• HD DVD - ROM driver is missing or corrupt on Satellite A200-s 23

  Hi, recently I bought my Toshiba Satellite A200-23 s and now it says that the HD DVD-ROM driver is missing or currupted. The system can not see DVD - ROM. My laptop is still under warranty, but perhaps I can fix it somehow? I found the list of drivers on this site but you've not seen DVD - ROM drivers.
  Thank you

  Don t think that it s a hardware problem.
  I think that it s a registry problem.

  Access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Reboot the laptop.

  Hello

  Not in RegEdit, I thought in the Device Manager.

  In the control panel - Device Manager which you may already have done.

  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.

  --------------------------------------------------------

  In DeviceManView - Options - check show only connected devices.

  Still sounds like material.

  I run one - SAPPHIRE HD 5450 1 GB DDR3 PCIE HDMI - Twin (DVI & VGA) graphics card

  First configuration - downloaded the drivers from the manufacturers Web site.

  On the installation of what I thought was the at and the latest driver, 2 problems...

  1 - the installation says that I needed .net Dot 4

  Downloaded and installed - Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (stand-alone Setup program)

  2 - the second test video driver installation is finished - but - screens flickered and flashed like crazy.

  I did correct anything that.

  Wiped the hard drive and run through the steps above.

  This time, making sure to use the original cd that came with the card of 2011. Result!

  PS - In the first leg through after installing windows successfully, I did all the updates of Windows 7.

  It took hours to download and install.

  Second time, I did not bother with the Windows updates immediately.

  Next step-

  3 future issues to be covered in the following threads

  (a) preparation of the utility of the technology Intel Management Acive - entirely private or disabled.

  (Do not need or want but hate having outstanding pilot flags in Device Manager).

  (b) the image of the hard drive and train you to restore boot partitions for multiboot Windows 7 installation.

  (c) work on a quick way to landslide-live stream the latest windows updates in the installation.

  Thanks for the help and I hope that some info above is useful.

  Advice on the high road (preferably free) partition SW of imagery to manage encrypted data of the partitions would be a good thing.

• 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!
