D/DVD-ROM drive cannot read the CD or DVD

Hello

I use Windows Vista on my laptop. Its quite some time that I did not use my DVD/CD drive. Today, I try to use but cannot read any CD or DVD. I was trying to solve the problem of updating the drive, but still cannot fix. Can I use Microsoft FIX IT microsoft support but the problem still there.

Something to say: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration (in the registry) information is incomplete or damage (Code 19).

Click on 'Search the soluton' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
I did it but the result is COULD NOT LOAD DRIVER SOFTWARE.

Please advise what should I do?

Thank you!

Hello

It is very rare for the methods in the 1st answer above does not fix a Code 19.

You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
Your player registry entries.

Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD-ROM drive settings of
someone with the same model.

    Hello

    Somewhere in the properties is a checkbox to enable digital CD PLAYBACK. Make sure this box is checked.

    In Autoplay make you a corresponding task is associated with music CD and not action.
    Load a music CD and then right-click on your CD-ROM drive. There should be a PLAY option.

  • CDDVD rom will not read the dvd rom or DVD

    my cd/dvdwrighter reads only cd rom not my dvd rom or DVD

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  • Satellite U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

    My CD/DVD drive does not work.

    It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

    You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
    drive from someone with the same model.

    Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
    nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

    DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
    devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

    Method 2:
        
    I recommend you to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and see if it makes a difference, also check the firmware updates.
      
    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

       
    a. open the Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    b. in Device Manager, look for the CD/DVD and then double-click the device name.
    c. click on the driver tab and then click on uninstall the driver, and then follow the instructions.

  • Windows cannot read the disk in drive c.

    I recently bought 5 blank DVDs to burn files, but when I put the disk, it showed no AutoPlay, even if I check suggestions asking me every time, but when I double click on the CD player, it says this message, "Windows cannot read the disk in drive c." can someone help me with this problem?

    Not all DVDs are the same, there are many different types and some DVD players may require a particular type

    If the DVD is blank has nothing to read, that it is not formatted/prepared

    With a dvd in the drive, in Solution Explorer, select a file, rt-click and select send to DVD, it works
