• Vista does not recognize any disk in the disk drive

  Vista crashed when I was loading photos on a cd.  Since then every disc I put in - music, software, data are not recognized, it turns but no program starts automatically.  If I go in via Explore and click the drive the disc turns, then I get the message "Please put in a disc.  Any help gratefully received

  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.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

  However, the Bureau will recognize any wired (USB) or mouse wireless (bluetooth) connected.

  It baffles me that the bureau will recognize a usb or bluetooth mouse mouse - but that it will not recognize the bluetooth keyboard or a usb keyboard.

  I tried many things

  1. connect the USB and Bluetooth keyboards in my laptop and check that they work properly. -They are.

  2. I tried using different USB ports on the desktop. He has not made a difference.

• computer does not recognize a dvd in the drive

  Hello

  My computer does not recognize the presence of a dvd in one of my two drives, although she acknowledges a CD.  This happens regardless of what dvd I insert.

  Thank you very much

  Try this;  Restart your computer before trying again the disc that plays on your DVD player.  If this does not work then there is only one possibility;  your DVD drive is DEAD and you need to replace it, or buy an external CD/DVD drive.    He comes to the end of the mystery.

Laptop HP Compaq 6510 b and the DVD ROM is MATSHITA DVD - RAM UJ - 860H ATA DEVICE. Please share your ideas about the problem. I really enjoyed this :)

• Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

  I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
  For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

  Do you have any idea how to fix?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

  On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.

• Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

  I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

  I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

  She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

  Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

  Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

  Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

• Computer does not recognize Toshiba external 500G HDD - HARD drive

  Sorry, I use a translator, because all the illiterate

  A year and a half used the hard drive, and now the computer does not recognize it, the TV too.
  In Device Manager, it is there, but says "initialization error".

  What should do?
  Thanks for the replies

  You have partitions software installed on the laptop you?
  I guess that the HARD disk does not appear in windows Explorer, but common partition as the partition Wizard tool might be able to recognize the HARD drive.
  You can try to format the HARD disk and to create the new NTFS partition.

  Another solution:
  Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

  In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
  In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
  You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
  After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

• Windows does not recognize my card or my camera drive

  Windows does not recognize my sd card reader or my camera.   I have no problem with all the other devices such as printer, Mp3 player (all) external drives.

  Thank you

  Laurie.

  Hi Laurie,

  ·         Have you tried to connect the card reader on different USB ports on your computer?

  We will check if the following is useful.

  Method 1: Try to connect the flash drive to different USB ports on the computer and check if it helps.

  Method 2:

  Step 1: Try to reinstall the USB controllers and check if it helps.

  a. click the Start button and then right click on my computer. Click on properties.

  b. click on the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager. Expand the Bus USB controllers section by clicking on the sign «+»

  c. each of the devices under the USB controller section uninstall by right-clicking on each one, then click on uninstall.

  d. close Device Manager, and then restart your computer. Windows XP re - automatically installs the USB controllers in your computer, so you don't have to do anything further. Your computer is now running properly USB devices.

  Step 2: Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and update the latest chipset drivers and other updates to the device driver.
