• Load the driver - A required CD/DVD driver is missing

  I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop, and at the time of installation, I get the following message:

  A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. I f you have a driver disk, CD/DVD or player of the USN, please insert it now.

  I guess only he eans there not a device driver for the CD/DVD that contains the installation disk. Which drive do I need and why is it not standard on Windows 7 installation cd?

  Hello

  The following message by Bummed about the details of the Support Forums Windows 7 how he got it past: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/a43574ad-e8d0-4d9e-aa86-6ddfda1e9079/Bummed Tuesday, may 12, 2009 18:25

  

  OK, so after three days to try and fight with the installation I have WIN7 RC 7100 64 bit operating.

  Given that many people had with missing driver CD/DVD, error I was blocked I'll list the steps I took to work. Before I did anything, I downloaded a free copy of Boot disc Hiren with Patch keyboard just in case I had of problems (freeware and easy enough to find if you google it). I found myself only use it for the DOS prompt but hey - ho...

  Some of these steps may seem redundant, but ultimately, this is what took the OS for me:

  1 partition and reformat HD's BACK with the commands FDISK and FORMAT C:

  2. install a Vista 64 bit version which, in turn, re-partitioned the drive itself

  3. once Vista was running (does not have a code because I knew that I wouldn't be on it for a long time) inserted the RC 64 bit DVD

  4. in the install window, I ran the check compatibility online tool

  5. He told me that my ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI controller must be updated in order to install

  6 Ran Wizard to update to Vista which has found a new driver for the ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI

  7 rebooted Vista 64 to finalize the updates updated (removed DVD RC while restarting disk)

  8. once started, re-insert the DVD of the RC, click on install and went through all the normal installation steps.

  Again, this may seem unnecessary (as the FDISK / FORMAT) time, but ultimately it's what works and what I've been through, the problem people seem to have with the CD/DVD driver not found is that the ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI controller is not updated. I couldn't find a place to just "Download driver" and put it on a drive flash or something, I got allow windows to do that I hope it will not be the people back. I'm not enough common sense to see if you can install the driver in another way.

  Hope that this info is of use to someone and if anyone has questions, feel free to leave a message and I'll check it out later today.

  Many thanks to Amrooz and Java_az who helped along the way!

• Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

  Virgin, excused my English ;)
  I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
  0203: failure IDE #2
  Is it possible to remove this message?

  Hello

  As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

  In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

• SE error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "When you try to install new drivers for DVD players

  Original title: CD/DVD drives do not work after upgrade from XP to Vista

  I upgraded my dell E521 to Vista dimension, but now finds that none of the CD/DVD drives work.  I also tried two external drives, same thing.  I downloaded the new drivers for the internal disks and when I tried to install the windows said they already had the best drivers.  Both drives are TSST - I get device status "windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "I want to upgrade to 7, but can not run the dvd, and apparently MS has no download available if you purchase cd!  Am tearing my hair!

  Hi krt2,

  In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

  You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

  Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

  a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

  c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

  d. restart your computer.

  Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

  See the links below for more details on the update of drivers:

• WHILE the error is absent INSTALL WIN 7 I AM facing ISSUE is to say--a required cd/dvd drive device driver

  Hello Sir

  I recently brought lenovo s20 nootbook laptop with win8.1. now I want to change it for win 7 but at the start of the process, I am faced with the question IE a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing error.

  Hi Kothalanka,

  We are there to answer your concern about the installation process of Windows 7 .

  Here are the following reasons why a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing error message occurs:

  • The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
  • A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
  • The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
  • The DVD drive cannot read media.
  • The ISO file is corrupted.

  To resolve your concern, we suggest you use one of the following methods, depending on your situation:

  • Burn the DVD to install at a slower speed.
  • Best DVD quality to create the installation DVD.
  • Update BIOS firmware for your DVD player.
  • Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a bootable USB key and then use the USB flash drive to install Windows.

  If you still encounter the same error after doing one of the above resolution, here are a few troubleshooting methods that you can do:

  • Run the DVD on another computer to determine if the DVD works properly.
  • Test your DVD player using a Windows installation DVD official.
  • Attach the ISO file to a virtual machine to verify if it is corrupted.

  For more information on how to resolve the error a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing , click here.

  Do not forget to back up your files by using a storage device externally (for example USB, external HARD drive) before installing Windows 7 , in order to avoid any possible data loss.

  Let us know how it goes.

  Kind regards.

• Relocation of 7 home 64 bit by usb. Windows Setup needs a driver. message reads (a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing).

  Probably the installation media itself is corrupt. If your Alienware is preinstalled with Windows 7, then you should be able to reinstall using the recovery partition:

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  To restore the image while preserving the data files:
  Turn off your computer.1.
  Disconnect all devices connected to the computer (such as USB key, 2 printer and so forth) and remove any recently added hardware in-house. NOTE: Do not unplug the AC adapter cable.
  Turn on your ordinateur.3.
  When the Alienware logo appears, press several times to access the 4. Advanced Boot Options window. NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.
  Select 5. Repair your computer.
  Select 6. AlienRespawn and backup emergency in the System Recovery Options menu and follow the instructions on the screen. NOTE: The restore process may take an hour or more depending on the size of the data to be restored. NOTE: For more information on AlienRespawn, see article 353560 at support.Dell.com knowledge base.

  If the recovery partition does not work:

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  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

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  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

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  the parameters.

  Original title: another question about the DVD drive is not detected in Windows 7

  I have the same problem that many others have described here on the DVDR drive not detected after installing Windows 7. I still have not solved this issue. But I have another similar problem. The system will not recognize an external USB DVDR drive connected to a USB port. In essence, I have no access to the internal drive (in a Dell Inspiron 1545) or the external hard drive. Without access to a DVD player I can't even uninstall Windows 7, and I can not install or save anything else without a drive. I'm at my wits end. If anyone can help I will shower you with praise.
