HP Envy 17 Laptop: problem with DVD/CD player

I recently bought a laptop HP Envy 17 refurbished to replace my laptop screen Acer of 18 ".

He had Win 8.1 on it I then upgraded to win 10.

Everything worked as it should, including the CD when he arrived, and after the upgrade.

As I was used to having 2 hard drives on my Acer and did not find a drive for the HP cable I used one of them to replace the DVD unit

http://www.Amazon.com/SANOXY-Caddy-12-7mm-universal-DVD-ROM/DP/B0056EW4A4

It worked perfectly.

I then found a drive cable of HP on eBay second hand and when it arrived I installed the second disc in the DVD player OK and re-installed hard drive Bay - although I expected to replace it later with the Hard Drive caddy so I might have 3 internal drives.

This is where the problem started.

Although the second disc showed now and available to use, the DVD player is no longer appears in the Explorer or in Device Manager, even if I remov the second car of the Bay.

Can someone suggest any way how to fix this problem?

TIA

UPDATE:

4th restart the laptop cured the problem and the DVD is now appear.

Yet once replaced caddy of DVD with a hard drive Caddy in his place and I have now 3 internal hard drives on my laptop.

Well happy!

  • Problem with DVD/CD player - impossible CD

    I got a HP2009v of office since January 2010. I was able to burn CDs of music with my pc a few months ago. Everything seems fine at first. The burning process seems to go ok as the burning percentage increases. However, when burning to 99%, and the tray opens and burning stops. No files are burned on the disc. This product whenever I try to burn. I wonder if it's a hardware or software problem and how it can be solved.

    I suggest to download and run the fixit automatic Microsoft Windows for DVD players.

  • Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

    And this is a problem:

    When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

    I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
    Tried to run as administrator - did not help
    I don't see something suspicious under events

    What can I do else?

    Thank you

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s a problem with the burning software and/or the media. I found information there are many problems with playback of the files after burning the multisession DVD-R, + R (Win98SE). In my opinion, you should try to burn DVDs on media RW multisession.

  • A very strange problem with DVD player (some DVD play not)

    Hello everyone.

    I bought a laptop Dell Inspiron 3543 2 months ago. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, but I have a problem with the DVD player. When I insert some DVD discs, the driver reads some DVDs but not others. After trying to play DVDs, I see that the DVD player play about half of the DVD I'm looking for. Although I can guarantee, I didn't send my laptop to the service because I can't work even a day without my cell phone. So, in order to solve the problem, I bought a DVD player new, original Dell (the same model of dvd player, which is Panasonic Matshita DVD +-RW UJ8E2). Today I started using my new DVD player, but it also has the same problem as my old DVD drive or it also does not play some DVD.

    To make the issue even more strange, here are some details:

    -My dvd drives have no problem and I have tried many original DVDs (especially the original films). And all the dvd disks that do not play on my computer play on other computers with no problems. There is no problem with the disks.

    -Certainly no problem with the "DVD region Code". I use original DVDs with region code 2, which is the area code for my country.

    -All my drivers, the operating system and the dvd drive drivers are up to date. When I look at my DVD drive properties, it is written that "the dvd drive works properly.

    -When I insert a DVD disc, if my DVD player he plays, he plays each time. But if my dvd player does not play a dvd, and then he never plays it. So, there is a consistency in the dvd disc set to play or not. When a DVD disc does not play, my DVD player rolls the drive some time and then the DVD done pretending as if there is no disc in the drive.

    -Both my old and newly purchased DVD drives have exactly the same problem, so I think that there's no problem like a lens dirty. I also think that there is no mechanical problem with one of my DVD drives because my newly purchased, original DVD player also has the same problem.

    I thank everyone for any help or advice in advance.

    Today, I received my dvd player third, new, Chinese, not original from a seller of spare part. He plays all DVDs with no problems. :)

    If in the future someone always has the same problem as me and read this Web page to find a solution, you know where is the problem.

  • Problems with DVD/CD material

    Hello

    Thought I'd start here and go from there... my wife has a laptop computer that has problems with the DVD/CD player and unable to operate, despite attempts on and off the internet... hours thinking maybe there is a problem with the hardware itself... anyway... she used the player very little anyway and I was wondering what would be the best method of copying a cd bootable on a drive Flash and I can use the USB port to install any CD of this nature... a method that might work with all windows...

    Larry Wöller

    A popular easy utility to use for making a bootable USB key is Rufus. It can also be done with some steps more natively.

    If you don't want to address the problem of the laptop's optical drive, you can also consider getting an external drive.  For example, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136266

    I BOUGHT A HP ENVY 17 LAPTOP 1201TX 3D EDITION HE GETS HANGUP ALL PLEASE TIME HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND WHEN STARTING LAPTOP IT SAYS HARD DRIVE ERROR (3F1) I EVEN DID HARD DRIVE TEST...

    Hello

    It is perhaps that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    As another test, try the following.

    Follow the procedure below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in part 3 of 'Try' to see if the operating system is running.  The option 'Try' runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is only with the HARD drive.

    http://www.Ubuntu.com/desktop/get-Ubuntu/download

    If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and arrange for the replaced HARD disk - you can check your warranty status.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

    Kind regards

  • Problems with DVD/CD-RW on Satellite Pro M series

    After searching the Forum questions / answers, it seems that many users have problems with the carpet * a 841 s UJ which is equipped with several types of Toshiba portable computers and I wonder why someone from Toshiba has not been able to intervene and to produce a final solution.

    In my case, I can not format a CD - RW or a DVD + RW because the message "D:\ is not accessible" and also "incorrect function".

    If DLA is selected in properties, can be as much as to be shown to a format selection window, but "Format failed due to general failure" happens.

    Toshiba installation CD will work OK (I did this several times after losing data on the hard drive) but the writing seems to be beyond the capacity of the disc.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    BTW, the deletion of "Upper and Lower Filters" registry that I have seen offered as a solution will not work because there is only one entry for low filter - no higher.

    You try to format the two supports using Windows option or using an application like Nero?
    I can't imagine that there is a serious problem with ODD. Test it with Nero. I'm sure it will work properly.
