• Readers CD/DVD-RW and CD Rom missing in WIndows XP

  Last night I had to make a music CD.  I discovered that Windows Media Player didn't see my CD rom drive or my DVD/CD-RW drive.  I went in my computer, find the two missing disks from there.  In Device Manager, they appear, but have a yellow triangle, which means a problem.  I tried to uninstall/reinstall, point to restore the system, several other things, but I'll have a chance to do this work.  Readers seem to work, but the computer will not recognize them.  I was told that there is a "Code 19" problem and then this last time that I have checked, he told me he was "Code 39".

  Brand and model of your pc could help. If they appear in Device Manager, you must try to uninstall them, outgoing Device Manager but stay in Control Panel. Double-click Add Hardware, which leads up to 'add a new hardware wizard'. Follow the prompts. and let the Wizard do the rest.

  Hi Dtorres,

  • What exactly do you mean by it works when I insert the disk?

  If the device is missing in the Device Manager, it may be due to hardware failure or if the drive cables are not connected properly. This can also happen if there is a damage in the drive cable, windows will not be able to detect the drive.

  However, you can contact the computer manufacturer to verify if there is any firmware that you can install for the CD / DVD player and if you can run a diagnostic tool for the material.

  You can also start the BIOS of your laptop and check if the drive is detected in the BIOS and post back the result.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hello

  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.

• Readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM missing

  I came to visit my parents yesterday and I tried to use the CD-ROM on their Dell Dimension 8300 running Windows XP SP3.  The drive seemed to be working, but wouldn't read anything.  So I checked in Windows Explorer and the CD-ROM or the DVD + R/W discs were there.  I went to the Device Manager and received the following message:

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  The readers in question are the NEC IDE\CDROM_NEC_DVD + RW_ND-2100AD and IDE\CDROMHL-DT-ST_DVD-ROM_GDR8162B (Hitachi or LG, I think).

  So I tried to update the drivers, but Windows could not find a driver better than the current.  Figures.  I uninstalled the drives and tried to reinstall, but no luck.  I have good, well, I just downloaded a new form of drivers somewhere.  I went to Microsoft; no luck.  I went to Dell, where it says, "Dell makes drivers for its products on its Web site."  No, it isn't.  There was only the 22 drivers/firmware for DVD/CD devices; were not mine.  In fact, the only reference I could find any where on the Dell site for these discs were complaints in the forum there is no drivers! Never.  I went to NEC, Hitachi and LG.  All the zip.  Found dozens of web sites that will set everthing at a price of $29.95, but I really don't want to go that route unless I have to.

  I found a post on http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2008/06/30/mystery-of-the-disappearing-dvd-rom/ that looked exactly like the problem I have.  It was suggested to change the registry.  I can do this, but I don't want to make things worse.

• Satellite M - DVD/CD ROM missing in my device manager

  My computer for some reason unknown to me, recognize or load content on any DVD or CD that I put in my combo drive. The disc turns and acts like it is loading, but nothing happens. I want to switch from XP to Vista. whether a disk of music or a dvd movie disc, it always does the same thing. I have a satellite M45-S2652. I tried the registration procedure and nothing has changed. Before that, when I clicked in my device manager and everything was ok, he read "(MAT *** un DVD) RAM UJ - 831 S."

  I tried to use my windows recovery disk, but the computer does not recognize it. I tried the restore later, when I clicked in my device manager, under DVD ROM, I saw a bunch of script gibberish with a yellow exclamation point, but the same thing was happening. Y at - it someone who had that same kind of experience and solved. Will you please help me to solve my problem. I want to upgrade to Vista.

  Thank you.

  Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
  When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  This utility can remove the filters for you:

• Satellite M70 - 159-> update bios-> DVD ROM missing

  Hello
  I have the Satellite M70-159, PSM71E
  I made the big mistake, please help and suggestions are welcome.

  History:
  I installed Windows XP home sp2
  A few days ago I tried to update my hardware drivers (last attempt was a few years ago) and the BIOS too.
  So, first of all, I decided to update the bios of 1.30 to 1.50
  -bios150win has been downloaded and install completely and it works very well. But since then, that my laptop doesn't see DVD - ROM - it disappeared at all.
  WindowsXP says - no CD/DVD-ROM in your stack of material, and I can't boot from bootable CD/DVD drive.

  I tried to downgrade the BIOS to 1.30 but the f * ng tool shows me a message that I have more new bios and I do not need to downgrade.
  Hey! Toshiba! Please, give me a chance! Just remove your Bios update a few lines of code! Do not check the version of the bios.

  PPL! Please help. Because now I can't reinstall OS, I can't burn, I can't get my data, I can't do anything.

  Thank you

• Need help updating Bios dc7800 Compact Mini Tower: ROM CAB missing or damaged

  I need help, updated the BIOS on my HP dc7800 CMT. I get this error message:

  System BIOS updte file (. C:\Users\f\Downloads\ROM CAB) is missing or damaged. THE system BIOS does not update.

  I tried to update using the sp53611.exe (8.0 MB) 1.32 Rev A(6 Dec 2011) HP Compaq Business Desktop system BIOS (BIOS 786F1)

  Which can be found here.

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=3459243 & swItemId = vc_97114_1 & swEnvOid = 4059

  The current version of my BIOS is: 786F1 v01.04 2007-07-18

  I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultiate. I noticed on the page (linked above) software, it mentions most of the flavors of Windows 7 64-bit, but it does not mention Win 7 ULTIMATE 64-ditch.

  Here's what I did:

  (1) computer restarted in safe mode

  (2) connected as administrator

  (3) Task Manager began to ensure that all applications and most of the services have been arrested

  3 (a) as an additional precaustion, I even stopped Windows Defeneder

  (4) double clicked on sp53611.exe and let it install the software.

  (5) This opens a web page. I clicked on the link which was under the Bio update to a windows environment.

  (6) the process has started, but then I got the above error.

  Any ideas on what to do next?

  Is it possible that the BIOS cannot be updated because the software does not support windows 7 64 bit ULTIMATE?

  Thank you in advance. I have a new graphics card today (Radeon HD 6570 - who has been recommended by Mr. Paul Tikkanen, thank you), and I guess I should have my current BIOS a bit, no?

  Hello:

  There should be no need to update the BIOS, if everything is working properly.

  If you want to update the BIOS, you must use the built in Flash ROM of system menu in the BIOS.

  It is the safest and easiest way to Flash the BIOS.

  All you need is a USB stick formatted with the FAT 32 file system.

  Download the latest BIOS update, then run it.

  You should get a page of instructions.  On this page, you want the option F10 system flash rom and you should see a summary of BACK flash folder view.

  Copy all the files in this folder on your USB.

  Plug the drive into the usb port, restart the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F10 key to access the BIOS.

  There will be a menu to System Flash ROM

  What to choose and it should see the BIOS update files on the usb flash drive.  Then follow the instructions on the screen to proceed to the update of the BIOS.
