How to Repair the CD-ROM Driver on eMachines

The eMachine is a Windows-based computer.

eMachine is a Windows-based computer company owned by Gateway. As with all other computer systems, an installed CD-ROM drive needs a driver installed. This driver informs the computer how to handle and read information in the CD-ROM. However, if the CD-ROM's drivers are acting up and the eMachine is failing to detect any CDs you insert into the disc drive, you need to repair the current CD driver.

Instructions

1. Open the Internet browser and navigate to eMachines.com (see "References").

2. Select "Customer Care," then click the "Drivers and Downloads" link in the middle of the page.

3. Choose the kind of computer you are running (notebook, or desktop), then select the product line and finally the model type.

4. Choose the operating system you are running, then click the driver download for the CD-ROM drive on the computer. Wait momentarily as the driver installs onto the computer.

5. Double-click the download driver, then follow the prompts of the installation wizard to install the new, functioning driver. Restart the computer and the CD-ROM drive on the eMachine computer is now ready for use.
