my pc does not recognize the cd drive. I tried restoring the system without success.

Windows does not recognize the cd drive

Hello

Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.

Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART 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 coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

===============================

Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
do it right.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
the correct registry entries for your car.

Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

CD/DVD units
http://www.myce.com/storage/

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

I hope this helps.

  • Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

    I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

    Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

    The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

    I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

    Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

    This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager does not recognize the device without administrator privileges

    Hello. My "BOLD" BB works fine at home with 4.6 DM. However, at work DM detects that the device is plugged when I get with administrative privileges (Windows XP Pro, SP2). When I am denied the additional privileges DM cannot detect the BB.

    DM has been intalled under administrator privileges, but I'm not allowed with this privilege permanently.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that when DM has been installed, it has not been installed "for all users".  Maybe uninstall and when it is reinstalled, make sure that the option "for all users" is checked (insteald "only for this user").

    I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

    What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

    Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

    I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

  • Portege Z930-118 does not recognize the external USB CD/DVD drive

    My new Z930-118, with windows 7 64 bit home, does not recognize the external CD/DVD drive when I plug it into the USB port.

    The CD/DVD device does not even appear at all in Device Manager.

    The reader is a SE-S084 Samsun and works well on another laptop.

    I already checked for the "upper_filter", "lower_filter" with the regedit, but entries are not there, so no help.

    Hello
    I m not very well how to help you.

    I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

    I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

    From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
    I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.

  • Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

    I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

    I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
    Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

    Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

    THX

    Hello

    Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

    I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
    The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

    Good luck

  • Tecra M1 does not recognize the DVD drive after replacement

    I am trying to install a new drive CD-RW/DVD-RW on a Tecra M1; However, when the computer does not recognize the drive.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Thank you

    Colin

    For me it s case.
    I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new player properly because of the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings
    Readers slim for computers laptops support setting master/slave/c-salt settings and these settings can only be changed by changing the rider as on desktop drives.
    So it is very important that you purchase a compatible player and supported because disks with incorrect settings will not work.

    Before buying a car, you should ask the service provider to Toshiba for a caught player supported and compatible

  • Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

    I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

    My laptop is a Qosmio F60

    This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
    According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

    Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
    What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

    Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

    Hello

    Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
    I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

    The same USB works without problem on other computers with vista!

    Someone knows what to do?

    Hello

    First of all, you must disconnect all USB devices and must remove the USB ports and controllers in the Device Manager.
    After this procedure, you must restart the laptop. After a new restart the Vista operating system should recognize the USB ports and should reinstall USB drivers again.

    Then you must update the Vista to the State! All fixes and patches must be installed. Please note that you will have to visit the MS Update site for all patches

    Notes; MS has released a beta of Vista SP1. I installed it on my laptop and it has solved several problems.

    However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

    The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.

    As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

    You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

    However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.
