CD drive is not accessible

I have recently encountered a problem with my CD ROM drive

He started do not read any DVD or CD after have been loaded (he would make a noise to suggest that he started so nothing happen) so I checked my device manager.

My Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7560A ATA device had the small yellow warning symbol saying that it is not found.

After searching the device already asked questions, I tried to update the driver, there is nothing.

I then uninstalled the driver, restarted my computer and reinstall once he turned his back, this did not help.

I then copied a script on my desk and he ran, creating another icon, which I ran too, it did not work

I have then is gone in the start search menu and deleted the upper and lower limits limited, it worked, it allowed me to launch the DVD and install the program, I need and has worked well for about 4 hours.

Then I tried to re - run the program (having not off the computer, or remove the drive) and he didn't like the original disc could not be found. Now, she suggests that he can't find the drive again (although the Device Manager indicates that the device is working properly).

I am now confused, hard to know what to do and make me very frustrated, can someone help?

Hello

You did a great number of them the drive may be bad or have any material question type and need to
be reviewed by a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a BestBuy or other big box stores)
or the system manufacturer.

Another problem, you need to check is to have too many CD/DVD programs on the computer
even if you do not use all. These will often compete for resources (even in the back
the Earth if they charge parts at startup) and which can cause strange problems.

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

Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

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.

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)

  • MP3 player via the USB port (no matter which), it keeps coming back as the "Drive is not accessible. Access is denied. "

    Hello

    So, here are the problems I encounter, and what I did to try to fix myself.
    Whenever I try to connect my MP3 player via the USB port (no matter which), it keeps coming back as the "Drive is not accessible. Access is denied. "  This same thing happens everytime I try to put an SD card in the SD card slot.  However, despite this, I can plug my USB mouse and use it, as well as the keyboard and it records only.  I can also use the HDMI port to use my TV as a second monitor and, also, to record that.
    What I did to solve the problem, it is to restore the system to the previous times before that happened, did not.  I also went into the Device Manager and uninstalled and re installed, USB and SD card drivers.  I also tried something in the sense of taking control of the files via a right click on a folder and go to properties and then security and to the 'advanced settings', the problem with this situation is that I can't in readers at all.
    I am currently running Windows 7 (64 bit) on a laptop Lenovo, the computer itself is actually only a few months.  If someone knows something about this, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

As you mentioned that you are not able to access the external drive, and you receive the error of access denied when you connect to your user account, I suggest to try to create a new administrator user account and then try to access the external drive.

    To create a new user account, please follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

  • CD drive is not accessible. Access denied

    Hello

    The company that I started to work has created a Group Policy object that denies users from using removable devices such as cd/dvd players. They also have a group who has access to them, it worked most of the time, but I have problems with a single user. He is a member of the group that is allowed access to readers and removable storage however when he tries to open the files on a dvd, he receives an error:

    "D:\ is not accessible.

    Denied access to D:\ "(I think that this is the error that he sent me)

    I can remote in his work station and if I uninstall the reader of cd in Device Manager, reboot, reinstall, reboot, then it gives the same error, but if I uninstall the drive and reinstall without rebooting, the user can access the drive without errors. On the side, after a reboot it starts to make the same mistake. This seems like a problem with the users in AD account, as it is the only one that has this problem, but my manager does not re-create the user, is there another difficulty I can try?

  • Host: Linux, guest: Windows 95. Virtual floppy drive is not accessible

    I have Windows 95 as a guest on an Ubuntu machine.  I have no physical floppy but drive you have "installed" a virtual floppy drive with the following text in the vmx file

    floppy0. Present = 'TRUE '.

    floppy0. FileName = ' / home/me/VM95/Windows95_A/ordflop.» IMA.

    floppy0.filetype = 'file '.

    where ordflop. IMA is a non bootable floppy drive disk image.  I got it mounted on my Ubuntu host computer so the file should be OK.

    However, when I start the W95 guest (after a clean restart of the host) and try to run Explorer on the A: drive, I get the 'helpful' message

  • HP 250 Portable G2: 0xc0000225 error code. Hard drive is not accessible, computer laptop HP 250 G2

    I'm doing a clean Windows 8.1 64-bit as a result of a fall, but I'm getting 0xc0000225 error code, using built-in HP recovery utility. Installing Windows also says: Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer. Kindly help. Thank you

    If your computer is originally shipped with Windows preinstalled by HP (as it should) - it would be better to use the HP recovery media that will repair Windows, applications, and all the default partition to factory. It will use the license of your machine for Windows and should automatically active Windows after installation.

    If you are using the 8.1 Windows installation media, you may need a facility to post license Win (depending on the type of used windows).

    -If you want to use the original that are preinstalled windows, you can get a HP recovery media as described above

    -If you are using the 8.1 Windows installation disc and install Windows from using your driver's license, follow these steps:

    1 boot from the Windows DVD
    2. click on install now
    3. in the configuration screen, click Custom (Advanced)
    4. click on Drive Options
    5. Select the partitions to format
    6. click on Format - this will delete EVERYTHING on this partition - format and delete all partitions
    7. create a new partition, and then select a partition to install Windows on.
    8. continue the installation.

    If the Windows installation disc does not work for the above you can do the following to reformat your hard drive:
    1. download a Gparted ISO from here:
    http://gparted.org/LiveCD.php

    2 burn the ISO to a CD or DVD
    2. start from the CD/DVD of Gparted disk.
    3. use Gparted to delete all partitions on the hard disk.
    4. under 'Device' choose Create Partition Table to a new table partition.
    5. create a NTFS partition (or you can wait and create a partition during the installation of Windows).

    Finally, boot from the Windows installation disc and install Windows.

    Let me know if it works for you

  • Windows Vista C drive is not accessible, the error "the parameter is incorrect."

    I recently got a used laptop and have been clean files and install updates and now my drive "C" indicates "0" bytes. I can't open the files or download anything to try to fix. I also got the message "the parameter is incorrect." Can anyone help?

    I suggest that, as it is a laptop that you reinstall Vista second-hand:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
