Driver missing cd DVD

My cd dvd drive is missing. I tried to repair the windows, no results. I also tried to delete upper and lower filters, I only have upper filters, so this isn't the problem. Don't know what to do now? Running vista. Thank you

What is your model of computer?
Does powers on?

For the office, check the wiring, Plug connectors?

For laptops out there drive and reinstall.

  • Satellite P305 - DVD drive missing registry method attempted

    My satellite P305 lost the DVD icon in my computer.

    So I tried to fix it by using the 'Register' method I have seen anywhere in the forums, but it didn't work as I have found a 'low' I don't think that the name but not the second registry value 'superior '. So now I can't use my PC DVD and I hope that I can reinstall the driver, although I doubt it.

    The computer Troubleshooter said the problem is that the registry file is damaged or missing (before I tried to fix it). I had been using a burner and burn a DVD that took a lot of time to complete the level of 99%, so I clicked to close the program thinking that the information was already coded on the DVD and there is nothing for the program to do but stop, but it did not work and the program have remained frozen. The program I used was called Cheetah Burner, in case you are interested in knowing. So I ejected the disk (perhaps after control-alt-delete, not sure) and probably restart the computer again, to see that the program had taken place.

    So please tell me how to deal with this, soon. I need to solve this young to continue working!

    Thank you

    Ash.

    Hey Ash,

    I think you mean the upper and lower filters in the registry. Is this fair?
    Normally, this should help about problems with the CD/DVD drive but you've already tried this?

    In your case, I would try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager (right click > uninstall). After the reboot the drive will be recognized again and maybe it works.
    In addition, you n t need another driver because it s a part of the operating system. Updated this driver peut t.

    Another interesting thin: you can boot from a disc?

  • CD/DVD drive missing (vista)

    This problem is getting ridiculous.  My CD/DVD drive has been appearing and disappearing in recent weeks power on and off.  I tried the deleting the upper and lower limits registry hack and it seemed to work once, but after a while the disc disappears again, sometimes after the mode 'sleep' and sometimes spontaneously.  Reset used to clear up the problem for a while, but now the drive seems definitely over.  I uninstalled iTunes and Nero, I have because they may have caused problems.  I can't use Device Manager, because the device is not listed, so no way to update the drivers.  I am now at the point where there is much more information that I found Microsoft or from other sources, if anyone has had this problem or knows something, I can try to get Vista to recognize the drive that I would be really grateful.  Thank you!

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Cannot install windows 7-error: dvd/cd driver missing

    Try to install Windows 7 on a different SSD, but get an error indicating that the missing required cd/dvd driver.  How Windows load into memory from a cd/dvd that windows 7 says there is no driver missing?  This is the same installation disc that I used on a previous SSD without problem.  I have 2 other unused installation floppies, and each returns the error message.  This problem arose when an attempt to use System Restore Image I had done just on an external SSD and a drive hard usb.  The error I had to try to use one of them was that the Image was made in EFI and the computer seeks to restore in BIOS. It's the same machine.  Yes, disk management displays the UEFI 100 MB system partition.  The motherboard is an Asus F2A85 - V Pro.  List Disk running installation diisk sees only the cd/dvd and the drive hard usb but not the SATA drives.  When you normally use that List Disk sees everything.  The UEFI bios sees all readers, when you use the system installation disk.  I used a system repair disc made from the same computer at the same time as the picture of the system and used to start and got a system repair options is not compatible with this version of windows.  The windows version is 6.1.7601 sp 1 build 7601.  Any ideas?

    Hello

    Thank you for your response.

    There are two modes of starting particularly machine-> BIOS & EFI. BIOS is the general start mechanism found in most machines. Some of the machines also support EFI boot mechanism with BIOS

    Either the BIOS or EFI is set as the default in your machine - Please check start the installation system which

    one is active by default.

    If the EFI operating system is installed, it will create an EFI system partition in your machine. Installation of BIOS has no EFI partition.

    Warning in the BIOS: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to post in the case where you are facing other problems with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

  • DVD/CD drive will read DVD but not CD

    My DVD player plays DVD but not CD.  Whenever I try to play a CD, the player is a kind of hum noise.  Finally, the Player opens and a popup tells me to insert a disc.

    I tried a system restore and the automated Microsoft fixit tool.  Nothing has worked.

    I use Vista Ultimate.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose 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 burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    You can probably find more info here and maybe even registry settings correct for your CD/DVD drive
    a person with the same model.

  • Error code 19. Drive CD-ROM/DVD-Rom Dell studio hybrid.

    "Windows cannot start this h/w device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged."
    Seen 'Spirit X' answer on the forum and run 'Mr Fixit' article id ref 314060 claiming to have fixed it but problem persists!

    Hello

    You did ALL this as suggested? Please restart at the top and working down the list, as is often
    the set of operations that solves the problem.

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
    them before.

  • Satellite M60 - 164 need Win 7 driver for Player DVD Super Multi TS - 632B

    I have a portable satellite m60-164, I put windows 7 on it and windows does not recognize as a multi drive only a dvd - rw.
    can someone help me find a readers who works on Windows 7?

    PLEASE

    Hello

    I completely agree with Akuma. Windows 7 supports and include clean driver CD/DVD from Microsoft. If the optical CD/DVD drive should be automatically recognized by Win7.

    You see the ODD in Device Manager?
    If there is a yellow exclamation point, remove the ODD of Device Manager, and then restart the device after restarting again the laptop must find new device and should recognize this.

  • Satellite A30 - ACPI driver missing

    Hello
    I have an old A30 that I just installed Win7 on. Everything is fine apart from a missing driver - unknown device ACPI

    In Device manager the hardware ID is ACPI\CMP0101

    Now this laptop fan lights not bad and she has a random problem to close without reason. I checked the fans and they are clear. In my view, that stops can be connected to this driver missing because it can control the temp/fans that stop it overheating, and then I could be wrong...

    I would appreciate any help and advice

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Are you sure that you want to use Windows 7 on this computer laptop oldie? In my opinion, you should be happy with a preinstalled OS to Toshiba. There are all the drivers and tools pre-installed and you don t have the stress with the driver installation. You can have fun with your laptop :)

    As you can see in another thread, you must reinstall Windows to solve this problem:
