CD/DVD drive does not recognize the DVD media disc.

Greetings,

Had problems with my CD/DVD drive not being able to recognize that a DVDmovie disc is in the drive.

I tried to turn on/off, reinstalled the driver, update the driver, check if AutoPlay is enabled (currently set to invite me) and have used the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting system which could not solve the problem.

I am able to burn data and audio files on CD/DVD very well, it will read the same types without problems.  But whenever a DVDmovie disc is, it does not recognize, there is a disc in the drive, or Autoplay hit.

Also clean the laser lens with isopropyl alcohol.

Thoughts?

Honestly, I had not checked immediately after I cleaned the lens, but it works now.  I am convinced that cleaning the lens resolved.

I had posted this, and then read somewhere else to clean the lens, has made, edited my post saying I had it done and then tried a DVD and it worked.

  • External CD drive does not recognize the CD burned on El Capitan.

    Using El Capitan 10.11.5 and an external hard drive, I have burned successfully mp3 files iTunes CD - I can play on the computer itself - but an external CD drive does not recognize, even if the Player recognizes the discs once engraved on Snow Leopard and previous models.  What's wrong? I burn "at the fastest possible speed," as I have always done.

    What CD format?  If you burn it to a CD mp3 this is not very common for a standard CD player to be able to read those.  You may have burnt the other CD audio CD format.

  • Portege R830 PT321A - 3 G Modem driver does not recognize the device

    Hi guys,.

    I'm having a strange problem with the model PT321A - 01 K 002 concerning the driver of Modem 3 G.
    I tried all the drivers available and Wireless Manager sites Australia and European I can find and it just won't recognize hardware.

    To clarify, we deploy a fairly clean Win 7 64 bit build and at the end of the 3G modem is the only device not recognized, it is reported in the device under "unknown devices--> download software... Manager Strange, but "Software Download" is actually the name of the device.

    Hardware is * USB VID_0BDB & PID_100E ID * which, during all my reading, seems to be the 3G modem. No matter what I do, even a fresh copy empty detail of Win7 64 bit can get 3 g drivers to recognize the hardware.

    I guess that I install the drivers in the wrong order? I tried several combinations but cannot make it work! We buy more in addition to these with the component of the 3 G and I need to be able to deploy our SOE to it.

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance! -Matt

  • dv4-2170us does not recognize the hp recovery discs

    I had to replace the hard drive in a laptop dv4-2170us.  Order the HP recovery discs.  After the updated windows install would not work.  I called HP support and they sent a new recovery disks.  The new recovery discs are not recognized.  Get no boot found device, insert the disc and press any key.   I checked the HP site for new firmware and drivers for the dvd drive (HP DVDRAM GT30L) and he says they are up to date.  The version of the firmware is mP04.  I uninstalled the dvd drive in Device Manager and rebooted.  He installed the drive to dvd again and I still have the same problem.  I tried the recovery discs that were not recognzied in an another Dv4-2170us and they are recognized.  I don't understand why the first set of discs have been recognized and the replacement recovery disks are not.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Problem solved!  I found there are 2 problems.  (1) there is a problem with the optical drive.  Another laptop of the same model and switched optical drives.  I could then read the second set of HP recovery disks.  The second and third sets sent HP recovery disks had a blue tinge on the data side.  I guess this type of disc is done with a kind of new process and the problem pc couldn't recognize them.  Problem (2) Windows Update doesn't work after recovery has been resolved by installing the driver Intel Rapid Storage Tech.  I found a post where someone had replaced their hard drive and had the same problem.  So if you have had a hard drive crash and replace, and then can not get windows update to work, try to install the driver of tech IRS.

    While I can't complain about some of the HP support, they send me two sets of discs of recovery free and expressed them in the mail, I feel some of their support staff lack the technical knowledge, they should have.  I'm no Wizard of computer science but after finding several messages from people having the same problem I had and no one says that the IRS tech driver could be the cure, I feel that their technical support has been insufficient.

    Hope this helps those of you with a similar problem.

    I found the problem.  See edited message.  Part of the problem of the optical drive, but I'm not dirty it was.  As I said, it would recognize the original recovery disks sent.  They did not have a blue tint on the side of the disc.  After rotation of the optical drive, blue dyed discs have been recognized but remained the problem of windows update after recovery.  The first series of disks would have worked if I had installed the driver of tech IRS.

  • DVD RW drive does not recognize the DVD movie in Vista 64-bit

    I installed a new graphics card and feeding a few months ago but I don't know when this problem began to arise. I can play games like Civ IV CD-ROM and Battlefield 2 PC - DVD discs and I can also play and burn CDs. But the DVD of movie I have both played in the computer before and can play in a DVD player are not recognized by the disk drive. When I put a DVD movie, the player starts to make noise as it's read, but suddenly stops and repeats for a few minutes. If I try to open the disc through the window of the computer, a popup tells me to please insert a disk into drive E:.

    I also tried the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting service, but it did not come with a solution. My driver for the disc drive is so up-to-date. Thanks for any help.

    More info: the drive is an Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7201S 5

    atfernine,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Try to remove the system disk in Device Manager and then restart and let find Vista and resintall the device.  If you have software and / or the drivers provided by the manufacturer, those must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

    You can also try a back a system restore date before the problem occurred.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
    Click Start
    Type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore listed programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    Click Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Let us know if this information was useful or if you still need help.

  • Power mac g4 does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  It has worked very well in Leapard

    I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

    What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

    Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

    I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

    Hello
    I m not very well how to help you.

    I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

    I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

    From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
    I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.

    For me it s case.
    I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new player properly because of the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings
    Readers slim for computers laptops support setting master/slave/c-salt settings and these settings can only be changed by changing the rider as on desktop drives.
    So it is very important that you purchase a compatible player and supported because disks with incorrect settings will not work.

    Before buying a car, you should ask the service provider to Toshiba for a caught player supported and compatible

  • Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

    I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

    Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

    Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
    It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

    I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
    I need to download the drivers to operate?
    It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

    I'd appreciate any help. THX

    The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
    I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

    As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

    You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

    Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
    However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
    My user manual provides this information.

    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

    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
