  Restart and do not open all programs except as necessary here and try this checklist.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  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 loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Why my pc does not work no matter what .exe? I couldn't even run diagnostics

  Hi SteliosArmenis,

  Thank you for keeping us posted on the State of the question.

  I see there is that the antivirus installed on the computer could not detect infections. To ensure that the computer is clean, we can run a thorough scan using Windows Defender in offline mode.

  I suggest to download Windows Defender Beta offline to a flash drive, CD, DVD or USB and then perform the steps.

  The articles explain how to create a disk and run the scan.

  NOTE: the program must not not to be run / run from the office.

• Combo CDR/DVD SDR2102 drive will not read CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I have a mobile Ergo Elite 4.
  The hard drive crashed and I bought a new one.
  I have loaded windows XP by using a boot disk but cannot get the Toshiba SDR2102 CDR/DVD combo drive to work. I had to load windows on via USB
  using a USB port.

  I can see the drive in windows Explorer, but it will not read the CD or DVD.
  I looked in the Device Manager, and it came with no warning mark.
  I tried deleteting, re-startup and he's back in the Device Manager.

  I'm trying to find a better driver, but it says that I use the best driver.
  I tried various Web sites using sand everywhere tells me that I do not need a driver for this drive.
  What I do, it seems as if the Combo driver is recognized but it will not be read whatever it is inserted, he said only: insert the disc.

  Does anyone know what I can try? or know where I can get drivers for it or software to test the drive?

  any help would be appreciated. :-(
  Some.

  Hello

  You n t need a special driver for the CD/DVD drive.
  CD/DVD players use the current Microsoft drivers already contained in the Windows operating system.

  In my opinion, you should first test different types of media. Please note that not all CD or DVD s are compatible. Distribute readers can't handle bad quality mediums.

  But we shouldn't t rule out a risk of hardware malfunction.
  Disk failure and you may wish to contact your dealer for a replacement.

• DVD/CD RW do not read audio CDs or data or save a blank CD, but that it's ok to read and write DVDs

  My DVD/CD RW drive will not respond to CDs of any type, void, audio or data.  It whirs for a few seconds and then more nothing.  No AutoPlay (even if she is selected and in the registry as a value of 1), and if I try to click on the drive, the old hourglass stand forever and if I click on new does not, unless I have the disc, it erases then back to normal.

  The drive works fine for DVD reading and writing.  I tried to little nearly every thread relating to problems of CD, and I ran out of hair out! I uninstalled it, unplugged, repluged, rebooted, reinstalled, you name it! PC has updated the driver when I try to update.  I did all the advice regedit I saw and still nothing!  Anyone?  Please?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

• Workstation XW8000 with XP recognizes the new DVD player but will not read DVDs

  I just added a DVD player for my HP xw8000 workstation. It is being prepared to try installing Windows 7. Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says that my machine calls brilliantly... all green. Also, because many new software products are released for MSDN on DVD, it is necessary for me to be able to use this DVD ROM.

  I installed the DVD drive is recognized by WinXP Pro with all the latest service packs. Shows up as drive E in Explorer, it appears as a CD ROM In Device Manager it is listed as E - IDE DVD - ROM DVD-8212. However this player will not read a DVD!  I tested the DVD media in another more recent machine and it reads very well in a same DVD ROM.

  Is there something wrong with the xw8000 it cannot read from a DVD ROM drive?

  Thanks for any help.

  Weird that you receive notifications by email of responses. Usually, this is the default setting. When you type a response, it is usaully a box that is checked to receive notifications by e-mail. (Top right)

  I agree, the DVD player seems to be defective. It should work with only Windows drivers. The only additional files that you need would be to play movie discs, etc.

  Are your jumpers on both drives positioned same_If the cd drive is jumper as master, the other slave as you. If the other player is cavalier CS (cable select) the dvd player must be linked, CS. I think most of the HP machines are CS. Try that to see if it solves. If this isn't the case, maybe time to try another drive.
