  Hello

  Check with the support of Compaq, their online documentation and drivers and their forums for
  known issues.

  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

  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

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• Re-installation of Windows XP doesn't recognize any hard drive - help

  Hello

  I have model X60s: 17044JU

  I installed XP of origin.

  My computer is very slow and I am trying to reinstall XP from my CD (and the HD format so I have everything clean).

  When the blue screen Windows installations appears and loads the drivers etc then it tells me that it doesn't recognize any HDD.

  I thought that I might need the SCSI or RAID drivers, but since I don't have floppy drive I can not load their.

  How to install new XP any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

• HP Envy 15 - q47002 i7: laptop overheating, does not recognize any USB. Even in the Bios.

  Hello

  I bought this product last year, so my warranty wore off.

  My laptop is overheating and it is very slow at this point (even videos are not working well). I tried to clean it up but it was without result.  I want the game and computationally intensive applications, but I'm afraid of the motherboard or hard drive failure.

  Now to the point. I can't install the new OS, any OS because this laptop doesn't have a DVD player and it doesn't recognize any usb 2.0 or 3.0.  I tried to change the options in the Bios and I tried to uninstall and install the drivers (they are up to date).

  What should I do? I can't install a new system because of this problem, and I can't use anything more demanding than youtube which is really annoying since this laptop has good specifications.

  I am currently running Windows 8.1 which I got when I made a purchase.

  I hope someone answers!

  Thank you.

  EDIT: In the Device Manager it says device not installed with yellow exclamation point. By Usb or ext hdd. And it will not find the device-specific drivers. As I never need them on another PC or laptop.

I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. In this way, it will look at the hardware installed on your laptop.

  With the USB not recognized by Windows.  Here is a link to solve the USB connections.

  I would like to uninstall everything cited first in the list of universal serial bus controllers.

  Please note remove any and all USB devices and remove the memory card in the slot of the card reader. Disconnect all non-essential devices before you uninstall the controller Universal serial bus.

  Restart your computer, and then insert the USB device.

  You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

  Here is a link if you need to download drivers USB Intel for Windows. This is a utility to update.

• Sdatellite M100 does not recognize the CD/DVD drive in Windows XP

  It is listed in the Device Manager, but with a yellow explanation mark.
  No mention of this in my computer.
  No icon.

  I am able to open the drawer and I put several types of cd/DVD in them without any result.
  The light flashes in orange on the door. The drive is listed as "Mat * advd-ram uj - 841 s-(sm)" in the bios under boot devices.

  I'm trying to figure out how to remove the drive and reconnect but it seems that I have to disassemble the thing to do and hesitate without a diagram.

  First remove the player of ODD (CD/DVD) from the list in Device Manager.

• Pavilion dv7 cannot recognize the CD/DVD drive, no help support "assistant".

  Subject says it all.  Since I got this machine, it had problems when the CD/DVD drive becomes invisible and are not accessible by any means.  A reboot has solved in the past, but now, it doesn't seem to work more.  I would like to reinstall the drivers, but guess what, I don't know what kind of player, it is (funny how that works), and Support 'Assistant' is apparently ihcapable to understand the model of this Pavilion dv7 ("product name: loading...") ("now until the heat death of the universe), which does not help either.  Anyone has a better idea than just blindly install the drivers?

  Hello

  Drivers for CD/DVD drives comes with Windows (IE with the operating system - it is not the drivers you need to download).  The driver is located in C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys.

  First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

  Windows 7

  Vista

  Check if the drive works now.

  If the drive does not, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Right-click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also, if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall it, once again is not removing the drivers if requested. Then, open the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives.  Make a right click the drive (if it shows!) and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.

  Restart the computer and let Windows reinstall devices.  Check the disc again.

  If it still does not work, re-run the fixit automated Microsoft at the link below.

  Windows 7

  Vista

  Then, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

  Hello mike salinas.

  1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

  2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

  I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

  Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

  You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

  Thank you
