D & E missing disk drive

Can someone help here?

I just burned a DVD last night. Tonight he said burner DVD can not be found. I browsed the forum and tried a few fixes. I installed Pinnacle Studio version 11 a couple of days. I didn't like it and uninstalled once I burned the DVD last night. I think this is my problem.
Here are some of the things I tried. My OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I looked in the computer and drive D & E are not there. In the Device Manager, I show two pilots. One is Phillips 8801 ATA Device DVD. The other is TSSTcorp. TS-H492c ATA Device. I ran the updates for each of them and they are current and active. . IN Windows DVD Maker, that it not there no driver and the drop down shows no driver. I did a system restore, and as usual, there is no!
Any suggestion would be greatly apprecitatedd.
Thanks in advance
David

  • 16 GB cache missing disk

    I ordered a T450s and he received a couple of weeks. I opened it now to replace the HDD with a SSD, and I wanted to remove the cache 16 GB SSD drive, which would now be superfluous.

    The problem is that the cache drive is not there. I'm sure that I ordered it, and it showed up on my order. But he is not where he is supposed to be.

    I don't know who I'm supposed to contact about this. I don't want to return the laptop. I would have preferred that Lenovo send me a cache drive, what I paid for, or at least give me a refund for her.

    I've attached a picture where the missing disk should be. I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

    Thank you.

  • RE; How can I add a cd rom disk driver to a top of the tower that has no one.and do I have to format disks before I can put them in the driver?

    I just bought a laptop drive for my laptop which do not have. What is the right device? If this is not the case, what camera to buy so I can record information from my computer to a disc, when I don't have a disk driver on my computer. also, I have to do something to the drive first in order to make it work?

    Here are the facts:

    I have an acer aspire one that isn't a disk driver (which would allow me to save my separately from the document, photos and videos).

    I'd like take what I have on my computer and store it on a disk. I thought I would buy a cd rom drive, then I could do it.

    but now that I have this cdrom drive. I'm going to download the document and it keeps saying disk (?), I put a disc Virgin installation cd in and it does not recognize. Do I have to format the drive? and if yes, how do I do that?

    I put in a cd (musci) and it plays very well.

    It records on my computer as drive D.

    IM missing some knowledge. someone can help me.

    I buy the wrong thing?

    What to buy to add to my laptop, so I can transfer my videos, photos and the paper out of my computer and on a disc?

    Thank you

    I always use Nero or Roxio software, but Windows XP it has a function limited to do so.  First of all, if you must make sure that the drive you purchased is able to WRITE on the discs.  The vast majority are, but you should check that first.  Normally Windows will find the right driver for the latter and load it, but you can check the Device Manager to see.  XP if the memories are good, you click on Start-> support-> Device Manager.  Locate the entry of CD/DVD.  If there is none? or! next to him, you have the right driver.  Also, if your device came with a driver, it is another indication that you probably don't have something special for her.  Then, you will need to check to see what type of disc you have.  Many external DVD/CD players will read and write CD but not write DVD.  There are CDs CD - r and CD - RW.  CD - RW is to be formatted, but normally you don't format CD - r.  You just need to copy and paste to, click the disk, and then open Windows Explorer, on the drive, and you should see something like a list of files waiting to be burned to a disc.  Should be a button there to burn.

    Now, let me propose an alternative.  An external hard drive is much better for purposes of backup CDs.  You can buy 500 GB for $70, and 1,5 to ones for about $ these days $100.  You can also buy flash drives.  You can get a 16 GB one for $10.  These would be at least 1600 pictures.  You can also buy 32 GB for $20 flash drives.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

    I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

    Hello

    Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

    They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

    You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

    Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

    The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

    And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  • Disk drive not found in the Satellite P845T-102 (Code 19)

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite P845T-102 and the disk drive is not recognized by Windows (Windows 8). Does not appear in my computer, has no light and will not eject.

    The drive is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-U633J.

    This is the first time I tried to use it so I don't know if it was never acknowledged, or if a windows update caused a problem.

    Troubleshooting it says my driver is up to date, and Manager of devices displays the following message is displayed:

    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    I have tried to uninstall the device in Device Manager and rebooting without success and have also tried to download the driver on the Toshiba site.

    I would appreciate any advice to help solve this problem.

  • Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

    Hi all (first posting times)

    I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
    But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

    Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

    So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

    Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

    All your advice much appreciated kind.

    If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

    Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

    This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Imagine the following situation:
    You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

    In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

    If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
    I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.
