• DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

  After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
  It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
  Help, please

  Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

  Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

  Hey mate,

  First of all you n t need another driver for CD/DVD drive. It s a part of Windows and so you won't find any other versions. Don t so worry about this!

  Normally, I suggest that you should try to remove the upper and lower filters but you already have a new clean install of Windows so I think your drive is defective and must be replaced.
  But you can try it: follow of workaround: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

  In the user manual, you can find a list of compatible drives. You should buy one of this list because not all readers are compatible with all laptops.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Portege A600-133: DVD player disappears from my computer

  Hello

  I have a laptop Portege A600-133.
  First of all, it is slow at the opening of my computer screen.

  Second: after ejecting a disc dvd or cd, Windows still shows the contents of the disc, the system hangs for a while, a USB unplug sound can be heard and the dvd player disappears from Windows (in my computer / Explorer / Device Manager)

  What this may be?

  I did already the round of upper/lower filters in the registry, but it does not solve the problem...
  I opened the computer laptop and checked the wiring to the dvd drive, cleaned the contacts, supported on the connectors.

  But the problem is still there...
  OS = Windows XP SP3

  Kind regards

  Arjan

  Hello

  My first idea was to remove the upper and lower registry key filters, but it seems that you have already done this.

  Nevertheless, here is a knowledge of MS on the upper and lower filters article mentioned.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Hmm if the unit is not present in the device manager then this means that the device is not connected or he's dead

  You should check if the ODD (optical disc) is recognized in the BIOS.
  You should also check if it of possible to boot from the bootable CD.

  If this is not possible then it may mean that your WEIRD malfunction

• Help! DVD/CD drive does not!

  Help! I used the Microsoft Fix It, I went through community forums and followed the links here and there, I even followed of it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461 that requires you to modify your registry! YET, without success!

  Yesterday, the Windows Vista update ran, everything was hunky dory and a-okay (or so I thought). After that I turned off the computer, ran some errands, the CD-ROM/DVD-rom drive does not work! When I try to run a program installed which requires a disc (like a video game) I get the message "unable to locate the CD-ROM: Please insert the right CD-ROM, select OK and restart the program" even if the disk is in the computer. When I try to insert media, AutoPlay will not... Well... running! I went to the COMPUTER file and found 2 things; underneith the tip where it know "Devices with removable storage" I found a D:\ RW Drive who said that the device was not found, and to the right a menu similer who told me to "Insert a disc" when I clicked on D:\ RW.

  I looked in the DEVICE MANAGER to take a peek at my drivers and find my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver and he told me that the unit was working properly - HOWEVER, when I run Microsoft Fix It he told me something different. He told me my filters of class are corrupt, filter of device drivers are corrupt, device is not working properly, drive is disabled, drive is not assigned a drive letter. Now it's all hunky dory but I don't speak computer, and I would like to DISABLE ONE and non-CORRUPT everything!

  I have already done a system restore and follow the link that requires you to enter in your registry and remove the filters. It's a gateway computer, I already spoke with gateway and they told me to do a factory restore (which I have not yet done because I would like to know if there is a way to fix this problem without uninstalling EVERYTHING on my computer).

  I really hope that this is not a lost cause. Help me to Microsoft, you're my only hope.

• Slim SelectBay DVD - ROM drive

  I recently bought a second hand Satellite Pro, but it seems to be without a DVD player and has only a weight saving plastic 'trick' in the Slim Selectbay.
  I know that my laptop is now discontinued, but it is anyway to acquire a Slim SelectBay DVD - ROM drive, because they are not for sale in the "Accessories" section.

  Hi Mikey

  In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. They can order each hardware component or any part of the accessories for each model of laptop computer independent of how old the model has.

• Satellite P20 DVD ROM drive may not be recognized

  Hello

  I just replaced my DVD ROM drive, but I had a problem.
  It is a new DVD rom drive I ordered at TOSHIBA also.
  It could not be detected by Windows:
  -Tried to check on Device Manager, not detected
  -Tried to reload the driver, the same problem
  Note:
  Whenever I tried to re - insert the disc, the blue light in the control panel of my P20 beds (I understand, which means that the P20 detects the drive) but I don't understand, is that why Windows XP does not detect it or it does not alarm or error messages.

  Any help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Try to use the Add Hardware option.

• Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

  Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

  Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

  I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

  Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

  Thank you

  Hello rich

  Have you noticed the same problem after using Toshiba designed recovery DVDs?

• Satellite P30 - Dvd ram drive not working properly

  Help, please...

  I tried to install 2 pieces of software on a new satellite p30, and resembles a need for new drivers for the dvd player, which is a carpet * a dvd - ram uj-830 s.

  Basically, I installed some bog standard games, they fit very well and while respect it works perfectly fine until I have try to load the game itself, and with one, it brings up the message 'Please eject and re-enter cd-rom.

  Can someone please point me to the right direction because everything I tried so far has failed, have installed the drivers from ram dvd that came with the laptop, but nothing helps.

  Hello

  It will be interesting to know if this happens with all data media you use.

  In my opinion you must first locate the source of this problem. Check if your DVD - RAM drive works correctly using different CD, DVD and DVD - RAM of course. If Yes, in this case it is a problem specific, based on the game CD.

• Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since the installation of Vista

  I did a clean install on my new Vista Ready M7. He had XP tablet in a first time, and the DVD player worked fine. In fact I used to install Vista (Home Premium).

  Now it doesn't work at all. It runs but does not read. Device Manager tells me impossible to start the device. Tried to update driver and he told me that he has the most uptodate pilot.

  Downloaded all the drivers from the Download Center of Tosh for upgrade of Vista of M7 (who got bluetooth, rotation etc. function properly the screen). But none of the downloads seems to be a driver for the DVD - Ram drive. He cannot find a driver anywhere else (including the Panasonic site).
  DVD player is Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841 s

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
  Have you tried to install the XP driver DVD-RAM since the Toshiba page on the Vista operating system?

  Maybe it'll market

  But listening the CD/DVD drive uses the current Microsoft drivers that are included in Vista or XP.
  This is why an additional driver should not be necessary!

  An additional proposal;
  Remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop.
  After restarting again the OS should reinstall the drive and renew the software.

  Another tip:
  -Launch the registry
  -Choose the registry key;
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  -In the right pane, click UpperFilters and LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
  -Reboot the laptop

  Hi, Bérard

  So I have a problem with cd/dvd rom drive.
  After that I updated with the last computer driversmy, the player can not open:(j'ai fais redémarre et c'est le même...) When I press the drive button to open, it flashes orange led for two or three times and nothing happens, the drive is always busy.

  Before reinstalling with the old windows version of the drivers worked well, but that sometimes it did not work... and now it's doing nothing all the time.

  Is my windows 7 x 64, updated drivers to update yesterday. Can someone help me?

  Hello

  You can find a small hole near the CD/DVD to eject the drive.

  Put a small card or PIN in this hole and the CD/DVD drive should eject manually.

  In my case, it always helps.

  Good luck
