• DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

  After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
  It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
  Help, please

  Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

  Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

• DVD drive has disappeared from my computer and Device Manager lists

  The machine is an Acer laptop with a single disc DVD - RW Win Vista Home Premium 32 running with all the latest updates installed.

  I have not installed anything new (software or hardware), I know.

  The other day the player just stopped working and is no longer registered to each workstation or in the Device Manager list.

  While they inspected the system event logs there is a chain of...

  Event 7026 - the next (s) starting or starting system could not load:

  CDROM

  and...

  Event 11 atapi - driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort2.

  Event 9 atapi - the device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not within the time limit.

  Event 11 atapi - driver has detected an error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 controller.

  I know that the drive itself works well because when I initially turn on the laptop I can hear the drive spin upward and I'm able to eject the drawer, so there the power etc... but once in Windows the drive does not work or even appear anywhere.

  So far, I have tried.

  1. detection of new hardware in Device Manager

  2 - installing all IDE channels and let the system reinstall after re-booting

  3 running the Microsoft Fixit tool, it seems to point out that there is a problem and said fixed it, but nothing is actually fixed by that

  I noticed a few other posts which look similar to mine, but had trouble understanding if they truly are or not.  So apologies if this is a repeat of something already posted.

  OK tried the fixit tool still once, was not aware there were different tools for different issues.  I have the wrong tool launches the first time round.

  Anyway, the drive is still on holiday somewhere, fixit tool reports that it may not detect the drive at all, so that seems to indicate that he does not drive connected.

  Is it possible that the IDE cable has come off the promenade inside the laptop?  I hope that not because I just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure how to get to where the Player connects, but seems almost impossible... can get to all the rest, keyboard and screen disconnected, RAM, disk HARD etc, but the DVD player, not a hope!

  Looks like I'll take it to a service somewhere I guess.

• DVD ROM disappeared from the computer and VISTA Device Manager

  Hello

  I know there are a lot of discussions on the same topic, but I read everything and still my problem persists.

  I'm pretty sure that the problem occurred after installing iTunes. The DVD ROM is no longer accessible on my laptop. The light flashes and the attempts to start a disk, but then nothing.

  I was in the high register looking for filters and bass to remove (such as published in the number of threads). I found only UpperFilters which I deleted but still nothing. I also tried Microsoft FixIt but does not have the ROM either.

  What to do next? Can anyone help? He began to depress me now.

  Well, I have solved my problem. After trying everything I read and was advised to try.

  I simply unplugged the laptop and handed. Then, I reviewed the reader noticing only so slightly, I could see the silver housing of the reader. So I applied a bit of pressure, pushing the player to the laptop so that I could see is no longer the silver case.

  I have not for a minute think that might be the problem. Once the laptop is started, Windows immediately installed the driver and open computer it was. DVD ROM restored.

  Not sure if this may help someone of you guys, but if I post my "fix" :-)

  Thank you I enjoyed your attention and your support.

  I called and Microsoft went through basically the same things that you suggested.

  We did a system restore (at an earlier date) and fortunately he fixed itrself. I'm good to go.

  Who knows why it happened.

• HP HD5000s Personal Media 500 GB external hard drive is missing from the computer.

  Original title: HP HD5000s media personal 500 GB external hard drive.

  Drive K disappeared from my office. How can I get that back to use my. HP 500

  Hi Ron,

  Don't you see the external hard drive listed in Device Manager?

  You can also check if the hard drive is listed in disk management.

  a. click the Start button > Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools.

  b. double-click on computer management.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) in the left pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

  Please post back and we do know.

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

• After a virus infection, the App Data/Roaming/swcltb.dll is missing from my computer and the fan use 100% all the time

  Here's the problem:

  My computer was happening slowly, so I did a virus scan and it turned out that my firewall has been closed and wouldn't load up. So it took me some time to solve the problem by following these steps: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-firewall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/2679690e-c375-4232-ae45-404374386635?page=6 naernxp post, it solved the problem.
  Naernxp suggested from virus scan so I Redid the scan for malware and all then it deleted the file swcltb.dll. I thought it was the virus so I ignored it, but after restart pc my firewall has been set, but the computer showed that the swcltb.dll file is missing and CPU usage was 100% nonstop.
  Before that virus scanning, my CPU usage was normal.
  RAM: 2 GB
  Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13 GHz

  This file is not a base file MS Win, I suspect it is a residue of the infection

• CD drive disappeared completely from the computer!

  My CD/DVD drive has disappeared from my computer. I looked in the peripheral and nothing found, managed computer Manager and got nothing, used Microsoft Fixit and got no where and I entered in the registry to try to remove the filters of upper/lower case, but I don't see them where. It worked one day and then the other, he does not. I don't know what to do! I have an Acer Aspire 5520 with an Optiarc drive.

  Hello

  -No restart - power for a few minutes, so there is a full hard reset.

  It's my generic convenience store - please start at the top here and jump down nothing even if
  you've done it before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

  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.

  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.

  Hope these helps.

• Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

  I tried to apply the patch, MicrosoftFixit.dvd.Run.exe. He could not say "NET Framework initialization error. Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application.

  shanglur,

  If you have installed all Windows updates, there's no upper/lower filters to delete, you can try...
