That brings up another problem... my cd drive.. It also stopped working. The light is on, on the actual "HP Cd Writer/Reader", but the i think it like uninstalled itself... Its not even in the device manager... and when i scan for new devices it doesnt find the cd drive.. I was thinking it might be disconnected but then how could the light be on?

Also, when i format, will my cd drive automatically work?(if the problem wuz that it wuz disconnected and i reconnected it) or do i need to install a driver first?

Im gonna go look around now for some sites that can help...
