I have tried to find my drivers on the HP site and I just don't see them. My DVD drives are: 'Lite-on DVD+RW SOHW - 8025' and 'IDE - DVD ROM 16x I have downloaded others and, as suspected, the installation fails. Marvin NOTE: In the past I have been able to fix problems with 'BART', etc., however without the DVD I am handicaped.

The 'Repair' is an option on the on the Micrsoft Windows XP Media Center OS disk. HP just gives you support disks that offer 'Restore option only (you lose al of your application program setups with 'Restore'. I have never had to resort to a total restore - I have always been able to fix things till now. Marvin

I hope this the proper way to reply to the nice peole that offered help. The reason I did the repair: It seemed like a good idea since the system has been in operation for 2 years. The system was complaining via dialog boxes about different issues. I had no idea that I would open up all the 'cans of worms'. Marvin

I have a HP m1080n Media Center computer. I thought I did a successful 'Repair', using non-proprietary CD'. The CD/repair was successfully reactivated during the 'Repair. My problems started when I noticed I had no DVD drives shown in my file manager. Then I found that I had no 'Safe Mode' (F8) available. There are no USB drives, also. The USB wireless mouse and keyboard work OK. I was able to see one of my DVD' when I deleted it in the Device manager and it automatically reinstalled itself, however the DVD drive is no working. The BIOS shows all the devices mentioned above properly, however, the problems go on and on. Help would be greatly appreciated. Marvin
