CD/DVD not detected

I have a Sony Vaio EA series computer. For some time, the CD/DVD drive won't detect any CD or DVD I insert. It displays a message "Please insert the disk". The computer is also not booting with the cd in the drive. Eject the disc, he finished start-up. Suggest what could be done.

I had this problem myself, check out this site for a fix.

  • Satellite M30x + Win7: DVD not detected by the CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I use a M30x since 2004 with its CD/DVD drive * a S mat. DVD-RAM UJ-831
    When I was with Windows XP, I have never had problems to read or write on CD, CD - R, DVD, DVD - R or DVD - RW. But recently I installed windows seven, and since that day the drive won't recognize the DVD. I can still read and burn CDs and CD - R. I'm burning the same Virgin DVD-+ R/RW as before, but the drive won't detect them. Those I have already burn are not detected or the other.
    My computer says that the CD/DVD drive work properly and drivers are up to date.
    I tried to clean the lens, but nothing has changed. And I tried to reinstall the drivers, but I could not found for windows seven.

    Thanks for the help.

  • CD or DVD not detected for the first time, always detected on insert it again.

    Whenever I insert a CD or a DVD into my DVD drive, the drive is not detected. No contents of the drive is displayed in Windows Explorer. I see the drive to read the disc, as indicated by the green light flashing, but nothing happens. This problem is always solved by reinserting the disc. I don't know why I have to insert each disk twice each time so to be read and any help would be greatly appreciated. When I insert the DVD for the first time, its content is not considered in the Windows Explorer, however, he begins to play when I open my DVD playback software and click on the play button. I have Windows XP Professional SP3.

  • HP Support Assistant unable to fix a problem with the CD/DVD not detected

    Hello

    If you do not get the chance to use another PC, I would definitely create the CD and the DVD bootable as it would give a clear indication if there is a hardware problem with the optical drive.

    In the meantime, try following the procedure in the title of the subheading "Let me fix it myself" on the link below to remove upper and lower filters (if these registry keys exist) and see if that helps the issue.

  • CD/DVD not detected in my computer players

    Hi all!

    I have a problem that seems to be quite common, but cannot find an answer to it.  My problem is for my XP.  I followed all the steps in article 982116 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116/en-us).  Specifically, the problem is that when I Open regedit and go to the place, there is no upper or lower filters listed.  The article does not provide a solution for this.

    I have install various CD/DVD players, hoping that it will work.  They do not.  BIOS shows install them.  Manager device displays them but with a small exclamation yellow mark.  I even tried my external DVD drive and plugged into a USB on my computer and I had the same problem.

    I can't use my computer because I need to install stuff but can't because I can't get the shoot to work.  I hope someone has a solution.

    Thank you

  • 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? =)


  • Satellite A300-1EI: Debian Linux does not detect DVD drive

    Hello guys,.

    I am trying to install Debian debian-40r5, but the first issue I encountered is that the DVD is not detected correctly and the system setup program is not loaded.
    What happens is...

    1. start the program installation of Linux and its load.
    2. I am invited for selections of region/language/KB. Then when debian tries to detect the drives, the dvd is not detected, and I am asked to load the driver manually. I tried to load the drivers in the installer, but without success.

    If anyone knows how to load the appropriate driver, please me advice.

    Thanks in advance,
    Ahmed Osama

    Thanks for the comments!

  • Equium A200 - CD/DVD drive is not detected

    I can't open any CD/DVD disc. The drive is not detected.
    When checked in the management system, he demonstrated, the drivers are missing or corrupted.

    How do I download the drivers? Or is there another solution?
    My model number is PSAF5E
    Serial number is YT144538Q
    And the CD/DVD device is POLE * DVD / RAM UJ-850 s ATA device

    Hello!

    T, you can download or reinstall the CD/DVD driver because it s a part of the OS (operating system).

    It would be interesting if the BIOS can detect the drive. Please check this box.

    It would also be interesting if you have an error as the #19 error message. This is known and a search around the forum.

    Good bye

  • w540 does not detect DVD drive

    W540 does not detect the CD / DVD drive and because it takes a long time to start.

    I know that I can put the hard drive to boot first, but now I want to install windows 7 and it does not start.
    I have already installed the latest version of the BIOS but does not solve everything.

    I wonder what's happening?

    Thank for the help that you can give me.

    I discovered why the player start out with reinstalling windows DVD.
    According to the manual, so that the operating system Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 work, Secure Boot function must be activated. Similarly, restarting the OS Optimized Defaults menu must be activated and when this setting is changed, some BIOS settings are changed automatically including the UEFI / Legacy Boot happening to UEFI. We need to change the UEFI / Legacy Boot for both, only then can start the DVD from the drive.

    I thank ColonelONeill for your help.

  • DVD Player detects only not MSI Motherboard 865PE-Neo3

    Hello

    I just finished one of my two friends to fix computers. One is the ASUS MB (computer) and the other Mo MSI (so there is no confusion). Note: both computers are built to order.

    The ASUS I completely fixed and works 100%.

    The MSI computer isn't "works properly at all. It started with the Windows XP login screen where I need the password of connection that couldn't my friend ' retireve it or knows about it, given that this computer was sitting on the shelf for a few years. Which is a Pentium 4, MSI 865PE Neo 3 motherboard.
    In any case I said to my friend that the only way to reset the password is to reinstall Windows XP Pro, which I was on will do. When I inserted the OEM disc and boot of it, the dvd player was not "on the startup list, so I went the BIOS/CMOS settings to check.

    In the BIOS/CMOS settings dvd player has no ' dectet at all, so I tried to manually substitute in changing a channel IDE for CD/DVD Rom, which he did not ' work.

    So the next step, I thought that if I tried the dvd drive of the MSI computer which is an LG model on the Asus computer which works very well. So I tried swaping cable SATA and DVD drive which it didn't work at all on the MSI computer. Everything works on the computer, ASUS, MSI computer not a reason any.

    The only thing I can think there is something wrong the MSI as the motherboard its self or is the BIOS? I am tired of searching for answers on the web and geek computer sites/forums and no response to my problem releated.

    Can some tell me the problem of this situation?

    Thank you

    You should use Google to look for the mb manual. It lists all the bios options and teach you how to make the necessary changes.

    I also read earlier that connect the sata cd/dvd cable to the sata3 has sometimes helped in these situations. I can't testify however. Certainly won't hurt to try if...

    I asked just recently one of my friends who is a Certified MS saying that the old BIOS on P4 will not detect any what sata DVD drives even if I update the BIOS. DVD players work only on the BONES of his car not on the BIOS.

    I have never heard that before and I'm sure that I did it myself... So, I don't think that is correct. If the accept P4 CPU and has SATA ports, it should work. I think it's just a matter of getting the correct bios settings.

    Edit: your manual not very helpful if. Based on my experience, the settings you need are likely under embedded devices.

Maybe you are looking for
