CD/DVD drivers are missing and my system is not able to detect the dvd drive.

Hi, after installing some updates my dvd/cd drive is not detected by the system and the option is not in my computer menu, so I checked in the Device Manager. and my cd/dvd drivers are completely absent and not present in the Device Manager. I m using vista Home premium, help someone
Thank you

Hello

1st reboot and watch again in Device Manager:

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.

Hope these helps.

  • R15 reformatted with XP, now the drivers are missing and will not connect Internet

    Hello!

    I got a Satellite R15 without recovery disks. I was thinking that I would do a set but never had him. Recently, I started having problems with my MSOffice 2007 software. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but files were corrupted and it did not work. My next step was to buy Windows XP tablet edition operating system. I reformatted and installed the software. However, I had to reinstall 3 times before I was able to get actually reformat my hard drive. The new system is missing the Center help for a reason any and was also the drivers missing. I went to the Toshiba Download Center and I have downloaded every driver/program as possible I might need for an XP operating system and install them all. Some of them would not work because they wanted to connect to the internet. Some of them did not work because miss me a "PRC driver." I also installed service pack 2 for Windows XP, but not service pack 3 because I do not have an internet connection. Initially, the modem, ethernet, sound, video and a few things were not pilots. Now I have drivers for all except one - seems to be to shock absorption software and I can not find anywhere. I need help.

    1. I can not always connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless
    2. I would like to have a center to help once again - I use it once a year or more, but it's good to know that it is there
    3. I'm still not able to install MS Office 2007
    4. I would like to get this software for shock absorption.

    Any advice would be much appreciated!

    The HARD drive works? I ran the test Advanced in Hitachi DFT to ensure is has no bad sectors.

    Install the driver 'Toshiba HDD Protection System' on the Toshiba site. Needs to be installed first, its very important common Modules.

    The Office CD is scratched? It works in the other PC?

    Ultimately, you want a Toshiba Recovery Disc, this way you can be sure that all drivers are installed correctly. I believe you can get replacement of Toshiba drives.

  • Qosmio-F750-10N and Win8.1 - were not able to get the right BT drivers

    Hello

    Since upgrading my HARD drive and installing Windows 8 (.1), I was not able to get the right drivers for my Qosmio F750-10N Bluetooth.

    If I go through the section of drivers download site, the drop-down boxes of language and the region appear to be defective, so it shows me all the drivers.

    Tried to install a Toshiba Bluetooth stack generic but it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my Bluetooth device. Also tried to go through the Atheros website without much luck.

    Please could someone help or maybe post a link to a download mirror.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    First of all, it seems that the 8.1 win is not supported for Qosmio F750.
    So I might be difficult to operate BT

    However, AFAIK the Qosmio F750-10N was equipped with an Atheros AR9285 Wifi/BT card.

    This means that a single module shares the WiFi network and BT and you need to install the Atheros BT filter driver.
    Next to the BT filter installed, must install the driver of Toshiba system to win 8.1
    The pilot of this system must be installed before the filter of BT driver.

    But like I said: 8.1 win is not supported for this Qosmio unit and you won't find drivers Win 8.1 download section in the driver F750.

    But you should try the drivers released for the other, more recent Qosmio series; i.e. X 870

    Good luck

  • Satellite A110-142 - Volume Control/Sound Drivers are missing

    After using my laptop for a period of time yesterday, I realized that the audio had failed, I checked the volume settings and found that the volume control icon missing from the taskbar. After further investigation, it seems that the audio hardware device drivers are missing and a code 39 error message appears. I tried to update the drivers (the system tells me that there is no appropriate updates), then I tried to uninstall and reinstall devices, nothing helps.

    In addition, I tried to do a system restore but whenever it does not work. I don't know if the two problems are related, but I'm at a loss on how to restore the audio features.

    Any help to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Before continuing to chat about it can you please tell us what operating system do you use?

    By the way: perhaps you should back up all your data and install the new OS by using the original recovery disk. After that what you do will have the laptop with the factory settings. This will be the best option to check if there is perhaps a few hardware malfunction.

  • PCI Device and SM bus controller drivers are missing

    Hello

    Recently I formatted my computer hp 2000-2116tu laptop and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Initially, I found a lot of network drivers are missing. I went through forums of hp support and almost all the drivers are installed except the peripheral PCI and SM Bus controller. I could not find anywhere. In Device Manager, these two devices are projected with yellow exclamation point.

    (1) should I install these two drivers also, because now I am able to browse the internet without these drivers?

    If should, please provide the link for the same thing. If you don't mind, pls let me know using these drivers.

    (2) I installed windows 7 64-bit os. My laptop is equipped with a Quad Core i5 processor and 4 GB of ram. These configuration is sufficient to run the 64-bit operating system?

    (3) most video players theinstalled is 32-bit. It is therefore considered that the videos are not so clear before I did the format. Do you have any comment on that?

    Please clarify my above given questions. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Yes, you need to install these drivers.

    First of all, download and install the Intel Chipset driver at the following link.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56517.exe

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, download and install the Realtek card reader driver below.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56545.exe

    Once you have installed the Chipset driver, I would also reinstall the Intel HD Graphics driver on this link.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56836.exe

    Once again, when this has completed, restart the computer and check if your videos look as they should.

    About memory, 4 GB is fine, although you can switch to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB Modules) If you wish.

    Kind regards

    I don't know what you mean by getting the drivers from "various sites." The only place to get the drivers for the hardware that is installed with your Dimension is the Dell Web site.

    There is only one pilot audio for your Dimension 3000 and it's here:

    Of course if you added your own sound card you need get the drivers of the mftr site. but provided with your Dell printer's on the motherboard, and those are the drivers for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
