  • Dimension 9200 put upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and two DVD Rom Sony DVD +-RW AQ160S do not work.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

  • Yet another DVD-ROM does not

    Hello

    I also have another DVD-ROM doesn't work is no problem. The drive used to work fine until I installed a second drive, replace my CD burner by an engraver of DVD - RAM. The second works very well. I'm used to debug hardware issues but was just lazy for a few months. Today, I put a lot of time to test, read the Forum etc. No luck. My system is a Dimension 8400/Win XP and not work drive is HL-DT-ST DVD - ROM GDR8163B.

    No errors in Device Manager. The drive just keeps asking to insert a disc. Any type of disc does work (audio, cd or dvd), but they work very well with the DVD - RAM drive. Here's what I've done:

    1. Uninstall all of the software (with Add/Remove Programs Win) associated with CD - DVD (Nero, InCD, PowerDVD7, producer of energy, to things, I got with the DVD-RAM).
    2. Tried the first simple ideas found on the forum. Uninstall DVD driver and IDE controller and remove all keys filters upper and lower in the register (as you see below redbook remains). Delete all errors in the registry with CCleaner three times, until there was no error on the left. I noticed there are still entries in the registry for software that I removed (whole folder of Cyberlink stuff is still there). Have you not tried to erase that. An example of windows efficiency unsinstalling of things. You get not just on a Mac. Oops sorry for this comment. Maybe it's the best solution. Buy a Mac, put the DVD-ROM and it should work fine... ; >). I used to do the Mac support and installation of a few years back... Anyway.
    3. Unplug the DVD-RAM drive to keep only the no work in the car.
    4. Do the first four steps of this page: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_cdrom&thread.id=138730
    5. Reconnect the DVD-RAM to run Dell diagnostics from the utility CD (I don't have the utility partition because the main hard drive has been replaced). From the DVD - ROM drive self-test. Seek and reading tests just asked to put a disc in the drive, I tried several times. Like in Windows, nothing is known.
    6. Finally, I even tried to remove redbook.sys file drivers, reboot, Windows successor but the DVD-ROM is not working.

    Now, the only thing I can think is to try the drive in another computer. I'll try that, if I can find a friend who let me open his PC.

    Any other suggestions?

  • I don't have a 93 years old goat needs to answer. I want to buy an external dvd drive, but don't know which is compatible with Windows XP, any help would be appreciated

    I don't have a DVD player on my computer, check the Net tells me tht I would need an external DVD drive that must be compatible with my computer which is Windows XP. I'm pretty stupid on computers and since I'm home linked to diabetic neuropathy, a broken femur that stands with 4 screws a nd a replacement hip and you tell the truth, I don't know what allI must tell you as I said I'm stupid on computers. Please let me know what else, or how I can find something else that you need. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
    and DVDs and not just play).

    A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

    Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
    or the FRY.

    This is good, but there are many good brands.

    My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  • Pavilion p6744y: HP Pavilion p6744y DVD-ROM does not not after installing Windows 10.

    I have recently installed Windows 10 on my Pavilion p6744y. Since installation, the DVD-ROM does not work correctly. This worked perfectly before the upgrade of the OS and is the original drive installed by the manufacturer.

    Spin discs and the light flashes, but there is no response from the computer. DVD - ROM does not appear in Device Manager and has been confirmed as "ENABLED" in the BIOS Setup screen. All wires and cables are attached and tight.

    The HP Support Assistant is installed and confirms that all the drivers and software are up-to-date, like Windows Update.

    Microsoft contacted for support and remote access to the PC. They have attempted to install an updated driver, but have been unable to find newer and easier to apply than the drivers already installed drivers. They were unable to solve the problem and advised me to contact HP. Contact HP is not useful because the PC is out of warranty and they expect me to pay for the support.

    Help, please. I suspect all that I need is a updated driver to make the DVD - ROM communicable with 10 visible Windows.

    I know a little about this stuff, but I'm certainly not a computer "guru". Please keep the simple resposnes with easy to understand by a layman terms.

    Thanks for your help!

    I FOUND A SOLUTION!

    To create the registry subkey, follow these steps:
    Press the Windows logo key + R to open the run. (or right click on the windows down icon to the left)
    Type regedit in the run box, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow
