Laptops have removable Hard Drives, removable CD/DVD Drives, etc... Try
making sure your disks are seated properly, or that you should reseat
them. .Net has nothing to do with it.
The D600 has a cheap case, and is somewhat fragile, make sure that
everything is reseated firmly, rub the top of the case and say
"ahhhhhhm, ahhhhhhm, ahhhhhhhm, zoooogggggggg" and then reboot it : )
