• CD ROM drive not in Device Manager

  Suddenly, my CD-ROM drive doesn't work after I plugged a flash drive. It does not recognize a disc (tells me to insert a disc after that I already have). The drive is not listed in Device Manager. I followed the instructions of regedit and led nothing to delete the location. I tried the following without success website: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/ The Fix - It ran and gave me: material changes may not be detected - checked. Y at - it sort of screwup driver or is my cd rom bread?

  Hello

  If the drive is viable that these can help:

  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

• 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 drives not working only not on the two PC running Vista, heeeeeelp!

  Hi guys, two PCs, which is new, both running Vista decided that the installed CD/DVD readers shouldn't work!

  The new PC reads a CD/DVD when inserted (lamps flash to recognize this is something), then nothing (Autoplay is configured to use iTunes ) so I'm going to, click on 'Computer' on the disc, and he says "insert a disc into the DVD drive (f) "

  So, I installed the MS auto fix jobbie and it says ' insert readable media...» "I've had (several store bought CD and DVD all failed to save) then I tried to search the upper and lower filter using regedit, but there is no file with this name in the folder on the drive.

  Device Manager indicates that drivers are up to date, and the device does not work, even though I have many distinguishing!

  Apparently, it is specific to Vista, but suggested courses of action left me with an even worse urge to kick the bloody things around the House that I had when I tried to play the CD in the first place, any help from you lovely people would be most appreciated. Thank you, James :)

  Hello

  If you have too many programs loading CD/DVD they can collide with each other as they

• Pavilion network adapter are not not in Device Manager

  My Pavilion P6330f lost the internal network adapter (no internet connection, adapter are not not in Device Manager).  Is it possible to re-restore/refresh it?  I tried to do a scan to refresh hardware, but it doesn't show any internal network adapter.

  I was able to get back on the network by installing a wireless network adapter via the disk support provided with the wireless USB device and using Device Manager.

  It seems that the internal NETWORK adapter has gone (fried) and I need to install a new NETWORK adapter in one of the expansion slots.  Other options?

  Is this a common problem?

  D.

  No, it is not common, unless your home has experienced a surge\dropout of power or a bolt of lightning. What you are experiencing, this is usually the result of thet.

  Since your office worked five years ago, he certainly provided you a reliable service. You might consider looking for a PC replacement in 2015. SCP last usually about five years before replacement is required.

  Wireless, it's that a good option as no extra wire is a good thing.
