Bought this laptop on ebay. Has no floppy section but does have a DVD ROM drive. So I pop in a DVD-R in the hope of copying some files I have made in excel and stored in the old lap. Screen displays "insert CD into drive." Well I have done that. Try a DVD+ RW and same screen answer. What's up with this?
A second question. I put windows 2010 on this old lap since it was empty of software. Can an earlier version be added or do I have to "uninstall the 2010." I am only allowed three installs of 2010 and would hate to crash it if not necessary. Was thinking of trying to put the freeware "Open Office" on it or some earlier stuff. Thanks.
