• WINDOWS does not recognize my cd/dvd drive

  Windows stopped to recognize my cd/dvd drive. I can not read or write discs. I tried the Microsoft Mr.FixIt and it keeps saying "an unexpected error has occurred please try again later." I don't know what else to do. I've tried everything. The player is not yet in Control Panel under devices. And I don't know wut luk in the BIOS.

  Hello

  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.

  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.

  I hope this helps and happy holidays!

  Hello mike salinas.

  1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

  2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

  I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

  Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

  You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

  Thank you

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

  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.

• Windows does not recognize my new CD drive

  My CD player door has always had a problem opening, but when he finally refused to open, I tried the old trick of poking a paperclip on the paper clip in the small hole on the front panel, but that no longer works.  So I bought a new and well followed all the installation instructions, including resetting the little rider on the back at the same position as that. The door is now nice and smooth, but it will not play any CD.  Even the E: drive icon is missing from the office.  I went into Device Manager and it was not there. I tried to install it using new hardware found, but that has not worked.  I would like to do a clean install on Windows, but I can't do that because I can't run the installation CD. Mr. Windows Fix is no help either.

  Daniel Shouse

  The description of the configuration of the jumpers you gave is not very useful. On the back or on top of the readers is a diagram showing the configuration of rider. Given that both drives are on the same cable, you must do one of two things. Set to CS (Cable Select) or set the jumper on a single drive master and one slave. This will require you to remove the two discs of the computer. When you go inside a computer there are things you need to do. First of all, make sure that you do not work in a field that is of the carpet. Then unplug the power source. Then, press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Once you remove the side panel inside the computer and in contact with the power supply or the computer chassis. These are very important steps to ensure your safety and that of your computer.
