• How can I make a new installation on an old HDD IDE. It is 80 GB but will not recognize disk.tried HARD drive on multiple computers

  I know that the disc is good, it's a disc bought in store.

  IDE is now old technology.  You must understand that you need to set the IDE hard drive as the MASTER drive, usually on the primary IDE 0 channel.  As far as I saw, most motherboards tend to be configured with SATA ports for HDD with priority, with the only IDE channel for optical drives.  You must change the boot priority in the BIOS.

• DVD writer will not burn disks in XP Pro...

  I'm having a problem with a recently re-installed Windows XP Pro (in fact, Media Center Edition 2005, updated with SP3). I can not burn DVD at all; I've tried three different readers of verified and made a 'repair installation' to the BONE, but no dice.

  In 'My computer', the drive (SATA, Samsung SH-S223C drive) presents itself as "DVD - RAM Drive (E :) ', but when I insert a blank DVD-R media, the name changes to 'CD Drive (e)' and pushes me, as usual, to open an accessible folder writable.). If I open the drive in the Solution Explorer, controls do not show that it can be "written". The same thing happens with two other known readers, who are all two PATA interfaces.

  In the "Properties" for the reader, "Enable CD writing for this drive" is checked. In Computer Services, "IMAPI CD burning... '. ' is running.

  I tried various checked drives and different brands of media (known to be good on the other PC), so the problem must be in the OS somewhere. I can't run the "Fixit" tool, because it invites me to .NET Framework 2.0 or later version, and I've got .NET Framework 4 already installed (what is yet another problem?).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Windows XP does not work (not never, will likely not ever) natively write on DVDs.  CD, Yes, he has limited there.  DVD - need a third party application.  You are using.

• Dimension 4550 DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM will not read disks

  My daughter has a Dimension 4550. The engraver has recently left working, so we replaced it with a Lite-On DH-20A4P-08 DVD - RAM drive. We played a couple of moview and a CD on the new drive. Today the old DVD-ROM new DVD-RAM both refuse to recognize that a disc is in the disc (DVD or CD); He says: no disc in the drive. We have checked the cable connections and updated the driver for the new drive with no luck. We also tried the Dell store without success.

• Satellite A500-141 - the CD/DVD drive will not recognize any disk in the status bar

  I watch the DVD yesterday and he played upward halfway through and almost jerky. Ejected and thought no more of him now, the player will not recognize any disc, be it video or sound. I tried a system restore but still the same thing that it is not read disks. Any help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi quietly,

  If your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, how do you have a system restore?

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation mark on it?

  Maybe the lens is dirty and must be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth. Open try CD/DVD and try to clean the lens with a clean Microfiber cloth.

• My windows will not recognize my CD/DVD drive

  My computer crashed recently and since then windows will not recognize my CD/DVD drive. My removable disk (e :)) is there, but I was told that windows cannot access the disk.) Also when I try to eject a developed error warning.

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  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
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

• S5-1060 casing dvd player does not recognize the Bluray disks after you restore windows 7

  I have a s5-1060 casing with a HP DH12E3LH bluray player, recently the computer was so I took out the restore disks and just do a fresh install of windows 7, it works fine now, BUT the only thing I can't understand is why my bluray in unity player not to see, recognize or play blurays now.

  The Device Manager shows the best drivers are already installed (21/06/2006 microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 driver), and he will play CD, DVD, just does not recognize a bluray disc.  I might say, we watched top of 25-30 movies on it so I 'hope' is not burned or something altogether.

  It indicates that the device is working properly in Device Manager he calls it a cdrom drive (not sure if it matters), but with a bluray in the drive, it shows under properties / status / no media in the drive.

  I'm not really sure where to start on this, drivers seem strange to be so old, is it a firmware I can update if so where can I get that info, I went to the hp site let it detect the computer saw the driver updated but nothing which was directly related to the cdrom drive.

  Thanks for any help on this just stumped at this point, as it was working before the full restoration to the computer using the recovery disks, then there must be something simple.

  Hello FTLOSM,.

  I understand that after making your computer your Blu - ray discs won't play in Windows 7. I'm you provide a document from HP support: solve the DVD and Blu-ray movie problems (Windows 7) that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. I would focus on the topic impossible to watch movies in Blu-ray 3D. I am also you provide the link to the Drivers of HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 desktop PC page.

  I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
