anoyn yea i could use that, but i dont' know his / her connection on the computer! cable? dsl? dialup? and there are other options as well, other than MSN to connect to his PC. but tyo use garne aja time cha! i still have a little bit more patience! HHEH

No there's no excalmination mark or any question mark, I've checked all those b4 i started this thread, now em done scanning right, what do i do next?

well, restary your machine! and then, try using your cd!
just to let you know i was helping you through spyware, not your cd problem! hehe

if it works, it works, if not, then we will get into that!
but now restart and see if your cd drive works!??

and who told'u to moo? im scared!

babypanda..... change ur computer...:P
hehe just kidding..
:P

nope, my cd drive still wont work :(:( urghh forget it..

hey, in the mean time i fixed your computer!

if you nkow me. hit me up on msn! i can connect thru your computer, if you allow!
if not, then re install the driver :D

Okay okay, I would allow if I only knew you or your msnnnn!

hmm...you dont! aww :)

So if I allow you the access to my computer, do you think yu'll be able ta fix my CD drive up or maybe know what the problem is?..

I checked this thread a little late but here are some recommendations for you for next time. When you want to format your harddrive and save here are the things you can do
1. Backup your data in another harddrive or burn it on a CD.
2. Format your harddrive, install the operating system, install patches and applications.
3. Restore the data.

You can always install a second copy on top of the existing OS but that will not fix the problem you are having. Once you run applications like spybot, adaware or hijack in safe mode this it will clean your spyware. You do not have to reinstall the operating system to get rid of the spyware. I am sure you are using antivirus programs and update it periodically.
Good luck trouble shooting.
