Lenovo y530 Windows 7 installation cd/dvd driver problem

Hello everyone!

I'm a happy user of Lenovo y530 bought with MS Windows Vista Home Premium. I have easy access to your MSDN AA software. It allows me to download and install Windows 7 Professional for example. I downloaded the image, tested on virtual machine and it works fine. So I decided to install it directly on my hard drive for portable computers. I burned a dvd with a possible minimum speed and here I had a problem. It starts very well, I choose the language and locale, but after she, I have information that there is a missing cd/dvd driver. Installer wants to give me a file location.

I don't know what driver is needed. I downloaded files related to my Optirac drive but they are all exe and it does not accept the installation program. Could someone help me?

I searched many forums, but there is no ansfer of satisfaing I can't use USB key to install it.

I also tried another DVD to burn, another Windows build - and the result was the same.

Edit: have you tried with another order of start (CD 1) - with the same results

The response was quite strange for me. I tried a DVD + R instead of DVD - R disc and it works

  • Portege A600 - Windows 7 installation CD/DVD device driver

    Hello.

    I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my Portege A600.

    I tried to boot from the DVD, flash. I changed all of the possible settings in the BIOS, I have updated the BIOS to version 3.0, but I still have this bloody error "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing". Is there a place where I can download this driver to show the installer without having to download a 100 TB of pron?

    Or is there a way to fix my problem?

    Hello

    First of all there is no special driver CD/DVD. It of a part of Windows 7 and so there are no drivers available.

    It would be interesting to know when you get this error exactly.

    Maybe your defective CD/DVD drive. You can test another?

  • Load Windows XP from external DVD drive

    Replaced the hard drive on laptop. DVD drive does not work on the laptop. How to install windows XP from an external DVD drive hard disk new?

    You must change the boot order in the BIOS of your computer.

    The boot order is order this computer tries to start from, for example, it can check the internal DVD first, then if there is nothing in there, go to the hard drive.

    You need to plug in your external DVD drive (it's probably USB).

    Then go into the BIOS setup - search for boot order and move the external DVD drive to the top of the boot list, so this is the first device to be "started" from.

    Then restart your laptop and then it should boot from the external DVD drive, which probably contains the installation media for Windows XP (DVD/CD).

  • Windows thinks that my DVD drive is a floppy drive

    I've had my computer for almost 3 years now without problems and now my computer decided that my dvd drive is a floppy drive. I have no floppy drive in this computer.

    I am running windows vista ultimate, 32 bit. My dvd player is an Asus - model unknown, bought 3 years ago

    Device Manager can't find the drive, but does not have a floppy drive

    ->, I uninstalled the floppy drive he sees and has attempted to use the scan for hardware, but it cannot find the diskette again. Tried to restore the computer by using the system restore, which did not work. The player turns on and turn when I put a disc in but nothing and does not pop up in my computer (which only shows my hard drive and a non-existent floppy disk)

    After trying to use demon for a drive emulator tools so that I could actually stop using the physical disk that I don't want to wear them first noticed the problem. Daemon tools has been uninstalled from the restore points, I used so I don't think that is the question.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Bob

    I did what you suggested and none of it worked. Thank you for your help and I have a solution that worked well.

    I turned off the computer, unplug the drive (power and sata of course), computer turned off, shut down, reconnected and when I restarted it again, my drive was normal.

  • Windows Recovery - no CD/DVD drive

    My Hp laptop under vista just died. I went to turn it on and it came with a screen with 'the operating system not found' I looked into this and things seemed rather bleek. I shot it today and he slowly began to start, and I was able to use it for an hour or two, until this I restarted.
    Now it loads just the screen "loading Microsoft" for 5 minutes (ish) then I get the blue screen of death. I can get it to go in the system recovery options, but I don't have a CD/DVD drive to run the recovery CD. I wanted to know if there is a way (im he is safe, but can't find it) to run it on my Ex's Hardrive. Ive looked for something, but this seems to be for the restore CD.
    Can someone please helppppp >; ()

  • Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive problem

    Hello friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:

    1.87 C2D Ghz, 1 GB of Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...

    Question: Its been long enough, I m facing some problem with my optical drive. Whenever I insert a CD that is originally made by any company, it works fine. At the time when I insert a CD that is personally burned with any normal CD data / engraver of DVD or CD that have been created previously by the same laptop mentioned above, its been interpreted as a blank disc. The data on the drive are not displayed.

    For example: lets say if I insert a cd of the software as my webcam cd or cd of my printer they can be read normally and work very well. But at the point where I have to enter any cd that was burned by me that contains my personal files, it is read as a blank disc.

    This problem does not exist with any of the DVDs. that is not serious every dvd I insert either being a software normal dvd or one that is burned as a given personal dvd, everything works fine and all the data DVD can be read.

    I tried to reinstall the driver, I tried to reformat my laptop using the supplied with the notebook Toshiba Recovery CD, but the problem persists.

    Between a few months ago, I tried to do a few tweak, as firstly I have insert the cd in the drive and then turn off the reader of cd and then allowing it once again would actually read the cd. But after a few tries, it also stopped working.

    Now I have really no idea what should I do to get my CD to work normally.

    I hope that this message can help out me.

    Your help will be appreciated

    Thanks for your precious time

    Hi Claudia,.

    To be honest, I never heard A785 Satellite.
    You should check the model number again, as wrote Akuma. It would be important to know.

    But in General if you have the same problems after using the Toshiba Recovery disk it seems to be a bad material work because the recovery disc can restore the factory settings.

  • Satellite 2430 DVD drive problem

    Hello
    My Satellite 2430 has had a strange DVD problem and may not know what is all about. All started when I tried to make a full recovery. The unit was not able to boot from the DVD. I checked the DVD player with different bootable disk, but still nothing. Unit won't boot from DVD drive even if you press F12 and peripheral DVD selected. Not to mention that the recovery DVDs is loaded normally in my desktop pc. Notepad starts Windows OK the HARD disk and, which is incredible, is that, inside Windows, everything is OK. The DVD player works like a dream. However, it is not enough to perform a full restore, as the recovery process cannot be initialized by Windows. A leap that the BIOS is at the origin of the problem, I've upgraded to version 1.6, but there is no change in the behavior of the DVD.
    Any thoughts, before using a big-big hammer?

    Hello

    Have you tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then first change the startup procedure to the CD player. The local network must be on the end.

  • Code 19 CD/DVD drive problem.

    My CD/DVD drive is not recognized.  I go into the Device Manager and it says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    I tried to uninstall then restart and reinstall as troubleshooting says and I still have this problem.

    I tried "Mr. Fix it" and tells me that it cannot solve the problem.

    I tried to go through the steps of using regedit and there are no "less" filter to remove, only a "superior" filter  When I look for what to do if there is no lower filters to delete, there is no help in finding.

    I checked my driver, that is until this day of nto.

    I tried a system restore. Did not work.

    I am at my wits end and any advice would be very welcome.  It seems at this point, I need to reinstall windows xp, but I have no idea how to do it even without a working cd player.

    My OS is Windows XP pro with service pack 3, and is my reader of cd/dvd LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-5236V.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Hello

    It is my first request for assistance.
    My CD/DVD drive is most recognized, and when I go to Device Manager and click on CD/DVD I'm informed that the cdrom.sys file is there but cannot be loaded.

    An error number 39 is reported.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but please keep things simple to the actions of a single line if possible.

    Of course, you can get a few tips ;)
    I think you might find faster if you are looking for first in the forum, but I'll try to help you too.

    He error code 39 is very common issue and can be resolved easily.
    See this MS knowledge base article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us

    So first of all remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
    Then access the registry using the regedit command and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD drive has been installed again.

    That s it. ;)
