hi everyone...
can you tell me where I have to read any troubleshooting about installing & repairing CD ROM?, because I want to know everything about that and this site is very large, I have problem to find where are they, or at least I have index or direction where I have to klick, for each part of trouble shooting.
Thanks for any comments

For installing one, check the Topic Index link, at left on the main page.. It's a detailed index of everything on the site, or use the search link. I usually go for the topic index, because I normally know what I'm after, and how to find it. Takes a bit of browsing to get accustomed to the layout, but once you do you can go right to anyhting you want. It's set up just like the chapter listing in a book.

Troubleshooting, I don't have any good links, CD ROM drives aren't that difficult to troubleshoot, repair...not much repair either, except for the occasional cleaning of drive capstans.

Not many things can go wrong with CD ROM drives, first thing to do is usually remove (in Safe Mode) and reinstall, check jumpers and cables, then clean the capstans. If none of those work, replace it...Oh, and make sure it's set to autodetect in BIOS. That's about it...
