My computer has ceased to recognize drives of games like games, they are called rewritable discs.

My computer has ceased to recognize drives of games like games, they are called the re-writable discs and will not give me the option to do something else that import photos or open files.

I managed to install the game by going into the files and setting up manually, however the game refuses to play. This has never happened before, but seems to be perform two games, (a new game I am trying to install and an old, often played the game, which is no longer recognized).

I'm not sure it's related, but this computer has a trojan virus not long ago who was a pain to get rid of. I'm sure it's over now, but I thought that it is preferable to include in the case where he shed light.

I don't know what to do now. I've uninstalled and restarted the driver for the cd/dvd. This made no difference. Help, please.

Thank you for your suggestions, but none of the above helped. I've fixed since the question.

Thank God, the computer is a dell, I was able to live chat with their technicians and they walked me through different types of solutions until we found where the problem was.

The computer if it not so long ago a trojan that messed with some of the readers leaving them unable to recognize media of any kind as something other than files to open. We had to do a clean install of the operating system, which was the heart break because there was a risk of losing anything we forgot to back up and took forever to completely reinstall all the drivers and software on the computer.

The hard drive works fine now, we are relieved and grateful for all the help.

For those who have the same problem, here is the link that we used for clean installation:

  • "Sorry, your computer has encountered an error and needs to restart. We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you. "windows 8

    Hi so I recently bought a new computer and out of no where he worked in some really annoying errors. This has happened three times, I can't understand a reason yet, AFAIK, it occurs randomly. A few times I start up my computer and it starts just the windows icon, the loading circle is not displayed. If I let it run it will remain still frozen. After a few reboots, he says still 'preparation auto repair' is still frozen. This has happened 3 times.

    The first time I have not jumped into the recovery CD, no problem, used a system restore, it was all good.

    The second time, she actually had a cause, our power went out and my pc was used, then maybe he could have ruined a circuit. So I put the CD, it wouldn't recognize it and if he did, he would freeze just and nothing to do. I tried F8, F12 and F1: he didn't even recognize these keys or react at least based on them.
    After a few restarts I miraculously managed to do recognize the CD and this time I made a cooling system.
    This lead me to think it might be some of my files/programs, but I'm still working on acquiring them all back after the update so I think it is unlikely that. 3rd time: yet once, it happened when I turned it on after a normal closed. It would not recognize the cd or the keys. After maybe 15 attempts, but rather oddly, everything was OK? I also noticed that my Tablet Wacom Intuos 5 is connected it will not start, but if I unplug it, it starts very well. (Driver error?)

    All this is fine and dandy, I can deal with it, but not until recently that error in the title stood. I noticed, that it normally occurs when the computer is in "sleep" or the monitor turns off because it is inactive. If I move the mouse to bring on the monitor, it is just a bright blue solid then the following message: "sorry, your computer has encountered an error and needs to restart. We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you"appears and it stops. Whenever this happens, it starts up just fine, it is just annoying it encounters this error whenever I use it. I tried to do system recoveries, but it did not help. I can just do a reset or refreshment, but again once I do not want this effort and to lose files if the error is still going to happen. I'm not sure if this is a hardware error, heating, maybe? But I'm not all that experience in these things. As I said, this computer is fairly new, maybe 2 months, then maybe I could just put its warranty policy to use. But if you can think of anyway to help, it would be great thanks!

    Hi Kaelie,

  • Installed Adobe on the K drive, now my computer has assigned portable K:\ drive to my hard drive. I am reader not valid error 1327 J:\.

    Last year I buy Nero software, and it was installed on my laptop hard drive which has been J:\.  Now for some reason, my computer has received a portable K:\ drive on my hard drive.  So, when I try to open the program, it gives me drive not valid error 1327 J:\.  He also stated that there is insufficient space in J:\, AND it gives me a message "fatal error in installation.  Why he did it assign a different drive letter?

    I don't know how to change the registry, because I'm sure that WHAT I have uploaded in this device will give me a similar error code when I try to use it.  Help!

    Hello

    You must be sure that programs use the drive letter that you define or
    you will need to change it back when needed. The latter would be the
    more great pain in the long term.

    Most programs allow you to change the data reader. If the reader is a program
    installed on and then after he moved to the drive letter, you will need to re - install the
    program.

    I hope this helps.

  • My computer has a separate OS drive of "valorisation"?

    I read in an e-book which transfer the paging file on a disk separate from the OS one can possibly boost the performance.  My computer has a separate disc of "valorisation" of the operating system.  My question is, is this really a separate drive?  I don't remember see two drives in my computer.  If so, is it a good idea to put the on the recovery disk paging file?

    To find out how many actual discs, you have, run (diskmgmt.msc) disk management program and search for.  It will tell you how many physical drives in the system.  That said, recommendations on the displacement of the pagefile is pretty well dated information - there are few real to do, benefits and the only time where it will benefit you is when the computer is running under so a load it won't really help anyway.

  • I have blown my motherboard on an old computer and hooked up my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my favorites on the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive - any help?

    My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I bought a new computer and plugged my old hard drive to it via a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my favorites from the old hard drive to my new, but I can't find where they are. I was unable to determine the search for articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing more than a place of storage for files at this point. My old operating system is windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

    I have 8 32gig usb and 2 x 4gig usb pen drives. My 32gigs are reported by windows 7 as 28gig and my 4gigs are reported by Windows 7 as 3.6gig. I was the look at the size etc and I can not change the size, even when I get a bit of it, it still doesn't let me have any size. It's driving me crazy.  Someone else had this problem? He acknowledges that my hard drive is more a 100gig, then why doesn't it let me have a 32gig player pen?  Come on bugs from Microsoft, a person must know why and how. Please tell me.

    Hello

    In each memory space is reserved to system files or material information, and there is nothing to do with drivers.

    As in my previous post says that the storage devices are measured in bytes and when they are converted to GB, there is a difference in the size of the memory.

    If you take any flash memory, pen or external hard drive memory drivers appear exactly that, there will be variations.

    You can even check with another computer, and the result would be the same.

  • Sansa has ceased to recognize the files

    Last week, I downloaded 3 CD to iTunes as I have done a million times before without a problem. I noticed that the album CD names were all different - even if they were part of the same series.  I deleted the files from my rocket and I changed the name of the album are identical in iTunes.  When I tried to re - download it from iTunes, however, the files are not transferred.

    What gives?

    I don't know how you go sit their - drag-and-drop mode MSC or MTP via Windows Media Player mode.

    It is also possible that iTunes has started to change how it tags things, or that the database online iTunes uses a human error in it.

    But first, try this: make sure that the albums aren't on the "rocket". Then in MSC mode, go to the root directory of rocket (some driveletter "rocket" is on your computer) and remove mtable.sys. The database, the index made from ID3 tags. It may be not transfer because the database estimated that albums are already there. When you disconnect, it will update the database, and then you can try to transfer again.

    Might work, might not. Let us know.
