DVD burner disappeared

everything I put in my dvd/cd drive the pc does not see it.  Is there a driver I need to download?

I have Dell Studio Slim

Help!

Hi Deweyevans00,

If you have Windows 7, please see my link below on the fix MS CD/DVD (upper and lower filter thing). Let me know if that restores the functionality of your DVD player. If it isn't, then I would test the drive using Dell diagnostics from the utility partition F12.

    Hello

    Everything looks like a hardware malfunction.
    But what exactly do you mean by disappear? The drive is not listed in the my computer zone, or he can simply read and write media?

    However, after 2 years of work it s not unusual that the player will start malfunctioning I guess that the lens of the drive can read and write the CD or the DVD.

    Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Unfortunately discovered the window of Windows 7 DVD writer disappeared. (Data disc, burning on Windows Media Player is not useful) I do home movies, photo slideshows and have no way to burn them. (So that they can play on a DVD player) I don't know what they were thinking when they took the engraver of DVD of Windows 8, because I would be more then happy to pay for it!

    Since it no longer exists, but is - anyone out there found any good software? I'm looking for something simple, preferably $100 or less. I bought a DVD Creator software to date and it has been a NIGHTMARE!

  • -DVD burn does not work in the DVD player sometimes

    I have a Mac Pro from the beginning of 2008, and it came with a DVD drive (OPTIARC DVD RW AD - 7170A).  I was able to burn DVDs with using toast in the past.

    But lately, the half of the DVD burn won't play in my DVD consumer player.  I get a "Disk error" message when I try to play them, and they do not load.  It's a strange problem, because some of them work and some do not.  I can't tell where the problem is.

    Is there a way to test the DVD player?  Should I just replace it?

    Many brands of blank DVDs gives very inconsistent results when burning. If you use a brand store or generic blanks, that may be the problem.

    The optical drive on my mac mini 2009 died. I need to burn a project to a DVD. I have attached an external DVD burner for mac. I play DVD. How to record from iDVD please?

    I had a similar set on one of my Mac mini.  My internal optical drive still works fine, but I bought an external burner because the Apple optical drive cannot burn the M-DISC.  (M DISC is what we use now.)

    Don't burn your DVDs from iDVD. Instead, use iDVD to create an image file and then burn the image file using the disc utilities. Utility disk will be out and find all your drives connected and it should see externally, (he does with us).

    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...

  • Portege A100 - problems recognizing a new DVD burner

    Hello

    I'm looking to replace the Panasonic/Matsu * player UJDA750 combo with a LiteOn SOSW - 852S DVD burner. The LiteOn is CSEL and is not recognized by the Portege A100. I tried to change the master/slave/CSEL and Inverse CSEL using E2MS_WIN_SOSW - 852 S .exe (in an Acer Travelmate 220, which sees all configurations), but the Portege A100 still does not recognize LiteOn.

    I ran IDEDIAG using a WinME boot CD and the Matsu * a Combo drive in Portege reports as secondary master. So, I tried flashing the drive LiteOn (using the Acer Travelmate platform) with MTKFlash version 183 c using the a command? "mtkflash 3 w/b PRS9.bin" (using the original firmware of saved), '3' to change the drive to the secondary master. I came across problems here - the flash appears to hang. The drive is always ok, however. I flashed it back to the original ok CSEL using E2MS program in Acer.

    I have not tried bridging the pins 45 to 47 on the LiteOn - I thought maybe it was a last resort.
    -Can help you with the correct configuration for a CD/DVD drive in the Portege A100? There are a bunch of different ones - primary, secondary, tertiary, Quarternary master/slave and CSEL and Inverse CSEL. Portege A100 'sees' the Matsu * a CDROM model CR-176_B of Acer.

    Or - can you recommend me a DVD burner for this laptop?

    Hello

    The evolution of the master/slave/c-salt settings is not recommended and tell the truth I put t know if its possible. I presume that it of not possible to Flash these settings on medium power.
    In my opinion it doesn't make any sense to do.
    This procedure may damage the drive. Maybe you will not be able to use this drive more and more you will void the warranty!

    I think it s better to buy a compatible device and supported as trying to drive not compatible flash.

    Did you check your user manual? Usually the user manual should provide information on compatible CD/DVD players and supported.

    Good bye
