• Satellite A60 DVD - RW drive does not

  Hi guys,.
  The DVD - RW drive does not read anything I put in it.
  He works certainly (in some form) because it runs on start and when I put a disc inside, but he can't always SEE.

  I tried to uninstall/reinstall the drive itself, uninstalling/reinstalling the driver. I searched on the net for drivers (thinking that the driver file was corrupted), but I couldn't find a driver for the DVD-RAM.

  I was restarted after each task but still no luck.

  Help, please

  Thank you
  Dave

  Looks like a dead drive. I think it should replace the disk.
  Try to contact the ASP in your country, and it will get you more details.

• CD/DVD-Rom drive does not not on Equium A100

  I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives. I uninstalled everything to do with the webcam and it still does not work. Can someone help me solve this problem without using the recovery disk of the product came with my laptop?

  I had this problem before, but I didn't the first time, it's the webcam that has caused the problem. It s webcam trust wb - 1400T. I had to use the product recovery disc and he had a lot of hassle to install all my programs again and this time I'm in the middle of exams and can't get it all done in time for my exams, as I have vital work on here I have to do.

  .. .Please help me... I think it is the driver, but I don't know how to fix it.

  Hi mate

  > I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives
  To be honest I have never seen that the webcam may have a negative influence on the internal CD/DVD drive.
  I see really no connection between the webcam and ODD... very strange
  Do you get any error messages?

  Anyway, in my opinion, you should try these solution ideas;

  (1) remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the STRANGE and should re-install the drivers.

  2) access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  .. then restart the laptop.

  (3) download and install the tool freeware "CCleaner". This tool repairs registry and solves several problems in System.

  If this does not work, then the new installation of the OS would be wise to check if the problem could be related to a software problem.

• Help! DVD/CD drive does not!

  Help! I used the Microsoft Fix It, I went through community forums and followed the links here and there, I even followed of it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461 that requires you to modify your registry! YET, without success!

  Yesterday, the Windows Vista update ran, everything was hunky dory and a-okay (or so I thought). After that I turned off the computer, ran some errands, the CD-ROM/DVD-rom drive does not work! When I try to run a program installed which requires a disc (like a video game) I get the message "unable to locate the CD-ROM: Please insert the right CD-ROM, select OK and restart the program" even if the disk is in the computer. When I try to insert media, AutoPlay will not... Well... running! I went to the COMPUTER file and found 2 things; underneith the tip where it know "Devices with removable storage" I found a D:\ RW Drive who said that the device was not found, and to the right a menu similer who told me to "Insert a disc" when I clicked on D:\ RW.

  I looked in the DEVICE MANAGER to take a peek at my drivers and find my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver and he told me that the unit was working properly - HOWEVER, when I run Microsoft Fix It he told me something different. He told me my filters of class are corrupt, filter of device drivers are corrupt, device is not working properly, drive is disabled, drive is not assigned a drive letter. Now it's all hunky dory but I don't speak computer, and I would like to DISABLE ONE and non-CORRUPT everything!

  I have already done a system restore and follow the link that requires you to enter in your registry and remove the filters. It's a gateway computer, I already spoke with gateway and they told me to do a factory restore (which I have not yet done because I would like to know if there is a way to fix this problem without uninstalling EVERYTHING on my computer).

  I really hope that this is not a lost cause. Help me to Microsoft, you're my only hope.

• My DVD/CD drive does not work in Windows 8 Professional, and it ISN'T a hardware problem.

  My DVD/CD drive does not work in Windows 8 Professional with or without data or audio in it. However, if I turn off the PC with a bootable CD/DVD in there, the PC recognize the media and initiate the CD when turned on. This confirms that the DVD/CD drive actually works, but for some stupid reason, Microsoft Windows 8 Professional will not recognize the same DVD/CD player it loaded since! Thanks again Microsoft for another product of shit. Now, how are you going to fix this? And how are we supposed to run things such as WordPad or paint, etc. I predict that Windows 8 will fall faster than Windows Me!

• Qosmio G50 - 115 - DVD drive does not burn anything

  Recently tried to do a recovery plus two discs but the player refused to burn but come with 0E01B5-26-2AO444D9 error Code.
  In fact, it does not burn anything but will play.

  Hello

  Have you tried different CDs and DVDs from different manufacturers?
  You must proceed as different disks from different manufacturers are not 100% compatible.

  I had similar problems, burning data to CDs or the different DVD
  Then I tested the drives from different manufacturers, and that was the key!
  Everything worked properly!

  I made good experiences with disc Verbatim and TDK R (CD and DVD)

  I think you should also test some discs

• Pavilion dv7t-2000 dvd/CD drive does not work

  Hello

  I have problems with my CD/DVD drive.

  Recently, I upgrade my Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I noticed that my CD/DVD drive does not work, although I don't know if this is related to the Vista upgrade because I have not used the cd player in a long time. The drive does not read CDs or DVDs that I put in.

  Device Manager indicates there is a problem with the driver for CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. Device Manager displays the following error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

  The device is listed as TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633M ATA Device. The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is the same as that provided with the laptop when I bought it, which is listed as "LightScribeSuperMulti8XDVD + / RWw/DLayer" on my receipt.

  In the properties of the device, I pressed the 'Update Driver' button, but it says that the driver is already up to date.

  I searched HP's site for an updated CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver, but I couldn't find one. I also ran "HP Health Check", but the program cannot find any problems.

  Thank you for your help.

  The problem has been resolved.

  I followed the advice of nazcar4u in a similar thread:

• External Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive does not work with USB 1.1

  Hello world

  I have a problem with the PA3352E - 2 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD COMBO USB 2.0. A colleague is owner of this car and use it on a NB DellC610 with Windows XP on it. The problem is that the drive does not work with this type of nb (with a NB from Fujitsu-Siemens newest there no problems); There is always an error message about "surge." I think it has to do with the USB 1.1 because the player seems to be built for USB2.0. Is it possible to use this drive correctly with usb1.1 (ok, the flow is low, but more important is it works in general)? Unfortunately his nb will not work with USB 2.0...

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Kind regards
  Steffen Rieger

  Hello

  AFAIK this external must have a power adapter. You use it too? I'm not 100% sure, but there are difference how much power Gets the USB slot. Toshiba notebooks is around 500 my and some producers another laptops send between 300 and 500 my. The external device requires approximately 700 my.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
