doctorman Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Ok I started this thread and I am closing it now I included all the info I could to 1st post for others .. so hope it helps... if you have HP laptop most probably it is under Lite-On technology and the newer laptops automatically change booktype to DVD ROM
