Need dvd rom to install, computer will not recognize dvd rom.

I'm doing a clean install of windows 7 on my laptop. The old onehard drive is totally dead so im from new. Once I have spend assigning U.S. and English at all, it says that I need to install a driver for the DVD burner in order to move forward. It will not find the driver, or make a list of your choice. Can I use a dvd - rom external USB? It will be same which recognizes? Don't want to lose $50 for nothing.

Yes, it should work, you will need to set it up in the BIOS so.

Another option is to create a bootable USB key with the installation files.

  • Computer will not recognize Pro Duo or removable drives.

    Computer Vista will not read my Pro Duo chip, or it will show all removable drives except ROM USB where I have an optical mouse wirelesss connected (when I check my computer).  The import wizard shows only a USB where prior that he showed, f, g, h, etc.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for these two answers, unfortunately the first did not work, and the second deals with USB.  The computer will not recognize any location chip memory, they do not appear on the Import Wizard, or MY computer.  The only two drives that appear are drive C and drive J, which is where I have a wireless mouse hooked up.   Just before this problem I had... and still not... a bottom of screen message "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned... Click this message for more information."  The only connected usb is the mouse, and it works fine.  Solutions that deal with USB issues aren't really questions I have, except that in the future (if the problem remains) USB ports do not appear on my computer either.  Someone who has some said knowledgge I need to re - map the hard drive, or something?

    I really appreciate the time you people consume with it.  Any other ideas?

    Ran the Scan, the system is secure.

    I was able to bypass stubborn files to transfer them to a flash drive and copy them to another folder.  I was then able to access.  Somehow I messed up the permissions in the previous transfers of old machines and OS.

  • Computer will not recognize Canon Powershot SX30 IS camera

    I just upgraded to a new computer. Operating system is Windows 7.  It does not recognize my camera. I tried I go through start to computer (not found).  Cannot find under Device Manager either. Nothing. I guess I need a new driver downloaded, but when I go to the Canon Website, it tells me that no driver is needed for Windows 7.

    I'm not an expert in computer science (and not by a long shot). I tried 2 different USB cables, the two nothing helps. I also found a previous thread for the Canon Rebel camera, but the menus on both cameras are different, is not applicable for my camera. Everyone is the same experience? Any suggestions? I can put the card directly qinto the computer, but it does not work underground with the photos in the same way - thus suggesting a card reader is not really solve my problem.
    I have already installed the installation CD and everything seems to have loaded correctly. However, as soon asI connect the camera to the USB port - nothing happens. It worked fine (literally just a fe minutes before on the old Windows XP system (it worked flawlessly in fact).) Not sure what the glitch is on it.  Anyone?

  • computer will not recognize new helmet

    Hello

    1. how you connect the head phone to the computer?

    2 have you tried to use the same phone head on another computer and check?

    Method 1.

    This occurs when you have external speakers, by default. We need to put the headset as default.
    Perform the task mentioned to set the headphones as default:
    a. Click Start, and click Control Panel.
    b. click sound, and then a new window will open.
    (c) in the new window click on the tab 'Read' and right-click in the window and click Show disabled devices.
    d. check if headphones are listed and then right-click on it and choose activate.
    e. Select this headset, and then click "Set as default".

    Method 2:

    Check with the volume settings and if it helps:
    (a) right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, then select volume control options.
    (b) check on "all devices evolving sound.
    (c) make sure that you have "Default uncontrolled communication device".
    (d) place a check on the speakers and headphones.

    Method 3.

    a. right click your sound icon.
    b. click playback devices.
    c. right-click on the reading tab.
    d. click Show disabled devices.
    e. right click on the playback tab.
    f. click Show disconnected devices.

    Method 4.

    check your connection. The most likely source of a complete cessation of the features is loose or unplugged connection. Make sure that the USB cable is correctly plugged into the USB port on your computer and do not move when shaken slightly.

    b make sure that the headset is selected as audio device by default. When a device is listed as a default value, it automatically will be used, even when the other output (such as speakers or a secondary microphone) devices exist. To make your audio/line-in helmet device by default in Windows XP, go to (accessible via the menu 'Start') Control Panel then click on the link "Sounds and Audio devices" and click the tab "Audio". Then under the headings "Audio playback" and "Voice recording", select your headset in the drop-down list. Then the same things in the "Audio" tab click the 'OK' button to save the changes.

    c check the status of the driver. Device drivers are small pieces of software that facilitate communication between computers. To check your device drivers, go to the Control Panel, select 'System' then go to the 'Material' on 'Device Manager' tab and go to the section of sound, video and game controllers. Click on the yellow arrow to show installed audio and audio devices. If you see your device listed, your drivers are up to date. If your device is not listed, or it has a yellow exclamation mark next to it, you need to reinstall or update your drivers. See Manual of the owner of your headset for more information about how to install the drivers for your specific model.

    I hope this helps.

  • computer will not recognize the installation startup disk upward

    Ive already installed my cd/dvd drive as my first boot in the BIOS. However, I have never enter the setup and go straight to start windows again (I am trying to reinstall windows 7). any advice?

    Go into the BIOS to start the computer and change the setting from IDE to AHCI.  This allows Windows 7 to recognize the SATA CD or DVD ROM drive you dΘmarrez since and it should install.

    This probably won't work if your CD/DVD-ROM is not a SATA drive.

  • Computer will not recognize new keyboard, KU-0841 in Vista

    The other day, I bought a new key board and I'll have a lot of problems when trying to use it.
    First of all I can't download his material, which means I can't even recognize the keyboard of the computer. I've tried everything I can think of, but I still can't get it to work. This model KU-0841. If anyone can offer advice on how to get this keyboard to work, I would really appriciate it. : D

    My new keyboard is having some major issues regarding the material and use

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should you do to the keyboard at least and all others you have time to do - they help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. Make sure driver debice arises and is functioaing properly.

    Are you sure that the keyboard is compatibble with your version of Vista? http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

    The old stilll keyboard works fine on the computer?  Have you tried the new keyboard on another computer to see if it works there?

    Who is the manufacturer of the keyboard?  Does it come with the firmware or software tha must also be installed?

    Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and have the system search and install a new hardware it finds.  It can find and install your keyboard.

  • Computer will not recognize an external microphone

    Thank you.  Yes, it's a 5547.  Then I will try to download the driver from Realtek.  Also, I had no idea there were microphones with different numbers of segments.  Wow!

  • Computer will not recognize a second connection of GPIB

    I have two connections to a Tektronix Oscilloscope to TDS210 GPIB and generator features a synthesized Stanford Research Systems. The Oscilloscope is recognized in the measurement and Automation Explorer as GPIB0::1:INSTR, but the device is not recognized as a second instrument. The GPIB card and cables are both OR. I ran through tutorials and troubleshooting on the site OR with no luck. This laboratory has been successfully run a year ago, but between yesterday and today the College cleaned all the computers in the lab. I've updated to LabView 2009 new MAX and new VISAs and drivers for the card GPIB and instruments. It's strange that the system would recognize an instrument but not the other. Any advice or tips? Am I missing something huge?

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Nicole

    Have you checked that the two instruments are to different addresses? Have you checked that the function generator is configured for GPIB communications? Some instruments can communicate on a bus type more, but sometimes only one can be active. Have you checked if she acknowledged if it is the only one connected? Have you tried swapping cables? Have you tried to change that it is connected to the controller first in the chain?
