• CD-ROM drive does not all discs.

  Well, today I bought a new wireless router, and I had run the installation wizard. I opened the CD-ROM drive, insert the disc, and then closed and waited. After a few minutes, nothing. I opened and closed several times and still nothing. I put another disc and it does not read or the other.

  Can someone explain why the drive is not working or read all disks? I spent $70 on the router.

  The drive does not has nothing to do with the router. You are able to read one of your usual cd? Have you tried a cd lens cleaner? If it will read something other than the disk, there is a lack of drive (in this case, sigh...) or other Setup has detected and blocked the autorun and the setup.exe for some reason any. This you can check click with the right button on the device and choosing 'Explorer' and not 'open '. If it shows you the files on the disk, right-click on the setup.exe file, click Properties, and make sure that you have permissions to run the program under the Security tab. In addition, the first of the properties tabs will specify if windows has blocked the executable to start and will give you the possibility to activate or enable it via the checkbox.

• CD rw-cd rom drive... not reading all discs.

  OK, so I bought a studio of dell in January. 2009... it came with a regular training who rewrote the CD and reads the DVD.  and a blue ray player.  My Blue Ray works for everything, including burning cds\dvds.  the standard drive reads cds and dvds but not CDs software, also would not read any kind of cd serious if it had music, photos, video, or software. After one of three days he would have completely read only new music CD. I didn't care to send the com for a new cdrom drive and they would eventually wipe my drive which I had installed new programs. which allow only install once. so I stopped completely to help this drive after unsuccessfully for the dell Diagnostics Web page. now im wondering if I should just replace the drive of CD-ROM. my com. said very well his work through all the tests of systems etc... Thank you

• Hard drive on my computer has stopped reading all discs.

  Original title: cd driver problem

  We have windows vista, the hard drive works at all. We have tried to re install from windows thwe site, he says that we already had the best driver. What can we do?

  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
  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.

  ===============================

  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
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• CD/dvd drive reads all discs

  I have Dell inspiron 6000 with windows XP home. My Cd/DVD drive was working fine. Able to play any disc. Now, recently, he stopped recognizising all disks. I tried to get back the driver, updating the driver, uninstalling the driver and reload the driver, without success. I remember, previously, that I had similar problem a few years back when I downloaded the SP3 and microsft corrected using my computer remotely. I don't know what they were doing. But again today same problem. Microsoft will not help as they say now want to pay now. Could you help to get my cd/dvd drive works again. Thank you

  Most likely the drive failed / dies and must be replaced.

  Hello
  First of all I am sorry for the bad English.

  I have a problem with my satellite U300 XP, since a few days my optical drive take a long time to start reading MusicCd and now it won't read musicCd and such me no cd.
  But she could read DVD(all type)/CD-rom.

  What is the problem, is system hard or soft drivers?

  Thank you

  Christophe

  What happened, if you try to play a music CD?
  You get an error message?
  You can see the contents of the CD?

  I doubt that's a hardware problem to check if you have all Service Packs and patches for your installed Windows.
