  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  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
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility.

  Using Windows XP, SP3 with latest updates

  Hello

  1. The hard drive is recognized in another computer?

  If this isn't the case, then the problem could be the hard drive itself. If he is found, then the problem is in your computer. In this case, run the diskpart.exe utility.

  Use the list partition command and see if the partition is detected. If so, then I suggest you to format the drive in diskpart.

  However, take a return of all data on the hard drive before the format by plugging it into another computer. Help with backup data, see

  Backup: what, how, where

  http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/data/backup/about.aspx

  To use the Diskpart.exe utility, follow these steps:

  1. type diskpartand press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.

  2. type list diskand press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

  3. type select disk =[n]

  n s Specifies the number of disc the disc to receive the focus.

  4. type list partition

  This command displays the partitions listed in the table to partition on the current drive.
  5. type select partition =[d]

  This command selects the specified partition and gives it the focus.

   d s Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the partition to receive the focus.

  6. type format drive: / FS: NTFS/Quick

  For more information about commands, see

  A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/300415

  Now you should be able to see the slave drive in Solution Explorer.
