Disk drive eject is not the disk
When I put a disc in the disc drive on my touchsmart PC it does appear that I have a disk in there. When I try to eject it does not come out so I can't reach it. I really need the rear drive, but I can't get out. Help, please.
Hello

Satellite Pro L300: DVD drive eject does not & recognizes not all disks
Satellite Pro L300 dvd player eject does not and does not recognize the disc that sits in.
Please help someone,
Thank you very much.
What kind of help do you expect?
You mean he s a software problem?
I doubt it because it sounds like a mechanical hardware problem and in this case, the disk must be replaced.
The laptop seems to be is not very old, and I think that the guarantee must be valid
How about you, communicating with ASP in your country and ask for a replacement WEIRD?I think this helps

Making noise DVD player and not eject is not the disk
Hello
yesterday, my wife tried to play a CD in my Alienware X 51 but:
1. the cd never played / appeared in Windows as an audio CD
2. we can not eject it (with key or even a right click on the D drive.)
I ran a diagnostic and received a hardware error:
Error code 2000-0152

Optical drive MsgL 0 - State Incorrect = 1 to registry 0020 error

Everything is tested him ok.
I tried to enter details in the support page, but apart from telling me I was out of warranty, I could all the details on the next steps.
If the material is dead:
1. can I buy a new one?
2. How can I get the CD out?
This is the error message on the support page:
Critical problem detected

Description of the problem:

Have you tried the button on the optical drive emergency eject to release the CD? If this does not work also, this means that the mechanical parts of the optic disc is also defective.
Since you mentioned that you are now out of warranty and if you want to buy a new optical drive for your Alienware, you can call Dell to buy the optical drive for your Alienware.

Need new hard drive, but have not the disks in Windows 7 OS
Recently, I had some problems with my PC and was able to restore the factory settings. Now it seems that my hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced. I have a HP G71-449WM model, produces WA606UA.
Will it also find Windows 7 OS disks somewhere? I didn't need one when I did the restore to factory.
It's the hard drive, which I intend to purchase:
Hello
First of all, the HARD drive in your link is fine, even if you can consider a slightly faster (7200 RPM) - for example, either of the drives on the following links would be very well for your laptop.
The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.
***************************************************
Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.
1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office). They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.
2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here. The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.
Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).
[You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]
1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).
4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.
NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!
5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN
NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.
8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.
9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]
10. restart once again & test.
NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx

When I try to backup Quicken, I received the error: cannot access the disk in the drive E:, please make sure that the drive is ready and the disk is not write protected. My last backup of Quicken was 16/07/2010. I don't know why I can't back up now. Is there a way to fix this?
Why not save to a folder on your hard drive and burn them to a CD - R from there? I can't tell from the little you wrote if the problem is with Quicken (not work or you have incorrectly backup location) or with your CD - RW drive. How about more details to work with?

Re: Satellite C50D-A-13N - Optical Disk Drive eject malfunction of button
Hello
A bit of history; I took this laptop on behalf of my manager at work for the birthday of his son (tomorrow) and offered to set up for him. Unfortunately, the eject button on the DVD drive (and right click > eject in my computer) flashes the light and I can hear the spring trigger, but didn't actually eject the disc.
However, it erases the memory disk in my computer (changes in office 2013 to the DVD player). I know because the paper clip trick works; I am able to insert a paper clip into the slot for manual release. As a result, I have proven that it can read the disks, it cannot simply eject.
Here are the things I've tried various bandages around the web:
-Tried to eject when booting
-Uninstalled driver CD/DVD, auto-réinstaller at startup
-Remove any software related to disk
-Searched high and low for a pilot updated DVD without success.I came to the conclusion that the problem is hardware related instead of something to do with the software, everything is recognized fine, it's just the eject button that fail to work as expected.
Then, because this kid's birthday is tomorrow, what I can do which does not send off for repair the machine?
Thank you in advance!
Hello
If I understand the question; the eject button does not work properly, but you can eject the disc, insert the paper clip into the small hole near the eject button.
Is this correct?Since there is no special software, which controls the eject button, looks like the related problem of material issue and I think that the only option to solve this problem is the replacement of CD/DVD drive.

My CD drive E: suddenly lost the ability to write to DVD discs. It will play the music on it and will write on CD disks. When I check the properties of the E: drive with a new DVD in place, it shows the whole disc in blue and indicates space used 0 and space free 0. MS it difficulty program reports the drive is not recognized as a recordable device.
I used this drive often in the past to make backups, record music, etc. This who might I be missing or it's time for a new CD/DVD drive?
Thanks for your help.
I think you should use Nero. :-)
I never use Windows for this function. Personally, I have had success with Acronis True Image, IMGBurn, CDBurnerXP and Avi2Dvd.

I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ? I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.
Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?
Yes.
You use the disk cloning software. In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.
Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure. As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.
You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products
The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need. For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.
If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):
