• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

  ======================================
  Did you accidentally create a system recovery
  Your Vista computer drive?

  The drivers and Utilities disc does not include the
  Operating system.

  The following .pdf of Dell to address document States the following:

  To reinstall Windows, you need the following:
  The Dell operating system disk
  Dell drivers and Utilities disc

  Installation guide for the Inspiron

  Best bet would be to check with Dell Support and see
  If it is possible to get a Vista installation disc. Or maybe
  a system recovery disk.

  In addition, a retail purchase may be the answer.

• Second SATA hard drive not detected by Bios and Device Manager

  Original title: second SATA hard drive

  Hard drive not detected by the Bios and the device under Vista Home Premiun Manager

  Hi trinitario,.

  Because the hard drive is not detected in the BIOS also, it may be due to a hard drive configuration that should be changed or a rider. If you need to get in touch with a Local tech-store for assistance.

  Note: change in the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• My CD/DVD drive does not read and is therefore no longer is visible on my computer, the BIOS or Device Manager.

  I just realized when inserting a CD, he has not read. I havn't he used in awhile, so it can't just happen. When I insert the CD you can hear it spin and green light flashes, but after about 10-15 seconds it stops and the light goes out. Under 'My Computer', I see more player. I don't see the driver CD/DVD option in my Device Manager menu longer, and I do not see it in the BIOS. I have a HP Pavilion Labtop.

  Any ideas? Thank you!!

  Since it is not recognized in the BIOS, which means that the reader could have failed, there is a possible cable or
  problem of controller or other hardware problems.

  ===================================

  If you can get it to be recognized in the BIOS and it still doesn't work, maybe these will help.

  You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
  DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
  that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

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

  Most of the time traveller feeling even the reader, even though Device Manager and BIOS a. Mr. Fix - It does not work either. They just keep running with nothing doesn't.

• Disk HARD drive deleted in the Finder and now appears

• Which adapter to use on hard drive to get the data and images turned off before replacing the motherboard?

  I have a HP G61-429WM, product WA961UA #ABA number. Windows7 operating system. It was abandoned and cracked the screen. I replaced the screen, it then booted up once or twice, and then began to not initialize. During this period, I noticed a crack in the lower shell into the Jack of the battery. Do you have a fairly long conversation with the support, the end result = send to paid the replacement of the main card or buy the same Board and fix it myself. He said that all the data on the disk wouldn't be there when I returned. It was also mentioned that the reader could be removed and a usb adapter could be used on the disk to retrieve data before the reader gets erased due to the relocation of the card.

  Everyone would like to recommend a usb adapter to do? I will buy one, I want to just make sure it is right for the type of drive in this unit.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sylvia

• HP Pavilion dv4130us - requires the video controller driver to clear the problem of Device Manager

  Any help would be appreciated. Have owned the laptop since birth. Update memory & HDD for patches of bloatware to Uncle Bill. Naoual need a video driver to resolve the problem of video hardware acceleration.
