  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

• Satellite A350-CD/DVD drive does not appear

  My CD drive does not appear in my computer and no longer works

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hi denis,.

  It appears perhaps with yellow exclamation point in Device Manager? With the code 19 error? I ask this question because I founded this interesting article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the drive is seen in BIOS or not because in the worst case, need to replace the disk.

• DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

  I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
  It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
  The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
  I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

  I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

  Any ideas how I can fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

  Optical disc drive is listed correctly in the Device Manager?

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

  Hello

  Don t use Roxio program to burn the CD.
  Use Nero! It of much better! I also use it and I m very happy.

  I noticed that Roxio modifies the registry key, and so sometimes the CD/DVD drive cannot read or burn some mediums.

  Delete the Upperfilter and UpperFilter in this key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• My DVD drive does not appear in Windows Explorer

  This morning my computer ran a scan virus and other things, and when this was done, my computer will not respond to any type of CD.  No DVD, CD or even disks with files stored on them.
  When I open windows Explorer, the drive from DVD (e) is not even more appear.  I was wondering how to fix this.

  Hello

  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.

• CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

  I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

• My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

  My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

  Hello gargoyle28m,

  If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

  Thank you

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.

  Thank you.

  You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.

• DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

  Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

  A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

  "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

  I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

  I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

  Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

  I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

  What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

  I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.

• Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

  Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

  The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
  There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
  I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
  I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

  I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
  I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

  The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
  Sorry I don't have any other information.

  Can anyone help.

  Thank you

  Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

  But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
  If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

• My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

  DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

  Hello

  (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

  (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

  You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

  Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

  Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

  Try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.
