  I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

  What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

  Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

  If you put another type of disc in the optical drive, as a music CD, it is recognized?

• computer does not recognize a dvd in the drive

  Hello

  My computer does not recognize the presence of a dvd in one of my two drives, although she acknowledges a CD.  This happens regardless of what dvd I insert.

  Thank you very much

  Try this;  Restart your computer before trying again the disc that plays on your DVD player.  If this does not work then there is only one possibility;  your DVD drive is DEAD and you need to replace it, or buy an external CD/DVD drive.    He comes to the end of the mystery.

• Computer does not recognize LaCie external hard drive when it is connected.

  Should I just a 'driver' of the manufacturer so that windows recognize? Help, please.

  The device is a hard drive (250 gb) bought in 2006.   LaCie support has provided relevant solutions.

  I disconnected the USB line, reconnected with the power of the unit it turned on and off while only plugged, unplugged, and made all possible combinations of many times. My computer does not recognize anything.

  I can't find it in my computer, and also, the computer does not list the device in the Device Manager utility.

  I have disabled the Windows Firewall.

  The computer with which the external drive worked and one that currently does not recognize are model computers windows XP (2008).

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Thanks for the reply.

  In the meantime and after reviewing all similar positions, it turns out that find the 'live' usb device does the trick.

  So, other people with similar problems, try the usb cables at the back of the computer (all), then by restarting the connection there.

  It worked for me.

  Thanks again for the reply!

• Windows 7 does not recognize the dvd/cd drive

  I can not access my dvd/cd drive. It shows nothing in my device manager.

  I tried a restore which only goes back to December 25, 2015, but without previous restore points available.

  Also, I went into regedit and delete upper and lower filters in the appropriate class file. Cd player opens and closes, but that's all. No recognition of windows 7 that it still exists.

  Please notify.

  Thank you
  Ron

  It is probably a failure or has failed.

  If yours is a desktop PC, the replacement is easy and inexpensive - like $20

  If yours is a laptop, the replacement is not easy and can be expensive.  However, just a much cheaper solution is to buy an external DVD device that connects via USB for about $25.

  Error message when you open Device Manager and clicking on the dvd player. Drive does not appear in the window 'computer '. Max_devices downloaded, but it couldn't fix the problem.

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

  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.

  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.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  the parameters.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
