I bought a used Compaq Presario 1234 laptop online, yea I know, dumb move for a non-tech type person. Well needless to say, now that I have it, I have a problem. The cd-rom drive fell right out of it when I got it. It's a Toshiba, I thought no big thing...right. I had a computer person put it in, and well the damn thing doesn't work. I can't even get it to open. Now I find that there isn't even a D drive installed into the computer. The system tells me to re-install Windows 98, so I got a floppy of WIN 98 and tried to reinstall it, then it says that there is no working D drive so it can not proceed. I need to find a cd rom drive for this system that isn't going to cost me hundreds of bucks. The whole system cost me less than $200, well now I know why. I tried to call compaq, and they said that they will only sell me a CD-RW, DVD rom thing for $330. Heck no. So ebay it is,? but I can't find out what the product number is for a compaq cd rom drive, or what else is compatible like the Toshiba models ect. I don't need name brand that's for sure, just one that works. Someone please help me, I'm not a computer tech in the least, I just don't want to get ripped off again! :hotbounce
