• CD/DVD drive not found in Windows 7

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545.  I did a clean install of Windows 7 (x 32 Edition) and since my drive CD/DVD is not found except in the BIOS and when I manually eject the drive it will pop up for a few seconds.  It's a TSST corp DVD +-RW T5 - L633B ATA Device.  Dell has released a driver for the problem, but as my computer can not find the drive it will not download the driver.  It will only appear in a few seconds Device Manager when I eject it, but then it disappears again and will not reappear unless I have the eject again.  When I put a disk it then the drive will show up but that's it.

  I tried deleting the upper and lower registry and I also tried the suggestion of integrity checks off without success.

• DVD drive not found

  My PC (Pavillion P6022SC originally Windows Vista OS) suddenly frozen. I closed, restarted and had to restore the system - but it also failed - when she has been reset, it was impossible to find the operating system.

  I upgradet to Windows 7, a year ago and the HP recovery system has also been upgradet. I tried this once recovery before without problem

  I could see in the BIOS setting and who starts any drives hard and no DVD player has been detected. Both types are connected by SATA cables.

  I bought a new hard drive, still nothing happened and then I bought a HP recovery kit.

  But my DVD is not recognized (1st boot device), and none of the hard drives are recognized. I have an external DVD drive and try this - it is recognized, but the system tells me that none of the hard drives are available, so it is impossible to recover the system.

  Can I have a problem with the SATA connections? Or is it aBios or something else.

  Hello:

  Your model has the M2N78-(purple), which is infamous for the default speed variators.

  This is probably what happened in your case.

  There are many positions related to this topic.

  I have listed a few below.

  I would just buy a new or refurbished nine PC rather than fixing that one (which would require a motherboard replacement).

• CD/DVD DRIVE NOT FOUND on alienware 14

  He used to work, I don't know why, but it's no more! It is not yet "swallow" any cd/dvd, let alone read...

  I tried using microsoft fix and tried to fix it manually but nothing is detected. I feel like I need to reinstall software but I do not know who and where!

  Hi Winniepillow,

  What operating system? If you start at the F12 menu go to diagnostics, your DVD drive appear there? If it is not the case, the drive may have failed.

• CD/dvd driver not found when installing Windows 7 on Asus f501A

  I am trying to install windows 7 on this laptop. Windows 8 are installed, but the drivers for the hardware that I need to use are not supported. I connect to cd/dvd-rom to boot from usb. I can install windows now the next screen ask a driver for the cd/dvd driver.

  I suggest, if you want to run Windows 7 on your system, you must do it through a virtual machine:

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

  VMware Player;

  http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/player_401/dGpkYnRwd3didGRwQA==

  or

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

• CD/DVD drive not found

  My Pavilion dv5 concludes is no longer the CD/DVD drive in my computer. Device Manager shows it and notes, all right. However, everything I put in the player turns then stops without showing anything on the screen. I have checked everything I know, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated the bios. Any help out there?

  Problem solved. I opened the Control Panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management, click with the right button on the reader without a name and gave the explicitive a drive letter. Seems to work now. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Any ideas on how it happened would be appreciated.

• 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.

• Hard drive not found error

  Hey everybody,

  My HP Pavilion G6 - 1164sa is coming up with an error "Hard drive not found" at the start up. It also makes a clicking sound. have you tried another hard drive to an old laptop in its place and the works, but because it is not the correct drivers installed for this model most things do not work. Need a solution to this? can I order a new hard drive for hp with all the drivers installed?

  Your drivers are posted on your support page > HERE

  You can order a hard drive at HP, but it will be a hard drive Virgin, as well as a new hdd retail except at much higher prices. I would like to replace the hard drive with a > hdd retail.

  If you plan to use recovery disks to reinstall Windows & software/drivers have one that is at least as large a capacity than the original, may be larger, but not smaller. If you have not written a set of recovery discs, you can usually order from HP for a small fee.

  If you can read the Windows 25-character license key attached to the bottom of the laptop there is possibility to download an ISO file, burn it to DVD and install Windows. Then you need to download your drivers on the support site. (Any size hard disk could be used with this option)

• Error retrieving Tecra A6 (hard drive not found. Error: F3E1000001)

  Hello
  I want to recovery my Tecra A6, but when I insert the first (of three) DVD and restart my system to get to the recovery

  Menu (when booting from the recovery DVD) just rebooted my laptop and every time I try this (very simple procedure) this

  happen again.
  That's why I tried to get it back to Win XP > Toshiba Recovery Wizard... in the first DVD in the 'BIN' folder there isn't

  a "RECOVERY.bat" batch file when I run this file will open a CMD window and checks are willing (and then the

  following text is displayed in the CMD window :)
  "
  Verification of DMI
  Verification of RAID
  Failed to initialize the raid class.
  Check the HARD disk
  End of the error
  "
  and a new window opens with the following text:
  "
  
  an error has occurred.
  Error: F3E1000001
  Hard drive not found.
  Please press [OK] to turn the computer off.
  "
  If I press OK the any immediately goes down (without shut down windows) and I have to restart.
  Also my laptop works properly my recovery DVDs sounds great, I want to just recover my system because of the speed more

  in Win XP.
  Maybe there is a new firmware for my HARD drive or an update of the BIOS so that the laptop could detect my HDD.
  In Device Manager, my HARD drive is: HTS541010G9SA00

  Wait a minute: you try to run recovery as OS installation?

  The recovery procedure must be on path:
  Turn on the laptop and press the F12 key
  When the bootable devices appear put the first media for recovery in the optical disc drive
  Choose CD/DVD media from the list and press ENTER
  Follow the menu on the screen.

  If this does not try to restore your computer.

  I should say that you cannot restore your computer at the same time that you bought

  But you can restore at the time wherever your DVD-ROM was working normal.

  Click on "Start" Type System Restore and press enter and then select a different restore point and select the dates of your DVD-ROM was working normal and click Next.

• Bluetooth device driver not found after accidental uninstall (Win7 64 bit)

  I use a Plantronics M50 bluetooth headset on my mobile, Skype etc. All troubleshooting yesterday (had a problem with the microphone volume is very low) I followed a few steps of an article if found on a Microsoft forum, telling me to uninstall the driver, as well as to restart my laptop (Win7 64 bit) would recognize and re - install the driver.

  In Device Manager, I right-click on the M50 (under audio, video and game controllers) device and chose to uninstall (as prescribed in the MS article). Here's where I shot myself in the foot; I ticked the box "Delete the driver for this device" (thinking that Win7 would get a fresh driver from Windows Update to reboot)

  After the reboot, my laptop started to reinstal the driver device, but for "Bluetooth device" reports "no driver not found"

  I myself tried in vain things:

  • tried to find the driver sur.com, but isn't available (plug-and-play)
  • installed software (incl. Plantronics Control Panel) Plantronics package
  • I tried Windows Update
  • installed Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver (as advised on various sites to set "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" reports questions 'no driver found'

  At the hope that someone had a suggestion for what else to try, or maybe how to find out what that exactly that I deleted by choosing 'delete the driver for this device '.

  Thanks in advance!

  Edit:

  Just in case it helps, I noticed that the following folder is created at the time of uninstal and reinstal, containing calisto.inf, calisto. PNF and Calisto.cat

  C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\calisto.inf_amd64_neutral_2b13d4544d6cf2e6

  I decided to use Sytem Restore to restore my system to before I uninstalled the driver. There are a few downsides to this, but so far the benefits outweigh them.

• Help format/reinstall, HARD drive not found

  Dell Dimension 8400 my brother got a horse of Trojan/bot out there and I had to do a thorough cleaning due to not being able to locate the infection and the internet company kept cutting off the Internet.

  I first tried the start of the disc and using disk relocation provided by Dell. He said "this part of the Setup program prepares Microsoft Windows XP on your computer. To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER. To repair a Win XP... Press R."

  I chose the first option and get the message: "Setup has not found hard disk units installed on your computer." And the only option (F3) is to stop smoking.

  I made a diagnosis of HD and it passes. Looking in the BIOS, it is recognised as disk 0 and also in the startup list.

  I decided that maybe there was a lock on there so I used DBAN to run a DoD wipe/format and clean the drive. So now it has to be completely formatted. I also jumped into a boot disk and performed a fdisk, but he doesn't recognize and create a partition of 8 GB to 160 GB. Hmmm, something's not right.

  Again, I'm trying to reinstall with reinstall drive and a full copy of XP that I have and you still get the "hard drive not found" error.

  The FAQ does not seem to cover this issue, but I could easily looking in the wrong places. in any case, I want to just wipe the drive and reinstall. Any suggestions?
