• DVD drive has disappeared from my computer and Device Manager lists

  The machine is an Acer laptop with a single disc DVD - RW Win Vista Home Premium 32 running with all the latest updates installed.

  I have not installed anything new (software or hardware), I know.

  The other day the player just stopped working and is no longer registered to each workstation or in the Device Manager list.

  While they inspected the system event logs there is a chain of...

  Event 7026 - the next (s) starting or starting system could not load:

  CDROM

  and...

  Event 11 atapi - driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort2.

  Event 9 atapi - the device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not within the time limit.

  Event 11 atapi - driver has detected an error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 controller.

  I know that the drive itself works well because when I initially turn on the laptop I can hear the drive spin upward and I'm able to eject the drawer, so there the power etc... but once in Windows the drive does not work or even appear anywhere.

  So far, I have tried.

  1. detection of new hardware in Device Manager

  2 - installing all IDE channels and let the system reinstall after re-booting

  3 running the Microsoft Fixit tool, it seems to point out that there is a problem and said fixed it, but nothing is actually fixed by that

  I noticed a few other posts which look similar to mine, but had trouble understanding if they truly are or not.  So apologies if this is a repeat of something already posted.

  OK tried the fixit tool still once, was not aware there were different tools for different issues.  I have the wrong tool launches the first time round.

  Anyway, the drive is still on holiday somewhere, fixit tool reports that it may not detect the drive at all, so that seems to indicate that he does not drive connected.

  Is it possible that the IDE cable has come off the promenade inside the laptop?  I hope that not because I just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure how to get to where the Player connects, but seems almost impossible... can get to all the rest, keyboard and screen disconnected, RAM, disk HARD etc, but the DVD player, not a hope!

  Looks like I'll take it to a service somewhere I guess.

• DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

  After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
  It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
  Help, please

  Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

  Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

• IE8 has disappeared from my computer and I can't retrieve it or download it successfully.

  Works fully update Vista HP on a gateway DX4710-09, Pentium Dual core E5200, 6 GB of RAM DDR2, HD 640GO with lots of space empty.

  Originally 32 and 64 bit versions of IE8 was installed and usable.  Just for a test, on 06/02/13 I installed and set Firefox as default browser but do not delete IE8 or other than to replace it with Firefox by default.  I used Firefox and IE8 such as required and all worked well for a while and then a few days ago two versions of IE8 has mysteriously disappeared from my computer and I was not able to get a return.  I tried to download but for some reason any that does not work.  I checked the list of installed programs and IE8 does not appear here and the two icons disappeared in the start menu, as well as in the Group of quick launch.  An IE folder appears in Windows Explorer in the Program Files folder as the Program Files (x 86) folders.  The subfolders in each list of files with a modification of 18/02/13 date I think it's the date IE8 disappeared.  Being not qualified for one more, I did nothing with any of the files in these folders for fear of making things worse.  Someone care to volunteer to get out of this dilemma?

• cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

  I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

• DVD ROM disappeared from the computer and VISTA Device Manager

  Hello

  I know there are a lot of discussions on the same topic, but I read everything and still my problem persists.

  I'm pretty sure that the problem occurred after installing iTunes. The DVD ROM is no longer accessible on my laptop. The light flashes and the attempts to start a disk, but then nothing.

  I was in the high register looking for filters and bass to remove (such as published in the number of threads). I found only UpperFilters which I deleted but still nothing. I also tried Microsoft FixIt but does not have the ROM either.

  What to do next? Can anyone help? He began to depress me now.

  Well, I have solved my problem. After trying everything I read and was advised to try.

  I simply unplugged the laptop and handed. Then, I reviewed the reader noticing only so slightly, I could see the silver housing of the reader. So I applied a bit of pressure, pushing the player to the laptop so that I could see is no longer the silver case.

  I have not for a minute think that might be the problem. Once the laptop is started, Windows immediately installed the driver and open computer it was. DVD ROM restored.

  Not sure if this may help someone of you guys, but if I post my "fix" :-)

• Portege A600-133: DVD player disappears from my computer

  Hello

  I have a laptop Portege A600-133.
  First of all, it is slow at the opening of my computer screen.

  Second: after ejecting a disc dvd or cd, Windows still shows the contents of the disc, the system hangs for a while, a USB unplug sound can be heard and the dvd player disappears from Windows (in my computer / Explorer / Device Manager)

  What this may be?

  I did already the round of upper/lower filters in the registry, but it does not solve the problem...
  I opened the computer laptop and checked the wiring to the dvd drive, cleaned the contacts, supported on the connectors.

  But the problem is still there...
  OS = Windows XP SP3

  Kind regards

  Arjan

  Hello

  My first idea was to remove the upper and lower registry key filters, but it seems that you have already done this.

  Nevertheless, here is a knowledge of MS on the upper and lower filters article mentioned.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Hmm if the unit is not present in the device manager then this means that the device is not connected or he's dead

  You should check if the ODD (optical disc) is recognized in the BIOS.
  You should also check if it of possible to boot from the bootable CD.

  If this is not possible then it may mean that your WEIRD malfunction

• Cannot find CD/DVD drive in my computer on Device Manager. CD - DVD does not work

  I recently discovered that my CD/DVD drive does not work. It worked fine before. Tried to burn a CD in iTunes, but the error message says that the software or the CD device could not be found.

  My CD/DVD drive does not appear in the computer or Device Manager. I have read a few forums and tried to delete upper and lower filters, but that no longer works. Help, please.

  I am running Windows Vista - it came installed on my computer when it was purchased.

  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.

  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.

  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

  I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

  You cannot copy the drivers installed anyway.
