• hard drive internal, now recognized as removable storage device?

  everything was fine until I updated my motherboard drivers. I have an Abit NF-M2SV (Nforce 405) and after the updated drivers (chipset, storage, etc.) and my second hard drive which is SATA, arose in the removable storage as if it were a memory stick. If I stop the device it tells me to unplug it now, but it is internal and the system is always on. Anyone know what may have caused this?
  Thank you

  chris1991,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  If this happens when you updated your motherboard drivers, then you need to contact the manufacturer of your motherboard to see if they have a fix for it.  In the meantime, you can try restoring your system to a point in time before you updated the drivers from the motherboard.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
  Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  Click Finish.
  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  If this does not work, you can try to roll back the motherboard drivers, but it's very risky, so you should back up your system first.

  Thank you

• My optical drive is not displayed in "Device Manager" the eject button does not work

  Latitude Dell with Windows 7

  My optical drive does not show in the "Device Manager", the eject button does not work - I can only eject through the pin hole.

  This means that the drivers are missing or that the disc is broken?

  I tried to restart.

  Thanks in advance

  Original title: Reader in mind windows 7

  Its possible the drive has failed. Is this an internal or an external drive? In both cases, make sure that all cables are properly connected and functional, including the power cables. If its a USB external drive then try another USB port.

  But, assuming that you tried to update the drivers (get the latest compatible drivers on the manufacturers for your brand/model/OS(32/64 bit) PC support site and install to see if that helps - first set a system restore point)) and then see if this MS article helps - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems?wa=wsignin1.0

• DVD players do not show up as removable devices in solution under my computer Explorer - they show that local hard drives

  DVD players in my machine do not appear in the removable devices section of the browser on the computer.  They are found under hard drives and he has not shown the removable devices section.

  Some of my applications cannot detect that there is a DVD drive attached to the system because of that.

  As a problem, the USB devices do not show as removable storage also.

  I tried to reinstall the devices for DVD players but no change to the situation.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The problem has persisted since I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro.

  Thank you
  Steve.

  Hi Steveci,

  There are a few things I would say.  Go to your computer manufacturer's website to get the latest version of the BIOS and drivers for the chipset of your machine.  Also, please see the following article some troubleshooting for the reader of CD/DVD is not recognized:

• [SOLVED] Optical drive empty missing in Windows Explorer, but not in the folder of the computer or Device Manager. Windows 7 x 64 HP Pavilion dv6-3032tx

  The problem: the optical drive [cd/dvd burner] icon is missing in Windows Explorer when no media inserted in the drive. Even if the optical drive icon in Windows Explorer when a disc is inserted in the drive.

  However, the optical drive appears in 'Device Manager' and in 'Computer' folder or no media is inserted in the reader as to the latter.  This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.  It is a Windows 7 problem [or character?], which seems to be set [or omitted] in Windows 8.

  Here are the step by step process to solve this problem:

  1. open Windows Explorer [click on "Start" and type "Windows Explorer" in the search box, then click on the first result to the Summit, which is "Windows Explorer"]
  2. in Windows Explorer, click on "Organize" (top left of the window).
  3. in the click from the drop-down list 'folder and search options '.
  4. at the bottom of the window that comes up, under the "Navigation" tick to choose 'show all files '.

  I need to do this every time I have to reinstall Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium on my HP Pavilion dv6-3032tx laptop.

  I hope this helps someone. Wellness wish all

• Internal optical drive does not not on the retina no MacBook Pro mid 2012

  So, I know there are a lot of discussions on this subject, but I can't find one for my problem. It is here,

  I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch mid-2012 not the retina. It has the Max 8 GB of RAM and i7 processor. The hard drive is 750 GB. The computer has also an internal optical drive. I can insert and eject the CD and DVD, but when I put in the player made a strong and unusual whirring or buzzing noise, not the normal silence and it becomes stronger and more quickly than the slower and quieter that the DVD or the CD will eject except it doesn't. This can continue indefinitely unless I have press and hold the eject button on the keyboard. The DVD is not scratched when I go out, and the player has worked only once on the last two times I tried to use it. Do I need to take it to the Apple Store to get something fixed or replaced or what? I don't want to do the fix at home so the fix can be done only in this way that I kid you not the computer. What is the best thing to do, and all the world knows about this problem?

• Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

  Hello

  I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  Thank you

• Error installation software device driver for removable devices in Windows Vista x 64

  I have Windows Vista x 64 installed on my PC and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphic cards.

  When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows starts the installation of the device driver software and then sees it as an unknown device. The dialog where he asks me if I want to 'locate and install driver software', 'Ask Me later' or 'don't show this message for this device.

  I select the recommended option: "locate and install driver software.

  I click 'Continue' when Windows asks me permission to continue.

  Then, when the execution of the installer of the software in the bottom right of my screen, the installation of driver software for device, it shows "unidentified device failed.

  Then another window pops up saying this:

  "Found New Hardware - device unknown".

  Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device

  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

  Kodak

  An error occurred during the installation of the device:

  The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for driver software. »

  That's what he does when I'm trying to connect my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.

  For example, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:

  "Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc...

  'Install the device driver software', 'USB Flash Drive search Windows Update'...

  Then a window opens asking me to "insert the disk that came with your USB key. Problem is that no driver disk not supplied with the hardware that Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because the camera and usb flash drive worked very well until I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (new installation, because my old hard drive crashed) and I've NEVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize it as a removable drive and operate automatically.

  Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the cdrom files needed for the specific subfolders for windows to let the program assign a drive letter for the drive virtual it creates.

  I think that perhaps not all device drivers have been installed when I installed Windows Vista, this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that could happen, nor how to fix it, but I really prefer to find a way to solve this problem without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind not manually install the drivers as long as someone can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disk that I bought at Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows HAS come with these drivers.

  If anyone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because it's ridiculous to not be able to use any removable device readers (except for the use of all Flash drives). Thanks in advance.

  I know it can be frustrating to solve problems.

  (B) the bios settings

  First of all you do not state if you tried to see if there was a setting in bios disabled USB ports during the startup. Or how the bios was set to install devices automatically. If you check your manual site or the motherboard manufacturer

  It will tell you which key to press. And where your USB ports are on or off. Some systems do not have to turn on or off.
