Cannot detect the drive of DVD Inspiron 660 s

I think I uninstalled accidentally my DVD player, but basically, I do not see it in the Device Manager and cannot imagine a way to locate even via my computer.
Any ideas as to what I can do?
(Windows 7 btw)
Thank you

Do you see the drive in BIOS?

  • BIOS cannot detect the drive msata

    I am trying to use an msata player in my m4700 precision but not very successful. I tried to use Crucial and mushkin in msata/WWAN slot. BIOS simply ignores the card. I heard he was trying ever since that it took a while for BIOS finished to start if I put the card.

    Thanks for the help

    Packers dell offers a compatible dell certified msata card 256. .they delivered oriinally previous systems portable and with samsung pm830 256Go msata cards... samsung msata are not currently available for resale this invintory is used by OEMs, I was personally able to source 2 new samsung 256 GB msata (MZMPC256HBGJ - 0001D 1) via the internet outside India Mambai @ $350.00 / each you can order an msata of 256 GB of dell spare parts using the printer dell P/N MTT20 which is for a computer of dell desktop XPS 8500SE that uses also the same card 256 GB msata. Initially, I ordered a Dell, but they kept its replacement by a Liteon Dell P/n V6PN8 (LMT256M3M) 256 GB msata for the samsung pm830 msata... even you I have not specified no substitution... due to price I choose to send the dell back and keep the pm830 256Go s msata samsung... I set up my own M4700s accuracy with them 2 and one of my buddies with a 256 GB liteon you both work good... .only difference, it's the samsung seems to have better read/write speeds on the liteon... I've personally never tried a crucial msata, but I read the other posts that State they do infact on the m4700 work. Just a thought maybe your msata/wwwlan slot / port is bad or damaged or possibly the msata allignment slot on bottom of card has a Burr or incorrectly notched try a smidge to see if the pins will be properly align... Once you get the screw spindle allignment held in place of filing in the notch on the card, just a thought only other choice is to get Council MB or girl replaced by dell... Good luck, I hope do you run MAC ii

  • After dismantling Satellite A60 cannot detect the CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I opened my laptop to clean-up and it was the first time that I never opened a laptop. Messed up at the opening of the cd/dvd drive.
    Instead of just pulling out, I started its opening screw but quickly realized that this is not the right way. So I took it out. Rest of the disassembly procedure went well and I assembled it back but he little silver r 2 bands and a small source, which I'm sure that belongs to the CD player and I couldn't adapt it.
    And I don't know how it fits.
    The computer does not detect the drive. Although I can open it by clicking on the Open button, then he hang out by sharp object. (The light will blink showing the power exists in)

    The second thing is the microphone. I've never used until last week, but my voice is going through. The system does not detect any microphone.

    Help appreciated

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say what is the problem with CD/DVD player. Are there signs of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager or the drive is not displayed in Windows Explorer?

    How did you test mic? Try it with the tape recorder for windows. So you can test the functionality of the mic on the easiest way.

  • Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error

    Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.

    Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.

    I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) has .dvd rw ad - 7530 ata

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    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. 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 loose 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.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Hello golden2,.

    I understand that you have a DVD picture in your SuperDrive drive, but it is not mount on the desktop and will not eject.

    Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

    Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

    Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

    1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
    2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
    3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
    4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
    6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

    Hi krt2,

    In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

    Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

    c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

    d. restart your computer.

    Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

  • BIOS Inspiron 2305 does not detect the drive in ahci mode

    The hard drive in my Inspiron one 2305 crushed and I tried to install a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda drive.

    The Bios does not detect the drive. I noticed that the SATA in the BIOS mode option has been put on AHCI. I changed the ATA mode and the BIOS has detected the drive.

    However when I try to install a clean version of Windows 7 (Dell OEM disc), to halfway to the installation Setup will fail. I noticed that the reason why it will fail, is that the installation process now does not see the hard drive.

    Can someone tell me what steps to take to do the installation?

    theFlash1932 and natacuk4

    Although I was not able to swap the Sata cables as natacuk4 suggested; It looks like just unplug and reinstallation of cables Sata what it did the trick!

    I was able to boot the system several times and it seems that everything works fine.

    Thank you guys for helping me solve this problem!

  • Satellite L40 - installation of XP cannot detect HARD drive

    Hi, Toshiba support

    I have Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E-03702NAR) with Windows Vista

    I want to install Windows XP, but I can't because my HDD is SATA and installation of windows XP cannot detect the HARD drive.

    I know that I have to update my BIOS.
    I have 2 files on Toshiba drivers download

    I downloaded their extract them & try to update the BIOS one. After that, I log in the BIOS
    I can't find (HARD drive Mode) must Mode IDE.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello!

    > How can I solve this problem?
    I think you find hundreds of discussions in the forum about this please use the forum search!

    A BIOS update is not necessary to install Windows XP. You only need the SATA drivers you can find in the Intel Storage Manager driver package that can be downloaded on the Toshiba site. Pilots must be integrated during the XP installation with an external floppy drive or use you nLite to create a new installation disc.

    Anyway, check this link from Toshiba which is an order exact step by step installation:
