CD/DVD drive not recognized inside the virtual machine
No matter what I do, I can't get my VM (XP) to recognize the CD/DVD drive. I am running version 2.0.6 of merger and under Mac OS X (10.5.8) on a MacBook Pro. I did a right click on the CD icon in the lower right corner of the computer virtual window, then select 'connect' CD/DVD - I see while the disc turns black (which indicates it's supposed to be connected). I launch Windows Explorer in my virtual machine, but I do not see the CD/DVD drive listed anywhere! Help, please. I have the VM settings to connect to the physical CD/DVD (DVD-R MATSHITA UJ-875) drive. Thanks in advance.

CD/DVD drive not recognized by the program ChurchPlus
When I backup files of Church PC (program ChurchPlus) to my CD - r, the program lists "D" as a choice. When I restore at home on my PC from the CD - r, it mentions "D" as a choice. BUT, when I try to back up files that have changed on the CD - r, "D" is not listed as a choice. My home computer's Inspiron 620 and the diagnosis, I ran said that all past. Can someone help me with this? Other financial partners to the Church are able to make their backups without problem. Any help appreciated.

This error refers to a missing entry in the registry. It has nothing to do with the question of if you have saved the program. My suggestion would be to contact support for more of PowerChurch for assistance than the error, or possibly check in their forums.
I was able to find this message that relates to the same error. The posted solution is to go to help > PowerChurch Plus and right click the system information tab select Run Netsetup.

Run the script inside the virtual machine the user when the user connects or reconnects
Hello
is it possible to detect the user that the user has connected or reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?
It is also possible within the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?
One way to do this is via the following powershell command, but this only works if the user is connected through PCoIP Protocol.
Get-WmiObject-class Win32_PerfRawData_TeradiciPerf_PCoIPSessionGeneralStatistics - SessionDurationSeconds property
Best regards
> it is possible to detect the user that the user has connected either reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?
You can run scripts as user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See running commands on the desktop view.
> It is possible inside the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?
I don't think that we expose, but you should be able to query Windows for the connection time, or you could write the last time to connect with a script (maybe that is the reason for your first question?).

CD ROM / DVD drive not recognized and viruses on the computer
Can anyone help please?
My CD ROM / DVD Drive failed. I tried troubleshooting etc but not available. The computer does not recognize I have a CD / dvd as a player he says that is not recognized by the register?
I also have a virus that I can't get rid of, it's maybe part of the problem (Trojan horse - Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c) I ran many viruses, spyware and trojan controls but there is no cure yet?
I tried the system recovery, but it won't let me get it back to an earlier date.
I can't use my restore disk because the computer does not recognize the drive. A catch 22 situation.
Can anyone offer any other advice that throw it out the window?Help from anyone would be much appreciated.

HI Paul,.
I think that your first priority will be to remove the virus from your laptop. The following link contains the virus details: -.

You are shown in the BIOS to CD-ROM? If yes then set to be the first selectable boot device and you should be able to load your recovery disk and restart it.

DVD player not recognized after the upgrade to windows 8
I write this to document some odd behavior, that I lived after the upgrade to Windows 8 in the hope that it might save some grief for others. Of course, if someone could explain why this problem occurs, I'd be very interested/grateful for an answer.
I recently updated my computer from Vista Ultimate to Windows 8. I did a clean install of Windows 8, because there is nothing special about the machine I wanted to preserve. In all cases, the upgrade went without a hitch and I was soon back up with Windows 8 as my OS (I really like, btw).
The only oddity I noticed after the upgrade is that my DVD drive was not recognized by the operating system. Remember, this is the same DVD player that was used to install the OS, so I found it rather peculiar. After a bit of lost time, try software solutions theoretical I started to play with the equipment.
My motherboard is an ASUS M3A78-EM. My hard drive is attached to the SATA1 port and my DVD player is plugged into the SATA2 port. I removed the DVD drive from SATA2, plugged into SATA3, restart Windows 8 (from HDD on SATA1) and Windows 8 now recognizes the drive!
I thought it was really weird, so I stop, put the DVD on SATA2 drive, rebooted, and the drive was no longer available in Windows 8.
OK, so I thought that maybe the SATA2 channel was bad (even if he had worked at the Windows 8 DVD installation, just an hour or two before), so I put my HDD on SATA2 and the DVD drive on SATA1. After doing this, Windows 8 start very well (so there is nothing wrong with SATA2), and it recognizes the DVD on the SATA1 drive.
OK, so I did that for a while, and virtually all combinations I tried worked as long as the DVD player is not plugged in SATA2.
I cannot live with that, but thought it was really strange. Also, I note that the old operating system (Vista) was acknowledging the same DVD player while it was plugged on SATA2. This leads me to believe that the problem has something to do with Windows 8, but I can't imagine what could be the cause.
Thanks dude. After you create this registry key/value and restart Windows 8 was able to finally see my DVD drive on SATA2. =)

HDD and dvd are not recognized in the configuration menu, what could be the problem?
The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the configuration menu for my desktop Pavilion a4316f. What is a controller failure? A PCI controller can be used to replace the motherboard controller?
dhobs,
Anguish, that the suffering of the faulty motherboard has been aggravated by your actions. Why you decided to perform a restore (which re - formate the disk, erase all your data files (documents, photos, videos to misic,) is really amazing.)
You had a viable BONE, work and the data store. You he clobbered with recovery. As explained, the 'tattoo' reads the embedded hardware configuration and will stop at the resumption of treatment if it detects a change.
Only temporary help I can offer is to open the computer case and install a small 12v on the NVidia chip fan. IF the chip is not 100% burned, you can earn low enough time to reinstall the operating system and then add the map.

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.

My toshiba drive disappeared.

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.
See if that helps

I get the text following error encrypted every time that I boot Windows XP in VMWare Fusion, since I've upgraded to version 4.02 a few months ago. So I upgraded to version 5.02 hoping the error would go, but he didn't.
When I try to start it, it says "he has at least a virtual SCSI device installed on this virtual Windows XP computer.
Windows XP does not include the drivers for the card SCSI BusLogic VMware Fusion uses virtual SCSI devices.To use these virtual SCSI devices, install the VMware driver in the virtual machine.

How can I make this message disappear?I tried to go to the useless link that is provided (http://vmware.com/info?id=43), but it takes me just for a general download for all VMWare products page. Then I tried searching for "SCSI" but it does not have the driver, I'm supposedly dedicated research
After doing a bit of searching around, I finally found a driver called "vmscsi - 1.2.0.4.flp ', I connect to my virtual floppy drive. Once I did, my virtual machine wouldn't boot (I get the error "NTDLR is missing.) I then unplugged the virtual floppy drive, and now my virtual machine starts again. I then re-connected the drive floppy and discovered the following content:Disk.TagTxtsetup.OEMvmscsi.catvmscsi.infsmscsi.sysOK... Now what? No installer? What the hell am I supposed to do with it?

I am trying to add a cdrom to my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl.
When I use the script vmreconfig.pl to create the cdrom I get the following error...
Cannot use a value that is not defined as a reference to a matrix to/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/vm /... AppUtil/VMUtil.pm line 898.
OK so I have create a cdrom in vSphere and try again manually...
Addition of the cd 'cd '...
Virtual machine 'vmname4' is reconfigured successfully.OK, so I think that my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl missing the ide0: 0 or something...
Any suggestions on how I can do this?
I'm doing the following...
1. create the virtual machine by using vmcreate.pl.
2. Add the CDrom to the virtual machine using vmreconfig.pl.
Thanks in advance.
Just watched this.
The vmreconfig.pl script does not handle the case of a device not defined in the VirtualIDEController object array.
Look like the real device table is not defined until an IDE device is actually connected (or when a new IDE device is added). I'm not 100% sure of what generates the actual peripheral table off the coast of the VirtualIDEController, but the case of a table of undefined device should be handled in the script to reconfigure.
I can see the two solutions here, first write a custom script that adds the CDROM and manages this one-off case. Then, modify the vmreconfig.pl script to handle this particular case of a painting of the disconnected device.
In VMUtil.pm, you will find line number 929:
My = $unitNumber $# {$controller-> device} + 1;
This is to change:
My = $unitNumber (set $controller-> device)? $# {$controller-> device} + 1:0;
There may be other cases in the VMUtil.pm module that needs to be updated as well. For this reason, it may be better to just write your own custom tool. However, the simple correction above may let you go ahead with your project in the short term.

Transport mode "nbdssl" is not available if the virtual machine has no snapshot
When I use VixDiskLib_ConnectEx with a vmdk having a snapshot, I "nbdssl". If the virtual machine has no snapshot, I've always had "nbd" no matter what I specified in the parameter transportModes of the VixDiskLib_ConnectEx. I tried NULL, "nbdssl". It affects always unconditionally "nbd" when there is no snapshot.
Is this expected behavior? If so, I am not able to write safely to a vmdk. During a recovery, I create a new vm. However, there is no snapshot. I want to get back to this vmdk. How to work around this limitation of security?
You use 1.1? nbdssl restores are not supported on 1.1.

cannot not power off the virtual machine, but don't think the host it is running!
I have two clusters VI3. An older cluster to 3.02 hosts and a new cluster with ESXi hosts. Level of current patch on ESXi hosts. New guests and old presenters sees the same storage, but I have additional storage which can see only the new virtual machine.
Most of the migration to the new cluster went very well. A few questions. But a VM just GIVES me fits.
After the failure of attempts to migrate the virtual machine to the new storage, I thought I just migrate the virtual machine to the new host and leave it on the old storage, for now, until we could find something later. VCenter events logs show that the migration has expired. However, the virtual machine appears in the new cluster and is no longer in the old cluster. Also, he turned on itself for some reason any. Turn off in Vcenter gives the error "the operation failed because another task is underway." Having the VM that I could put it off in before Vcenter, and no no unsure of how to use the RCLI for this, I have connected to the host directly mode "not supported" and has run vm-support - x to get the list of running virtual machines and their ID's so that I could kill him. However, the host does not include this virtual machine in the list of virtual machines. So I think a virtual computer that runs Virtual Center, but he thinks the host it runs on is unclear if I can't kill the process.
