Satellite A300D - 21(d) - burning software does not recognize my optical drive

• Windows 7 does not recognize the optical drive.

  My Optiplex 3010 refuses to recognize the drive R/WDVD.  It used to, but now does not work.  It does not appear on the list of Windows Explorer of connected disk devices, and on Device Manager, it has a yellow "!" next to it, showing the existence of some kind of conflict.

  Dell technician you changed every piece of hardware in the system, but there is no change.

  It is recommended to reload the operating system, but I'm not sure that's possible when the optical drive, which emerges my backup does not work. ?

  I tried the system restore, but there are only a few recent brand-places and this problem is ongoing for longer than this.

  So, is it possible to restore the operating system to health short to start all over?

  I tried your suggestion to see if the drive is recognized by the BIOS, and it is.  So, as you say, it's a Windows problem (no surprise).

  The thing that I was worried about most is having to reload the OS of my backup restore DVD disk using a disk drive does not work.  But, you pointed out that if the BIOS recognizes the drive, the disc should be readable.

  I just have to devote myself a day or two to reload all my programs applications to deal with another failure of a Microsoft OS to steel.  Grrr!   :- (

• Satellite A30 - 30F does not recognize my hard drive

  Hello
  I have a laptop Satellite A30 and when I start it up I get this message:

  I think my laptop is trying to boot from LAN because that does not recognize the hard drive, but the drive is ok, I tried on another computer with problem. Sometimes, not always, and I don't know why, I can start from the CD. If I boot from the Windows XP installation disk, I can access the hard drive. I've run fixboot and fixmbr hard disk, but that does not change. The bios recognizes the hard drive. BIOS vertsion is 1.20. I tried to upgrade the BIOS, but I need to Windows, so...

  Thank you very much and sorry for my English :)

  and I noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so I decided to downgrade to XP

  I want to directly install Windows XP but the installer does not recognize the hard drive or more exactly controllers!

  I nLite Sata drivers in Windows Xp Sp2, I bought on the microsoft.com site!

  Everything worked well.
  The Installer recognized fine hard and Setup finallased!

  But here's the problem when loading windows and try to pass on gorge yourself sort of blue screen one unreadable!

  And restarts and let, it does all day the same thing!

  I'm afraid that I have not nLite the right drivers.

  Is there anyone Heve downgraded this model?
  Thanx

  Hello

  Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
  The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
  I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

  In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

• Fingerprint software does not recognize my fingerprints

  Hello

  I installed the 64-bit Windows 7 (using cd upgrade upgrade to win7 program)
  Installed all updates (windows)

  However, fingerprint software does not recognize my fingerprints-. -.
  The first two are fine, but the third party never works, it's the same story for all my fingers...

  I HAD the program works perfectly until I reinstalled my OS
  For some reason, I remember the same problem last time I had to reinstall, do not remember what I did to remedy

  any advice?
  Thank you for your time and help!

  Edit:

  To add a few details:
  It worked before
  The hardware is not the issue (he reads my fingers)
  It is software or just my DNA changes my fingerprints-. -.
  I can't remember which version of the software / I downloaded the last time, but I find the latest software online on this site and found

  In addition, the FACE program does not work either
  He was working before I reinstalled the operating system
  Is it just me or all the security programs like simply not me-. -.

  Hello

  In your case, I recommend you remove all traces of fingers first.
  Then, uninstall the software and clean the registry with CCleaner.
  Then download the new software for fingerprint for the computer laptop and Win 7
  After that, scan and configure the fingerprints once more.

  In regards to the face recognition software;
  You must uninstall this too and need to download the latest version of this software for Win 7

• Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

  I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
  Does anyone no what I can do?
  Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

  Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
  If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

  Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• My computer does not recognize my CD drive

  I have:

  went to hp support and did all the solutions available including:
  -check the devices for the player manager, looked for an updated driver.
  -check the BIOS to see if the disc is recognized and is not.
  Windows does not recognize my cd drive at all anywhere in my system, and BIOS is not either.
  I have no idea where the cable on my cd rom drive is at all so I feel not comfortable to verify if the drive is properly connected. I know that the reader was one for a long time until a few months ago and the cd player turns on and eject when I hit the button manually... so the power supply is plugged.
  Anyone have any ideas?

• Computer does not recognize the CD Driver.

  My computer does not recognize my CD driver or does not burn anything.  Just used this mother's day so I know it worked.  In the Device Manager under DVD/CD rom players, there is the DVD A DS8A2 currently ATA Device.  It has a yellow triangle with a! inside. When I click on properties of this, he says that the device cannot start. Code 10.  Tried to find solutions, but it does not allow me to do.  This same thing has happened, but I do not remember how to fix.  Help.

  Try to take the cd player and plug in or go to the website of computer company and try to find drivers ex: dell, lenovo, sony, emichine ect.

  It has helped me.

• Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD

  Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.

  Thanks for the reply.

  There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.

  I managed to fix the problem after:

  -J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
  -J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
  -J' uninstalled the USB controllers
  -reboot the system
  -reconnected the external HD
  -After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated software

• Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

  I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

  I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
  Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

  Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

  THX

  Hello

  Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
  On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

  I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
  The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

  Good luck

• Qosmio F30 - 112 - Windows XP does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hello.

  I have a Qosmio F30-112.
  I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
  However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

  I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
  But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

  Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Just a question:
  You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

  The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

  You should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:
  [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]
