Satellite A215-S7437 hard drive don't read do not

Whenever I put a CD in my CD drive, I heard the "rurr" that usually accompanies the normal sound of the hard drive working group work.

But lately, it makes this noise, but does not read the CD at all either. I searched the download and support already - suggestions?

I tried searching the base drivers / default on the driver download page, but they don't have em = / and restore the disc definitely out of the question since "broken" car

Hmmm. Entendez_ you the ODD (CD/DVD drive) is not able to read disks from different manufacturers; CD (+ R R + RW - RW) or DVD (+ R R, + RW - RW)?

If Yes, then the CD/DVD drive failure would be possible!
If this is the case, then you will need to replace the CD/DVD drive

If your warranty is valid, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country to help others

    Hello @jsilvester2006 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your CD/DVD drive on your laptop does not work.

    Can you please answer the following questions:

    You have recently installed software or Windows updates?

    When did you start in this topic?

    Have you tried several DVD?

    Make sure you have the latest version of the installed CyberLink PowerDVD software. Without this software, the DVD drive cannot read DVD or Blu - ray discs. You can download this software here: the CyberLink PowerDVD software.

    You can also try to do a restore system before the issue started if it a question recently of news. You can access the restoration through the HP Recovery Manager by tapping the F11 key, while the portable lights.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

  • Satellite A215-s4697 - HARD drive round and round

    I have a Satellite A215-s4697. AMD Turion 54 x 2 Dual Core technology tl-52 with 1 GB of ram.
    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    The hard drive on this thing just turns and turns and that the computer is slow.
    Im making here mail web (IE is the only thing that I opened) and it runs without interruption.
    Sometimes the computer crashes then releases sometimes it says: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and I restart.

    When I plug it to the tv to watch a show off hulu.com, for example, the player can run for 10 minutes before Detroit back work.
    However, then it works. That's so slow that it's frustrating.

    Any ideas.

    I tried the improve performance including removal of old programs, clean disc of deleted files and installers, ect.

    Thank you.

    Hi Seahunt,

    First of all, you must back up all data on the HARD drive. If the disk HARD still turns upward it sounds like this it becomes defective and must be replaced don t store on important data

    You can get a new HDD to a service provider authorized or an another computer store. As much as I now you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

  • Satellite M70 - after HARD drive partitioned, the OS does not start

    Hello

    Good then this is a real doozy, and I hope that someone will help.

    I started to fix my satellite m70 girlfriends using the disc of recovery etc, everything went fantastic, the HARD disk has been erased and Windows + all software has been reinstalled.

    Then I thought it would be a good idea to use partition magic to partition the hard drive, so I chose the main hard drive and cut 10GB of it to put in place a new partition.

    I rebooted, and then after Windows restarted again completed.

    NOW, it does not charge, it says no operating system, so I tried to start with the recovery disk and all over again...

    If I click on continue (to start the recovery process), however it is said now that the "Error #1828", free space is too small.

    I'm really angry that this has happened and I just want to start over again.

    Can someone help me with this?
    I can't access the Bios either (not sure if that might help), because I don't know the password (must be a fault im not aware of).

    Help, please.

    Thank you
    SG

    I think that this is the reason why you used a tool to change the size of the partition. At best, this should be done before you install Windows and 10 GB is a little too small for Windows. You must use at least 15-20 GB for the first partition where the BONE is placed.

    To resolve this problem, you must delete all existing partitions before using the recovery disk. Therefore, you can use a Windows XP disk or something else. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. Then the recovery disk should work.
    Check it!

  • Seeing the drive DVD Satellite M50 does not turn OFF, CD/DVD drive don't read do not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M50 - mx5 with a carpet * a DVD player. When I insert the CD or DVD, the player starts, turns the CD autour (the indicator light flashes)... but a few seconds later, the drive stops turning, but the DVD drive light is on.

    Windows also think that the DVD drive is empty.
    I also tried to boot Windows from the CD when the computer starts upward, but without success either.

    Ideas for what is wrong? Is my DVD drive broken?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry to said but in my opinion, drive is dead and that the replacement allows the reader features can save.

    But be aware that not every drive is supported and can be used with the laptop!
    Take a look in the user manual. Sometimes the compatible players are listed.
    And it s useful to know that all parts can be ordered from the ASP in your country.

    have a nice weekend ;)

  • HP Pavillion P6687: DVD drive don't read do not

    Hi all

    Recently I have problems with my DVD drive. It will not read the DVD when they are inserted and when I try to see through Windows Explorer, I am asked to insert a disc.

    The drawer opens and closes and I hear work but it does not recognize the discs.

    I believe that the optics are good, because it works very well and will autostart and play a cd when inserted.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Upgrade satellite 1900-102, hard drive

    Hello... My laptop is a toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a 20 GB hard drive. I would like to ask if I can upgrade the hard drive with another model and not the classic toshiba MK * 18GAP. Is it OK to use a hard drive from another provider? I want to use a Hitachi drive, which is less expensive, but it will be compatible?
    Thanks in advance!

    Don't know anything about Hitachi, but what speaks against an exchange of hard drive?
    The most important is the measures of the hard drive.
    As for the ability I can just tell you that we have a Satellite of 1900 with 30 concerts running

  • Satellite l350-262 HARD drive failed on the first reboot

    Hi guys,.

    I just bought new satellite L350-262 of amazon.co.uk
    It was delivered today so I started to put in place. It started fine, let me regional selection and networking options, and then it restarted and...
    I saw console message saying "a disk read error occurred...". "that indicates a failure of the HARD drive.

    I restarted and went into the BIOS settings and it appears on the first page of the BIOS that he does not see the drive (can recognize the DVD), but on the priority start screen TOSHIBA (and some) against the HARD drive.

    This problem occurred after the first reboot Windows 7 installation is forcing you to do, I didn't have the chance to create backups, and I can't see windows being installed at all, cause I can't do F8-> recovery which I thought to try as well.

    I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?

    Is it worth to make diagnosis of disk? Even if it says disk is ok, how I reinstall/install the system preloaded with no disk backup etc.?

    Thank you
    Greg

    > I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?
    I'm afraid, if the disk HARD is not recognized in the BIOS, that means HARD drive failure and you will not be able to recover it with the help and recovery disk or using recovery disc HARD m.
    It s really strange that a HARD drive is dead at first, but what looks like a bad luck, this can happen, because it s a machine

    Usually the HARD drive is under warranty as the entire notebook then you can request a hotfix and warranty would cover everything

  • Crazy Vista on Satellite A215-S7437 - how to restore?

    Hello

    I really need help.
    I have a Satellite A215-S7437 and windows Vista is crazy.
    I want to restore the laptop with the recovery partition.

    I have read haved if I want to start with this hidden restore partition that I need to press the 0 button zero when I turn it on.
    But this doesn't work in some way.

    IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO BOOT FROM THIS PARTITION...?

    need help, help me.

    Hello

    You could try to repair your Vista using the own Vistas called Startup Repair options
    Press and hold the F8 key as your Satellite restarts.

    You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. This is important.
    In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the Repair your computer option, and then press ENTER. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    The System Recovery Options menu should appear. You must click on startup repair.
    Startup Repair offers various options and there you make a choice to solve the problem.

    Good luck

  • hard drive went and HP said not included in the warranty?

    I'm stumped.

    My computer would not start.

    HP now tells me that it is not included in the warranty, since it must have had spilled water on it, or dropped.

    This is not true.

    He has simply stopped working on me.

    How can they be sure that it was not a mechanical problem?

    They told me to call customer service, but the number they gave me 866-442-7029 is not correct.

    What should I do now?

    Well,.

    Finally, we have the bottom of things.

    After agreeing only not treatment of me the gift to the 866-684-3620 (I refused to accept that it is a failure due to misuse and pay the fee), it tells me that there is nothing he can do to help me more.

    "You want me to fully waive the fee and I can't do it."

    So, I asked if there was someone else, I can speak to, superior to him.

    He then "climbed the case", and I got a call a day later, Eric, whose callback number was 877-917-4380 (unit 88). It turns out that Eric is a real, American HP customer service agent. He reviewed the notes and me (hope you're sitting) says:

    Of course, the guarantee is covered and there was no user caused damage.

    The reason I received misinformation of donation to this other number was that I asked that they also return me damaged the old hard disk (that I can try to get the data off it... see this article: http://www.geekyprojects.com/storage/how-to-recover-data-from-a-broken-hard-drive/ )

    )

    and since (the hard drive broke his back) is not included in the warranty, I was being charged for an out of warranty service.

    !!!

    I told Eric that Don does nothing of the sort. He told me that the damage to the car has been documented as being caused user and was therefore not in the warranty.

    Eric told me that misunderstood gift probably notes.

    (Strange thing is that people in India or in as much that the HP number 800-474-6836, also said that the damage is not included in the warranty and I have to pay for it. When I pressed them to find out why this is so, they quoted me the number of 866-684-3620.)

    In any case, I haggled a bit with Eric and he was quite kind to put in a special request that the repair and the former player returned to me with the machine (remember, they throw out otherwise). Indeed, it has been, and I am always grateful.

    Just a couple of points.

    (1) the gift of first wanted to charge me $270 for the new disc repair. When I refused, he says can "take labor costs on and just charge me for parts... $180. Well, google it. Road costs about $40. How honest is that?

    (2) I called this number 866-684-3620 the next day and said the gentleman who responded (this time it's Mark, not Don) what happened. In my innocence, I told him I'm relaying it so that the next time someone asks the old rear drive (I guess his commune... who wants to kick back all their data), you tell them 'it was a damaged caused user. " Well, Mark told me that he couldn't care less and would not do anything with the information that I just gave him. Would not relay it to anyone.

    Later, I realized that the number of 866-684-3620 is not HP, but the number for people to Quanta Computer, which are a company who perform repairs for HP. clearly, it is in their interest to do a repair and to be paid by the owner of the laptop, not HP. (HP does not pay $180 to replace a hard drive that cost me the retail $40!)

    Bottom Line: Don't download jostled by the people of 866-684-3620. Ask that the case "degenerate." You will get a HP person and this time an intellegent and speak English.

    For other examples of complaints of people buffeted by staff at 866-684-3620 (Quanta Computer), just google

    866-684-3620.

    At the end of the day, however, I would like to thank Eric and also HP, to fix my computer and the hard drive back.

    (By the way, the best place to get the HDD replacement PCB is: http://www.onepcbsolution.com/ .) Change the pcb often allows you to recover your data.)
