Drive DVD Sony Vaio VGN - CR31S F: does not work

Laptop is about 4-5 years, it was working fine until just recently, I tried to fix with Windows difficulty It Centre, but in vain. Drive (F) no longer recognizes no matter what media (CD of Scripture and other), or it will allow ripping/burning.  The drive from DVD (F) is an a Toshiba... If that's any help.

Any ideas anyone?
Thank you very much

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

I see that you are facing problems with DVD player.

  1. When you say "drive of DVD (F) is an a Toshiba" is an external drive or internal?
  2. Are what fixit you referring?

You can try the steps from the following link and check if this solves the problem of DVD player:

Note: section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:

  • I need a driver/files mouhid.sys, my mouse support does not work. Please thank you!

    I need a driver/files mouhid.sys, my mouse support does not work.  Please thank you!

    Hmm, a strange thing to have disappeared.  Do you have a virus or checked for malware scanner?

    The mouhid.sys file is supposed to be in % systemroot%\system32\drivers.  You pouvez find a copy of it in % systemroot%\dllcache.  If it's not in... \drivers and is in... \dllcache, recopy the... \drivers.  (You may need to do this in Mode safe.)

    Except for the above bit of luck, there are several ways to recover.

    1. use msconfig:

    Get your installation CD or locate a copy online
    Since an administrator account, run msconfig ( -R, msconfig)
    When "msconfig" opens, select the "Général" tab and click on the button "expand file...". »
    (This will open the window to "Develop a Source of Installation file")

    Enter 'mouhid.sys' in "file to restore:
    Enter the path to the DRIVER. CAB file in the \i386 on your installation media directory.
    (or browse to...)
    Enter "c:\windows\system32\drivers" in the "save in:" entry.
    Click "expand".
    'mouhid.sys' is now where never told you develop to...

    2 use the utility auditor of system files (SFC) to check the missing files and restore them if necessary.
    You will again need your installation media and, if you have installed the Service Packs, the CD-ROM for
    the latest Service Pack, you have installed.

    From an administrator account, type: -R, sfc/scannow

    SFC calls for, first of all, your installation media, and then later the service pack CD-ROM.  If SFC wants to replace the files, leave.  If the SFC rejects your Service Pack CD-ROM, read the KB900910 Microsoft Knowledge base article.  Note that this article applies to SP2, but is also applicable to the SP3.  Just use your common sense and use SP3 where the article refers to SP2.

    If you don't have a CD-ROM Service Pack 3, or order it (U.S. / Canada , Europe, Africa , Asia or South America ) from Microsoft or download the ISO (here ) and burn it.  Be sure to Select the appropriate language if you download ISO.  Note, I recommend that you install Service Pack 3 on a CD-ROM, rather than through Windows Update so that youpouvez use SFC with success!

    2. I am trying to clone my HARD drive through of an SSD, but I have a hidden partition on my HARD drive and my clone of samsung software does not work. Any thoughts on how to work around this problem?

    1. with respect to the first question: your system files have been corrupted. Do a System Restore before the app was used.

    Try you "tune up", "maximize", "registry cleaners" or any what kind of app that promises to improve the performance of your PC somehow. None of them improve anything, often at the antipodes (as you discovered). Microsoft W7 already has all the apps. you need to keep your PC in tip-top condt. Try not to add anything.

    All these various named apps. are all 'snake oil' and very dangerous to use. However, you will find a lot of 'logic' online promo. material from "authoritarian" sites as to how will be beneficial for your PC. Not drawn in by these Advertorials :)

    2 the hidden partition is probably "restore to factory condt." partition rescue/recovery of the manufacturer of your computer. This can be used for the rescue of PC when things diabolically wrong with your operating system and cannot be set by any other means. You need an ISO image (clone) of the OS partition and MBR (master boot record) only, not the entire HARD drive.  Including the partition of relief are a very good idea but I'm not familiar with the software cloning you use.

    Download Macrium Reflect free edition for purposes of cloning and recovery and make the CD

    image recovery disk. He advises you to do so (by steps in the simple wizard driven) before using the program for anything regardless of whether the image.

  • Original image has disappeared I think off the hard drive and the BIOS password set up does not work?

    Someone please help me with this!

    I bought this laptop from a friend (have receipt) who sell it to me because the screen was cracked and spidered all out when you the activated. And everywhere he went to ask to get the screen fixed it is very expensive ($250 - $350) and he said that it would be just a newer laptop. So he sold me this which is a model Probook of HP4420s XT940UT #ABA. About a week after I bought this Probook friend who sold it to died me suddenly. It was sudden and terrible. Some time later, I had the time of the purchase of the LCD for this model, replace it myself (was very easy actually) and booted up the laptop with a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition. After installing all my software and using the laptop for a while now, I wanted to get into the Bios that I've never done. So when I started the laptop, click ESC, then F10 to enter the BIOS, there were two places to enter a password is different then all Dell I've ever owned. One was mine I guees I put in place using HP protect tools and the other says BIOS/administrator. Well I can do most of the changes with the one I put in place with my password but my password does not work, nor can I get in some very significant changes that I wanted to do using Bios/administrator, as kindling the LoJack, namely the blocking of the hard drive etc. , turning on turbo boost, fan, etc. Well, since the person I bought is no longer with us, there is no one to turn to the answer to this question of administrator/BIOS password / problem.  I tried to take battery Rtype and restore that way, didn't work. Several times, I called HP and they sent me to a BIOS page to download the same BIOS, I have already, would not let me install it. When I bring up the command prompt and do not put anything in BiosConfigureUtility.exe happens, said just a wrong command. When I try to enter the BIOS through the C: file in the files of the SSM, I reach the BiosConfigUtility.exe file, click on it to open it and it just flashes a way small order page to fast to read what it says. I would like to have complete control over my laptop thinking I have a lot of time and money invested in it now. The problem would have something to do with installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32 bits guess what it initially provided with?  Where can I find the UUID and what tech Department I would ask because if I have to call HP again and what other information should I have ready for them if you know? I have all the manuals and they say that this laptop is compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Pro is what I installed. I'm mixed responses from many different people on this and would like an answer from HP someone who has experience in dealing with the BIOS in the Probooks business models if possible please. I really like this Probook and have since become a big fan of most HP, Dell and Lenovo.  I intend to buy two probooks, one for my wife and one for my daughter because this one is like a MacBook, but better.  Thank you for reading this and I hope someone can help with more than one answer then GET AHOLD OF HP TECHNICAL TEAM. As I said, I did it.

    Model: HP Probook 4420 s

    Type: XT940UT #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate

    BIOS version: 68AHHH Ver.F.20

    SM BIOS Version: 2.6

    Hardware Extraction layer: Version 6.1.7601.17514

    Jason,

    Sorry to hear about your friend and your problem.  The BIOS password cannot be reset without the help of HP.  They will need some information from your PC and increase your case.  I recommend you give them a call.
