  Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  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.

  There is a cd writes that my dvd drive would not read, the driver can read other CDs & DVDs well.
  who says cd's seems to be fine as it can become red from the other computer.

  any suggestions?

  * Thanks to *.

  Hello

  That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

  In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.

• The CD/DVD drive does not read discs

  Hi, I have a COMPAQ Presario CQ40 with optiarc DVD RW AD - 7561 ATA Device driver, recently the drive does not work properly. It can read and burn the disc, that I already used, but when it's a new (disc white) it does not read the disc.  It has an error message "make sure that the disc uses a format windows recognizes. If the drive is not formatted, you must format it before you use it. "the disc is the format that would recognize the system.  I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled from the Device Manager, but nothing works, tried too much microsoft fixit, always the same.  Hope that there is another work around here... Thank you...

  Have you tried using other burning software?

• Satellite P200-140-CD/DVD drive does not read the CD

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite P200-140. The DVD/CD Player plays all DVDs without problem. However, it does not read CD. A message 'no disc' appears.
  I've updated the drivers, cleaned the lens, completed all the normal tasks.

  Any advise / solutions out there?

  Hello

  Maybe you should try to remove the capital letters and lowerfilters in the registry, because you can often read here in the forum:

  (1) run regedit (Start-Run-Regedit online online)
  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.

  I hope this works for you too! :)

• Equium A200-1V0-CD/DVD drive does not read disks

  Hello

  in 'My computer', it shows the drive as being there for the dvd/cd etc, and when you put a disc in it makes all the noises whirring that it starts to read, but they are actually not autostart or anything and you do not see them on the screen 'my computer '.

  It lists just like the normal reader, as thoough, that nothing was in it.

  Double clicking on it does nothing at all, nor open or explore.

  Any ideas please?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  There is a general solution but it doesn't work still, but in my opinion it s no doubt worth a try.

  First of all, you need to remove the drive from Device Manager.
  Simply access the Device Manager, mark the CD/DVD drive and remove it from the list of devices.

  In addition, you will need to access the registry using the regedit command.
  There, you have to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Finally, restart the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD has been recognized again.

• CD/DVD drive does not read the newspapers.

  A blank 'CD' message appears when a DVD + R disc is inserted (IE a disc created images or slide show)

  First of all, what version of Windows®, the edition and service pack level is your system running?

  Second, to describe the material in question, please?
  What is the manufacturer and model of the optical drive?
  What is the manufacturer and model of your system so excited?
  What is the manufacturer and model of the motherboard if it is not packed?

  Finally and most importantly, please read: KB555375 - how to ask a question.

  The manufacturer of the drive and the model is important because there are scanners which were manufactured until the latest optical media definitions were defined.  Many of these same readers have updated firmware that will allow them to recognize several types of media.  If your system is shipped with the disk in it, package manager can have the firmware update on their support site.  If not supplied in a system, you can go to the optical drive manufacturer support web site to search for updates to the firmware.  (Often easier said than done.  A search engine may be involved...)  There may be other material considerations, that's why we ask for the manufacturer of motherboard and model or a system.

• My cd/dvd drive does not read

  I think it's a Hitachi ATA devivce, but only appears in the disk drives under Device Manager. There is no real reference to CD/DVD-Rom it.

  I tried the suggestions I have read, including going into the registry and delete upper and lower filters. Even if it worked long enough for upgrade me my system Vista to Windows 7, it has not recognized again since then, even though I removed the filters after the upgrade. Can anyone hel me please?

  Thanks Shinmila. Well that the driver of the cd has been resolved in that the optical drive was shot and I needed to a mounted another drive, they expressed that the computer was slow and was it really necessary to a repetition of the upgrade, I'll follow your suggestion concerning the new pilots through and I you for this tank. I also thank SpiritX for your suggestions, I did, and you mentioned that it could be a corrupted disk.
