I have a hp dv1000 series laptop need help recovering

Yeh i have a hp dv1000 series and the cd rom drive not opening/working 'assuming the drivers isent working, cuz i have buyed another one and meh waste money skunt, it was the same problem' to load a new iso windows file and i tryed to load it on a usb drive to install from there but the computer dont seem to reconize it even if i did it correct, currently the computer comes on and has no os. any one have any sugestions?

 

it dont havve any usb option

 

those hps i think is lightscribe dvd drives ? i ran into this same problem with a similar laptop, to get it working i opened up the laptop casing and clean the contacts for the dvd drive using rubbing alcohol. replaced the drive n it worked fine after that . may not work for u but its worth a try

 

Download MicrosoftFixit.dvd.Run.exe, and that should fix the problem.

Is it detecting cdrom in bios? hp dv series are all problematic

 

the cd drive shud be plug and play simply, if ur replaced it u shud be able to plug it in and it works, even if the driver needs updating it will do it thru windows, but the drive will still work in bios etc, so make sure its connected right and it shud be working, unless the replacement drive is faulty too

 

you can take to best buy

 

that would be the worst thing to do, they charge an arm and a leg for simple fixes

 

yew could boot from the bios and tell it to boot from the usb drive by selection bios option by either pressing f10 or f2 to select a boot option then install the os you want using this program using this program : http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
