much at all yesterday so I'm glad my day was productive in a couple different areas.

I'm so glad it didn't cost very much to get it fixed and that it didn't take long at all. You get use to a certain type computer and keyboard and it's nice to have the one that 'fits' back.

I understand. I like my computer except that the battery doesn't charge like it should. Usually it's drained but for some reason it decided to charge......you just never know when it's going to do it. In checking on the internet it's a problem that Dell had during the time I bought mine and they haven't addressed the problem. I downloaded something that kinda' helped in the sense that it charges once in a while. It's fustrating though!!

Gonna have to take this darn computer back to the dr again. I have viruses out the wazoo....lolol. I still use it, just don't send anything on it. I'll take it in on Monday so I'm not without it all weekend.

I'm thinking of looking at Mac's. I really don't know much about them except that you don't have to worry about viruses so I don't know. They are really expensive (for me) but I have some inheritance left. I wanted to use it for new flooring or a newer used car, so I don't know yet. Tired of taking it to the Dr. Any of you have Mac's?
