    My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

    I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

    When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

    A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  • drive E is not supported... Light sensor is damaged... cdfs is disabled?

    I recently had a computer error that my data were critical... a sudden loss of power to the local drive, who said: I've lost kernel-power.  Now it won't work at all. Do I need a new hard drive?  Drive is more than the C drive and is not supported.  Also, they said that I should reinstall the driver but I can't find one on the internet, it is a new one called Sata something...

    I tried solutions: a chkdsk, reboot in safe mode and many downloads.

    You may need to replace the disk, but first we need a little more information.  Are you sure that this drive is a hard drive and not a DVD/CD player?  If it is a hard drive, what happened when you tried chkdsk?  One thing I would recommend is that you get some drive from Western Digital or Seagate Diagnostics and try.  If diagnostics say to replace the disk, then you probably need to.

    If you do not have spare batteries for your computer, you can invest $50 or more and get a.  That would be probably saved you of this problem.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

    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

  • Silent CD/DVD drive acoustic does not work on Satellite P100-194

    Satellite P100-194 (Win XP MCE, Bios-Version 2.20)

    Given that excessive vibration of the drive DVD-Multi-with some of my DVDs and CDs, I would not use the acoustic silencer, but West no difference between Silent Mode and Normal Mode.

    I tried to reinstall the silent acoustic tool, without success. As this problem starts to get really annoying, any help would be appreciated.

    I wonder if the built-in-multi-DVD player is sensitive by default (sometimes entire Notepad starts vibrating combined with a noise level very high during playback of a dvd)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi WB,.

    I think that acoustic silencer simply limited the rate at which information can be obtained on CD/DVD in order to prevent the rotation high speed that can sometimes occur when extracting the CD or the DVD to the hard drive. If you're just watching DVDs (or listening to CD, by the way) then the speed of the drive will be not particularly high because once the buffer is full so there is no need to read more data from the disc itself. If you look at the car LED, you'll see that it only lights intermittently ever.

    The speed of the drive will decrease during playback, as the laser reads information from the outer part of the disc surface.

    The presence of noise and vibration normally indicates that the disk is "eccentric" or is not set centrally in the reader, and this may indicate a possible problem with the clamping mechanism itself. However, it is always worth checking that the center hole of the disc itself has no Burr or pieces of materila which he would lift off, and it is also useful to check if the label of the disc (assuming that it is a type of stick on paper) is properly attached and has no loops or bubbles in it since this may also cause noise of air.

    I have the experience of a couple of game of CD-ROM discs that cause a lot of noise and vibrations in my book and recording, I found that the central hole was slightly shifted.

    Kind regards

    The other half of the time:

    I have not really diagnosed this, but as far as I know the DVD player is set to 'Silent Performance' in the BIOS.

    Well, click on the drive, selecing 'Power On' has no effect.

    Is there a reason to do this, I need my car for work 100% of the time, not 50%.

    Most likely a setting I missed, but in the power manager, I don't see any mention of this, however prove me wrong .

  • DVD drive seems to not write

    HP G71-340us

    Windows 7 64 bit

    A laptop for 2 weeks now. Message has just popped up to create recovery DVDs, okey dokie NP.

    Have a new offer of Memorex DVD - R 4.7 GB DVD so I go and get the three said the program of recovery is necessary.

    Disc 1 - recovery said the disc was not Virgin, ok maybe I got a bad DVD, he said to eject and insert a blank DVD.

    Disc 2 - recovery began and grew to 6% then says incompatible disc.

    I have now 2 coasters.

    I start the HP provided program Cyberlink Power2Go, select a folder with about 3 GB of data and insert a new DVD-R in the drive. Click on burn starts now and valid program to burn DVD for a minute at the media stops as an error.

    Have now 3 coasters.

    These DVD works in my laptop HP DV6000 computer, old Acer laptop and 2 desktops Sony.

    Can I have a bad drive or have a solution?

    EDIT:

    I had a few CD - RW I bought about 10 years ago, jumped into a vacuum and the program Cyberlink Power2Go copied about 300 MB of photos and finalized the CD fine.

    It seems so the reader works for burning CD - RW but not DVD-r.

    Update:

    After being on the phone for a few hours with tech support, they think I have a faulty DVD drive. They offered to send me one to replace me?  I informed them that I had another 3 hours to return the laptop to Staples to meet their 14 days back for any reason policy. The tech laughed and said go for it and call back if I still have problems.

    Back the laptop in the box, goto Staples, exchange for a new, light, go through the Setup program, click on create recovery disks and voila, it creates any recovery 3 DVD perfectly and still had 1/2 hour to spare.

    In any case, technical support has been excellent, Staples was very thoughtful and I have a working computer.
