Reinstall the cd/dvd driver

I did a clean install on my computer in January, but she deleted my drivers. I still need to install my cd/dvd driver. How can I go about it? I tried Mr. Fix, but failed. Thanks :)

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

See you soon.

  • Cannot get the cd/dvd driver for CD playback

    Hiya

    Earlier this year, my laptop has been infected by viruses, malware, etc. I used the program Spyware Doctor to remove any infections, but so many files and programs are removed.

    On the Device Manager CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver TSSTcorp DVD +-RW TS - L632H ATA Device ended up having a typical yellow mark next to it and the cd player would not read cds or dvds. Somehow however his custom 'fixed' itself, but always play all discs.

    Light to the factory side, it opens and closes, and when a cd is put in it sounds as if its going to do something, but after a few seconds only stops and don't open the program or recognize the drive. I read through many responses of forum and things like delete upper and lower filters do not work as they are already not.

    Advice or answers will be very appreciated!

  • have a lenovo G570 computer and recently lost the cd/dvd drive. What can I do to reinstall?

    The cd/dvd drive used to work properly. Now when I put a cd or dvd, it will not engage or start. I can hear him enter and try to start.
    When you click on my computer, the drive does not appear.
    Don't know how it disappeared. Could be that some Windows Update? or when I installed the new kaspersky (do not think that it was really a cause)
    Not a Moody person so don't know what else to do. I did go back and do a restore, but that did not help.
    Given that the drive does not work I can not use the original disk, I created when I got the computer. Computer is about 2 years old... maybe a little less.

    Oh, the only other possible cause I can think of is when I was wrong with my browser and load my att yahoo account. A representative of ATT spocked in my computer and worked behind the scenes to fix. Has they deleted my firefox and temporary files. Unfortunately I do not know exactly when I lost the cd/dvd drive. At this time, but I can't say for sure.

    Let me know if there is something other information that you may need to help solve the problem. Thank you!

    Try to scan your computer with RadarSync to find out if your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver is out of date or not. You can go for the free version. Once find you that it's really an outdated driver can cause the problem, then you can update the driver by searching in Google it or let the software do it for you.

    I hope this helps!

  • Satellite M30x + Win7: DVD not detected by the CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I use a M30x since 2004 with its CD/DVD drive * a S mat. DVD-RAM UJ-831
    When I was with Windows XP, I have never had problems to read or write on CD, CD - R, DVD, DVD - R or DVD - RW. But recently I installed windows seven, and since that day the drive won't recognize the DVD. I can still read and burn CDs and CD - R. I'm burning the same Virgin DVD-+ R/RW as before, but the drive won't detect them. Those I have already burn are not detected or the other.
    My computer says that the CD/DVD drive work properly and drivers are up to date.
    I tried to clean the lens, but nothing has changed. And I tried to reinstall the drivers, but I could not found for windows seven.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Pavilion dv7 cannot recognize the CD/DVD drive, no help support "assistant".

    Subject says it all.  Since I got this machine, it had problems when the CD/DVD drive becomes invisible and are not accessible by any means.  A reboot has solved in the past, but now, it doesn't seem to work more.  I would like to reinstall the drivers, but guess what, I don't know what kind of player, it is (funny how that works), and Support 'Assistant' is apparently ihcapable to understand the model of this Pavilion dv7 ("product name: loading...") ("now until the heat death of the universe), which does not help either.  Anyone has a better idea than just blindly install the drivers?

    Hello

    Drivers for CD/DVD drives comes with Windows (IE with the operating system - it is not the drivers you need to download).  The driver is located in C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys.

    First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

    Windows 7

    Vista

    Check if the drive works now.

    If the drive does not, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Right-click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also, if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall it, once again is not removing the drivers if requested. Then, open the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives.  Make a right click the drive (if it shows!) and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.

    Restart the computer and let Windows reinstall devices.  Check the disc again.

    If it still does not work, re-run the fixit automated Microsoft at the link below.

    Windows 7

    Vista

    Then, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    It is listed in the Device Manager, but with a yellow explanation mark.
    No mention of this in my computer.
    No icon.

    Suddenly, there is a problem, no response when I insert a disc and my divx player says me no recorder found.
