    I had a problem with my blu ray drive it was being detected so i took it to the dealer and they replaced for me under warranty, now when my laptop sees m drive in the device manager and disk management, but whenever i put a cd in it, and i try to open it, it will give me an access denied error and the drive will disappear from My Computer if i eject the disc but will remain visible in device manager.

    Now I wanted to factory restore the laptop, but I cannot use any recovery discs because of this problem and when I press F9 it will give me options to repair or restore from a previous restore point or an image ive created which i didnt, and now I cant restore my laptop too :( what can i do now?

    if you can find a widnows 7 or vista disk you could do an installation without a product key which would give your 30 days to evaluate.. then use the evaluation copy to burn the recovery disk..

    you can do this all off a thumbdrive (google search installing windows from thumb drive), no need to burn it to disk
