| 1168271 | 2011-01-09 04:17:00 | Doesn't it say a specific DLL filename? Sorry, just realised it lts.dl, not Its.dll i.e. it's an L not an I! I'll have a look for that. |

| 1168272 | 2011-01-09 04:38:00 | Is anyone able to tell me the best way to find and install the miossing lts.dll file, I found it on a few sites but most are registry fix software sites and I just want to be sure that I am only downloading what I need. Thanks |

| 1168273 | 2011-01-09 04:39:00 | Did you run system restore back to when it was working ? Thats what its for - you can muck about for ages trying to replace this or that file, change reg keys manually and get nowhere, where as restore has a better chance of fixing it. May not fix it, but wont hurt. |

| 1168275 | 2011-01-09 05:14:00 | I've tried running that but it won't install 'cos it says it's.dll is missing from my computer, and I've got no idea of what is missing to try and search/install to make it run :(. Do the manual reg edit it talks about on that page. |

| 1168276 | 2011-01-09 05:34:00 | The first thing I would try is to put a boot CD (installation disc, Linux etc) into the "missing" drive and see if it boots. If it does, this will show that the drive is seen by Bios and is in working order. If it doesn't, go into Bios and check if its there and if it is set 1st Boot. Then I would go into Windows 7, Start, Administrative tools, computer management, disk manager. See if the drive has a letter allocated to it, if not, right click on that drive and allocate a letter to it. I have had this problem before with W7. I usually set the CD/DVD to Z, keeps it out of the way. |

| 1168277 | 2011-01-09 05:34:00 | Do the manual reg edit it talks about on that page. It only talks about reg edit for Vista or XP, I'm running Windows 7 and it doesn't give any steps for reg edit for windows 7. |

| 1168278 | 2011-01-09 06:06:00 | It will be the same as vista. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1168279 | 2011-01-09 06:25:00 | Try this, Click start, type in CMD - RIGHT click in in the results / Run as administrator - when it opens, type in sfc /scannow <press Enter> once finished, reboot, see if th drive is there or still missing. | wainuitech (129) | ||

It won't boot from the disk, it doesn't recognise the disk, I changed the order to boot from the dvd drive first but it still bootd from the hard drive. |
