Your solution looks very attractive, BrownPolar, but I belong to those people who do not know how to span a laser head. I just completed a full recovery of the C en D drives, but that did not bring my CD-writer back to life. (Playing DVD's is no problem). After the system recovery I had to reinstall my printer and other programs, but for that I had to insert the original discs in the diskdrive! How did other people solve this problem? The only thing I knew to do is to buy an external drive to handle my disks. The laptop requires more than one lap now to be topped on...

I want to do the system recovery, but before I loose everything: can anybody tell me how I can copy my Mozilla Thunderbird emails and addressbooks to an external device?

The CD-DVD driver in my VAIO PCG K315Z does not recognize a CD any more, so I cannot play a CD, and I cannot burn a CD. It is, maybe, the problem that Microsoft Windows XP has with some software in Service Pack 2, e.g. some Adobe applications. www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/328585.html gives a solution. I found in Http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883523 a website in Dutch describing the problem of the not recognized rewritable-station in Windows XP Service Pack 2. There must be one in English too. Microsoft offers a supporting hotfix, which is not tested yet 100%.
Did anyone of you contact Microsoft Product Support Services to get the hotfix?
