    So, my friend's PC has been acting up lately, we fixed a few problems yesterday and it was working fine today. Then later when he booted it up, it came up with automatic repair for his drive, and it kept saying automatic repair failed. It wouldnt let him boot to windows, not even through safe mode. He had a USB that had Windows Media Installation to reinstall windows, but it just brought up a red bar on the top of his screen. We tried a few things in command prompt such as chkdsk, sfc /scannow and bootrec, but none of those accomplished anything. We also tried resetting the drive in every way possible, but it came up with reset failed. Also tried to switch boot mode in BIOS, and that did nothing.

    Optical Drive Issue

    Hello Anak –

    Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

    Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

    Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
    Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
    Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

    So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

    What do you think?

    JerryA

    Optical Drive Issue

    Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

    Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:

    I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

    I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.
