Optical drive not found. Check the connection of the disk.

CD/DVD drive has suddenly stopped working.  I noticed when I tried to eject a CD of music. Convenience store initiated and clicked on CD/DVD playback. Read the message of the convenience store: "Windows did not detect an optical disc drive. It can be disconnected or disconnected. Check the connection of the drive, or connect the player. "All connections seem to be good. I tried to restart. Troubleshooting repeated with the same result. Device Manager displays a missing optical drive. Please notify.

Model: EL1352G
Processor: AMD Athlon II X 2 220 processor 2.80 GHz

This looks like a probable hardware failure.  See if the drive is seen in the BIOS.  If this is not the case, replace.

  • Disk drive not found in the Satellite P845T-102 (Code 19)

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite P845T-102 and the disk drive is not recognized by Windows (Windows 8). Does not appear in my computer, has no light and will not eject.

    The drive is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-U633J.

    This is the first time I tried to use it so I don't know if it was never acknowledged, or if a windows update caused a problem.

    Troubleshooting it says my driver is up to date, and Manager of devices displays the following message is displayed:

    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    I have tried to uninstall the device in Device Manager and rebooting without success and have also tried to download the driver on the Toshiba site.

    I would appreciate any advice to help solve this problem.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing when you plug your tablet with Windows 7 system. I will definitely help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    2. What is the exact error message you get, when you say, "Driver not found"?
    3. Connecting the Tablet via a Wi - Fi hotspot connection when you mention, "tethering problem? If this is not the case, how you try to connect the Tablet?
    4. What is the brand and model number. the Tablet?

    The question seems to be resulting in an incompatible or damaged driver that obstructs the connection. First, I suggest you to check if you are able to connect the Tablet via a USB cable.

    In addition, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the number is reproduced.

    Method 1:

    Run the network troubleshooter to verify connection of the Tablet problems.

    Manually install the Windows 7 compatible driver from the manufacturer's Web site.

  • Hard drive not found error

    Hey everybody,

    My HP Pavilion G6 - 1164sa is coming up with an error "Hard drive not found" at the start up. It also makes a clicking sound. have you tried another hard drive to an old laptop in its place and the works, but because it is not the correct drivers installed for this model most things do not work. Need a solution to this? can I order a new hard drive for hp with all the drivers installed?

    Your drivers are posted on your support page > HERE

    You can order a hard drive at HP, but it will be a hard drive Virgin, as well as a new hdd retail except at much higher prices. I would like to replace the hard drive with a > hdd retail.

    If you plan to use recovery disks to reinstall Windows & software/drivers have one that is at least as large a capacity than the original, may be larger, but not smaller. If you have not written a set of recovery discs, you can usually order from HP for a small fee.

    If you can read the Windows 25-character license key attached to the bottom of the laptop there is possibility to download an ISO file, burn it to DVD and install Windows. Then you need to download your drivers on the support site. (Any size hard disk could be used with this option)

    Today, I tried to restart my laptop and all of a sudden, they won't let me restart. It keep telling me that I can't or my hard drive is too small. and I tried all the option, even tried to restore my c: drive, but then he told me that I have to choose: full system restore:.

    However, full system restore wasn't in one of my options and after that I dropped to restart the laptop want to just start over my windows, but then I can't do more because in the Windows error recovery just an option that is recovery tools, it doesn't have the choice as boot the system normally.

    So now I can't enter to windows or restart my computer, how do I get into my windows again? Help, please. :(

    Hello


    1. What is the exact error message you get?

    Method 1:
    I suggest you try the steps from the following link

    Windows Vista or Windows 7 unbootable, and the Startup Repair tool does not resolve the problem
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/934540

    Method 2: go to the BIOS (Basic Input Output system) Setup, & change the switch setting between AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) and IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) and the drive controller is restarted. If it solves your problem, the driver for the HARD disk (HDD) is corrupted.

    IMPORTANT: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 3: Your hard drive is damaged to the point that it cannot even recognize that Vista has been installed on it. If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you can try running chkdsk to fix the HARD disk; you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc.

    a. Insert the installation disc and restart your computer.
    b. click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see check the link for the BIOS: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt
    h. type chkdsk /f / r and press ENTER.

    Important:
    when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

    This will perform a disk check and perhaps recover the system. CHKDSK can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, reticulate files and directory errors

     

    Method 4: I suggest you run /ScanOs, /FixBoot commands from following link:
