My DVD writer now accepts only cd.

When I insert a Dvd nothing happens now. It used to accept the dvd before but now it doesn't. In the properties too device type is displayed as "Cd drive".

Combination optical drives have two lasers - one for DVD and one for the CD. The DVD laser has failed. This is not uncommon. Simply replace the drive. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • DVD writer stopped writing - Vista missing files

    My dvd writer just stopped working. It crashes 5 dry (50%) and then told me that I don't have a recordable disc. I just noticed, but he COULD have started right after my daughter installed the latest version of itunes. Certainly miss me my IMAPI service cmd = sc query ImapiService returns "the Service does not exist. I have also no controller of ata/atapi IDE showing in my device manager, although my SATA dvd writer appear.

    I'm running Vista 64 HP SP2 on a HP 8430f mediacenter. I swapped the device and tried different disks without result. What deleted my files? Two of them are the source of my problem? Can an 'upgrade' of Vista with my old discs to reinstall them?

    The Itunes software has caused your problem. Not knowing your daughters age and sensitivities, I can only offer this Advisor, from the season. (Look at my photo for a clue).

    You will find a hand for her computer or you share the computer with different accounts.

    Now, to solve your problem for now.

    (1) have you tried a "system restore point". Vista has written a just restore point before the installation of applications (ie itunes).

    (2) HP troubleshooting utility:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00817052&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4062&rule=3540&product=3686668&sw_lang=#c00817052_dm

    (3) can do an "upgrade" to Vista with my old discs to reinstall them? Please, do not use this wording, I get a terrible cold. What your actually implying to use your "recovery discs DVDs" to solve the problem.  This is not an upgrade, it is a destructive formatting your drive, reinstall the original Vista operating system. Have you started shaking? (Any OS) reinstall erases the hard drive. You willlose all your photos, music, documents and all theinstalled programs that you added to the system.

  • CD - RW formatted "like flash drive" is now read-only?

    I swear it never happened to me before.

    He asked if I wanted to format "as a flash drive" or "for CD or DVD drive" and I chose "flash player" because I want to write for her, etc.
    After a long process of formatting (very long), the player is now read-ONLY.  I can not even put a single file I have on it (or even in the folder "files to be burned to CD"?) who started the whole process.
    It is a CD - RW disc.  (at least it was first)
    In the past, I've just dragged & dropped and voila!
    What should I do?

    Hi Arek

    In my opinion, there are many reasons that may be responsible for this problem.

    One of them is a conflict with other software of CD burning, that is currently or was once installed on the system. These other recording programs registry changes is the normal cause and only for cleaning the registry after removing the software will solve the problem.

    You have some other burning software installed on your device?

  • DVD writer is recognized but cannot burn files

    I am working on a friends computer and had to do a restore point to fix another problem.  After the restore point, everything works except the DVD/CD burner.  I can install a blank DVD or CD and Windows recognizes it and says I need to format it.  I have format it and give it a name and he accepts it. I put this drive on another computer, and it displays the name, I gave and I can use the disc in another computer.  I put the disc into his computer and it shows the disc with the name I gave to him, but I can't copy all of the files for it.  It does not show the ability to burn files when I select the files and if I try to copy or drag them to the DVD writer, nothing happens.  Paste function is grayed out when I select the DVD burner.  I can read files off other disks.  I tried to uninstall the DVD/CD player and reinstall the driver.  I uninstalled the IDE controller and reinstalled the driver.  Nothing seems to fix this.  The computer is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3200t with a built-in DVD/CD burner model HL-DT-ST DVD - RW GSA-H60L.  It runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with Service Pack 2. This drive was working properly before using the Restore Point.  I have not found any similar to this problem in the help forums.  Help, please.  Thank you.

    Work Yes, but does not properly. Visit the forums to Evan and try the above methods
    as sometimes running across these kick will begin a CD/DVD to work properly. As I said
    a CD/DVD is 4 disks 1 and one or several parts can fail separately from the rest.

    Have you recently added any software CD/DVD? What antivirus/antispyware/securiy programs have
    NEVER been on the system - these and the remains of those installed since may cause strange problems.

  • DVD/CD burner burn only CD

    I have a CD/DVD/writer [Acer Slimtype DS8A5SH ATA] drive that will read DVDs and CDs.  It will also burn CD but NOT DVD.  I uninstalled the driver and not restarted - no change.  This has just occurred, why?  This parameter has been scrogged?  According to the website of the unit, I installed the most recent driver.  I want to solve it without resorting to the restoration of the system or similar that I know how to solve the problem even if it happens again.  Thank you!.

    Thanks for the response & helpful suggestions: I was working on the problem yesterday and determined that I could burn CDs and DVDs, BUT not by the program I was using.  A burn of a sample DVD Nero software has eliminated the question of whether the pilot or the CD/DVD drive is faulty.  I now work with a person of software support from the other program that I had trouble with to resolve the issue - either a matter of adjustment or a defective or damaged program download is my guess at this point.   Thank you for your thoughtful and helpful answer!  I appreciate it!

  • I want to accept only Arab characters in the input text

    Hello

    Is it possible to let the user just write in Arabic in the af input text?

    If he enter English tank when you use keyboard ENG that I want to prevent this event and not let him write without error msg and if it helps keyboard AR I want let write

    Thank you.

    You can implement something like this using javascript. You should prevent the addition of English characters of:

    -Keyboard

    -By using ctrl + v (in case you have copied English words)

    -Using right-click + spent (in the case where you have copied English words)

    To do this test to track the following:

    1 - inside af:inputText add 2 clientListener. One to accept only Arabic characters and the other for the deactivation of ctrl + v as:

    
              
              
    
    

    2 - Add af:resource with type = "javascript" and inside this write three functions:

    -an acceptArabic function.

    b disabledPastFunction

    c disabled right click on the page.

    as:

    
    
            = 1560 && k <= 1610) || k == 32)
        {

    If the Microsoft Fixit does not correct the problem by removing the upper and lower filter drivers, then the device is not so fully operational...

    It's aid. Now, you know that it must be repaired or replaced.

    To fix your DVD player, there is no silver bullet through the ethernet. Of course, if you want to be Mr. Fixit, just find out what laser is bad and replace it.
