OK I was in the process of reformatting my computer with the recovery cd's. I was half way through the first one. Now my cd rom drive is shot. I try to start my computer but its saying operating system not found. What can I do?? I do have a USB cd-rom drive if that's any help. Right now my laptop is just a big paperweight. I also tried pressing f-8 but no luck. Thank you all very much!! [email][/email] AIM: fp863
