Can not access my cd drive. said the driver corrupted or unrecognizable. __

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Hello

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
below.

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

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

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.

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

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
the correct registry entries for your car.

Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

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

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

  • Re-installed XP Pro. Now can not access data dynamic disk on the HD 2

    Hey all. Good here we will...

    My system has TWO SATA drives. A year ago I converted both Dyamic discs thinking I could use them in a RAID, but decided to do it. So, since that time I am using OS + critical data Disk1 and Disk2 as a backup (compressed image of Disk1).

    My question is now, I have re-installed XP Pro on disk 1 and my computer does not allow me to see the data in Disk2. XP Pro detects disc 2 as "base" and asks me to format it. However, my BART PE bootdisk shows 2 disk as dynamic and he can't read.

    This is where I am. I'm trying to understand how to read data from disk 2. Whether some use of software 3rd party or a way to get XP Pro to see the data.

    Check the knowledge base on best practices with dynamic disks.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/search/?adv=1
    For example.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/329707

    "Dynamic disks use a private disk region to maintain a logical disk manager (LDM) database, which contains the types of volumes, offsets, memberships and the drive letters of each volume. The LDM database is also replicated, so that each dynamic disk knows about every other dynamic disk configuration. This feature makes dynamic disks more reliable and recoverable than basic disks. »

    You suggest that your second drive can still have a copy of his information LDM. In other words, as long as you did not "commit a sin" as defined in this article.

    See 'import records' here and see if 'Foreign' is displayed for the drive in disk management.
    Disk management is where you want to look for info on the disc.

    In the site properties, enable editing in the browser is on.

    When I use the same external ftp site you want to connect, I get this:

    Screen Shot 2016-02-01 at 12.22.09.png

    As my clients technician COMPUTER hosts many sites, I asked him to create a unique login for my client.

    If I try to upload the Web site by using this single connection, it is said that the 'folder does not appear to connect to site' & is not that recent changes are not displayed.

    Technician COMPUTER does not know what else to do...

    I'm a designer using Muse, as I have almost no idea re.code. Please can you help me?

    See you soon

    Could you describe a little more how you or your customer download site?

    With most FTP servers, in order to download your Web site correctly, you must set the name of the subfolder on your server, as the root of your FTP space is probably not the root of your site. On most of the servers, it is a folder named "www" or "htdocs" or another mysterious name.

  • I can not access Mail at all.  The app looks open but I have no spectators (Inbox etc) happens so I can't see any mail either.  The provider is OK because I'm receiving and sending mail on my iPhone and iPad.  All of the suggestions.  El Capitan is update

    I'm running an iMac mid-2007, with El Capitan updated 10.11.2 and Mail I think 9.2. 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of memory.

    My problem started yesterday when I wanted to send a letter from Christmas to 32 people, activating a project and try to send it.  Didn't happen, and then things started to get strange.

    This AM. After the update to EC 10.11.2 I tried to load Mail.  The program seems open (i.e. the bar at the top - file, window etc.) but no viewer will appear.  No e-mail does appear, now or otherwise.  Have tried everything I know.  Restart the iMac.  Close and open Mail.  Nothing.

    Any suggestions?

    Rob

    Please stop Mail. Force quit if necessary.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    If you use OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") or version later, triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData

    If you use an older version of OS X, use this line:

    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to folder

    in the menu bar. Paste in the box that opens by pressing Command + V, then press return.

    A file window opens. In it he must be files with names as follows:

    Index of the envelope

    ExternalUpdates.storedata

    Move these files to the desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder can have names more long that begin as above. Move these files, if any, in the trash.

    Mail recovery. It should invite you to re - import your messages. You can get a warning that the index is corrupted and that Mail must quit smoking. Click OK. Generally speaking, the process takes a few minutes, but this can take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In this case, you will be able to speed things up temporarily by adding your file to the list of personal information protection in the Spotlight preferences pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.

    If the import operation stalls or fails with an error message, quit Mail, delete the two new index files (maintenance of the original that you moved to the desktop) and try again. According to several reports, the second attempt can succeed if one does not.

    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files that you moved to the desktop. If not, post your results.

  • Can't access 2nd HARD drive on the Pavilion p6220nl?

    I had installed a second HDD SATA in my Pavilion p6220nl desktop computer by unplugging the DVD/CD player with its SATA data and power cables.  He succeeded and I was using my regular hard drive so my new drive to HARD drive for several weeks.

    Once my new SATA cable arrived, I tried to reinstall my DVD/CD player that I had also only 2 SATA power connectors.  Instead I tried to use very low power for the new HARD drive connector.  Result, I can not access my new HARD drive.  I tried back (i.e. unplugged my DVD/CD drive again and using this SATA power connector instead) and it still won't go.

    I updated my BIOS and tried everything I can think of, but without success.  If anyone can help?  Is there indeed a Molex Pin 4--> adapter SATA connector?  Could I have ruined my new HARD drive with the two small connector and power cables attached SATA power connector?  Is there a specific SATA ports they need to go in.

    Currently the situation is now:

    SATA Slot 0 - drive DVD/CD (data cable connected only)

    1 - usual HD SATA connector

    SATA connector 2 - new HARD drive

    Slot SATA 3 - empty

    Appreciate any advice or assistance.

  • Data on the iMac, but can not access the files.

    Hi all

    I have a iMac Core 2 Duo (3.33, 21.5 inches) since end 2009, running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and I'm trying to recover some files that seem to be there, but I can not access it due to an update of the unfinished software.

    A few years back, I tried the Mavericks update using an external hard drive as the boot drive (at that time there I ran 10.6.7 Lion), installation is never ending and I accidentally deleted this file to start on the outside, so I ended up coming back to his moose BONE, 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

    He seems to resemble a new install of Snow Leopard, except my old files (about 350 GB) still live on this subject, but I can not access all of the files, or does not even appear in the Finder.

    Would appreciate any advice or tips on how to do to recover my invisible files. Thank you!
