I recently purchased an Averatec 6250 laptop with XP Home installed. When I upgraded to OS to XP Pro, Windows stopped recognizing the CD/DVD ROM drive. This laptop is set up so that the DVD player will run independently of the computer, but I don’t know if that is a factor in my problem. I couldn’t find a driver for this device anywhere on the web.
Anyway, I called their tech support and they insisted that the laptop will only run with XP Home and that there is no driver for XP Pro.
Does this make sense to anyone else?
Did I buy a pig in the poke?
