• My CD & DVD players disappeared from Vista 32.

  My computer has a triple boot of installation; Vista 64, Vista 32 & XP.
  Currently, Vista 64 and XP are both able to use CD & DVD players.
  Vista 32 is a clean install which, initially, recognized readers
  and behaved normally.  After installing the ATI for the XFX HD 4350 driver
  card video through the graphical installer, ATI Catalyst, readers have disappeared.
  Setup of catalyst has also loaded "distributedables studio 2005" along the
  pilot.

  Not only does the Device Manager lists them specific readers but it is not yet
  the CD/DVD drive category list.

  Please notify.

• Missing DVD/CD ROM (drive E).

  I had trouble burning a CD when I realized that my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM has been totally absent. I think I need to install new drivers, but don't know where to find them. I have Windows 7. Help, please!

  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
  below.
  
  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.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the

• After that I did a refresh, my DVD players is no longer recognize disks

  I made an update of Firefox, after which none of my DVD players recognize a disc.

  an update of Firefox would not change your DVD players, being able to play DVDs, however, will update to windows 10.

  As suggested in this forum, I'd install the free, open-source VLC Player, which allows you to watch DVD free.

• Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Hello

  Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

  Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

  Hope it makes sense.

• Satellite 1410-902: DVD players that are compatible?

  My CD of Toshiba s1410-902 is broken and I would like to change to drive DVD or a DVD recorder. The problem is that not all CD/DVD IDE drives will work with this Toshiba. BIOS accepts only final pushes some of the manufacturers, but I don't know which.

  Where can I find the list coplete copmatible for this model of Toshiba DVD players?

  Hello

  You are absolutely right. Each car can not work with every Toshiba laptop. Unfortunately there are no public list on compatible players. I recommend you call service partner in your country and ask them. I presume that they have enough experience on the hardware upgrade.

  Maybe you will be lucky and someone improved the same unit but if not call and ask the technicians.

• Two DVD players showing in 'My Computer' - Qosmio G20

  Hello

  I have a G20 and for some reason, Ive got two showing in my computer DVD players.

  The first is called "DVD player - RAM" and is known as the D: drive. If I put a CD or DVD in the drive, then it appears on this icon.

  But there is also a second called "DVD player" and it is known as the E: drive. It appears not all of the disks I put in the machine. If I double click on it, it gives just the usual error saying "Please insert a disk in the drive."

  Can someone explain the difference here and why I have this second drive?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to say what is happening here. As far as I know some applications to create virtual drives and I n know not for what applications are preinstalled on your machine.

  Otherwise, you can go by car properties (right mouse button) and click on the Hardware tab. On this site, you will be able to see the type of device.

• What DVD players are compatible with Equium A60 PSA67E?

  my question; What dvd players are compatible for an equium a60 (psa67e-001001en)?

  background; I did a very stupid thing! while I was at the Japan and about 18 months after buying my a60 in the United Kingdom, the packaged dvd player. I replaced it with a teac dvd player and it worked like a dream! I threw the old disk (I think it was a matsu * has, but can't remember the exact model). in any case, I came home and had a little time on my hands, so I decided to set my machine and corrupted the windows xp registry.

  Now, windows xp runs in the loop, I can't access and I need to wipe the hard drive and start again essentially. I put the recovery disk in, but the computer doesn't read him and desperately wants his wacky way to windows. I believe that it is not recognizing the teac drive that I used to replace the old. I think that if I put an original return type, the firmware can recognize the drive and I'll be back in business... or so I hope!

  of course, all the other tips would be welcome too! Thank you.

  work around? PS a work around, I thought so... copy the contents of the diskette of recovery on a hard drive (using my old computer) can change the current hard drive in my a60 with it... theory; When the computer detects the content during the start-up, it will install xp on another part of this drive and I have a working machine once again. could - this something like this work? any thoughts?

• Why DVD players does not work? Indeed, DVD player works ONLY playback,... but doesn't work NOT to the write/burn any DVD/Sony and Memorex, etc..

  Hello:

  DVD players, both came with the PC and MSI DVD - Rom I bought through the Internet works ONLY for playback of CD - r and DVD - r, but the two do NOT write/burn brand new DVD and CD - R, popping up in the middle of the screen,... Please insert the blank in the E floppy when I actually inserted in the DVD drive.

  I have uninstall and rebooted the PC, in the hope that readers DVD works OK,... but nothing helps.

  Wonder if the registry damaged for DVD player, or what other problems causing this problem?

  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive you purchased is a recordable disc? If this is the case, there should be an indication (e.g., CD-RW/DVD-RW). You can also check for the indication Device Manager.

  If you have confirmed that it is indeed able to write on the discs, then try to activate the IMAPI. To do this please see the instructions below.

  1. click on start

  2. click on run

  3 type "services.msc" (without the quotes)

  4. in the window that opens, you select IMAPI

  5. right-click on it and select "Properties".

  6 start the services.
