So i bought a new laptop (Vaio VGN-N365E) and i installed Alcohol 120 and it crashed my laptop (vista didnt support it, should have read up on it...) so i did a restore and tried Daemon tools, it didnt crash my computer. Been using daemon tools for the last month till i realized that daemon tools deleted my disk drive. I go under the device manager and it shows up, but it shows up with a yellow exclamation point...tried uninstallings...disabling...updating drivers...nothing responds. I tried doing a system restore but that keeps freezing on me...so what im wondering is....what do i do...is it fixable...? Any help is appreciated..thank you.

sounds like Alcohol 120 or daemon tools has messed with your system. i use daemon tools never had a problem but i know that both use a driver to emulate a cd drive. not sure about about why your system restore doesnt work but its probablly unrelated. try the support forums for both there had got to be other people who have had similar problems and fixed it, also try googling it. If all else fails it may be time for a full system restore from the vaio restore discs
