Equium A60: BIOS does not recognize the CD-DVD-ROM

Hi, the CD-DVD-device is not recognized by my Equium A60. It has worked fine for over a year, but now, even if the machine is running and the light comes on and goes off, it is not recognized by the computer.
It is not in my computer, nor in the list of hardware devices. When you start the computer, the BIOS don't recocgnize it or.

It seems that it is a hardware problem... Any idea?

Thank you

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

    OK, you have installed the disk HARD of another laptop but too format the HARD drive? I mean if the HARD drive performed from another laptop, you need to reinstall Windows because now you have other hardware installed.

    Hello mike salinas.

    1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

    2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

    I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

    Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

    You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

    Thank you

  • Satellite A60: keyboard does not work, the recovery DVDs cannot run

    Hello

    I have a serious problem with my A60: the keyboard no longer works. I tried many solutions and the last of them, recovery with the Recovery DVD - ROM product does not work, because I can't use the keyboard!

    When the screen with the 3 choices, I have no opportunity to respond.
    Someone has an idea?

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    They keyboard might not be the problem, or it may not be connected properly to the motherboard the best thing to do is to take it to a service center, it should not cost you anything, if it is still under warranty... but if it's just the keyboard and your laptop is out of warranty then it should cost more than 100-200... can't say how much exactly, because I have no idea.

  • ESXi does not recognize the cd/dvd on HP DL380

    In addition, once you can convert many of your applications and or OS installs in ISO format, you can just use your Infrastructure Manager client and connect an ISO to some VM you must have a 'CDROM' inserted in to.

    For example, if you install Citrix and you have an ISO copy locally or on your network, you can simply start the virtual machine and then click 'connect/disconnect devices on CD' point to your ISO image. VMWare then moved the 'CD' for the virtual machine and it will be accessible as would a normal CDROM.

    When you do that, your local CDROM in the ESX box really is not used for a lot more outside upgrades to ESX 3.5, and even what is done remotely today for ESX 4.

    Hope this helps
