• HP laptop HP G60; Windows Vista 64-bit; I can't open my DVD drive

  I have a 64-bit version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium that I just reinstalled; I will be upgrading to Windows 7 in the next few days, but I'm going to open my DVD E reader.  It opens when I press the normal button.  But it will be opened by itself at random every few days.  Is there a way I can open it manually except by pressing the button on the door? ... or should I get just an external DVD drive and not worth messing around with this uncooperative E car?

  See the link below:

  Opening a stuck CD or DVD Drive Tray (Windows 7, Vista, XP)

• I can see the drive, but can't open the DVD RW drive, nor can I copy them to it.

  by clicking on the drive does nothing. It does not open. I can't send pictures on the disc to be copied, nor can I copy photos on the disk. I stopped and restarted. I have antivirus protection that says that it is up-to-date.

  I went to the control panel and clicked on the device and it says it's working properly, but this clearly isn't.

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

  Try this double click Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - device - tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive of the driver - UNINSTALL - REBOOT 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, might have a cable loose 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 at 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 system manufacturer and the manufacturer of the 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 (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read). 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 entries in the registry that the troubleshooter does not solve, and those who "could" be the cause.

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

  These are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - secondary-keys for the CD/DVD drive of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• music past PC from XP to Vista PC and more will no longer play in the drive media or import into itunes

  I transferred a large amount of music from my work (XP Dell) computer to my home laptop (Dell Vista) via an external hard drive.  About 3/4 of the music now will not import into itunes (nothing happens at all when I try to add or drag the files on), and Windows media player will not play them.  He complains about the codex or file extension.  I is not the exact message at the moment but you can get it later.
  The songs will play in another free player I downloaded (I don't remember who it was but can find out (I'm not on my laptop now)).
  I've had this problem for a year or two and thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 just if I can access my music again, but don't know if it will even work and prefer not spend this money if there is a solution under Vista.
  The files are a mixture of types, some were given to me and others that I transferred via CD myself.  I have all the original CD or files. Each of them has played without problems on the XP PC.  When I got this problem, I sent one of the files from my Vista computer on an XP machine and it played smoothly on this point, so it seems not that files have been corrupted.  It seems to be a Vista problem that also affects good windows media player and itunes.  I want to be able to get the songs in itunes, so I can listen to on my Ipod.
  Any help gratefully received.

• How can I open the DVD/CD driver to insert a disk?

  When I found how do in a help section, it just says: open the driver. Well that's my question "how to open the driver to insert a disc?

  When I found how do in a help section, it just says: open the driver. Well that's my question "how to open the driver to insert a disc?

  A 'pilot' is a software, you cannot insert a disk in it.

  Do you mean the CD/DVD drive?

  There should be a button on the front of the computer next to the DVD player, it is usually on the right side. Some cases hide it, but there should be a space to grow. After you press the button the DVD player should open.

• I can't open the CD tray!

  Hello

  I have a Slimline model s5-1010. Tonight, I wanted to put a CD in the optical disc drive, but apparently I do not correctly put in the status bar-oriented vertically, and now the computer will, read the CD or open back so that I can reposition the CD. Pressing on the outside of your box's physical eject button leads to a few attempts to do something obvious, but ultimately, nothing happens. It seems to be stuck.

  What can I do to fix this? Is it possible to access the drive without doing major surgery? I am not opposed to the opening of the case, but I prefer not having to disassemble everything if possible.

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  Jorge, welcome to the forum.

  There is a small hole in the middle of the road under the tray.  Straighten a paper clip.  Stick it in the hole and push.  This should open the door.

• CD will no longer play in a cd player.

  Recently, I've burned audio CDs in WMP and they play in the computer, in my two dvd players connected to TV and my car stereo but won't play in my two stereo cd players.  In fact, a few but they take a lot of time to "load".  Others never load nor a message 'no disc '.  If I try a cd burned months ago, they play as they always did without problem or delay in "loading".  Obviously, the music is ON the cd, but something is at the origin of these 2 players for not being able to read or load it.  I tried different cd Mfg., but which was never a problem before.  It makes little difference.  The worst was a Memorex color cd batch all gave a message 'no disc '.  On a few of the blanks Magnavox (which ALWAYS worked very well), they will BE finally "load", but it takes a lot of time.  Most will not.  Yet once, I tried previously burned to the cd in the cd player 2 and they work fine.  What I NOW burn, is a problem, but ONLY on 2 stereo drives cd and only with CDs burned in the last month or two.  I ran the free program offered by Microsoft to correct WM, etc, but nothing has changed.    I did a little at different speeds without success.  Basically, I've been ripping / burning using Windows Audio at different speeds a few with no perceptible change in the results.  Later I received from an expert internet the burner to computer was bad.  It is relatively new and has worked very well until very recently.

  Q: could it have something to do with the cd been closed properly?  The cd play in my car, my computer and my dvd player if it has not been closed correctly?  During the burning process, he says it closes.

  Q: codec have something to do with the playback of the cd?  Could they have changed during a windows update do the cd players obsolete readers?
