error check

my computer

right click primary drive (usually c)

properties

tools

top box error check

box pops up check both

click start/ok

will get message cant run know run next start up click yes/ok

(this will take awhile)

[i usually do it when i am going to do something else]

shutdown

restart

it will run on its own

but beware if you poke it too hard you may get a black eye

My internet at home isnt working, i think i need to reinstall the software for the modem to get it working.

Problem is, my CD/DVD drive doesnt seem to read any discs.

Could i hook up my old laptop somehow and use the drive in that, to reinstall the software?

I will be purchasing an external drive to use for the future, i was just hoping for a quick fix until i can get to the shops to buy one.



You can use a ethernet cord, but you will have to set both of them to work with it as a network.
