External is the only way to go on this unit. Check www.officedepot.com or www.ebay.com . Should be less than $50. You could try ebay but the shipping will probably be $10...Just plug into one of the USB ports and you are good to go.

What Year & Model is your computer.?

The answer is littil srange, there is a very small hole on CD-Drive, bush a needel gently in the hole 1-3or 4 times and it wiil eject by itself

You can down it from any site on the web without any need to a CD_Drive

http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=W-Series&model=W3080

this is the manual from the emachines site. reboot is just restarting the computer.

Based on the one and only specs sheet I could find for this model of emachine, it does have a DVD-ROM drive. So in theory it can. Does the unit play DVD Movies? if yes then it should work, try rebooting and then putting the disc in again. I assume the disc is clean and scratch free as the game is new.

If the OS on your computer has ever been reinstalled, you may be missing the driver for the drive, in which case windows would treat it as a generic CD-ROM drive, and not be able to read DVDs, you can get the drivers for the drive from the emachines website if this is the case.

in most cases the rubber band that opens the tray breaks and needs to be replaced to get your cd out there is a small pin hole at the froint of the cd tray push a small pin into it and the tray will open to allow you access to the disc the take the player appart and replace the drive belt just at the front



best of luck

Look on the mother board for a ribbon connector.. double row of pins.. Some boards will have a legacy connector. If not.. you can buy an adaptor to connect IDE CD to board,

BUT.. for about the same cost, you can buy a cheap new CD-DVD RW - burner.. probably with far better peformance than an old one. About $25 should do it.

Welcome to Fixya

Please see procedure below on how to create recovery disk. Let me know if smae thing will happen.

1

Click the "Start" icon on the Windows Vista home screen. Select "eMachines," then click "eMachines Recovery Management." The eMachines Recovery Management program opens.

2

Click "Create Factory Default Disc." The program will tell you how many discs you will need. Make sure the correct optical drive is selected, then insert a blank disc into that drive. Click "Start" to begin the burning process.

3

Remove the disc when it is finished burning and label it "Recovery CD 1." Insert the next the next blank disc if one is required. Click "OK" to begin burning the next disc. Repeat this step until all of the discs have been created and labeled. Close the eMachines Recovery Management program, insert the system CD that came with the laptop and restart the laptop.

4

Press "F12" repeatedly when the eMachines logo is displayed on the screen to be redirected to the Boot menu. Select the optical drive, then press "Enter."

5

Insert Recovery CD 1 when you are prompted to insert the recovery disc. The eMachines Recovery Management program will open.

6

Click the "Restore" tab in the list on the left side of the eMachines Recovery Management program window, then select "Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults." The computer automatically restarts and the recovery process begins. Insert any additional recovery discs as requested. The computer will reboot automatically when the laptop has been recovered to its original factory default settings, and you will be taken to the Windows Setup screen.

7

Set up Windows Vista with your own personal settings.
