Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD

• Windows 7 will not accept any ati driver and catalyst control center at the same time.

  I tried a number of ati drivers. My card is a 4870 x 2 2 GB edition. The driver that windows installs will not accept any CCC.

  I did also install CCC and only driver left. I tried to play Everquest 2, first game to install, and it crashes before the charge, gives me an error of ref dx9.

  I'm assuming that windows 7 has the new package dx so I shouldn't have to reinstall that. I downloaded some of them however.

  I'll try a restore and see if it works. If I could go back in time and never bought this o/s I now.

  This is ridiculous.

  Windows 7 DirectX 11.  You can also download and install v9 and have both at the same time, which is what I have on two different computers for this reason.

• A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well.

  A single hard drive will not be shared on network.  All other players share very well.  Don't have a homegroup installation because I also have XP machines.  The drive is on a windows machine 7.   I checked all the settings.  Of course, all the machines are on the same workgroup.  It's just 1 road.  The other 5 on this computer share very well.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

  Original title: startup problem

  I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

  Hi DougEisenmann,

  Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

  If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

  to me, this looks like a hardware problem. It must be checked by the service, and perhaps that the drive must be replaced.

• My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is

  My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.

  Help?

  Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

• Satellite A500-141 - the CD/DVD drive will not recognize any disk in the status bar

  I watch the DVD yesterday and he played upward halfway through and almost jerky. Ejected and thought no more of him now, the player will not recognize any disc, be it video or sound. I tried a system restore but still the same thing that it is not read disks. Any help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi quietly,

  If your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, how do you have a system restore?

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation mark on it?

  Maybe the lens is dirty and must be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth. Open try CD/DVD and try to clean the lens with a clean Microfiber cloth.

• R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs

  I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51.  There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery.  After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge.  It does not load Windows.  Is there anything else I need to do?

  Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.

  As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere.  Worth, perhaps,

  If something is demanding a password is not likely to be a request for Adobe since Adobe does not normally require any.  It could be your computer's security requiring you to allow an installation to occur.

• A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start

  Hello.

  I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.

  When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.

  When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen

  

  a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.

  Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.

  A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.

  In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.

  You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac.  Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.

  You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  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
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  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.

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

  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
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• Hard drives will not remain in mode 'sleep'

  For two weeks, something strange happens. My hard drives in sleep mode and out instantly. They will not remain in mode 'sleep'. Any hour of delay, I place, they will behave like this. So even if I place a time to sleep 1 minute, you will hear them go to sleep and instantly out every minute, without interruption. It's used to work perfectly before for months. I have not installed anything again (with the exception of Windows updates). I checked with performance monitor, if something is accessing the disks, but there is no drive activity whatsoever. I also tried to stop the process as much as possible, but that did not help either. The only thing I've changed three weeks ago was my graphics (Radeon 6850 to GTX580) but I'm not sure that the problem started then. Only two weeks ago, I noticed the issue. If anyone else has experienced something like this?

It seems strange, that it now says Windows when I used it fine on my Mac in the past. It won't let me hit mount either. Please help me.
