• Computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  For these last days, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive.  I have tried everything - publishers of registry, check the physical connections inside the computer, the system restore and install Fix - It programs.  However, the computer does not recognize this drive.  I also wonder if it is a hardware problem.  The light on the drive is a constant in green, and does not have the Open button.  And when I use the bent-paper-clip-in-the-little-hole and can open the drive, it will not read the disc.  Please advise...

  Hello

  I guess that you do not see the CD/DVD drive in MY computer area.
  Right?

  I think I can help you
  First go to Device Manager and search for CD/DVD drive.
  Select this device and delete it from the list.

  Now, open the registry (type regedit in the search) and remove the filters above and below to the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control \Class \{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Satellite 1900 (PS192E) - does not recognize the CD/DVD

  Hey all,.

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite 1900 (PS192E) and place an old 20 GB HDD from an old laptop.

  When I boot, the screen is in VGA 16 color mode, it recognizes the DVD player, but does not recognize the CD/DVD when inserted. I tried to install and run the utility "driver robot" Toshibas, but the display is such that I see all of the screen to start the search.

  Hello

  OK, you have installed the disk HARD of another laptop but too format the HARD drive? I mean if the HARD drive performed from another laptop, you need to reinstall Windows because now you have other hardware installed.
  What version of Windows is it?

  If you want to install a driver for the graphics card go into Device Manager and select Update driver.

  Hello

  To get started with a Windows disc set 1 boot on CD/DVD order.

  / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at screen - 1 place the CD/DVD
  in the boot order (remember later). F12 on most Toshiba computers also allows you
  to set the order of boot for a start.

  Restore points are only usually return 2 weeks or less and backup or repair methods are needed
  After this period. Restore points only reset the system functions and backup any programs or
  data.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello mike salinas.

  1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

  2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

  I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

  Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

  You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.
