  Hello

  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

  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

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

• Put HP1012 in place. The installation process does not recognize the printer.

  I've made sure the device is on and the usb cable is connected.  Printer worked fine until I needed to reinstall the windows xp operating system.  Now reinstall the printer set up the software does not recognize the printer.  Before reinstalling the operating system, the printer worked great even if it is quite old.  I use the original CD game in the installation process.

  Problem solved.  I plugged the printer into different usb port cable and the computer immediately recognized the printer.  Previously, I had ports different usb, but not the one where he worked.  I have 7 usb ports on this computer, and it seems that one does not work.

• Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

  I apologize in advance for the long post...

  Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

  I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

  When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

  I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

  What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

  Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

  Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

  Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

  Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

  The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

  For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

  1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

  2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

  3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

  4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

  5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

  6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

  These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

  I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

• CD/DVD does not recognize football manager 08

  Hello. I just bought 08 but football coach when I put it in my CD/DVD drive on my Toshiba laptop, nothing happens.

  I can hear the disc inside it turn around and all that clicking sounds, but the game does not work on my computer.
  When I have the game inserted, the driver cannot see that there is a disc, it's as if there is no game inserted.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Hello!

  It looks like that your CD/DVD drive is faulty. I think that this has nothing to do with the game because you said sometimes it recognizes a game or a CD.

  You have a Satellite L300 and L300D?
  On my Satellite L300 I never had problems with the driver.

  However, have you installed the laptop with the recovery disk or Microsoft? Maybe a reinstall of Windows could solve the problem.
  In the worst cases, the disc must be replaced.

  Good bye

• Device Manager does not recognize the internal WLAN card

  I have a laptop HP/Compaq Presario V6200CTO which has an internal wifi card. The wifi worked perfectly until about a week ago, when Windows 7 has ceased to recognize the card altogether. I thouhgt first it was a hardware problem and that the card had died and so I bought a USB adapter, but before the arrival of the adapter that I needed to start in SafeMode w/network (I used adapter Linksys a friend). When OS safe mode entered it automatically loaded the driver "Broadcom", installed the wifi device internal and it worked fine while I was in safe mode. After the system restarts the operating system has yet to recognize the internal card. I rebooted in SafeMode once again, but still the card was not recognized. It seems unlikely that a dead card came suddenly to life for the short period of time I was in safe mode, and then quickly died again on restart. Therefore, I think it is an OS problem, but as the map is not displayed in Device Manager I have no idea how to proceed. N USB adapter I bought works fine, but I'd rather be able to use the internal card and free USB port. Is there a way to load the device from the command line or in a way to force the operating system to find the map?

  Lack of maps can often work for short periods. Then, some components overheating or falls down and they stop working.

• A315 satellite - DVD does not recognize DVD

  Having a problem with my DVD on my Satellite A315 drive.

  He will recognize CDs and data discs, but is unable to recognize the DVDs. When I insert a DVD, the disc spins like crazy, but nothing happens. If I go to Windows Explorer and try to expand the DVD folder, it asks me to insert a disc.

  thoughts?

  I think you should try to remove upper and lower filters as Akuma said.
  Here in the forum I read often that disassembly of the filters can solve problems with a CD/DVD player, so in your case I would try it.

• CD/DVD does not recognize the disks and will not be closed

  original title: problem with tray D

  I use a unit of reconditiioned Dell 8300 with XP Professional system.  The unit was slow and gel a bit so, in one of the slow itls break cycles I insereted in the toolbar an old XP disc I had to front to see if that would help and after I closed the tray I noise loud crash and the tray came out showing broked pieces of the disc. I flipped the unit and hit the bottom and more pieces of the disc came out.  Now the set is not closed.  If I insert a workable disc and maintain status bar tap it will not do anything and a window tells me to insert a disc. Shou ld I try to disassemble the unti to see if there's still some piece or pieces preventing reset the tray? Or is it to say that I'm going to my repairman authorized Microsoft for the rerpair?  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  I'm really sorry to laugh, but this is a funniest post I've ever seen. Apparently you've damaged the device rom (cd/dvd drive) replace it with a new one. They measure less $ $30 .00usd. Furthermore, placing the old drive in the drive xp will not improve the performance of the computer. Looks like you have some malware. I recommend that you post in the section virus/malware of the forum on the link below for a complete analysis. The forum is free. While I could recommend some scanners, I think you need a full inspection.
