a added note that just may help also !?!?
whenever i replaced a cd,my machine had trouble
recognizing the new replacement.

the fix was to,remove the old cd=> go through the bios setup,
and full system start-up,then shut down windows,un-plug
the power supply,attach the newer cd=>plug in power supply,
turn machine on,=>run bios setup again.

for some strange reason this has worked for me 99%
of the time.On other machines i could just replace the cd
run bios setup and all would workjust fine,
rather than remove cd,run bios,add new cd,run bios setup again.

ps.---replace you bios battery,and reapply thermal heat sink compound
