  My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

  When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

  A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.

• Laptop does not recognize blank CD/DVDs

  Hello

  I just bought a Dell Precision M2800 (early 2014).

  I can read DVDs and CDs normally but I when I put a CD or blank DVD to burn it, it does not recognize it and says 'Please insert a disc into the DVD drive. I tried many solutions of this forum, but none of them worked for me. I tried burning CDs and DVDs even in other laptops and they have worked perfectly.

  Please tell me what I can do.

  As you have already understood, you have a CD-ROM drive (read-only) and is unable to burn discs. You do not have the option to replace this drive with a DVD - RW drive that will burn the discs.

• Windows 7 does not recognize or play DVDs in the player

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C655D under Windows 7 Home Premium.  A few months ago, I noticed that some DVD would not play on my DVD player, but others.  At first I thought it was just the DVD that I was getting their local library and the other that I got from Redbox worked.  Now no DVD does not work.  When I go to Windows Explorer with the installed dvd it shows nothing.  If I right click on properties it wants me to install a CD and open the drawer.  I checked Device Manager and reinstalled the driver software, nothing helps.  Windows Media Center does not show a DVD or the other.  The computer will recognize the CD and it will play videos from a cd in other formats, who told me that the laser works very well for the DVD player.  I downloaded VLC, which is supposed to provide necessary codecs for most all files.  I am at my witts on that end and would appreciate any help.  Thank you

• My C50D-A-138 Satellite play DVD

  My laptop Toshiba C50D-A-138 play DVD. I have my laptop in May and for the first days I would let me play DVDs but since then it will not play them, it's just noise wurring as if he's trying to open but it used. I tried to download VLC and various media players to see if it would help, but it's not.

  My laptop will play CD and computer games when I put the disc in but when it comes to DVD, they usually open and I don't get a notification to say that there is a disc in. When I enter my PC folder and look at the D drive and it shows the name of the DVD, but when I click it opens in a folder showing a folder of video content and sound (something like that) and if I right click on disc he D when there is a DVD in and click on "open autoplay". , he wurr of for a few seconds then stops and noting happens.

  I hope someone can help.

  You try to play original DVD or just some kind of course copied movies?

  > When I go into my PC folder and look at the D drive and it shows the name of the DVD, but when I click it opens in a folder showing a folder of video content and sound (something like that)

  This means that the ODD (optical disc) can read the disc (DVD) because the content of the DVD is available.
  The question is: why the software is unable to read the game, the contents of the disc.

  There are a few possible reasons for this:

  (1) the disc isn t out to countries in the region that is defined in the parameters of the STRANGE. The settings can be found: (right click on region D drive properties Hardware tab properties button DVD DVD/CD). In my case the DVD region has been set to region 2. In this case, I can play DVD disc released for region 2.
  _Note: _ this settings can be changed only 4 times. Then it will not be possible to switch to another area code.

  (2) the software you are using is unable to read the contents of the disc. But VLC player is one of the best players available on the market (free) and it should be possible to play almost all drives using this software. However, the preinstalled DVD Toshiba playback software should also read the original DVD discs.

  (3) another reason why the STRANGE can not read the disc correctly, is the dirty laser lens. In this case, it will take to clean the lens of the laser using a fluid tip and alcohol of wadding.

• Re: Satellite 1900-303 won't play DVD

  * Hi all, *.

  I have a Satellite S1900-303 which suddenly stopped playing DVDs.

  * Operating system *: XP Pro SP3
  * RAM: * 1 GB
  * HARD DRIVE: * 320 GB
  * DVD Rom: * Standard Toshiba SD-R2212
  * Chart: * Standard ATI Mobility Radeon
  * Software *: WinDVD 8 Platinum

  The DVD - ROM drive will recognize and play / install from a CD but not a DVD.

  I did all the usual checks:

  The device driver is up to date,
  Device Manager"indicates that the DVD - ROM drive works correctly.
  Tried to play a DVD through Windows Media Player, but the CD & DVD options are 'greyed out '.

  Everyone has a similar problem, and if so, is there a solution to this problem?

  Hey mate,

  How did you check if the device driver is up to date? There is no update driver for all CD/DVD players

  Normally, if CD works fine but no DVD, it appears to be a malfunction of the equipment. Before Exchange you it, try to clean the lens using a microfibre cloth.
  In addition, you need to test if you can boot from a bootable DVD to check if it s a software issue or not.

  As I wrote already in the worst case you need a new drive :(
