1. It could be just the cables. There's a way to plug them so that the drives can be detected...Originally posted by Negger:1) Cables loose... I tried with other cable le.. but cannot

2. Nah... hard disk technology are the same. If it can't be accepted... either your hard disk from the faulty computer is gone case, or you plug it in the wrong way. There's no way a computer can start without a hard disk. -
Ok... let me do some try with other cables then...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:1. It could be just the cables. There's a way to plug them so that the drives can be detected...

Or, if you have access to another com, place CD in its optical drive and use Alcohol to read the data in the disc into a disc image. Then just transfer that image to your lappie using thumbdrive or other media and use Daemon Tools to mount the image so that it appears like a real, physical CD on your laptop. -
I dun mind buying external one.Originally posted by LatecomerX:Buy external one lo.
But this one how u do? Re-phrase again, my english cmi.

No prob. Just treat me dinner if I ever see you on the streets.
Install the second com with Alcohol 120%. Trial or full or Captain Hook doesn't matter for now.

Insert the game disc into this com and open up the Image Making Wizard. Choose the appropriate datatype for the disc you want to be read, like for example, for Frozen Throne, you will need to use Securom 4 (it's some tech used to protect discs from piracy - didn't work that well anyway). Such info are usually found by Googling something like "alcohol [name of disc]". If you are still unsure, just use General (but this may result in a non-working disc image).

After extracting the disc data and saving the disc image somewhere, copy it to a thumbdrive and plug that into your laptop; copy the disc image over. Install Daemon Tools, which can "transform" disc images into physical discs. After installation, probably requiring a reboot, run the program and left-click on its taskbar on the bottom-right (the one that looks like the logo for PAP) and choose a drive to mount the image on. They will then ask you to browse for a file - select the disc image which you've just transferred. And the cliche "Voila!" comes in, when My Computer shows you a game disc in the virtual CD drive.

Regarding the Daemon Tools, get the X86 if your Windows is 32-bits/normal, X64 for 64-bits (duh). -
Looks very complicated. But anyway, gonna bring my laptop to acer hq to see if really can fix it back or not.
