Answer 1

With this there are a few alternative options that I have to offer.
The first option is to try to do a file recovery of the deleted files.
Check your recycle bin to see if they are still there and if they are
then right click on the files and select the restore option.

If your recycle bin was recently empied you might be able to
recover the files using a file recovery program on your computer
if you have one or find a websight that offers file downloads
and get the drivers for your DVD drive from the websight.

If the modem drivers have also been lost you can install the
device drivers to a zip drive and download it from the zip drive

If you don't have a zip drive port you can remove the hard drive
from your computer and install it to another computer as a
second hard drive and then copy the files from the primary
hard drive(Master) to the secondary hard drive(Slave)
or use the hard drive from another computer to install into
your computer to do the same thing.

another option is if you have another drive on your computer
that works you can use that drive to install the driver information for the other drive.

What ever you decide to do I wish you good Luck!!!

Answer 2

You have to be SO careful uninstalling products.

The best thing, if it JUST happened is to use the System Restore Feature. It's usually good for a couple of days.

u pick to press F9 on startup so u can choose the externalpersistent as well from. the internalpersistent is at the moment set as ur first bootpersistent in BIOS. that would get replaced if u pick to modify it completely - yet no pick for that reason.
