Dell Precision does not recognize installed Plextor SATA CD/DVD-RW optical drive

Help!  I installed the drive physically and the works of power IE draw randomly goes in & out.  I tried to plug the SATA cable into the two slots on the motherboard and not work IE I don't see the drive in Explorer solutions or my computer.

Model is Plextor PX-810SA

PC:

  • running XP Professional SP2
  • has 2 SATA drives
  • a CD RW/DVD IDE in the top slot 5.5
  • I put the DVD SATA in the 2nd slot 5.5

NB PC still sees the IDE CD RW/DVD drive and I had to run Guided Help which removes the upper and lower filter registry entries a couple of months.

    If it just happened all of a sudden, you can restore the registry files of the system in working order by following option n ° 1 on this page.  If this does not work, you can be reasonably sure that the configuration of the system is not the problem and start looking into other possibilities as a broken drive or a bad connection inside the cable.

  • Portege Z930-118 does not recognize the external USB CD/DVD drive

    My new Z930-118, with windows 7 64 bit home, does not recognize the external CD/DVD drive when I plug it into the USB port.

    The CD/DVD device does not even appear at all in Device Manager.

    The reader is a SE-S084 Samsun and works well on another laptop.

    I already checked for the "upper_filter", "lower_filter" with the regedit, but entries are not there, so no help.

    Hello
    I m not very well how to help you.

    I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

    I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

    From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
    I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.

  • Bootcamp does not recognize the Windows 7 installation DVD

    Hi guys,.

    I've never had a problem installing Windows 7 via bootcamp on my Mac, but it seems an impossible feat, right now! :))

    I have a Windows 7 bootable *.iso, but since I'm on 2010 Macbook Pro, I have to burn it to a DVD and install from there (I can't find the disk of valuable facilities).

    It is, every time that I burn it, it does not get recognized as a bootable DVD with bootcamp and not appear as a boot disk in the selection screen, you need to keep alt right after the startup chime.

    I tried at different speeds (2 x, 4 x, 8 x). I tried to convert the image using disk utility and selection of DVD/CD master and burning at different speeds.

    I'm in two DVD and I don't know what to do :) I've got El Capitan installed (so less disk utility options).

    Please help! :))

    Martin

    This latest DVD Virgin and it worked! BUT dig this error I had!

    Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows 8 installation. Please use a Flash DRIVE or a DVD that contains 64-bit Windows 8.

    WHAT? !!! Even though it says to install Windows 7 or a later version?

    I want to punch someone who works for Apple now!

  • Player does not recognize that the CD or DVD is loaded

    A player does not recognize that there is a disc inserted - when I try to use, it ejects and ask valid.  I tried several CD and DVD with the same answer.  I downloaded the BIOS and readers say that it works correctly.
    Can you help me please?

    Sounds like the drive has failed.  You can try to clean with a CD/DVD audio standard disk cleanup, but if it fails, then the reader should probably be replaced.

  • R6112 does not recognize that some Nero burned DVD

    The kit: Freecom classic Satellite P10 804 16 external, internal DVD RW SD-R6112, x, XP Professional SP2

    Symptoms: DVDs burned on an external DVD recorder re (Freecom classic) is recognized by the Freecom but not by the R6112.

    I mean by recognized, no list directory, the option of reading automatic or other form of recognition occurs when the DVD is inserted a few rattles and nothing.

    Other DVD (with exactly the same brand and specification in the same package) were burned on the Freecom and then read correctly on the R6112.

    the offending DVD was then copied (using Nero) of the Freecom to the R6112 where is burned and checked OK. The DVD is ejected, reinserted in the R6112, and then is not recognized!

    A previously burned DVD is inserted into the R6112 and knows very well.

    So I do the following:
    Remove the DVD in Device Manager and reboot. I get new hardware found messages for
    * DVD-ROM SD - R6112 (strange as it RW!)
    * CD-ROM what?
    In windows Explorer, I find myself with f: DVD - RW (which is DVD RW I already deleted) AND g: CD player. I don't know what this g: maybe I have that the internal drive connected when I started!

    But unfortunately the restarting made no difference. Does not read DVD who have not read before. We still read DVD that would read before. An opportunity, a DVD which does not AutoPlay, finally pulled up after clicking on the drive letter in Windows Explorer (but generally, it makes no difference) and a DVD fires sometimes upward and sometimes doesn't!

    All DVDs in history are of the same brand (Sony 16 x DVD-R) with the same pack, they are all burned with Nero 7 and they are all DVD data format

    So, what's the problem? Is the R116 in the process of disappearance? Is there a driver problem (the update of the firmware says it's useless) or what.

    Its driving me crazy so any help appreciated.

    Hello

    It s nothing unusual. You should google a bit on the Web sites of burner and you will find many people who test many DVD and CD media on different burners.

    It of a simple and sad that no all media are compatible on all players. Not every reader or burner can write on CDs or DVDs. It often happens that the DVD or the CD that has worked on the drive or burner doesn t work on another optical drive.

    Believe me, I tried many media. I could scream :_| ;\

    Now, I use TDK media. But it said nothing. On my drive this media work perfectly, but it of possible you drive will not be able to handle this media.

    However, in the user manual, you should find a list of CD and DVD compatible. I think if you want to be sure that the drive can read and write the CD or the DVD so you have to use media recommended 100%.

  • Security Center does not recognize installed AntiVirus software

    I tried to update my Roxio Roxio 2009 2007 but I have an error message and so I removed the installation 2009 and re-installed my 2007 edition.

    When I removed Roxio 2009 I was correctly or incorrectly advised to remove all references to the "Roxio" in the registry.

    I put "Roxio" in the box search of Regedit and deleted all references to Roxio then maybe that is what caused my problem.

    In addition to this, I have only 1 point of restoration and it is after I re-installed Roxio 2007 after using the cleaning and the points of additional backup option.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    What a fool one program is Roxio for not being able to uninstall their own stuff more graciously.  I read their directions.

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    If you have used the XP cleaning and told to delete everything except your last restore Point, she did what you say, which leaves you with a RP.  What do you think thre certain shortcomings here?  It seems that it works perfectly.

    There might still some AV programs that XP doesn't recognize not and are there is a difference between antivirus and software malware removal tools.  If you are 100% sure you have something useful installed and XP does not detect it as an AV program and complain about this, you can tell XP not not to warn you of this condition.

    To do this, click Start, settings, Control Panel, Security Center, and then click the link that reads:

    Change the way security centers alerts me

    Things together the way you want to and you will not be disturbed by these messages again.  The risk is, you are disabling/undo built in the protection mechanism.  I have nothing of any AV software (on purpose - I look forward to infections), so I have my disabled notification but maybe this isn't a good idea for everyone.

    Some malicious programs, analysis of the programs (such as MBAM) will report this setting (unless there is an infection) and offer to fix it for you because he thinks it might be an affliction.

    When you have the time, I recommend that do you this too:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • CC Desktop App does not recognize installed applications

    Using Windows 7, I installed CC Desktop App and then installed several applications, including the CC of Photoshop, Lightroom 5, etc. When I was installing everthing the application office acknowledged that it had installed all apps, but since the restart he thinks now that I did not install all the apps, so I don't get updates. The Home tab shows yet when I installed everything but when I click on the applications tab, it says I have not installed anything.

    Worked fine on my Macbook Pro, but although the apps I have installed on Windows 7 PC are ok, the CC desktop application does not work correctly.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I went and uninstalled Office CC App and just tried to reinstall it at first (before using the cleaning tool). When I reinstalled everything was fine. He acknowledged the apps that I've installed, until...

    I changed the preferences in the application of CC Office English International and all of a sudden I had no apps installed again! Back on it in North American English and they reappear! This is a bug.

  • Win XP does not recognize the reader of CD/DVD SD R6112

    Hello

    My lapdop does not see the DVD.
    I checked in the system and it seems that the driver is not present, but I did a reserch on the internet and I've not found anything compatible with this DVD player that makes the lapdop recognize.

    Can you help me? The operating system is Windows XP SP2

    Hello

    You mean that the CD/DVD drive is not listed in Device Manager?
    You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS?
    Check this box... If the CD/DVD is not recognized in the BIOS then it means that your CD/DVD drive is dead!

    But if the CD/DVD drive is listed in the BIOS, and if in Device Manager, you see only a yellow exclamation mark then I recommend to remove (uninstall) the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and restart the laptop again.

    After restarting again the CD/DVD drive must be recognized again by OS

    If you are looking for a driver for ODD then I would say; Forget it!
    The OS of windows already contains the driver for the CD/DVD drive and it is not necessary to install other drivers. In addition, this drivers don t exist.
