DVD - rom is not recognized by windows xp Device Manager

I have a laptop Satellite M115 with XP and I noticed that yesterday that my cd-rom does not work.  It does not appear in Device Manager at all.   There is a place in systems that say CD-ROMs, but when I click there nothing.  I tried the "fix it" does not.  I looked to try to find the upper and lower registry keys and are not there either.  I even tried to reinstall the cd-rom, but there is no entry for it.  I tried to start with cd player and he did, but the meter turns, it just starts.  Fisically, the drive seems to work, when I put a cd in the drive, he lights up as if it is going to work but does not work.  I can not find anywhere, it is as if it disappeared completely.  I'm not able to be executed.  I rarely use the drive so I know that it is not worn.  I tried to access other programs that would use the player, such as windows and dvd media movies and they say that the drive is disconnected or not.  I have not upgraded to Vista, so it isn't that.  I still have XP.  Do you think that a security update could have wiped out the ability to find the cd-rom?  If so, what is it?  I do not have a virus I know.  My antivirus can't find anything and cannot care Windows online.  No infection.  I would eliminate the pc with a clean install, but it will not read my disc! I am at my whits end!  Any help at all would be deeply appreciated.

     Download XP_CD-DVD - Fix.zip and save this file on your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it, and double-click the file to extract the content. Find the EXE file that you extracted and double click it.  A confirmation dialog box appears when the script is done.  You may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

    Have a double microphone 16 X 8 DVD/CD RW advantage which is not recognized by XP Professional.  Also have a CD unit and when windows installs the drivers - it gives them both the same driver.  DVD RW is only recognized as a CD! Have used Microsoft fixit and he says everything is fine. -It uses the same driver for CD and DVD RW units.

    Have also an ATi Radeon 9550 AGP 250 M for the video and VGA and Windows XP does not - have question marks for them in Device Manager.  Microsoft fixit - did fix this problem.

    Have deleted the drivers and tried to control the computer for downloads by Microsoft and it can't find them - if I do a check for hardware changes, he finds only those who do not work properly and that don't work at all, as indicated above.

    Also went on the Microsoft Web site and cannot find a solution it - clicked on links with any help that I could see.

  • DVD ROM disappeared from the computer and VISTA Device Manager

    Hello

    I know there are a lot of discussions on the same topic, but I read everything and still my problem persists.

    I'm pretty sure that the problem occurred after installing iTunes. The DVD ROM is no longer accessible on my laptop. The light flashes and the attempts to start a disk, but then nothing.

    I was in the high register looking for filters and bass to remove (such as published in the number of threads). I found only UpperFilters which I deleted but still nothing. I also tried Microsoft FixIt but does not have the ROM either.

    What to do next? Can anyone help? He began to depress me now.

    Well, I have solved my problem. After trying everything I read and was advised to try.

    I simply unplugged the laptop and handed. Then, I reviewed the reader noticing only so slightly, I could see the silver housing of the reader. So I applied a bit of pressure, pushing the player to the laptop so that I could see is no longer the silver case.

    I have not for a minute think that might be the problem. Once the laptop is started, Windows immediately installed the driver and open computer it was. DVD ROM restored.

    Not sure if this may help someone of you guys, but if I post my "fix" :-)

    Hello

    I studied in the Microsoft Knowledge base, and it seems that this error is displayed because the driver returned error in her routine to the driver entry.
    I think that you need to uninstall the driver, and then click find the hardware changes to reinstall or upgrade the driver.

    You can do it in Device Manager. Otherwise, you can remove the drive in the Device Manager list and after restart of the new mobile operating system should recognize the drive again.
    After this procedure, you should test the device if it will work.

  • Bay DVD replace HARD drive not recognized by Windows

    I have a 7737 with the 256 GB SSD, but I wanted more storage internally and was not too annoyed to have DVD - so I bought a caddy and replaced the optical drive with a WD Scorpio Black 750 GB drive.

    When I went into administration - computer management - disk management tools, he acknowledged that the drive was there because he told me that he needed reprogramming - so I went ahead and let him. The disc quickly disappeared from the list, and I can't do anything that he can come back.

    I tried to refresh, rescan the drives, restart (how can I confirm the BIOS recognizes the drive correctly, as the "SATA ODD', but Windows still refuses to acknowledge that he is here.) Device Manager displays only the SSD and scanning for hardware changes have no effect.

    Maybe it's a coincidence, but now my laptop seems a touch slow, especially in the graphics... and I noticed that in the Task Manager, System interrupts now takes 10 percent of time CPU on average. I can't say that I've never noticed that before. My old Samsung laptop (which has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated card, to be honest) claims system interrupts doesn't take any time at all CPU. This seems to suggest a conflict any exist, and maybe that's why the drive is not recognized?

    Because Device Manager is not see it, I can't check for updated drivers.

    Because disk management can't see, I can't format / partition / assign a drive letter.

    The BIOS does not let me do anything with the drive, go into properties or disable / re-enable, or something like that.

    Can anyone suggest what I might have missed in the configuration, or what I can do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, I can't find a downloadable diagnosis for your laptop. Try Seatools. Seagate website has a download, that you can use to create a CD bootable or flash player to test hard drives.

    I just want to see if a tool outside Windows can detect the drive and all the problems.

  • Yet another DVD-ROM does not

    Hello

    I also have another DVD-ROM doesn't work is no problem. The drive used to work fine until I installed a second drive, replace my CD burner by an engraver of DVD - RAM. The second works very well. I'm used to debug hardware issues but was just lazy for a few months. Today, I put a lot of time to test, read the Forum etc. No luck. My system is a Dimension 8400/Win XP and not work drive is HL-DT-ST DVD - ROM GDR8163B.

    No errors in Device Manager. The drive just keeps asking to insert a disc. Any type of disc does work (audio, cd or dvd), but they work very well with the DVD - RAM drive. Here's what I've done:

    1. Uninstall all of the software (with Add/Remove Programs Win) associated with CD - DVD (Nero, InCD, PowerDVD7, producer of energy, to things, I got with the DVD-RAM).
    2. Tried the first simple ideas found on the forum. Uninstall DVD driver and IDE controller and remove all keys filters upper and lower in the register (as you see below redbook remains). Delete all errors in the registry with CCleaner three times, until there was no error on the left. I noticed there are still entries in the registry for software that I removed (whole folder of Cyberlink stuff is still there). Have you not tried to erase that. An example of windows efficiency unsinstalling of things. You get not just on a Mac. Oops sorry for this comment. Maybe it's the best solution. Buy a Mac, put the DVD-ROM and it should work fine... ; >). I used to do the Mac support and installation of a few years back... Anyway.
    3. Unplug the DVD-RAM drive to keep only the no work in the car.
    4. Do the first four steps of this page: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_cdrom&thread.id=138730
    5. Reconnect the DVD-RAM to run Dell diagnostics from the utility CD (I don't have the utility partition because the main hard drive has been replaced). From the DVD - ROM drive self-test. Seek and reading tests just asked to put a disc in the drive, I tried several times. Like in Windows, nothing is known.
    6. Finally, I even tried to remove redbook.sys file drivers, reboot, Windows successor but the DVD-ROM is not working.

    Now, the only thing I can think is to try the drive in another computer. I'll try that, if I can find a friend who let me open his PC.

    Any other suggestions?

  • Pavilion p6744y: HP Pavilion p6744y DVD-ROM does not not after installing Windows 10.

    I have recently installed Windows 10 on my Pavilion p6744y. Since installation, the DVD-ROM does not work correctly. This worked perfectly before the upgrade of the OS and is the original drive installed by the manufacturer.

    Spin discs and the light flashes, but there is no response from the computer. DVD - ROM does not appear in Device Manager and has been confirmed as "ENABLED" in the BIOS Setup screen. All wires and cables are attached and tight.

    The HP Support Assistant is installed and confirms that all the drivers and software are up-to-date, like Windows Update.

    Microsoft contacted for support and remote access to the PC. They have attempted to install an updated driver, but have been unable to find newer and easier to apply than the drivers already installed drivers. They were unable to solve the problem and advised me to contact HP. Contact HP is not useful because the PC is out of warranty and they expect me to pay for the support.

    Help, please. I suspect all that I need is a updated driver to make the DVD - ROM communicable with 10 visible Windows.

    I know a little about this stuff, but I'm certainly not a computer "guru". Please keep the simple resposnes with easy to understand by a layman terms.

    Thanks for your help!
