• DVD drive not seen by Windows 8

  I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 537 originally. The installed and functional DVD drive is a TSST DVD +-RW TS-H653G ATA drive.

  I have recently installed WIndows 8 in dual boot. When I boot with Windows 8, the DVD drive is not seen. When I go to the Device Manager and I look at the properties of the DVD player, I have the following message appears in the device status area (here I give a translation of the message in french)

  This device is not actually connected to the computer (Code = 45).

  To correct this problem, reconnect the device to the computer.

  The fact is that the DVD still works fine when starting with Windows 7.

  Do I need a new driver or a new device or what else?

• CD/dvd drive not detected by windows

  my reader of cd/dvd in my computer hp laptop dv6000 is not detected by windows. It is powered, both the BIOS and Device Manager detects it, but windows doesn't

  IM on Windows Vista Home Premium.
  I had this problem before and I managed to fix it by unplugging and reconnecting the Cd/dvd drive (nothing to lose, no more warranty), but after doing a system restore, the problem resurfaced again.

  The hard drive is a Toshiba MK1637GSX ATA Device
  I tried to use the pages of Microsoft support without success. I have no upper and lower filter.
  I already tried with also Device Manager nothing doesn't.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Please start from the top and do it, even if you've done it before as is often the
  all operations which solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack.

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• CD/DVD drive not recognized by Windows Vista

  I installed a suite of burningb of CD and DVD on my Toshiba (under Vista Home Premium). My CD/DVD drive appeared more in the computer and was no longer functional. I deleted the program I installed and apparently caused the problem, but it did not help. I have read through the help of Microsoft (929461, 314060) documents and used the Fix - It utility. Also unsuccessful. I discovered the response of Martin, the technical support engineer made on May 5, 2009. I followed his instructions with great success. However, my question now is this: I have still some remains of the problem left over. I get an error message at startup saying, 'InstaBurn UDF driver is not installed correctly. Run the InstaBurn installation program. ' InstaBurn is part of the suite of the copy (hotpics by Nova Development Corp.).  I also have an error message of my reader DVD Toshiba saying that the DVD player does not work - although it is. I played a DVD as a test on it after that I followed the instructions above. How can I remove these error messages annoying that aren't accurate?  Would appreciate any information about this minor - but annoying problem.

• CD/DVD drive not found in Windows 7

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545.  I did a clean install of Windows 7 (x 32 Edition) and since my drive CD/DVD is not found except in the BIOS and when I manually eject the drive it will pop up for a few seconds.  It's a TSST corp DVD +-RW T5 - L633B ATA Device.  Dell has released a driver for the problem, but as my computer can not find the drive it will not download the driver.  It will only appear in a few seconds Device Manager when I eject it, but then it disappears again and will not reappear unless I have the eject again.  When I put a disk it then the drive will show up but that's it.

  I tried deleting the upper and lower registry and I also tried the suggestion of integrity checks off without success.

• DVD drive not visible in Windows 7 after upgrade

  I'm having a problem with my "model of dvd burner super multi: GSA-T40N.» Was known to work on laptop with Vista installed. After reinstalling Vista on the new hard drive and set to upgrade to Windows 7 Enterprise cd player does not work.

  That's what I know
  The device is detected in the bios and I can boot from it
  The device is not viewable in the computer once windows starts
  I searched on several forums that link to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Hardware-and-Devices-troubleshooter
  -This has not solved the problem.

  Searched the registry and there no low filters, when I delete the upper filters, and then raise the same problem occurs. Restocking the upper filters but the there is no lower filter.

  Have tried to update the driver but Windows tell me that I am using the best driver.

  Has been showing in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark with error code 10 - the unit may not start. After removing the drive to find the manufacturer it now does not appear in Device Manager but have power to the player.

  Help! It is a older laptop and have just replaced the hard drive, don't want really to replace the dvd drive.

  Thank you.

  First, find and install the motherboard chipset and other system for your notebook device drivers. The installation of Windows and Windows Update disc are unlikely to have the best drivers for your laptop and can not have everything for all or part of your devices.

  Check your laptop specifications and make sure that you install Windows 7 drivers.

  The manufacturer of the laptop could have first Windows 7 drivers. There are probably later and better drivers available.

• DVD drive not recognized in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I managed to install Windows 7 on my Lenovo 3000 N200-0687-A11. I have a problem, my DVD drive is not detected at all (not shown in Device Manager) but I always open it and it is certainly detected in BIOS and also it can boot from the CD - the problem is that it is not detected in Windows 7.

  I think that an application will cause this problem
  -Nero

  -iTunes

  Any other ideas?

  Thank you

• Blu Ray drive not detected on Windows Explorer

  I recently formatted my laptop old, unused. It had Windows Vista Enterprise Edition before formatting. I replaced this with Windows 7 Ultimate (with integrated SP1) x 64 OS. I could get all the drivers for the laptop, but to my surprise, the Blu Ray DVD rom was not detected on the Windows Explorer!

  Think that Windows may have judged as a disc 'empty', I selected the option to display these empty drives but nothing happened. All I see on my computer is my main hard drive.

  I checked the Device Manager, but I did not see a tree menu to DVD/CDROM drives. I've repeatedly scanned for hardware changes, but Device Manager still couldn't get the Blu Ray player.

  I tried searching for information and I came across a thread that instructed me to find this registry key and delete the two folders namely "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" under the
  Input HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. This did not help at all since it does not "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" folder located under this key.

  Kind of weird, the DVD Rom works because the drawer opens every time I press the button open on the side of the road.

  He used to work before I formatted my laptop. Before formatting, I checked what driver was using the CDROM, I discovered that it was a virtual DTSOFT CDROM device. I tried to search for a driver, but failed to find one. I even tried resetting the BIOS by default settings, but still no luck.

  Can someone help me? Thank you very much!

  Hi Dann,

  Make sure that the Blu - ray player is correctly connected, because it is not visible in the Device Manager. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the connectors at both ends (mother card reader & Blu - ray).

  If the problem persists then I suggest you to check the status on another computer. To confirm that this isn't a problem with the hardware.

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue.

• Media card internal drive not seen by Windows 7 Pro 64

  The return of the story is this: my Dell Inspiron 546 recently dropped when the HARD drive failed terminally.  "Rather than replace the HD, I opted for the upgrade of ' with a refurbished desktop computer.  I'm done with a Dell Optiplex 760 MT, which I am very happy with.  He has a new 128 GB SSD mounted and I have a new 1 to Seagate Barracuda disk HARD ready to go in it, when I get a longer SATA data cable for it.

  In any case, I got a few pieces off the Inspiron to go in the Optiplex: memory card reader 2-4 GB of RAM, DVD - RW and media 3.5 "internal.  The RAM of works well (taking the system to a total of 6 GB).  The DVD - RW works fine (once I activated the SATA port in the BIOS).  However, the card reader does nothing.

  I plugged into a vacant USB connector on the motherboard, which has been marked something like "INT USB".  However, Windows doesn't see it, and it does not show in the Device Manager.  It's as if she is not there at all (no lights, nothing).

  This card reader worked fine on the Inspiron (which was an AMD Athlon 64 machine, but running Windows 7 it 32 b).

  Any ideas?  I had a glance through the BIOS and can't see anything obvious.  I assumed that being a USB device, it would just spring to life, but I do not.

  The fixed.

  First, to use the USB header, you should disable the "floppy" in the BIOS.  I tried this but it didn't work.  However, the service manual indicates before installing the drive, then I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted, you must disable the floppy.  I also disconnected and re connected the cable at the end of the drive.

  According to these fixed it, I don't know, but now it's the hunky dory, seen in the maps of Manager and reading of the device as it should.
