• How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

  I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Please note, in order to install Windows 7, you must have a DVD player, if you have a CD-ROM drive, which will not work.

• Computer can not detect the printer so that connected via USB

  My computer runs on Windows 7 Professional and my printer is model # D110a.

  My printer has worked fine since I got it, but a few weeks ago, my computer has been infected by a virus that forced me to reformat and reinstall everything. I installed the necessary software from the installation CD supplied with the printer, but when I try to connect my printer through the 'Add Device' option in the Configuration menu, my computer does not detect even if the printer is on and physically connected by a USB cable.

  Help please, I don't have the money to buy a new printer.

  No problem. Just glad that you solved. Can you go ahead and mark this as resolved to close issue? Thank you.

• Satellite 1700: Windows cannot detect the CD Rom drive

  CD drive on my laptop Satellite 1700 working under Windows. Windows cannot detect, but it works very well in mode cd player.

  Hello

  I have a question.
  Your drive is missing from the 'My computer' zone or the Device Manager displays a disk error?

  If the drive can be recognized in the BIOS, so I guess that the entries in the Windows registry are damaged or not right.
  I found this Microsoft Knowledge base and I think he should solve your problem.

• Computer unable to detect the external hard drive after installed update

  original title: update for the usb drive problem

  2 things really:

  Should I really all these updates unhappy? My computer spends much more of his time fiddling with updated it and update that never it does nothing I want to do. (Where do you want to go today? I want to lose my afternoon watching this stupid update new thing!) I'm sick of forever updated. And...

  I keep losing my 1 TB ext HDD. My computer won't find it. I do a restore to when it was visible, and I can use it. Then miserable update starts messing around again and I lose it. It seems to me that the update is hiding my ext drive.

  Any help much appreciated

  see you soon

  Hello SidBloggs,

  Did you first disabled automatic updates by following these steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off

  Once they are off have you tried every day updates individually and you determine who updates is causing the problem with your hard drive?

  Maybe it's just that the update interferes with the driver that you have for your hard drive and it may need an updated driver.

• Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

  Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

  I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

  "Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

  my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

  I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

  scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

  rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

  No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

  automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

  that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

  and ASUS.

  I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

  Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

  Can't detect the wireless, gateway 4025gz. mod, turn on wireless, Dosnt show the icon in the login screen. OK before wipjng drive.

  If it worked before wiping the disc, then it is likely, you are missing a player specific to material not included in WIndows XP.  Log on to the gateway website and download the drivers for the chipset and network.  Naturally, you will need to use a wired network connection.

  In general, Gateway provides the drivers specific to the hardware on a recovery of the system partition, and they also provide a tool so you can burn data on CD/DVD restore.  Do you stil have this partition or did you remove it?

  Every time I buy a PC, I always download copies of the material of the web site of the vendor-specific drivers and keep them on a flash drive, so that they are available when I wipe a PC and reinstall.  I also do the recovery partition recovery disks.
