Frustration

Hello!

I am very frustrated right now. I downloaded Windows7, expecting it to be this amazing program. I just got this new Samsung laptop at the end of August (after having my Toshiba Satellite for 4 years) and with it came Windows Vista. It took a little while to figure out how to use it, but I got the hang of it and wondered why everyone complained about it so much. Anyways, I watched the demo for Windows 7 when they first announced it and I was pretty excited. So I finally received the program in the mail last week, installed it this weekend...and my CD/DVD drive doesn't work! I pop a CD into the drive...and nothing happens. It worked for awhile (I was able to re-install my anti-virus program), and now nothing happens! It was working perfectly fine before I installed this new operating system. So, I've been trying to re-update the damn thing...but it's not reading the disc!! So I'm really frustrated.

But I have options! I've been looking online for solutions (none of them have worked) and I still have the option of going to Futureshop and having them look at it (I just bought this laptop in August!) or calling Samsung and being like WTF. So all is not lost. I should have just spent the extra money and gotten a Macbook...but I've never used one before, and that's kind of scary. The specs on this Samsung were really good, especially for the price $899.00, so I'm really disappointed right now. Then again, I was reading the forums and alot of people have been experiencing this problem. So I'm not alone!! I hope I can figure this out soon though. I promised one of the girls in the group home that I'd burn her a copy of the New Moon soundtrack, so she'll be super upset and disappointed if I show up without it...not to mention my goal is for her to feel comfortable enough around me that she'll feel like she's able to talk to me. So, wish me luck!!

Thanks for reading!
