• 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.

• Certain files and folders are not detected by Windows Explorer (XP).

  I created 15 files in a folder on a shared network drive, associated with another computer. My computer is running XP x 64 v. 2003 SP2, and the computer server (the one with the shared drive) has v.2002 XP Pro (32-bit) SP3.  When I open the folder in Windows Explorer I see only 12 folders. When I tried to rename one of the 12 visible files to match the name of one of the 3 missing files I get an error (file exists!). What is all too weird, when I select all and delete 12 deleted records and previously missing 3 appears.

  Has also had a similar problem with entire folders. The Explorer does not see the folder but when I create a shortcut by typing the path of the folder manually and click on the shortcut, the name of the file appears in Solution Explorer!

  All files and folders are visible when I connect on the 32-bit computer. There is no difference between the files/folders regarding the permissions or security settings are concerned. Other users have experienced the similar problem. I tested this on 2 other computers on the same network. On a 32-bit computer, everything works fine, but on another 64-bit computer, I get the same question of file disappears.  It seems to suggest some incompatibility between Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit XP systems.  Any suggestions how to fix it? It's really frustruting...

  The files appear when you refresh the Explorer window by pressing F5 (or view-> Refresh)?

  If so, this article may help:

• 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.

• Discs Blu - Ray are not more recognized in Windows 7

  Hello

  I have 2 laptops with internal blu - ray, who never stopped recognizing Blu - Ray discs. I live in the United Kingdom

  A Blu - Ray drive is an Optiarc, the other a LG - PC with the Optiarc has Win 7 64 bit Ultimate and the brand-new PC with the LG drive has Win 7 64-bit Home Premium edition. Both drives are listed in the compatibility list - and were shipped preloaded with Win7.

  They both played Blu - Ray discs in the past, but it is even more recognize them in the drive.

  I ran Diagnostics from CD/DVD drive suggested in other similar topics, but the reader does not recognize the disks, it cannot solve the problem.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled several times readers in Device Manager.

  I also tried the fix involving the upper and lower filter removal in a registry key, also without success.

  I tried to change AHCPI to AHT in my bios - my bios has no AHT, just AHCPI and IDE

  I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled several different Blu - Ray software Acer Arcade, PowerDVD, TMT MediaTheatre Total, Slysoft AnyDVD HD and others. None no longer works.

  I even restored the two default factory machines and reloaded drivers manufacturer - no luck.

  The manufacturer, Acer, has even replaced one of the machines - when he arrived, he played all my blu - ray discs. After only a couple of windows update, it doesn't even recognize the discs.

  As you can imagine, I am at a loss on how to fix it.

  I noticed that the driver is installed when the hardware is detected is a Microsoft driver since 1996 - would this work with Blu Rays? No disc manufacturer provides a different driver, and update driver is the correct driver.

  The compatibility list says that Blu - Ray discs should work with the default drivers installed

  I'm quite proficient with PC hardware, after fixing computers for 21 years, but this question has me - and thousands like me on the web - absolutely perplexed. It seems to affect any player Blu Ray with Win 7 installed.

  Please can you help me

  Thanks in advance,

  SoC

  Hello

  Be sure to communicate with decision-makers readers as it is a known problem if it occurs regularly
  with Windows 7. Also keep in touch with Acer for the same reasons - is planning to ask ALL those
  for updates of the firmware.

  Is it possible that you install the same software on the two computer such as antivirus/antispyware.
  security programs or even a CD/DVD player and burn programs or others that may be causing
  the problem?

  If you are sure that it's an update, you can try to remove the update or even re - install Windows 7 and
  block the installation of updates so you can enable them one at a time.

  If you get it working brand a Restore Point immediately make one before installing a
  programs (before each major) and before you add updates.

  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
