    Just bought the P200-RT2 notebook 4 days ago, and now I find out the DVD drive doesn't work.

    I know it was working fine because I play a DVD movie @ the first day of my purchase. I even use the dvd drive to re-install the Vista onto my new P200 notebook.

    Now whenever I go to the MY COMPUTER and click on the E:\ (which is my dvd drive), it pops up the dvd drive trap and ask me to insert CD. I tried to put in a CD/DVD in there, and click on the E:\ again, same thing happened, the drive trap popped out.

    Does anyone know if my DVD Drive really gone bad? Or maybe some kinda of vista update actually ruined my dvd drive?

    *I did uninstall the dvd drive driver from device manager and let it re-install again, same thing, didn't solve the problem.
