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.

Hello

You have loaded CD/DVD programs just before this started happening? Often those who will compete
for resources that load themselves into memory and the interaction parts cause strange problems.

Check with HP Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in the forums known HP
questions.

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
below.

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

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.

  • 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? =)

  • 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?

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or

    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.

  • Pavilion Slimline s5-1020: DVD drive not recognized in Device Manager

    My rarely used DVD player no longer works. Here are the things I have seen/made:
    -J' updated to Windows 10. It may or may not have stopped working before the update.
    -I update Windows automatically, and everything seems to be in order there.
    -The DVD seems to be operational, insofar as you can hear it turn when a disc is inserted.
    -Setup recognizes, and it is enabled; It is not at all in Device Manager or in the file Explorer.
    Based on the things I've tried, there are indications that it may be either a hardware or a software problem (or both?):

    SOFTWARE PROBLEM?
    I followed these as much as possible:
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03370738#c03370738_NoDriveWin8
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03370738#c01895589_resetpower
    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-CD-DVD-read-only/read-this-for-CD-DVD-drive-with-burning-Missin...

    -I got disconnected/reconnected the drive.
    -J' tried various DVD I knew to do.
    -I don't have to update the BIOS, given warnings.
    - Nor did I mess with registry filters.
    -J' tried to find a Microsoft Fixit solution, but the one referenced somewhere in these pages don't apply to this OS - I think it was for Win 7.  I tried MS Control Panel convenience stores, but none of them worked.
    So I can't say whether or not it is a software problem.

    HARDWARE PROBLEM?
    -J' have set the boot on the CD order in configuration and the desktop with Windows 7 HP Pavilion system repair disc - nothing happened, he went straight to the HD (even if I had turned off).  So that leads me to believe it may be a hardware problem after all.

    Do I have other options at this point, except maybe buy another drive?  And in fact if I do, it is possible that one does not work either?

    While you are not alone in this problem, here's a thread that deals with her.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Do a Restore Point then you can go back to where you are if necessary although you should not have to:

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

    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.

    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.

    ===============================================

    Go to Toshiba and download and drivers or programs that affect the CD/DVD drive - Chipset
    and BIOS updates can also play a role.

    For any download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN

    Toshiba downloads - access your model

    Then reinstall the programs that you use for this drive.

    Hope these helps.

  • HP X 705 PEN DRIVE NOT DETECTED IN ANY PC

    I plugged my USB on my laptop, and he asked me to dial before use. I formatted and the format has been successful. After that I was transferring some of my files and suddenly the USB connection has been lost due to unknown reasons. I reinserted it and then found out that it is not detected. I tried by assigning a drive letter in disk management, but I couldn't see my pen drive listed. I also tried to connect to other computers and devices, but none of them detected. I hope that there is not any problem with USB 2.0 as connection he used to work earlier. It could be a hardware problem and I can not return or ask the supplier I bought at snapdeal.

    Hello Hackerschoice,

    You say it happened when writing files to it. The player bumped or moved while this was happening?

    If the drive is not detected in ANY computer or device, then the reader has become physically corrupted or damaged in some way.

    If snapdeal will not honor a warranty for a recent purchase, your only recourse is to contact HP support directly for your country and ask questions on the help of the guarantee.

    Here is a link with the numbers of the different countries.

    HP technical support / phone call HP customer service

    Good luck.
