DVD player does not recognize blank DVDs.

I think that my drive can write to DVDs, but it doesn't even recognize empty (when I go into my computer after burst in, nothing doesn't appear). The disc seems to turn for a few seconds, then stops. He can read the previously empty DVD that had something serious on it by someone else. Research online I found that the problem is very common.
In the properties of the drive, it says disc SAMSUNG HD160JJ/P and HL-DT-ST DVDROM GDRH10N CD dvd/drive under hardware. I'm pretty sure he can write, but I could be wrong.
Thank you in advance, I would really like to do something with all my blank CD/DVDs.

This part of the drive name indicates that your drive is read-only, and cannot write DVD:

HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDRH10N

If you want to write DVDs, you will need to purchase an optical drive DVD - RW. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    One question; Why you want to read a blank CD? ?:|
    As you say all the CD and DVD is recognized, but only the blank CD cannot be read.

    Regarding the driversa? ... you're right, the update of the driver is not necessary and is not possible because the Windows operating system uses a clean Microsoft drivers to run the ODD.

    But have you already checked these threads?

    You can try to remove the drive from the Device Manager list CD/DVD. Then you can access the registry and could remove the
    UpperFilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Finally, you can use 3rd party software like Nero to burn for example.

    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

    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

    A player does not recognize that there is a disc inserted - when I try to use, it ejects and ask valid.  I tried several CD and DVD with the same answer.  I downloaded the BIOS and readers say that it works correctly.

    Sounds like the drive has failed.  You can try to clean with a CD/DVD audio standard disk cleanup, but if it fails, then the reader should probably be replaced.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

    I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

    You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

    1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
    2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
    a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
    b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
    c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
    d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
    e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
    3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
    4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
    5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

  • S5-1060 casing dvd player does not recognize the Bluray disks after you restore windows 7

    I have a s5-1060 casing with a HP DH12E3LH bluray player, recently the computer was so I took out the restore disks and just do a fresh install of windows 7, it works fine now, BUT the only thing I can't understand is why my bluray in unity player not to see, recognize or play blurays now.

    The Device Manager shows the best drivers are already installed (21/06/2006 microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 driver), and he will play CD, DVD, just does not recognize a bluray disc.  I might say, we watched top of 25-30 movies on it so I 'hope' is not burned or something altogether.

    It indicates that the device is working properly in Device Manager he calls it a cdrom drive (not sure if it matters), but with a bluray in the drive, it shows under properties / status / no media in the drive.

    I'm not really sure where to start on this, drivers seem strange to be so old, is it a firmware I can update if so where can I get that info, I went to the hp site let it detect the computer saw the driver updated but nothing which was directly related to the cdrom drive.

    Thanks for any help on this just stumped at this point, as it was working before the full restoration to the computer using the recovery disks, then there must be something simple.

    Hello FTLOSM,.

    I understand that after making your computer your Blu - ray discs won't play in Windows 7. I'm you provide a document from HP support: solve the DVD and Blu-ray movie problems (Windows 7) that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. I would focus on the topic impossible to watch movies in Blu-ray 3D. I am also you provide the link to the Drivers of HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 desktop PC page.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
