A100: Can't see my CD/DVD drive

I uninstalled an unknown version of a program called Daemon tools (earlier this year) one never since my cd-RW/dvd drive has always been does not appear in my computer as if I did not at all a cd/dvd drive!

I still need to acsess my C drive and any other device I have plugin via USB or whateva. But when I start my laptop, only 1 time in 4 or if my CD-RW/DVD drive appears.
If I put a CD or DVD in the drive when the icon is not in my computer, nothing happens, and I have not found a solution.
How can I get my CD/DVD combo drive to work whenever I start?
-J' have Priofessional of Windows XP service pack 2 Version 2002
-J' have a program called ' drag ' n drop CD + DVD "like burning software.
-My computer is a Toshiba A100 with pentium m 1.4 ghz, 496 MB of ram.

I can't find anything to do with cd/dvd players or drivers in Device Manager. They have completely disappeared. I can't install this again as a "new hardware" because the computer can not find. Maybe I should find a program on the net that can reset my drivers or sumething? My cd/dvd drive does not at all now.

Any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

Hi Matthew,

I'm not familiar with the program Daemon Tools, but the loss of the CD/DVD drive is a known problem when deleting some portable software you.

The Microsoft Knowledge Base has several artocles on the problem and how to solve it.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

I deleted the upper and lower filters in the registry, uninstalled the drive, reinstalled the drive, the drivers updated, physically removed the drive from the computer and check the connector, everything looks ok. Is the drive itself bad? If so, why then I see it in my computer. I ran a few fix his well they say they fixed the drive sucssefully it is still a problem, and it still does not work. I'm not a big fan of Vista OS, less than one become today!

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Hello

    Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
    But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

    Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported
    Check it out
    If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

    In addition, you can buy a player of an ASP supported in your country
    The guys would be able to order it at Toshiba if necessary.

  • Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

    Hello

    the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

    Thank you

    Luke

    Hello

    Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

    It s already installed when you plug it in.

  • New image a XP machine: you can do it without a DVD drive?

    The DVD drive is unusable for a long time.  The computer has no other disks. The computer don't boot-it lost power during disk scan and is now toast.  I have the operating system CD and a CD to restore more.  So, how can I re - image?

    Well, it's much more promising.

    You can reinstall a USB (see below) or create a bootable USB key with the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /R (Recovery Console also has tools to fix the boot.ini file and of Master Boot Record, but it is not obvious that you should do this).  Do a recovery USB Console--> http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=pfwc&cp=22&gs_id=2e&xhr=t&q=xp+recovery+console+usb&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=xp+recovery+console+us&aq=0&aqi=g4&aql=f&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2, or.r_gc.r_pw & fp = fc1f175dc4ba964c & biw = 1024 & bih = 649

    As the computer starts, before it is for files scrollbar (these are messages on the various loading files), you should see a message at the bottom of the screen that says something like "to change system settings, press .  The key can vary depending on the brand of your computer.  Press - while the message on the key shows - and you must enter the BIOS configuration utility.

    If your computer is able to boot from a USB device (more computer, less likely, it is), you should be able to reorder the boot devices.

    There are a number of Web sites that have instructions to do a XP install from a USB key.  I did not successfully myself so I can't recommend one over the rest.  See http://liliputing.com/2009/08/easiest-way-to-install-windows-on-a-netbook-with-a-usb-flash-drive.html

  • Why I can't find my CD/DVD drive anywhere in my computer?

    I know that I could not use my drive for awhile now because of this problem, and it gets really annoying. Somehow, my CD/DVD drive is completely absent from my laptop. It is not displayed in my computer, the Manager of devices, even in the BIOS, or other programs (Itunes, WMP, same Disc Creator). I don't know how this could be, as the Player opens perfectly fine (lights come one) and a disc rotates when I insert it, even if nothing is accessible from the laptop. I removed the drive from the laptop to see if it were to be resettled or anything, but it still doesn't work. The connection should work if the lights and the work surface. And for some reason, my laptop (which is unbearably slow) is incredibly faster, especially when it starts, as Windows starts without the CD/DVD drive in the laptop in about 20 seconds, compared to less than 5 minutes. I ran all kinds of "Fix - Its" Microsoft, and none of them does not work, tried to delete the upper and lower filters (I don't have a low filters for some reason any) and run all sorts of other programs to try to solve this problem. I don't know if reinstall Windows (and, as a result, pilots) can help, but in any case I have my CD/DVD isn't working. I tried also to proffer a virtual drive with MagicISO and research of new material from the virtual drive in the device without success Manager. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
