• CD/DVD drive does not recognize the DVD media disc.

  Greetings,

  Had problems with my CD/DVD drive not being able to recognize that a DVDmovie disc is in the drive.

  I tried to turn on/off, reinstalled the driver, update the driver, check if AutoPlay is enabled (currently set to invite me) and have used the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting system which could not solve the problem.

  I am able to burn data and audio files on CD/DVD very well, it will read the same types without problems.  But whenever a DVDmovie disc is, it does not recognize, there is a disc in the drive, or Autoplay hit.

  Also clean the laser lens with isopropyl alcohol.

  Thoughts?

  Honestly, I had not checked immediately after I cleaned the lens, but it works now.  I am convinced that cleaning the lens resolved.

  I had posted this, and then read somewhere else to clean the lens, has made, edited my post saying I had it done and then tried a DVD and it worked.

• This morning update of Firefox has been downloaded but does not restart the laptop. He's trying to start and the lights on the keyboard. He continually tries to restart. The screen is blank. It was working fine until I clicked on restart.

  PC IS A COMPAQ PRESARIO V6000 RUNNING WINDOWS XP

  PC DOES NOT RESTART AFTER THE LAST FIREFOX DOWNLOAD THIS MORNING

  The PC screen does not light and I think he's dead. It can be quite fortuitous, and there may be a hardware failure that he would have stopped working even without the download of firefox. I'll have to consider Repair shop and see if anything can be saved on the hard disk.

  Thanks anyway

• Remove the disc hard virtual does not remove the vmdk files

  Hi guys

  I have 2 virtual disks attached with 1 VM. I'm trying to get rid of the 2nd virtual disk. After removing successfully without error, it seems always on the data as _1.vmdk store. I presume that it must automatically disappeared from the store of data too.

  I can add this disc again and start the virtual machine without problem.

  In the past, I have deleted the virtual machine complete and all the associated HDs went but this is the first time I remove 1 hard drive.

  any advice?

  Thanks to the adv.

  Sure! If you select, the virtual disk will be removed only from the virtual machine, but it will always be in the data store. just like what you are facing now. For your needs, you wil had to select B, where the virtual disk will be removed form the machine virtual and then permanently deleted.

  Hope it will be much clearer to you now...

• dv4-2170us does not recognize the hp recovery discs

  I had to replace the hard drive in a laptop dv4-2170us.  Order the HP recovery discs.  After the updated windows install would not work.  I called HP support and they sent a new recovery disks.  The new recovery discs are not recognized.  Get no boot found device, insert the disc and press any key.   I checked the HP site for new firmware and drivers for the dvd drive (HP DVDRAM GT30L) and he says they are up to date.  The version of the firmware is mP04.  I uninstalled the dvd drive in Device Manager and rebooted.  He installed the drive to dvd again and I still have the same problem.  I tried the recovery discs that were not recognzied in an another Dv4-2170us and they are recognized.  I don't understand why the first set of discs have been recognized and the replacement recovery disks are not.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Problem solved!  I found there are 2 problems.  (1) there is a problem with the optical drive.  Another laptop of the same model and switched optical drives.  I could then read the second set of HP recovery disks.  The second and third sets sent HP recovery disks had a blue tinge on the data side.  I guess this type of disc is done with a kind of new process and the problem pc couldn't recognize them.  Problem (2) Windows Update doesn't work after recovery has been resolved by installing the driver Intel Rapid Storage Tech.  I found a post where someone had replaced their hard drive and had the same problem.  So if you have had a hard drive crash and replace, and then can not get windows update to work, try to install the driver of tech IRS.

  While I can't complain about some of the HP support, they send me two sets of discs of recovery free and expressed them in the mail, I feel some of their support staff lack the technical knowledge, they should have.  I'm no Wizard of computer science but after finding several messages from people having the same problem I had and no one says that the IRS tech driver could be the cure, I feel that their technical support has been insufficient.

  Hope this helps those of you with a similar problem.

  I found the problem.  See edited message.  Part of the problem of the optical drive, but I'm not dirty it was.  As I said, it would recognize the original recovery disks sent.  They did not have a blue tint on the side of the disc.  After rotation of the optical drive, blue dyed discs have been recognized but remained the problem of windows update after recovery.  The first series of disks would have worked if I had installed the driver of tech IRS.

• While trying to install XP Pro on T60 he does not see the hard drive, but the fact of the laptop.

  Have a lenovo t60 disk opportunity was wiped out when trying to install XP Pro, I get message windows does not see the hard drive, but he sees the laptop.

  If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

  Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

  Or get the SATA drivers. Check out them on diskette, press F6 during installation and then add them.

  I got the volume of unmountable boot blue screen, then tried to adapt to a new samsung drive. I put in my windows disc it will load all the drivers, then says that there is no hard drive?
  In the bios, it recognizes it?

  Thanks if anyone can help

  Hello

  The problem is that your laptop supports the SATA HDD controller but the system OS does not contain the SATA drivers
  You can assign in the compatible SATA mode BIOS.
  This allows you to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

  I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS.

  My laptop is a Qosmio F60

  This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
  According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

  Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
  What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

  Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

  Hello

  Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
  The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
  I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

  In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

• Qosmio F30 - 112 - Windows XP does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hello.

  I have a Qosmio F30-112.
  I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
  However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

  I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
  But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

  Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Just a question:
  You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

  The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

  You should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

  Hello

  You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

  Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
  If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

  Please provide more info. You see error messages?
