  Try to burn a CD. The system will not recognize the blank disc or let me burn... says there is no disc inserted

  Hello

  Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc? Restart the 1st and then try it.

  If no joy:

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  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.

• Windows does not recognize a blank disc in the DVD player.

  When you try to burn a CD and have a blank CD - R into the DVD player, I get 'Windows cannot read the disk in drive D ". I tried other discs and DVD, but it seems that Windows does not recognize a blank disc. I have another DVD drive and the same is true here as well.  I tried to update the drivers and deactivation and reactivation of readers but nothing is done. However, CDs or DVDs with the content are recognized.

  I had the same problem on Windows 7 32-bit (suspect this fix as well under Vista). After trying everything under the Sun entered Services (search for programs and files, type 'Services') and looked "Shell Hardware Detection. Found that it was disabled (not sure how he got that way). Right-click on it to get the properties. Change startup type to "Automatic", press apply then OK. Problem solved without even having to restart!

  ===============================

  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.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• Windows 7 does not recognize the installation discs

  Hello

  I have a problem, and I don't know if there is a solution, but here goes.

  My laptop is a HP DV6-7029WM Windows 7, 64 bit.

  The hard drive was dead, and he was replaced last month.  I sent it to HP.  C is the hard drive, and was originally the recovery on D. Removable media were on E, and when I connected a USB stick or memory card reader it would on F.

  When I came back, hard drive was on C as it was originally, and there was no recovery drive D. D is now my removable media drive. When I put in a USB stick or a memory card reader, which is now on the E drive.

  After I bought this, I put the recovery on a USB key, but I've accidentally thrown out. (My mistake) So I ordered the installation diskettes after that I return my HP PC.  I had 2 DVD system recovery disks and an Application and a recovery DVD Drivery.

  I want to reinstall Windows back to the default settings. I put disc 1 (System Recovery DVD) and close.  I reboot and it goes directly to the office. I hear the whirring disc, but nothing happens.

  I go to the control panel > Recovery > advanced retrieval methods. I click on restart, and it loads files and then says DVD set, which I do. He told me that he does not recognize the installation disc.

  I googled this problem and found a poster on CNET that had the same problem as I do. Also, I can't do a system restore.  My problem is the same as this poster on CNET.  I can read DVDs and CDs.  Those that work very well.

  http://forums.CNET.com/7723-19411_102-568059/Windows-7-installation-disc-not-recognized/

  The files are on the DVD, because I see them.

  I don't know what to do. Should I send my PC back? Can I do to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello:

• CD/DVD does not recognize the disks and will not be closed

  original title: problem with tray D

  I use a unit of reconditiioned Dell 8300 with XP Professional system.  The unit was slow and gel a bit so, in one of the slow itls break cycles I insereted in the toolbar an old XP disc I had to front to see if that would help and after I closed the tray I noise loud crash and the tray came out showing broked pieces of the disc. I flipped the unit and hit the bottom and more pieces of the disc came out.  Now the set is not closed.  If I insert a workable disc and maintain status bar tap it will not do anything and a window tells me to insert a disc. Shou ld I try to disassemble the unti to see if there's still some piece or pieces preventing reset the tray? Or is it to say that I'm going to my repairman authorized Microsoft for the rerpair?  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  I'm really sorry to laugh, but this is a funniest post I've ever seen. Apparently you've damaged the device rom (cd/dvd drive) replace it with a new one. They measure less $ $30 .00usd. Furthermore, placing the old drive in the drive xp will not improve the performance of the computer. Looks like you have some malware.

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 do not recognize the optical disc drive

  I have a satellite A210 - 1 4 who recognize the strange.
  The drive has power and running disks but does not appear as a drive in MY COMPUTER.

  It is also not recognized in the Bios.
  I updated the Bios and tried to install the firmware but the message that the drive is not found.

  I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  If anyone has had similar problems, and is there a solution?

  Thank you very much

  > I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  You have tested optical drive in another computer?
  In any case, if the STRANGE is not recognized in the BIOS I'm afraid controller ODD m is defective. It comes to the motherboard so there is not some sort of easy solution.
  I don't think you can do much except to swap the motherboard.

• My computer won't let me not reinstall windows because he thinks that it is 32-bit and does not recognize the installation discs. Help please?

  My computer has not worked since I stopped him during an automatic update. Which I have been kicking myself since then, but the last time that he updated, he beat the computer and I panicked.

  Anyway, it won't run certain programs, including iTunes and a large part of MS Office, and no matter how many times I try to reinstall, they still do not work, saying: "side by side configuration is incorrect."

  What I want is to restore it to factory settings - all my data is secured and sustained upward. But when I put in my recovery disks (and they are the highest boot priority in the BIOS) the system takes care of the hard drive as usual. When I remove the ability to boot from the hard drive, my system no reserves at all, telling me to restart or insert a suitable disc. And when I boot from the disk and try to run it manually, by clicking ETFSBOOT, it tells me that "the version of this file is not this version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or an x 64 (64-bit) version of the program. »

  I have double and triple checked this - my system is 64-bit. My records are 64-bit. As far as I know, the computer got garbled during the automatic update and now part of it think it's 32-bit (some programs are divided into sections 32-bit and 64-bit). All I want to do is to reinstall windows, but I don't know what to do because it does not recognize my discs! Any suggestions, internet?

  Thank you very much.

  In addition, if it is relevant, I'm Windows Vista on an ASUS K50IJ laptop. I do not have the windows install disc because the computer was shipped with windows installed, but I have the recovery disc ASUS (which have been used to restore my computer in the past).

  Hello

  Since you are unable to open programs like iTunes or Office, you can try to perform the system restore and check if it helps.

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

• creating Windows dvd does not recognize the music in my itunes library

  I'm trying to finialize the title page for a slide show I did in windows movie maker, which includes several songs from my itunes library, but it will not be recognized all my itunes files. It allows me to choose the sample songs in the music folder however. any suggestions on how to add my music?

  Windows, be it the media player, movie maker and DVD maker, do not accept MP4 file formats.
  Windows do not accept Apple file formats, be it video or audio files.

  Here is the list of formats of audio files supported by Windows:

  • Audio files: ".aif", ".aifc", ".aiff", ".asf", ".au", ".mp2", ".mp3", ".mpa", ".snd", ".wav" and ".wma".

  Your itunes MP3 Google for an audio converter and change file formats. Then re - import to Movie Maker.

  PS You can bypass Windows Movie Maker... as the title of your message create dvd windows says.
  Use Windows DVD Maker and add your items directly in the creation of DVD.
  You will still need to convert the audio files to itunes.
