  Hello

  It is my first request for assistance.
  My CD/DVD drive is most recognized, and when I go to Device Manager and click on CD/DVD I'm informed that the cdrom.sys file is there but cannot be loaded.

  See this MS knowledge base article:

  Then access the registry using the regedit command and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Reboot the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD drive has been installed again.

• XP cannot find CD and DVD drives - 41 code

  I just reinstalled XP Pro on my PC.  In 'My Computer' my CD drive or my DVD player - RW appear.  In Device Manager, two discs show, with yellow exclamation point. In the properties of each drive, it says XP installed the driver, but cannot locate the device (Code 41).

  My BIOS sees the two discs properly and both are working, with a bootable CD after reboot.

  The DVD drive is a SATA drive and the CD-ROM drive is an IDE drive.

  I ran the automated Service technician to http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems but it has not fixed this.

• Portege M200 error - CD/DVD drive problem - Code 39

  I have a problem. I would like to perform a recovery on my m200 Tablet System.

  I have a dvd external drive (as the m200 has not built into the player) and the correct recovery disk.
  However, because of a problem that occurred some time ago, there is a problem with the driver (+ Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device.

  The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) +), and so I can't start the recovery.

  If someone knows a way I can fix the driver, or another way to perform a system restore, it would be extremely useful!
  A solution to the problems of one or two would be great.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  > The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) +), and so I can't start the recovery.
  Are you sure about that? This code appears in running the operating system but recovery doesn't run under the operating system currently running.
  Please try to start the recovery procedure and let me know exactly what is happening.

• How to disable the USB port and change DVD drive to read-only?

  I have upgraded my Vista Home Premium from window to window 7 Ultimatum. I tried to disable the USB port and and change the configuration of DVD room to read only via the bios, but I wasn't able to do. The bios always the same, whether it was when I had vista.

  I wonder if the operating system upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate trigger necessarily upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of the Windows 7?

  Thank you

  * original title - upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate necessarily triggers upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of window 7? *

  rThen your question isn't specific to Windows 7, you must consult the manufacturer. You should be able to disable the USB via the BIOS ports. Also, why do you want to set the optical drive as read only? If it is shared? If so, the advanced sharing disk properties, from there, you can set permissions on the drive.

• Region code of the DVD player

  The DVD on my Pavilion A1375A Media Center PC drive is set to region 1 - I am in Australia (region 4).

  I can't set it to region 4.

  I asked HP to sell me a new DVD player, but they do not know what the new discs region code will be and asked that I contact Microsoft and ask:

  (a) area code would change once a factory of re - configure?

  (b) what would be the new replacement drive region code?

  It seems strange to me that HP can't?

  Hoping someone can help,

  all good wishes,

  David

  Hello

  You must talk to people bad at HP since it is not Windows that
  decides what optical drives of regions are defined.  HP provides probably hundreds
  readers of your region (really the thousands).

  It is by design.

• Universal region code

  I got a question asked of me today:

  "Do you know if the DVD format is universal and is compatible with the DVD overseas."

  systems? I bought the DVD before USA to see they don't work here

  in South Africa. »

  I think there are two issues at work here, the first, that's how I author of the DVD - Unversal region Code, the second is vs PAL NTSC.

  Can someone show me how to control universal Codes in the region?

  Thank you

  Region codes apply only for discs pressed in trade, made by a House of replication. The project still will be output to DLT and which will be shipped to the port replicator. Don't set any region Code, if you burn a disc, because which may cause the project to fail and not will be not honored on a burned disc, just as protection against copying (only applies to replication and can also cause trouble, so called). Region codes are used to restrict the gameplay in certain geographic areas, such as ONLY the United States, etc.

  Now, vs PAL NTSC is different. These are standards of television. In very general terms (still many exceptions), a NTSC DVD will play in most of the new Euro (PAL) players. Unfortunately, the reverse is not so. I don't know any player NTSC, who manage the PAL discs, although there might be some double players out there.

  The ideal is to produce a PAL project for the distribution of PAL as well as NTSC for distribution to NTSC.

  Good luck

• How to change DVD region on Satellite P500 settings?

  Hello everyone, thanks to Pau Pau and Xarxas for their information in this new day, but I have to be more desperate than I thought. I can't seem to locate the Device Manager icon that will allow me to move to the region 4, I'm not on my laptop now, but I remember well he gives only two icons apparently irrelevant in Device Manager.

  Could someone talk me through the process step by step once more please?

  Hello

  Why you want to do in the Device Manager.
  As I mentioned in my post http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums//message.jspa?messageID=211412 at first you should do it here:

  My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region
