my hard drive has just stopped working

I went to burn pictures on a dvd and got a message saying that I don't have a car to get there. I have a hard drive and used recently. When I go to itunes and try to play a cd, the same thing. When I ran a diagnosis in itunes check, he didn't even see that there is the disk drive. It seems that the computer does not know that the drive is gone. It is a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista.

See this response by SpiritX. It is also on the list below in the related discussions.

  • My DVD/CD drive has suddenly stopped working under Windows 7

    Ive been using Windows 7 for about 6 months now with on any trouble until recently my DVD drive has suddenly stopped working. Windows detects the drive but when I double click on it in my computer it says please insert disc. I find the drive in Device Manager and windows recognises that there is an error that says:

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Manager device and rebooted the computer to let auto windows find the driver and reinstall it but to start, I get a message that says:

    Device not installed driver software

    I know that the drive is fine because it works fine in Ubuntu Linux system he worked great in windows 7, so stopped. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Go to the Web site of the factory, download the driver appropriate for your device. Uninstall the driver that is currently installed and uninstall the device in Device Manager. Reboot... After you restart, you have 1 of 2 options depending on how the software is packed from the manufacturing. (A) put an end to the automatic Windows installation feature and use the downloaded software to take care of it for you... If that's how it is set up to operate or (b) wait for windows to auto-trouvez and try to install the device, and when he asked the pilots to open and extract files downloaded to any location you choose and point the installer of windows in this direction.

  • SDI Sub Out 3 has just stopped working

    My SDI 3 sub was working fine all day just like it should. This afternoon the camera wizard lets me know that they were not getting a picture. I tested the cable on a different signal and it works fine. The monitor works great too as I tested it on a different signal as well. None of the settings in the menu has changed. I don't see anyway that parameters outside the camera would kill the video of sup 3. Very very strange... ideas anyone?

  • New Tab feature has just stopped working. New window works. Any ideas?

    I use Firefox about 3 years with no problems. As of today, the function to open a new tab does not work, and I can't find a place where it is controlled by the user. I can always open a new window, and everything seems to work normally, but cannot start a new tab. A new tab appears when I open a link elsewhere, but does not open in response to a manual request.

    Try disabling the extension of the Ask toolbar.

    MacBook pro work leave because of pulled and broken wire.  I took out the hard drive.  the hard drive has all my files that I wouldn't need to clear all of the other personal files?

    It does not start to the top, screen and hardware ok except belt disconnected.

    also can I sell adapter, brand new, never used. where can I sell?

    Hi Wally, the hard disk OS X and all of your files. Get a case for your reader, and it backs up. Try OWC

    Always keep your Mac backed up on an external drive with Time Machine or utility of cloning like SuperDuperor double clone.

    Try eBay for the adapter.

  • My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It has worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy

    My hard drive has been corrupted and I had to format and reload windows 7. It worked OK for 6 weeks, but now says it is a counterfeit copy. I used the original product key, when I rebooted it. Ideas?

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.
