• Optical drive for XPS 17 (L702X) read is not all disks

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, after that my HARD drive has failed.  After reinstalling on a SSD my optical drive is having problems recognizing discs.

  • Audio CDs are readable
  • Burned data discs are readable
  • An a printer installation disc is recognized, but the drive seemed too hard trying to read the disc
  • Set of diskettes (Starcraft 1 & 2) are all two not recognized at all
  • DVD is not recognized at all the
  • Blu Rays are not recognized at all the

  This player has no analysis of my Dell of the reader.  It doesn't have the 'Linear CD compare Test read' after that everything else in the way of a data CD was necessary for.  The 'Audio CD test' it, but it has never acknowledged any of the DVD after that.  The same thing happened with Blu Rays.

  Windows says I updated all the drivers required.  When I go into Device Manager identifies the optical drive as a "CD-ROM/DVD-ROM readers."  If I ask the Device Manager to search for updates for the driver it says I have the latest version "Drive of CD-ROM."

  I also went to the Dell support Web site and entered my serial number.  I tried to update the firmware on the drive (4 firmware updates are displayed under "Removable storage" and according to me, it says I already have the latest version.

  This computer was delivered at Dell with PowerDVD, I do not have the reinstallation. I have VLC, I could play DVDs. I really hope that getting the right software is not easy, my quick fix. I feel really stupid (but grateful that you pointed out there!)

  I'm 'Ok' when it comes to work on my machine, but I'm still learning a lot.  These are my symptoms and what I tried.  Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from someone.  Thank you once again!

  I use M17X bought in September 09, 4 years of good performance in trouble with SATA and ATA HDs. After some time tried to fix and find materials and parts always treated with Bios Core Secure of the system or has been changed. I'm in the same situation as yours. Here what you need to do to test and verify the performed pieces, then ask media with your serial number, specifications and part numbers.

  1. use Bios to identify the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM optical part still detected with part numbers or not.

  2. diagnosis with CD Sources

  These measures will help to ensure that your readers optical and material always go with it and protected by the system or has been modified.

  I had the same problem since 2012, later than some of my friends using different models and systems such as M18X, M15X asked and showed that they haved problems with this problem of discs discs too.

  Good luck!

• Pavilion dv4: CD/DVD drive recognized but don't read do not

  My DVD RW drive has suddenly stopped reading my CD.  It is recognized, the software is updated, and in the Device Manager, it indicates that the drive works properly, but is obviously not. The Cd has been used the week before with no problems (it contains the files of articles and reviews) but since then has not worked and I never even pulled out of the car so I don't think it's anything wrong with the CD itself.  I recently inserted a music CD and it worked fine.  When I insert the other CD that seems not read at all and funny noises come from the drive and sometimes the compueter will be the way I want to use the player. either as a CD or USB drive.

  The CD works on other computers?

  I understand that your CD/DVD drive on your laptop does not work.

  Can you please answer the following questions:

  You have recently installed software or Windows updates?

  When did you start in this topic?

  Make sure you have the latest version of the installed CyberLink PowerDVD software. Without this software, the DVD drive cannot read DVD or Blu - ray discs. You can download this software here: the CyberLink PowerDVD software.

  You can also try to do a restore system before the issue started if it a question recently of news. You can access the restoration through the HP Recovery Manager by tapping the F11 key, while the portable lights.

  I would like to know if it works for you.

  I got a bunch of things off when installing (HyperTransport, IDE, floppy drive), should I turn all distributed and try to load it up, just to reactivate all later?  Or is there a known solution?  Exact model is the GH22NS30.

  Hi Rustedbucket,

  Thanks for posting on the community forum is ready for Windows 7.

     Collapse this includes this image

     

     type regedit in the Search box, and then click regedit in the programs list.

     Collapse this includes this image

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

     Warning There may be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must ensure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.

  3. In the pane, click UpperFilters, and then click Remove.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.

• Windows 7 don't read is not GPT data readers

  Heyo,

  So I have a secondary data drive and an external hard drive, the two NTFS formatted with TPG. My primary fails HD and I replace, reinstall windows, etc. However, now this computer (and only on this computer; other Windows 7 machines very well) reads the secondary data disk to format RAW instead of NTFS and sees only the unused portion of the external data drive. I installed an update of windows designed for big HDs, update bios and drivers from the chipset.

  I really appreciate all the help you can provide.

  See you soon

  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.

  Hope these helps.
