| 1168282 | 2011-01-09 06:30:00 | 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. Always possible the drive has died. Dont spose you have another Drive you can plug in to test.? Does the CD you tried to boot from, boot from any other PC ( if you have another) ? |

I guess it's possible, it was working fine this morning and the gree light still flashes when you put a disk in, it just doesn't seem to exist anywhere. I don't have another drive, my old XP computer died a complete death a few weeks ago, so don't have another drive or another pc to test. |

| 1168286 | 2011-01-09 18:50:00 | Well I turned my PC on this morning and the disk drive was back, very strange as I had been rebooting it after every solution I tried yesterday and it didn't work. And yet it was fine and back to normal this morning! Thanks again to everyone who tried to resolve the issue for me. |
