    Hello

    Have you checked in the Device Manager if the CD/DVD player display correctly?
    Please check this!

    As a follow-up, I would recommend removing the reader of CD/DVD of the crèche of the device a restarting the laptop.
    The Windows operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.

    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  • CD/DVD drive has stopped working and now not recognized in 'My Computer'

    I have a HP Pavilion computer to office model a6109n, product number GG038AA, S/N CNH7250K0M. I've been running Windows 7 for 2 years. My CD player recently stopped working. I can't attribute this failure to any specific event that would have led to it.  When a CD is inserted, the green light comes on for about 6 seconds then turns off. The CD player is not long represented on the 'My Computer' to readers list. The CD drive appears in Device Manager. I tried to roload the driver for CD drive, Windows gave a message stating that the best driver is already installed. I have no error message and ran three programs different viruses with no problems. I've also updated Windows available current configuration that has not solved the problem. Thinking it was a hardware problem, I checked the CD drive cable connections and that did not help.  I replaced the CD drive with a new drive for HP and had the same symptoms. I returned the new CD player and he traded for an external CD drive and had the same symptoms in all USB ports. I tried every USB port with a flash player and the flash player saved on my computer in all USB ports. If my CD drive is being recognized by the Device Manager but not in my computer. It's okay if it's an internal or external drive. Everything else on the computer works fine. More troubleshooting ideas?  Thank you.

  • Satellite 1000-Z2 CD/DVD drive has stopped working

    I had problems with the automatic eject button and have been doing it manually, and recently it was random when 'docking', so I reinserted, if not drive to work very well. Now he stopped to read the CD/DVD, and the entire computer freezes. Is it better to consider a repair shop or buy a new drive?

    Hello

    Generally, if the drive is dead only the drive replacement will solve the problems. I don t think that it is possible to repair the disk.
    But nevertheless, you must contact the service because there you can control compatible player. The problem is that not all readers are compatible with the device.
    The ASP from Toshiba have detailed information about the compatibility of the device and you can be sure that you will get a good player at 100%.

  • my dvd drive has stopped working. says windows cannot load the device driver, can be corrupted or missing code 39. When I search for updates, it says I have the most up to date. Help!

    drive is Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-850 s a SATA drive

    Driver provider Microsoft

    Version 6.0.6002.18005

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • CD/DVD drive has stopped working

    I have a Gateway M-1625 w / Windows Vista - since Adobe first Elements 7 installed a few days ago, I ben can't access the CD/DVD drive.  The Manager of said devices 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this material (code 37) driver"I had first uninstalled Adobe program.  Reading similar problems discussed in the forum, I tried to uninstall the driver, hoping that Windows Vista would put it after reboot.  Upon restart, the computer will display message "devide software driver was not properly installed - please contact the manufacturer of your device to help get this installed device ' device is HL-DT-ST-DVDRAM-GSA-T20F-ATA

    I'm VERY inexperienced in this kind of thing!  Can you help me?

    Hello!!

    If you have no experience, then do nothing, try to call a repairman or call the manufacturer and ask them to do it for you...

    but try somethings first of all you can... I guess that your drive was working fine just before some software have been installed, try the system restore to the date when your computer was working fine.

    to the system restore menu-> all programs from start-> Accessories-> systemtools-> systemrestore...

    Choose the date when your system to work properly, select the calendar... and follow the instructions on the screen. Don't forget: read carefully the Instructions... :)

    Ask if you have any doubt.

  • Optical disc drive has stopped working on the Satellite a series

    My 10 year old son has a Toshiba laptop that he uses to play CD games, watch DVDs, etc.
    A few days ago he complained that he can no longer play its CD and DVD s.

    When I checked it, I found that the PC DVD R/RW e drive is full when I right click on it and open properties. It says 0 bytes remaining and the pie is complete without space. I don't know what happened, so is my son. You see, I'm not good with this stuff, please someone tell me what to do. Thank you...

    Moreover, our laptop is only a half a year old. It was purchased new.

    Hello

    To be honest I'm not quite sure what happened but maybe it s m just a problem of windows registry.

    First of all I recommend you to remove the CD/DVD Device Manager drive.
    Then leave the appliance Manager and start recording (in RUN type regedit).

    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}

    After restarting the device, wait for Windows to recognize the CD/DVD drive and retest the CD/DVD drive

  • DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

    I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

    The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.

    Hello

    you mean that the external hard drive does not work too? Some software blocking your disks?

    I think that the best way to check if your internal drive still works would try to start with a bootable CD (perhaps with a live linux distribution on it) and to try this with the external hard drive also.

    If you're really a software that prevents the drive work properly, then you should recover your machine with the recovery media to make the drive work again properly.
