  Hello.

  I have a problem with the start on equium a100-psaa43 procedure.

  My BIOS version 1.5
  I put in place a correct sequence in the bios Setup. I mean 1. Secondly, CD-ROM, is my hard drive.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all we should know if the CD rom drive can read any CD.
  Have you tried to read from the Windows OS CD? The operating system recognizes the CD inserted?

  If not, then possibly the ODD drive malfunctions and, therefore, it s not possible to start from the middle.

  Anyway, you can boo from the CD in different ways. First, you can press F12 and you will get a boot menu. There, you can choose bootable devices.
  In the second way, you can try to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop. This button starts the CD player.

• DVD / CD-Rom drive will not read disks.

  I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a software problem.

  When I put a disc in, it runs for 1-2 seconds, stops, turns for 1-2 seconds, stops, turns for like 1-2 seconds, stops (model repeats 3 times at once) and then silence.

  After trying several times to put in and taking the disc, it runs at full speed and I knew that it is a success that it's reading the disc to replay the video. But why it fails then back working again constantly. Solution?

  Also, when my computer is in "sleep" and I wake up, disk she could read his way 'sleep' cannot be detected anymore. Solution?

  The drive model is HP DVD Ram UJ8A2.

  I tried all the solutions software. None of them worked. I have actually used a piece of tissue paper to gently clean the DVD / CD lens a few times and now it works fine. I think the lens must attend a gentle cleaning. Resolved issues.

• my HL-DT-ST DVD + - RW - GSA - H31 SCSI CD-ROM drive doesn't read/burn discs...

  ... It is installed in an Inspiron 531 s (OEM 2007) I think I've tried almost everything - the drivers are up to date, I have uninstalled & reinstalled it, physically, too. Everything seems OK, but nothing works, except that I can open the tray put a disc in and it closes and disc, CD, CD, CD - R, DVD, it is there and nothing really happens, except a window comes up with 'Please insert a disc '. I used it very heavy and burned about 1000 to 1100 drives, until I started having problems with blank CD - Rs. I tried to use different brands of blank discs, but it is eventually died. In addition, an icon 'Remove hardware safely' is in my toolbar in the right hand with my time and network icons. I am running Vista Home Premium OS.

  If the laser in the burner burned?

  What can or should I replace it with?

  You have confirmed the player is bad and must be replaced.

  Try again the trombone - remove the disk in the drive (if it exists) and see if the drive will be

  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
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget 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
