Tecra M1 does not recognize the DVD drive after replacement

• Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

  Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios

  OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.

  The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

  This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

  Seems odd.

  The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

  Hello

  I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...

  When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...

  Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

• Power mac g4 does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  It has worked very well in Leapard

  I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

  What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

  Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

  If you put another type of disc in the optical drive, as a music CD, it is recognized?

• 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

• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

• Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

  I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

  Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

  The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

  I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

  Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

  This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

  Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (full version) - OEM
  Intel Core i5 - 3570K
  Card mother GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H
  Crucial Ballistix 2 x 8 GB DDR3 1600
  Crucial M4 2.5 "128 GB SSD (system disk)
  WD Green WD30EZRX x 4 (data readers) 3 TB drive
  Rosewill Challenger-U3 ATX Mid Tower Case
  SeaSonic M12II 620W 620 Bronze PSU
  ASUS DVD writer

  The DSS must be LOW LEVEL FORMATE.

  Once, there may be no other [HDDs] not connected to the SATA ports.

  Install Windows 8 Pro now.

  [Edit] Can someone please mark this as answered? I can't because I posted the question. Thank you.

• Satellite A205-S4777 - XP does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hello!

  Recently I buyed a new satellite Toshiba A205-S4777 with Windows Vista home premium installed
  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:

• 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]

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

  Hi all
  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?

• Lost in car-Windows xp does not recognize the slave drive

  I do reinstall xp home, no problem when I did the system does not recognize the slave drive I have.  As far as I can tell that it's all hooked up correctly.  When I go into disk management it does not recognize the drive either.  All of the suggestions.

  Hi james.williams,

  1. How is the drive connected to the computer?
  2. What is the number of the brand and model of the player?

  I suggest that you check the jumper settings and make sure that the jumpers are correctly positioned.

  Make sure they are in the two master/slave jumper and not cable select.
