BIOS and Device Manager see terabyte but computer shows NO disc

Similar Questions

• Hard drive shows in the Bios and Device Manager but not in disk management.

  I recently had a hard drive fail because of the excessive heat in the computer case (he also took a memory too). When I plug the drive as a secondary drive in any computer it will appear in the Bios and the Manager of devices, but not in disk management, nor can it be considered be as ZAR and Spinrite disk utility.

  The disc spins up and down when turned on and seems to work. Just trying to recover data from the disk, so I can put it on a new drive.

  Any ideas?

  If its not shown in disk management I would use this bootable HD to the utility check disk (probably all riders is set correctly?)

• CD-ROM drive detected in BIOS and Device Manager but not Explorer or lag when you click

  The last time I tried to use my CD player, it worked very well. I recently got a game perfect state (checked on other computers, so it's good), and I can't install it because of the CD player.

  Already, it is detected by the BIOS and in Device Manager it's all updated with all its drivers and no yellow triangles.

  The rare opportunity that explore (thus, libraries in my case but nevertheless explorer.exe) fact feel the drive, I click on it and explore lagging until I opened the player and then I get the message "no disc in the drive (bah, I just opened the thing after you moved for hours)" I went to explore running for some time and eventually he listed things that were ready to write on a disk, not to read.

  Most of the time traveller feeling even the reader, even though Device Manager and BIOS a. Mr. Fix - It does not work either. They just keep running with nothing doesn't.

  On a side note, autorun does not start or when I put in the drive, so windows does not read the disc. The drive works perfectly as I see the LED flashes very quickly and spins the disc.

  Hello Izy - H,

  The CD/DVD drive may disappear if it has installed third-party filters. I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.

  Method 1:

  You can also try to remove the filters manually:

  a. Click Start and then click all programs.

  b. click Accessories and then click Run.

  c. type regedit, and then click OK, if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click on allow.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  e. in the right pane, click UpperFilters.

  Note: You may also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You don't have to delete this entry. Click UpperFilters. If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you may still have to delete the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step h.

  f. in the Edit menu, click on delete.

  g. When prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

  h. in the right pane, click LowerFilters.

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

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  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.

  Hope this information is helpful

• Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

  Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

  Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

  1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
  2. Remove the DVD writer.
  3. Restarting the laptop.
  4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
  5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
  6. Closing.
  7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

  On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

  What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

  I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

  "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

  I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

  I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

  Nikki,

  You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

  To do:
  -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
  -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
  -Click on device high Managerin left
  -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
  -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

  BTW that dog rox in this avitar

  See you soon! MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

  Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

  Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/e3701d75-9dbe-4ae9-9d70-83f14129247c?Prof=required

  What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

  IDE channel (x 4)

  Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

  Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

  Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

  Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

  The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

  in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

  This is the information I have:

  HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

  Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560 ATA Device

  Vista Home Premium

  Service Pack 2

  Thanks again for any help.

  Hello
   
  1. do you have the software installed on the computer of CD/DVD burning?
   
  Check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
  Check ' BIOS: frequently asked questions ": http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions
  Step 1: We also recommend to uninstall the CD/DVD burning software, if you have everything installed, restart the computer and check the result.
  Scan for the device in Device Manager. To do this, try the following steps.
  1. click on start, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.
  2. click on one of the items in the list, click the Action menu and click Scan for hardware changes.
  3. check if the CD/DVD is displayed.
  
  For more assistance on this, contact the manufacturer of the laptop.
   
  Kind regards

• cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

  I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

  iOS block report because of the third-party application, I answered and they managed remotely on the computer, now I know it's a scam, I turned off and reset the password, I'm in the clear?

  If you allowed anyone remote access to your computer (and you're talking about a computer since you mentioned iOS which is the OS for iDevices; computers run on Mac OS X), while no one knows what they were able to install. Assume the worst and:

  Notify your credit card company / bank of potential fraud

  Change your bank accounts and report your fly/fraud credit card

  Change all of your passwords

  And, finally, erase your entire hard drive and reinstall the OS from scratch using recovery or your original installation disks.

• My CD/DVD drive does not read and is therefore no longer is visible on my computer, the BIOS or Device Manager.

  I just realized when inserting a CD, he has not read. I havn't he used in awhile, so it can't just happen. When I insert the CD you can hear it spin and green light flashes, but after about 10-15 seconds it stops and the light goes out. Under 'My Computer', I see more player. I don't see the driver CD/DVD option in my Device Manager menu longer, and I do not see it in the BIOS. I have a HP Pavilion Labtop.

  Since it is not recognized in the BIOS, which means that the reader could have failed, there is a possible cable or
  problem of controller or other hardware problems.

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

  If you can get it to be recognized in the BIOS and it still doesn't work, maybe these will help.

  You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
  DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
  that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

• DVD drive has disappeared from my computer and Device Manager lists

  The machine is an Acer laptop with a single disc DVD - RW Win Vista Home Premium 32 running with all the latest updates installed.

  I have not installed anything new (software or hardware), I know.

  The other day the player just stopped working and is no longer registered to each workstation or in the Device Manager list.

  While they inspected the system event logs there is a chain of...

  Event 7026 - the next (s) starting or starting system could not load:

  CDROM

  and...

  Event 11 atapi - driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort2.

  Event 9 atapi - the device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not within the time limit.

  Event 11 atapi - driver has detected an error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 controller.

  I know that the drive itself works well because when I initially turn on the laptop I can hear the drive spin upward and I'm able to eject the drawer, so there the power etc... but once in Windows the drive does not work or even appear anywhere.

  So far, I have tried.

  1. detection of new hardware in Device Manager

  2 - installing all IDE channels and let the system reinstall after re-booting

  3 running the Microsoft Fixit tool, it seems to point out that there is a problem and said fixed it, but nothing is actually fixed by that

  I noticed a few other posts which look similar to mine, but had trouble understanding if they truly are or not.  So apologies if this is a repeat of something already posted.

  OK tried the fixit tool still once, was not aware there were different tools for different issues.  I have the wrong tool launches the first time round.

  Anyway, the drive is still on holiday somewhere, fixit tool reports that it may not detect the drive at all, so that seems to indicate that he does not drive connected.

  Is it possible that the IDE cable has come off the promenade inside the laptop?  I hope that not because I just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure how to get to where the Player connects, but seems almost impossible... can get to all the rest, keyboard and screen disconnected, RAM, disk HARD etc, but the DVD player, not a hope!

  Looks like I'll take it to a service somewhere I guess.

• Device Manager see the some articles several times

  Device Manager displays multiple instances of the same device.  This is supposed to happen, and if they are unique, how can I say to the other?   Here is a list of some of the features that appear more than once in the Device Manager

  Thanks for any idea that you can offer,

  Hi danno2cu2,

  · Do you remember any changes made on your computer before the show?

  · What is the devices that are listed in several instances of work?

  · Are there error codes listed in the Device Manager?

  This can be a reason of the ghost devices that were previously installed and that can be displayed or also if the installation of the device has failed previously.

  You can have a look on the links of shot.

• Wireless network lack of connections, network and Device Manager

  Good day, all the

  Recently I had to install a new hard drive and Windows 7 in my laptop VAIO from Sony, model VPC-F1290X, after my previous a corrupt laptop taking a fall. The installation went well, except that my WLAN capabilities are missing. The switch is in on it, of course, but the only option that appears is the Bluetooth. I checked to see if the icon for the network was present in network connections, so I could right click and activate, but it is absent. I also went into Device Manager to see if he would appear if I clicked on 'Show hidden devices', and I also tried to search for the hardware changes. All my drivers are up to date, and since then, I have installed all Windows updates. It has been a little over a month since the installation and I put the problem side and just continued to use the laptop with an ethernet cable. Now that the need emerged for a wireless connection, I can't seem to find a solution, and I found someone who is fully experiencing or has experienced a similar situation. All tracks to the installation of an adapter wireless from the Sony Web site seem to be oriented with a desktop computer.
  Any help or advice to an answer would be greatly appreciated.
  Kind regards
  Ryan

  You have installed the driver from the manufacturer of your laptop wireless?
