something is wrong with my Cdrom and DVD drive....I can view some stuff on
the DVD, but thinik those drives are corrupted...I put in a back up disk that
I normally read, but now I put it in the CD Rom drive and I get a message,
"please insert disk" even after I inserted it and I am unable to read the
back up disk. I then put in a photo disk, remove it and then when I go into
he cdrom drive WITHOUT ANY DISK IT IN, THE PHOTO SHOWS UP AND WHEN i TRY TO
DELETE IT, A MESSAGE SAYS,
A READ-ONLY DISK CANNOT BE DELETED... HELP
 
Thank you for indicating a reboot...I tried it a few times and the problem
still exists. I have CD roms that came with the computer, Dell,XP...to list
them:
Application for reinstalling Dell Tools system software
contents-antivirus software,support software, multimedia software, internet
software-Drivers and Utilities,Dell Dimension resource CD.contents, device
drivers,diagnostic and utiliities, computer documentation....ALSo have power
DVD disk says "supported operating systems: windows XP, which I have...But
AFRAID TO INSTALL ANY OF THESE, BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING
AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANYTHING ON MY HARD DRIVE AS I DO A LOT OF RESEARCH
ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR TRYING TO HELP MY BLIND SON.....ANY ADVICE WILL BE
APPRECIATED
