• my cd/dvd drive is missing and I don't know why

  I went to play a cd on my laptop and it had not recognized cd drive

  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.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  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
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

• CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows

  Original title: another question about the DVD drive is not detected in Windows 7

  I have the same problem that many others have described here on the DVDR drive not detected after installing Windows 7. I still have not solved this issue. But I have another similar problem. The system will not recognize an external USB DVDR drive connected to a USB port. In essence, I have no access to the internal drive (in a Dell Inspiron 1545) or the external hard drive. Without access to a DVD player I can't even uninstall Windows 7, and I can not install or save anything else without a drive. I'm at my wits end. If anyone can help I will shower you with praise.

  Scenario 2:
  
  1 try to connect the DVD USB drive on another computer and check if the problem persists.
  2. try to connect other USB devices to the computer and check if it is detected.
  
  Try to run the troubleshooter and see if the problem is resolved.

• Error message "a required CD/DVD driver is missing" - install Windows7 via USB

  So I recently built a new office because my laptop fried itself, and I ran into the famous message "drver cd/dvd required is missing."  I tried many solutions to internet: change SATA AHCI, ATA, IDE; starting with only the hard drive; and the solution that works for 95% of the population: pulling out the USB and insert into another port to the Welcome screen.

  Nothing has worked.  I have downloaded the drivers for my motherboard out of their Web site, uncompressed them and put the files on the USB key.  The drivers are not yet recognised because they don't show up in the "Scanning for drivers.

  I used the tool Windows 7 USB Installation and WinToFlash to make the USB bootable, nor work.  I have my USB drive plugged into a port DAC - UP, because I read that Windows 7 is not supported with native support for USB3.0.

  Please help me!

  Well, I just fixed this problem.  I found a Youtube video on this specific issue, and he said that the non-existent USB3.0 support was to blame.

  I followed the video, mounted the USB3.0 drivers to the boot.wim and booted up my office as usual.  This time, he spent the error message and let me install Windows.

  I am so happy.

  EDIT:

• Load the driver - A required CD/DVD driver is missing

  I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop, and at the time of installation, I get the following message:

  A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. I f you have a driver disk, CD/DVD or player of the USN, please insert it now.

  I guess only he eans there not a device driver for the CD/DVD that contains the installation disk. Which drive do I need and why is it not standard on Windows 7 installation cd?

  Hello

  The following message by Bummed about the details of the Support Forums Windows 7 how he got it past: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/a43574ad-e8d0-4d9e-aa86-6ddfda1e9079/Bummed Tuesday, may 12, 2009 18:25

  

  OK, so after three days to try and fight with the installation I have WIN7 RC 7100 64 bit operating.

  Given that many people had with missing driver CD/DVD, error I was blocked I'll list the steps I took to work. Before I did anything, I downloaded a free copy of Boot disc Hiren with Patch keyboard just in case I had of problems (freeware and easy enough to find if you google it). I found myself only use it for the DOS prompt but hey - ho...

  Some of these steps may seem redundant, but ultimately, this is what took the OS for me:

  1 partition and reformat HD's BACK with the commands FDISK and FORMAT C:

  2. install a Vista 64 bit version which, in turn, re-partitioned the drive itself

  3. once Vista was running (does not have a code because I knew that I wouldn't be on it for a long time) inserted the RC 64 bit DVD

  4. in the install window, I ran the check compatibility online tool

  5. He told me that my ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI controller must be updated in order to install

  6 Ran Wizard to update to Vista which has found a new driver for the ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI

  7 rebooted Vista 64 to finalize the updates updated (removed DVD RC while restarting disk)

  8. once started, re-insert the DVD of the RC, click on install and went through all the normal installation steps.

  Again, this may seem unnecessary (as the FDISK / FORMAT) time, but ultimately it's what works and what I've been through, the problem people seem to have with the CD/DVD driver not found is that the ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI controller is not updated. I couldn't find a place to just "Download driver" and put it on a drive flash or something, I got allow windows to do that I hope it will not be the people back. I'm not enough common sense to see if you can install the driver in another way.

  Hope that this info is of use to someone and if anyone has questions, feel free to leave a message and I'll check it out later today.

  Many thanks to Amrooz and Java_az who helped along the way!

• CD/DVD driver is missing Windows 7

  I have 2 Cd and DVD drivers listed in the currency manager; HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT34N and WFIXK G9ERGTMRW SCSI CdRom motto.  Neither work and the drivers seem to be missing.   I uninstalled both and rebooted several times.  It worked once in the past, drivers have been reloaded successfully after reboot. Unfortunately not this time.    Does anyone have tips that can solve this problem?

  RAM DVD uninstalled, rebooted, checked the Manager of computer peripherals and 2 drivers still missing.

  I was wondering is it could be the other file (x 32) as mine is x 64?

  It may be possible, a filter driver is loaded or trying to be responsible, that you may not have seen.

  What I might suggest. to ensure that the filter values are deleted, copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save to a .reg file (save with the .reg extension and give a name like fixcd.reg):

  First create a system restore point, and then double-click the saved .reg file, add to the registry and restart the computer.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
