• CD/DVD drive not detected in 'my computer '.

  Ok.  That is the problem.  A few weeks ago, I couldn't find my CD/DVD device in 'my computer '.  I read the solution involving the modification of the registry.  Scary stuff, I know, but I did everything very carefully and removed the filters superiors and inferiors, and Wallah, it worked and my CD/DVD device appararurent again and I was able to open a CD and look at the files.  The same thing happened again, but when I look at the registry fix again he has no less and the top filter to remove.  I ran all kinds of diagnostic tools Microsoft Mr. Fix and after execution, gently, he finally tells me "the CD/DVD device not detected.  Well, DOH!  I already knew!  But how to fix it? I have a HP laptop with a build in the drive.  When I put a CD in the tray and close it I hear all the normal whirring etc of the currently playing disc, but nothing happens.  Absolutely nothing - a bit like these emails that promise miracles that if you pass them on to 10 people, absolutely nothing happens.  Please help - in non-technical terms please.  I am a user of the computer, not a grumpy, instructions must be simple.  Oh, I must add, after reading other topics of the forum, my tray works perfectly.  I can load and unload CDs.  Finally, my CD/DVD drive IS NOT doesn't appear in Device Manager if no suggestion re clicking on the disk or drive in Device Manager.  IT is NOT THERE.

• DVD drive not recognized in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I managed to install Windows 7 on my Lenovo 3000 N200-0687-A11. I have a problem, my DVD drive is not detected at all (not shown in Device Manager) but I always open it and it is certainly detected in BIOS and also it can boot from the CD - the problem is that it is not detected in Windows 7.

  I think that an application will cause this problem
  -Nero

  -iTunes

  Any other ideas?

  Thank you

• CD/DVD drive not recognized by Windows Vista

  I installed a suite of burningb of CD and DVD on my Toshiba (under Vista Home Premium). My CD/DVD drive appeared more in the computer and was no longer functional. I deleted the program I installed and apparently caused the problem, but it did not help. I have read through the help of Microsoft (929461, 314060) documents and used the Fix - It utility. Also unsuccessful. I discovered the response of Martin, the technical support engineer made on May 5, 2009. I followed his instructions with great success. However, my question now is this: I have still some remains of the problem left over. I get an error message at startup saying, 'InstaBurn UDF driver is not installed correctly. Run the InstaBurn installation program. ' InstaBurn is part of the suite of the copy (hotpics by Nova Development Corp.).  I also have an error message of my reader DVD Toshiba saying that the DVD player does not work - although it is. I played a DVD as a test on it after that I followed the instructions above. How can I remove these error messages annoying that aren't accurate?  Would appreciate any information about this minor - but annoying problem.

• Code 39 CD/DVD drive not detected

  Hi, I had to reinstall Vista because my files were corrupted by using Microsoft e-mail support.  I tried to install Windows service pack 2, but it would not be installed. After repair corrupt Vista files and finally get service Pack2 installed, I have had to reinstall a software disc that came with my computer Dell. The cd/dvd drive makes noise but does not read the disc. I logged on the Dell support site and follow their recommendations without success. I have downloaded the recommended bios and firmware dvd, uninstalled Roxio Creator and dvd driver but the system goes on to say that the drive is not detected. Finally, I called Dell and, of course, only the equipment is under warranty and I can't afford to pay for the software support. My computer is 8 months old and I rarely use the dvd player. It worked fine before these repairs and upgrades. My system is Vista 64-bit with service pack 2. According to Device Manager, my dvd player is number model PLDS DVD +-RW DS - 8A3S. BTW, as part of my purchase last summer that I was sent disk to upgrade to Windows 7 for free. I didn't want to hassle with installation at the time, but after pass by all this... should I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7 after I receive my dvd player work?

  Some will be more special. 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.

• Blu Ray drive not detected on Windows Explorer

  I recently formatted my laptop old, unused. It had Windows Vista Enterprise Edition before formatting. I replaced this with Windows 7 Ultimate (with integrated SP1) x 64 OS. I could get all the drivers for the laptop, but to my surprise, the Blu Ray DVD rom was not detected on the Windows Explorer!

  Think that Windows may have judged as a disc 'empty', I selected the option to display these empty drives but nothing happened. All I see on my computer is my main hard drive.

  I checked the Device Manager, but I did not see a tree menu to DVD/CDROM drives. I've repeatedly scanned for hardware changes, but Device Manager still couldn't get the Blu Ray player.

  I tried searching for information and I came across a thread that instructed me to find this registry key and delete the two folders namely "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" under the
  Input HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. This did not help at all since it does not "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" folder located under this key.

  Kind of weird, the DVD Rom works because the drawer opens every time I press the button open on the side of the road.

  He used to work before I formatted my laptop. Before formatting, I checked what driver was using the CDROM, I discovered that it was a virtual DTSOFT CDROM device. I tried to search for a driver, but failed to find one. I even tried resetting the BIOS by default settings, but still no luck.

  Can someone help me? Thank you very much!

  Hi Dann,

  Make sure that the Blu - ray player is correctly connected, because it is not visible in the Device Manager. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the connectors at both ends (mother card reader & Blu - ray).

  If the problem persists then I suggest you to check the status on another computer. To confirm that this isn't a problem with the hardware.

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue.

• DVD drive not visible in Windows 7 after upgrade

  I'm having a problem with my "model of dvd burner super multi: GSA-T40N.» Was known to work on laptop with Vista installed. After reinstalling Vista on the new hard drive and set to upgrade to Windows 7 Enterprise cd player does not work.

  That's what I know
  The device is detected in the bios and I can boot from it
  The device is not viewable in the computer once windows starts
  I searched on several forums that link to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Hardware-and-Devices-troubleshooter
  -This has not solved the problem.

  Searched the registry and there no low filters, when I delete the upper filters, and then raise the same problem occurs. Restocking the upper filters but the there is no lower filter.

  Have tried to update the driver but Windows tell me that I am using the best driver.

  Has been showing in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark with error code 10 - the unit may not start. After removing the drive to find the manufacturer it now does not appear in Device Manager but have power to the player.

  Help! It is a older laptop and have just replaced the hard drive, don't want really to replace the dvd drive.

  Thank you.

  First, find and install the motherboard chipset and other system for your notebook device drivers. The installation of Windows and Windows Update disc are unlikely to have the best drivers for your laptop and can not have everything for all or part of your devices.

  Check your laptop specifications and make sure that you install Windows 7 drivers.

  The manufacturer of the laptop could have first Windows 7 drivers. There are probably later and better drivers available.

• CD/DVD drive not detected on the computer... Dell said to reinstall Vista

  I have a Vostro 1500 running Vista Basic. My CD/DVD not detected on my computer drive. I looked in Device Manager and there is a yellow alert. When I look at the properties of my drive, there is an error "this device cannot start. (Code 10) ». I ran the PSA and all tests passed. I wasn't able to install an updated driver because the device is not detected on my computer. It is listed in the BIOS.
  I called Dell support week last to try to understand the problem. After about 2 hours of doing the things I had already done including the installation of new drivers (drivers installed not because the system does not detect the drive), they decided to send me a new CD drive. I received it this morning and it's another brand than what I had before, but I don't think it's a problem. The new drive I received today does not work either. It has the same problem as the original drive. I contacted Dell support online today and after explaining my situation together again (what is the use for a no of cases when I explain the problem 5 times in any case?) is first sent to a Microsoft for Windows XP KB (I use Vista so it's of no use at all) and then told that my registry is corrupt and I need to reinstall Windows. I don't buy it, but I told the tech that I was willing to humor. So, here am I, there is no information on the Microsoft support site I can find related to this specific error code. There are a lot of XP, but like I said, it's of no use to me using Vista.  My patience is wearing very thin with this situation and Dell.
  Someone has any suggestions, advice or anything before I chuck the stupid thing out the window? =)

  
  

• A satellite - DVD Drive not seen by Windows Explorer

  The DVD on D deive is not seen by windows Explorer. Used to work, it has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts at the start, then stop.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  You see the DVD drive in Device Manager and you then yellow exclamation points?
  Maybe you should just remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Select the drive in the Device Manager, right-click on it and choose uninstall. Then, restart the laptop.

  If it doesn't work try the workaround posted by Akuma to remove upper and lower filters.

  Good bye
