I have a sony vaio laptop operating on Windows ME. The hard disk failed I installed another which is recognised in the BIOS. Looking at the boot set up it shows the hard drive and removeable items in blue which you can activate or deactivate. The cd rom is shown in white and cannot be activated. Do I need a new cd drive Charles Isles
