laptop will not see a disc

My presario c700 with Vista will not recognize a disc in my drive of CD-ROM I have completed all the steps under the cd/dvd drive not detected.

The drive is listed in the BIOS to registration. I removed the soft ware and reinstalled. Nothing helps. Any ideas?

Yes, I did. I tried movies, photos, discs of soft ware, I fimley added a wtiter of cd/dvd in replacement and to my surprise, it worked. I don't just use the built-in incd/dvd player.

Thanks for your help.

  • Why my DVD player will not see the disc of Windows 7 Installation?

    The TEAC DV-W58E DVD on my Dimension PC drive will play videos and games and will read and write data on DVD.

    Why he won't see the Windows 7 Installation disc that has delivered today? It's the only drive, that he has never read. He don't think that the drive is empty, sees just 0 used bytes, free 0 bytes.

    The drive is seen by the two other PCs but not one I want to install W7 on.

    My PC runs XP Professional and the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor test and is up-to-date with Windows Update and has the latest driver for the DVD drive.

    I can't install the new operating system unless I can get the PC to read the disc.

    Cause the most likely not to read the DVD, is that its firmware is too old.  Double layer and encryption more recent methods are old 1 x, 2 x and 4 x dvd drives cannot read 16 x media recorded.

    Windows 7 has some minimum requirements.

    Windows 8 adds a lot of SPECIFIC requirements as NX Bit is supported in the BIOS.

    If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

    • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or (x 64) 64-bit processor

    • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit), this excludes most INTEL 815 chipset

      Pentium 3 systems.  512 Meg is MAX for the 815 chipset.

    • 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

    • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

  • Laptop will not see that a bluetooth dongle is plugged.

    I plugged my Kinivo BTD - 300 Bluetooth adapter on my Windows 7 laptop several times, and he doesn't. Nothing, no dialogue windows or beeps, just nothing. The dongle works on my desktop, no problem. But my laptop refuses to acknowledge its existence.

    I have three USB ports on my laptop. All three do not recognize the dongle.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First of all, regarding the manual of maintenance on the link below--remove and reposition your bars of memory.

    If the above makes no difference, and you have more than one Module of memory installed, try the following - if you have only 1 Module installed, try in the other available slot.

    Again, regards to the manual on the link below, delete one of your modules from memory and then see if the computer will start.  If it doesn't, try the same module, but in another location.  If it is still won't start, try the other memory module in both slots, to see if any combination will allow the laptop to boot up normally.

    The procedure for withdrawal of these modules is detailed on Page 50 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

    Kind regards

  • Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation.

    Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

    original title: VISTA VS. XP

    Your technicians say talk to HP

    Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

    You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

    I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

    Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

  • my laptop will not import my photos and my itunes doesn't sync new music

    I'm not sure that the question is my Iphone 5 or the laptop. When I plug my phone both the laptop and the phone between them pick up and my phone syncs automatically, however, my phone always wonder if I want to import new photos and then once I clicked on Yes, it says that no pictures are available. Also when you try to import pictures on an app on the phone, he could not pick up one of my recent photos.

    As well as what I downloaded some new music on my itunes on my laptop, however, given that I brought music apple songs downloaded on my itunes on my laptop will not sync and I don't know why. The phone syncs and always put my new music on the phone when it syncs, but it's their import is no longer automatically.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can copy photos manually from the film. It might sound like a somewhat random Folders collection.

    With Apple active any music that you add to your library becomes automatically available for you to download or listen to on your device. Music sync via USB, however.

  • I have a pavilion p6130fpc and it will not see the drives.

    I have a pavilion p6130fpc that will not see the drives. I tried 3 different hard drives and change the cable and port twice. I have also reset the BIOS and pressed the power button for five seconds after you disconnect without success. Someone at - it any other ideas?

    Willman,

    Unfortunately you are not alone. HP has sold a lot of different models with the M2N78 - motherboard. The problem is that the manufacturer of the Board of Directors (not HP) set up a controller chip NVidia which tended to overheat. Once this chip goes, ur stuck. The SATA ports are controlled by this chip.

  • iPhoto will not see all the pic. on the iPhone.

    After installing a new hard drive in the iMac, due to the failure of the original installed, I struggle with having on the iMac iPhoto to see pictures on my iPhone that are older than October 2014. Photos are visible on the iPhone, but iPhoto will not see them which allowed me to transfer and secure them on the iMac. The iPhone is connected to the iMac with a cable to the USB port. Thanks for supporting.

    iPhoto can only see the photos that are in the film.  The older photos have been synchronized to your iPhone using iTunes? Then you can download them in iPhoto. Sync photos from your computer to your device via iTunes - Apple Support iOS

    • You cannot re-import photos synced from your computer to your device to your computer. You can only import photos from your device, or record, in your device to your computer. If you need recover photos synced from your device, send photos of the unit yourself. Then download the photos from the emails on your computer.

    If the pictures are on the Filmstrip, but iPhoto does not always show them, try to upload them to launchinh Capture of Image. It is downloadable from your iPhone to a folder,

    Another reason for only a few photos in iPhoto could be iCloud photo library.  If iCloud photo library has been activated on your iPhone, you can only import those photos that have been uploaded to the iPhone, but not the photos in iCloud. If iCloud library is active, download from iCloud.
