DVD drive will burn discs and not read the content

• My BDDVDRW drive will recognize is no longer read the audio CD, but both DVD and BD

  I have a HP pavilion dv6 under Windows Home Premium with a HP BDDVDRW CT40N. I have never had any problems with the optical drive. About 2 weeks ago, I started ripping of audio CD on my hard drive using Windows Media Player. I pulled about 15 CD over the 2 weeks. Then all of a sudden the drive read audio CD - I put a CD in and nothing, even after hours. If I click on the player it ejects and answers please drive inset.

  So I thought it was the CD and inserted other CD, even the ones I had just ripped - nothing. But it reads the DVD fine; I just saved a DVD with it.

  The machine is about 5 years old, but it works well, so I thought maybe it was the reader. I have another computer; It only a little more than a year, with a HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT40N and running Windows 10. I started to rip from CD with this computer also with Windows Media Player. Guess what - same thing.  I was able to extract only 3 CD before he showed the same symptoms: can't see CD; no problem with DVD.

  Finally, I went to my wife's computer, a different HP running Windows 7 with a DVD - RW disc. This time, think of some sort of virus or malware may be responsible, I made sure that there was no Internet (not ethernet WiFi or Bluetooth). I ripped a CD and then the same thing.

  All three computers has failed using different CD - it wasn't the same CD that was torn apart last before failure.

  I doubt very much that three different computers with different symptoms of operation and different readers might undergo the same material unusual problem in few days after execution of the software even on different CDs. There must be something about the use of this extraction software (Windows media player) or disk characteristics of driver that blocks the CD (apparently after extraction).

  I'm only moderately tech savvy, but successfully, sometimes after a considerable effort, more than anything I tried. I have had no success with this (towards even a problems prior restore point) and am at a total loss.

  Help, please.

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  Hi msavage2000,

  It seems you have tried most of the steps to solve this problem. However, we would like to know if the drive does recognize the drive?

  As we know readers work, I would like you to try a new PATA/IDE cable and check the result.

• zd7000a (Win XP MCE) DVD drive will write on CD, not DVD

  My scanner suddenly stopped writing to DVD. Using Nero, it fails with a generic error message. Using the native ability of Win XP passes the title of car of "DVD / CD + RW" in the window of the Explorer for just 'CD player' if I insert a blank DVD and refuses to let me drop files into the window.  I can write to CD fine both using Nero and Win XP.  I can play DVDs, as well.

  I tried to delete the drive in hardware and re-Startup Manager to force reinstallation of the driver; no help.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I assume that you have installed Win XP on this oldi.
  Win XP and other systems such as Win Vista or Win 7 use the Microsoft CD/DVD driver and a STRANGE special drivers is therefore not necessary.
  The ODD (optical disc) must be recognized by Win XP automatically without installation of any other drivers driver update is not necessary.

  I recommend the removal of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager, and then remove the upper and lower registry filters.

• Stereo does not read the Sansa Clip after firmware update

  Hello

  I upgraded to the last 2.01.35a of the previous 32.

  Before that, my channel stereo would connect to the Clip and play songs using the USB connection, I can use the remote to change songs, now with the new update of the firmware it does not read the content of the Clip.  Clip said 'Connected', but the stereo repeat me 'Reading' forever.

  I came back to the previous version and it works again.

  Is there a problem with the latest version of the firmware?

  Also, since I was in Europe, Updater I updated the European version and this limited the volume a LOT.  So I downloaded the US version is now at normal volume.  The European version is too quiet and I can't hear a thing if there is a background noise. But still, the USB connection in the stereo works with version 2.01.32 and not 2.01.35.

  any ideas?

  Thank you.

• my cd/dvd drive will not read or burn.

  Hello

  Used speed, the actual brand of discs, burning and if file Live or mastered all come into play.

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s do not read or burn discs

  Hi, I'm Natalie and I need help with my problem that occurs.

  Operating system:
  Windows XP Home Edition
  Laptop Toshiba Satellite
  Model A75-S229
  Multi recorder drive: CD and DVD

  The problem that happens is that I can not get any CD or DVD to work when I put them. What is happening is he's trying to load but makes the window "Not responding", unless I have the disc, then everything will be fine. What is also involved, is that I can't burn discs at all, at any speed.

  Also, I would add, when I go to my computer > right click on the DVD - RAM drive > properties and under the general tab it states:

  Type: CD player
  file system: unknown

  I don't know if that's the problem...

  Can someone help me?

  HI Isabelle.

  Please check in the Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your optical drive. Normally this will be displayed as an exclamation point against the device.

  The fact that the file system is listed as "unknown" is because the drive could not read the format of the disc so that Windors Explorer cannot identify any file structure.

  Your problem could be something very simple like a lens dirty or a faulty device driver. It is not easy to tell from your description exactly what can be wrong, but I would say you try some of the easy options so try first to clean the lens, and if this does not resolve your problem, then try to remove the drive (Device Manager) and reboot for the device will be installed new.

  If all else fails, you will have checked player be an authorized Service partner.

  Kind regards
