Insertion of a CD/DVD
I don't know how to insert a disc into my laptop (Dell Inspiron). Sounds stupid, I know, and believe it or not, I'm pretty tech savvy. So forgive me if I'm just crazy, but I looked at several forums on this topic, and I found only two answers, neither of which applies to me. The first was to push the eject button physical on disc tray (it is not a). The next had to go to my computer and go to the CD/DVD section and right click on Eject. Here, I came across another problem: under 'This PC' (assuming that it is the same as the desktop), there is no "CD/DVD' to 'right click' on. I can usually figure out what kind of things about myself, but I really don't think what happens this time... Help?

Satellite A75-S231 - BSOD when I insert a CD or DVD
When I insert * any * CD or DVD (Formated or a cache or with multimedia content) in the mattress * a multi player, I get the Blue Screen of Death with the error message "Bad_Pool_Header".
The Tech line reads: Stop: 0 x 00000019 (0x00000020, 0x88D59B8, 0x880D59D0.0x1A030001).I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, but the problem remains. Does this mean the carpet * a Multi Player is bad?
Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.(1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
(3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
(4) restart.If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
This utility can remove the filters for you:

Cannot open the DVD drive to insert a CD or DVD
My DVD player won't open and a small rectangular orange light flashes when I press the Open button. I checked and the system says that the drive is functional. Anyone has any ideas how to fix?
Thank you.
The CD/DVD drive provides a small hole. Try using the thin wire and insert it into the hole. This should open the CD/DVD drive manually.

Hello
The first thing that I would recommend before you do the radical and re install Windows or upgrade to Windows 7, is to make sure that you have backed up your files. Make sure that you have a separate player and follow the steps described in this article.To be honest, it sounds like the drive has gone wrong at this stage. Normally, this sounds like it would be a driver problem, but if you have uninstalled them and are 100% sure that you have installed the good and still no joy, so I think we can exclude.Have you tried several discs in the drive, correct? It is not just a problem with the special CD that you use right?I would say your best bet is at this time to try another drive on the machine, especially if you do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling Windows. You may be surprised how well they come these days. The last of them, that I bought on Amazon (I think) was a little more than $25 in the United States. -

Windows could not read the disc you have inserted in the cd/dvd drive
Suddenly my cd/dvd drive does not recognize the blank disc, and the format in the right click menu does not appear.
What is a driver problem or what I don't know, pls help.
Kind regards.
Hi J,.
It seems that the drive has failed.
The device uses separate CD and DVD optical lasers.
It seems that the DVD laser has failed.
Try the drive on another computer if it is a desktop computer.

MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2011) / 2 GHz Intel Core i7 / 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 / OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
DVD Player Version 5500.66 / Build 5,560 (2)
When commercial DVD (NTSC) inserted in the MacBook Pro DVD Player error messages "forbidden" and "Supported disc not available" are displayed when I tried to play the DVD. When the DVD was removed from the MacBook Pro and inserted into a different DVD player, it works normally, then the DVD was apparently not the problem.
Your help is appreciated...
Delete ' ~ / Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist ' and a DVD player or reopen could solve the problem.

Greetings
I have a problem with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ 8425 in my notebook U200.
When I insert the CD or DVD in the engine, it cannot read the media.
The engine starts and runs disc twice or three times, then turn of.I have this laptop for 2 months, and only since yesterday, I have this problem.
In Device Manager it is shown in working order,
I have change the driver but it's still doesn't work...Can you help me to find out where is the problem?

It will be interesting to know does this happen with all sorts of data on the disks. Try checking Autoplay options in the ODD properties.
By the way: you can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?
