• 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.

• 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.

• USB drive not detected on Windows 7, 4 GB RAM.

  I tried to apply the KB976972 fix suggested by microsoft, but the update he says not this OS.

  I tried all supported x 64 versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: Windows6. 1-KB976972-x 64.msu, but the update said it is not for this OS. My system says that my OS is 64-bit.

  It might be useful to take your USB drive to a friends or family member and just checked on another computer to see if works on their computer. If this does not work on other machines, it could be the casing of the drive or the disk itself that has become defective. MyPcHealth - free tools

• Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

  OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

  My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

  The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

  I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

  After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.

• External hard drive not detected in Windows 8

  I just bought a Dell XPS 13, running Windows 8.

  I have two external hard drives from LaCie.

  Disc 1 is used with a Lenovo X120e running Windows 7.

  Disc 2 has two partitions, exclusively for my Macbook Pro running 10.9.5 and the other smaller partition is used to move files between Lenovo and the Macbook.

  When I connect Drive 1 to the XPS 13, nothing happens. It is not turn nor it appears in Device Manager.

  If I turn it on to Lenovo, it works very well.

  When I connect Drive 2 to the XPS 13 (to the same USB port and using the same cable), he turns and is detected.

  If the port is working, pilots work, cable works and Drive 1 works when connected to the Lenovo running Windows 7.

  How can I get the XPS 13 to recognize Drive 1? There must be a way to do this without formatting again.

  Thank you.

  The drive is visible in the BIOS or the mode without failure on the XPS 13?

  You can also try to paginate the connection of the power supply in the drive that works.

  Hello

  If you plug a USB device into a host machine when you run a Mac OS X 10.5.5 virtual machine on which USB 2.0 support is disabled the virtual machine might fail. In this situation, VMware Fusion displays the message of the appliance could not connect to its ideal host controller when you connect the USB device and displays the message that the CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system when you click OK to close the previous message.

  In this case, go to the control panel of USB devices on the settings for this virtual machine window, and then select enable USB 2.0 support.

• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 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.

• HP v125w 2 GB drive flash not detected by windows

  My flash drive is not detected by windows what should I do

  I have a HP v125w 4 GB flash drive that works on Windows 2000 and 7.  However, I also have a disk 16 GB flash of v125w HP which works on Windows 7, but was not recognized by my system Windows 2000.  Here's what I did to get Windows 2000 to recognize (this may not work for everyone, but it did for me).

  I plugged the flash drive to 16 GB on a Windows 2000-based USB port and ran:

  Norton SystemWorks-> Norton Utilities-> find and correct problems->

  Norton Disk Doctor-> diagnosis

  that gave me the message:

  Insert the diskette to diagnose in the E: drive.

  So, I ejected the flash player, it plugged into the USB port and you click on diagnose again.

  Norton Disk Doctor consulted the flash drive, diagnosed and gave the following report:

  There is no problem detected on drive E:
  Partition table... Jump
  Structures of files... Ok
  Surface test... Jump

  After this, the flash player was working fine on my Windows 2000 and Windows 7 computers.

  Thus, this procedure is awakened somehow the reader as much as to be recognizable by Windows 2000.  I hope this helps you.
