  Hi Dtorres,

  • What exactly do you mean by it works when I insert the disk?

  If the device is missing in the Device Manager, it may be due to hardware failure or if the drive cables are not connected properly. This can also happen if there is a damage in the drive cable, windows will not be able to detect the drive.

  However, you can contact the computer manufacturer to verify if there is any firmware that you can install for the CD / DVD player and if you can run a diagnostic tool for the material.

  You can also start the BIOS of your laptop and check if the drive is detected in the BIOS and post back the result.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  Thank you and best regards,

• How can I get my fixed CD drive? Device Manager says "Driver may be corrupted or missing" B

  How can I get my fixed CD drive? Device Manager says 'driver may be corrupted or missing.

  But when I click on update driver it says "your driver is up to date" and refuses to fix it.

  Hello:

  I found this link where a person fixed a similar problem with editing the registry.

  Make sure that you back up all personal files you do not lose to a portable hard drive and create a restore point by using System Restore utility first, because editing the registry might cause some problems with your PC, also do not start and you have to reinstall the operating system.

• NO CD/DVD drive on Device Manager

  Made sure I'm looking for the previous post with problems similar to mine before I post this question.

  CD/DVD drive does not appear on the Device Manager.  It does not show as well as the disk management and workstation.  The door of the status bar will not be open except when I use a needle through a pinhole to open it manually.   When I put a disc, it does nothing.  I did system restore, delete Upperfilter and UpperFilter, run malware and Avira under safe mode as others have recommended here, nothing is.
  I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium 32).
  This all started when I downloaded an accession of software drivers.  I regret it now.
  I'm desperate and cannot afford to buy a new computer right now.   I feel like the only hope is to open my laptop but I'm afraid I'll do damage OVER I don't know what to do after I do it.
  Please help me.
  Misty

  Hello

  Check if the CD/DVD drive is seen in the Basic Input Output System.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.

• DVD bluray missing in Device Manager

  I installed windows 7 pro from CD-Rom. I have barely use cd CD-Rom so I did not notice that all of a sudden my DVD drive has disappeared in the Device Manager. When you insert a disc, it rotates but does not start. BIOS sees the optical drive. BIOS has been also updated. All drivers have been updated. Googeled solutions and delete some keys but that did not work. Also restored the laptop to the previous state, but the disc has not been and cannot be restored later. There is a problem on the HP site but also no results.

  Can't believe that the drive is dead, I installed windows from it.

  Do not want to reinstall windows, as I have to be perfect.

  Any who know this problem and have a solution?

  I have a HP 8760W (not "ban" me at the business forum. I bought the laptop not for or on behalf of a company)

  It works. New DVD's ok.

  Not happy at first when I received the replacement however. I ordered exactly the same model. When I received the new dvd player, it turns out that the front was different (higher) and a metal strip which is screwed on the disk and is used for mounting the drive in the laptop was different. So the new reader did not. Took do some MacGuyvering to get the new drive to adapt.

  But it worked, dvd drive is showing in Device Manager now, so happy .

• Drivers from Device Manager

  Hello

  I'm a new being in the mists of the clean installation of windows xp home edition for professionals.  I have a used computer that I think is as old as 12 years without a manufacturer.  Although Microsoft stopped supporting xp I know a website where I can find drivers for this computer date so if ongoing enforcement.

  I'm looking at for the installed drivers Device Manager.  Comparing them to the xp driver supported Web site.  Pilots can go back as far as Windows 2000 or 2002.  My question is.   I get the correct information from the Device Manager.   The computer is too old to 12 years going back to the era of Windows 2000 or 2002.

  Regarding any reply received.  I can answer this question to the other driver related queries about specific drivers for this computer.    Thank you Kenny.

• Unrecognized USB external drives. Device Manager sees them. Explore and Disk Manager can't.

  It is a Mobo of P5ND Homebuild under XP SP3.

  External hard drives have been installed and running. However, it was necessary to reformat the operating system. After that, some of the XHDDs have been recognized, but at this point none of them are recognized.
  Device Manager sees 'Generic peripheral storage device USB' for readers, or in a case simply the letters of WD.
  The devices are not detected on my computer (Windows Explorer) or disk management.
  I swapped the cords and cables. I checked that hubs work, and I would stress that the hubs have external, and their own power of stand-alone XHDDs feeding.
  I suspect that readers have damaged file structures, perhaps they have been disconnected because of a loss of power, or my incompetence...
  In any case, they are there in Device Manager, but not in disk management or in computer.
  They do not appear on other computers either.
  The details of the driver for the XHDDs are the same as the internal hard drives. The XHDDs are all PATA. The IHDDs are all SATA.
  There is a noise clear when they are attached and detached from the computer. The computer recognizes that something is happening.
  My level is probably above beginner, but not to the expert, as I build my own units.
  The XHDDs are different manufacturing. They contain data of the value and I do not want to format.

  Have you tried plugged directly into the PC rather than through the hubs?

• PA: Uninstalled my webcam drivers and now webcam is missing from Device Manager

  Hello

  I had trouble with my webcam I decided to uninstall the driver to try reinstalling one from scratch.

  The problem is that now my webcam is still not displayed in Device Manager, so I can't access its settings to try to update the driver.

  It was a very stupid thing to do, and now I don't know what to do...

  Thanks in advance!

  Cecilia

  Hi Cecilia,.

  Unless you have already done, the first thing I would say is just to reboot the laptop and see if Windows RE-discovered the Webcam and load a driver for it.

  If this does not work, try to run the system restore to return the machine to a point in time before that you deleted the windows driver - see Option 2 below.

• USB-5133 appearing does not in MAX, "loader" shows driver in Device Manager.

  I have a USB-5133 can I use it on several computers. I'm putting it on another PC (XP Pro). The device is recognized by windows and it goes to install the drivers. When it's done, in the Device Manager-> data acquisition devices, I see "NI USB-5133 Loader. On other computers, he said only: "NI USB-5133. The green light on the device is NOT on, and the device does not appear in Measurement & Automation Explorer.

  No idea why the appropriate driver is not loaded? I have NO-SCOPE 3.5.2.

  Hello Gallamine,

  The NI USB-5133 Digitizer is a plug-and-play device, try removing the device in MAX.  Then, unplug the device and plug it in again.  The computer should record the device of MAX as "NI USB-5133.  If this does not work, the data base of the MAX could be damaged.  To resolve this problem, see the following link:

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/2C7480E856987FFF862573AE005AB0D9

  Finally, if the database setting does not resolve this problem, try to reinstall the latest version of OR-SCOPE.
