  • Can not see the external hard drive to my computer only in devices & Printers I tried many patches & need help please

    I do not see my external hard drive in my computer but I can't in my devices and printers.  I too see the drive in disk management.  There is a lot of data on my hard drive that I need to save.

  • Device Manager can't see the DVD ROM

    I have a HP Pavilion dv9628nr notebook PC, with the version of BIOS F.31, running with Vista SP2.

    He stopped recently to recognize the DVD ROM, which does not show even as a device in Device Manager, so I can't uninstall or update the drivers.

    In the BIOS it is listed as a boot device, so it's there somewhere.

    I tried the Fix Windows, what has not worked as well as regedit to delete the LowerFilters registry entry (there was no UpperFilters one listed), but none of this has given me my DVD DRIVE in Device Manager.

    I wanted to try to disable AHCI mode for the drive controller in THE system BIOS, but it is not an Advanced tab available to get to this. And I don't know if this will solve the problem anyway.

    Suggestions appreciated. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

    Hello

    First, reset the defaults in the bios as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap here to f10 as soon as you start Notepad to open the menu of the bios.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Check if the drive now appears in Device Manager - if it doesn't, try the following.

    Even if the optical drive is listed under bootable devices, it can still have a hardware problem

    An option here, you could try this will give a good indication that the problem is with Windows or the optical drive itself.

    Create a bootable Ubuntu CD

    The Ubuntu CD that you create should work as you start the laptop (IE outside of the Windows operating system), so if this works do not, the problem is almost certainly a hardware with the DVD player problem

    On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps described in the part 3 to 'Try' to see if this OS runs from CD.  The 'try' option does not need to install on the hard disk, it just runs from the CD.

    Let me know if it will work.

  • Windows does not display the CD-ROM drive

    A week ago, my computer stopped showing me an icon for my DVD player. When I go into the Device Manager there is no option for CD/DVD players. I tried Microsoft Fix It, and he told me that there is no CD drive. I can not re - install a driver because the Device Manager does not display the CD players.

    I did not major changes to my computer I know so I can't imagine what the problem is. Help?

    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.

  • Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

    I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
    I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
    Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
    I'm missing something?

    Thanks in advance

    Neil

    It should work!

    The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

    3 things you can do:
    At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
    If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

    If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

    If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

  • When a right click to create a new folder, I can't see the new option 'file' in the menu. Why?

    I'm running Win 7 Ultimate and it happened on my system for the first time: when a right click to create a new folder, I can not see new option 'file' in the menu.
    I remember that I did not create new records from the last 5 days, so I can't say when the problem came. But I remember that yesterday I uninstalled 'free. '
    antivirus application which disappointed me a little. And it was the only action I suspect to have effect on my system.
    So I can't create folders in the usual way. And I need help to solve the problem. Moreover, the cmd command line works and when I type:
    MD x:\AA,

  • PC needs to be fixed: File:\windows\system32\winload.exe error code: Oxc000000I

    Upgrading to windows 7 8. PC worked fine for 3 months. The last time I turned on the computer would not start.

    After several attempts to "Prepare the automatic repair" screen appeared but never advanced.  The screen with the windows box 4 logo
    with circle of points running just above to prepare the automatic repair, waited for several hours but never changed.
    {1}-j' inserted my disk to repair Windows 8 {(set Bios pour démarrer sur le DVD).}  Note in this step, that I IS NOT select Boot from cd\dvd.
    That's when the error message appears: pc needs to be fixed: File:\windows\system32\winload.exe error code: Oxc000000I
    and you will need to use recovery tools.
    Three options are given: 1. Enter to try agai, 2; F8 for boot options, 2: F9 to use different operating system.
    Enter in any of the three choices just recycled the screen containing the same information.
    {2} - Windows 8 repair disk inserted. This time, I SELECTED Boot from DVD
    PC starts loading the cd [dvd, 4 windows box logo appears on the screen
    Bed cd\dvd for about 3-4 minutes.  Circle of rotation points appear on the screen below the logo box 4.
    at this point the drive HARD blinking led, system in this State remains. I never get to see service options. I waited for hours at a time.
    Produce the same results as step 2 above when I try to use the windows 8 installation disc.
    I'd appreciate any help as to how I can get to the repair, the troubleshhot or advanced options which are supposd to be available.

    Tony Hey,

    Regrettable that the problem exists.

    Seems like a problem in the BIOS settings, it would be good to check with the manufacturer of the PC.

    They might have more insight on this.
