Aspire 5740g and the dvd drive does not appear in 'my computer '.
I had to have a new installed hard drive I got an error message saying old default disk.
I also had a clean install of windows 7 that I was uncertain if my discs that I created would be ok.
So I have not all the gifts that have been installed on the laptop like new. Now, I find that the dvd drive is not displayed in my computer and nothing happens when I insert the disc.
This has happened a couple of days and I did a restore of the system to a previous restore point. Does anyone know how to solve this problem.
I also do not have the secure egis - any ideas how to get this back
Then... your DVD is probably defective.
did you check in the BIOS if it is listed on bootable devices?
Press F2 at startup, if it is not listed, it is defective.

I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Compaq Presario F700. It is listed in the list of computers of readers, it is listed in Device Manager. The lites drive that the computer boots so I know it is detected. When you run itunes or media player the player does not open. When I push the drive button it will not open. It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

CD/dvd drive does not properly
drive will read DVDs but not cd. Once in a while, it will read a cd, but it shows the cd as empty (no space) I know that the cd is full. any help would be appreciated
Hello
You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.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.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.-----------------------------------------------------

My Sony Vaio E Series model VPCEB32FM CD/DVD ROM is not working or projection upward. Please notify
I tried to remove and reconnect. I tried to look in the Device Manager. I tried the patch Microsoft Fixit. None have seemed to work.
What are some solutions.
Thanks in advance
cmczona,
Did you try to apply this difficulty? If you have, and it still doesn't show, try to start it. Make sure that you have a bootable disk and make sure it is set to boot from the optical drive in the BIOS first. If you can't then it's a hardware problem and the player or another material is defective...

Re: CD/DVD drive does not seem to start the DVD in Satellite P750
My CD/DVD drive does not seem to start DVD, it runs and runs and the only way I can run a DVD (i.e. film) is using Windows Media Center, while the software to install must be enabled in Windows Explorer.
Anyone?
Help, please.
Thank you!Have you tried to change AutoPlay settings?
Open Control Panel and Auto game options. Enable the option Use AutoPlay for all media and devices. Also change other options, especially for DVD movies, software and games. -
Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS
The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".This means that the CD device is dead?
Hey Micky,
Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.
Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.
Kind regards
