S205 drive D: & DVD issues

Question

Hello,
Recently I started having issues with my Ideapad S205. I got a malware program that tried to force me to buy their software to remove it. In the process of trying to get rid of the problems it caused, I decided to use the Lenovo recovery key. The only option it gave me, was to go to the initial setup. Like a dummy I clicked on that and was taken back to day one. I subsequently found out that my back up partition did not work and I could not alter it so that it would work. I get constant error messages that I don't have enough room for a backup.
My other issue is that I purchased the Lenovo DVD/CD player, and it worked fine for a while. Now when I try to install software or load a music file, It won't proceed after the initial spin up and disk content window. The only thing I have been able to do with it, is to view a backup photo disk that I made some time ago.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe

Hello Yigit,
I just hooked my Lenovo USB portable DVD burner model DB50, up to my Lenovo desktop and ripped a music CD (something it would not do with the Ideapad), and it worked fine.
As far as the D: drive, here is what it says when you go to the "manage windows backup space " folder.
Data file backup      4.51GB
System Image     15.38 GB
Other files               1.60 GB
Free space             7.51 GB
Total size              29.00 GB
When I click on the "Change settings", I can click on "Let windows manage the space" or "Keep only the latest image", and it doesn't make any difference. If I "select a backup period to delete" it only shows the 4.51 GB data file as an option. I can click "refresh" and the next time it tries to do a backup, I'll get the same error message.
My gut feeling is that there are some corrupted driver files, but trying to find the right files on the Lenovo website to download is like trying to find a precise grain of sand on the beach, at least for me.
Thanks for your assistance.
