Drive DVD/RW Optiarc AD - 7201S 5 doesn't work or does not work

I have a HP desktop with an Optiarc AD - 7201S 5 DVD player PC. It worked perfectly but stopped working months ago. I tried Delete upper/lower suggested on other forums as registry keys, uninstall and reinstall microsofts windows drivers, attach it to the tool and I even erased from my hard drive and did a cover of the plant and it still does not.

Watch DVDs it either does not start or starts and plays for a few seconds and then stops dead. try to restart the movie, I get a message telling me to insert a dvd cause there isn't one in the drive.

games it that either won't start at all or with world of warcraft for example installs the first disc very well and when I go to the second it stops dead and will not work without lights on the disk. It is not the cause of discs, I have a second identical computer and the drive that a disc install perfectly.

read and write dvd/rw worked well in the past have not tried recently (I backup important images, website etc. files on the disk and always worked previously.) I now use a usb flash.

the details are below:

driver date 21/06/2006 (never had always used the disk those installed by windows, do not know where to find those to update if there is, windows says Joana re updated.)

6.0.6002.18005 driver version

Driver details:

C:/Windows/system32/drivers/CDROM.sys

C:/Windows/system32/drivers/GEARAspiWDM.sys

These two files are the same on there another system with unit of work.

I really need to get this drive working again. someone at - it ideas? or should I just rip the reader to take a hammer it and just get a new one?

Thank you!!

Hello

It seems that the reader or any other material goes down.

/ Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start - set to CD/DVD 1 safe order then try
to start on a Windows disc. This should be very telling.

Check with a real computer store (not the leeks the glances at a Best Buy or other stores to large surface) or
HP support.

    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    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.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • Download windows 7 OS from a flash drive, I have a new Tablet comes with windows 8 and does not have a CD/DVD player?

    I feel then very hard to adjust windows 8 to work properly I don't want.

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

    Make sure the SD card works on other computers.

    The card reader is a USB device to ensure that other USB devices work.

    Check with HP, their drivers support and documentation online and ask in the forums of HP where it
    others will be with the same or similar model. I hope this is just the driver. It is possible that the device has been
