The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver failed to initialize

Keeps my CD/DVD-ROM driver not boot on the market.  Device Manager, says the driver is there, but it does boot, where will not read or write.  It's on an eMachines T3642 that came with Vista Home Premium.  The supplied operating system CD is available but not (obviously) read.  Help me not sysem restore... first restore point is September 22, 2009 and several dates different restoration do not help.

eMachines support provides no answers on products out of warranty.  This set was purchased in January 2008, has worked very well with several old and a few new programs and material added since then.

According to the diagnosis of Vista via the Device Manager, the failure of the pilot gave 37 error code.  The driver date is 21/06/2006, version 6.0.6002.18005,.

Quandry: SOMETHING again loaded in via CD-ROM cannot load because the drive can't read it.     :-(
The diagnosis of MS an available (on another window) will not download. (?)

Color me irritated and frustrated (not a good fashion these days).  Help, please.

Sincerely, Len Anderson

Hello AF6AY,

Have you tried to uninstall the dvd via the Device Manager drive then restart PC to see if Windows reinstalls? You can do it. If the problem is still there, can give a try? It is a quick easy fix from Microsoft, here is the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. You need to uninstall all third-party software (example: Roxio, Nero, or iTunes) from your computer before you make this correction. After you restart, you can reinstall your software and try again to see if that solves your problem. Otherwise, it could be a bad optical drive. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • Example: Pavilion a230n: replace the CD rom drive in Hp Pavilion a230n

    I just saved a Paviliona230n to a sad end. He dumped the parts of the body, but I had an old Millennium that I could upgrade to XP or higher. I put two Cd-rom drives in and may not know how to do it without removing the AMD CPU and fan - something I am unwilling to do without instructions.

    Are they cut down and how I unplug safely so I can insert the CD rom drives.

    I guess I'd the drive readable than plugging in the cable (top) master and the rewritable as the slave.  OR?

    I think I already exaggerated the bit of memory because the machine seems to have an a GB of memory and I put both of them in. Seems to work.

    Then I need to get drivers especially for the ethernet connection.

    More important is the method to remove the block of memory to AMD. Of course, I don't want to mess that up.

    Just for interest: the hard drive with the millennial system OP is flaky. I think it was the program, but when I tried to install XP as an 'upgrade' (to save the programs and files) it has failed twice. Only when I did a full install worked.

    Then I'll have to check the integrity of the player itself and I doubt that my disk wipe dbam (boot and nuke) work on it. He also did a great job on checking the hard drive before installing anything. It was not recognized by Millennium.

    TIA

    I also have a blog, google more on plants. The plants were at the beginning of this need to find a computer equipped with a 3.5 inch diskettes. Years ago I had an excellent program of Gardenware (plus 250.00) to create labels. I made a library of 600 point of my plants with descriptions.

    Win 3.1 now. I can't even install it again because it is the innovative and he needs a key to unlocking that the company no longer for older versions. Nothing else can read or open the backup disk library... so I downloaded a Viewer freefile and hope that it will work on this subject. I hope on the XP version. If this isn't the case, I'll have to install a floppy drive on one of my computers in Win 7.

    I found this to be beyond comprehension. If you're selling a car, you have to keep the parts for it. I don't see that the developer of this program may not have kept the unlock codes for all older versions. Certainly don't makes me want to buy their NEW release for 199.00.

    If this Viewer freefile unfold all I can do is get a mobile 3.5 floppy drive with a USB port and plug it into another computer of Nurserymans to see if the new version can read.

    b. check if the CD/DVD device is detected.
    c. If this isn't the case, then unplug the unit and he reconnected inside the CPU/Tower.
    d. check the result.

    Step 2: If the device is detected in the BIOS, try the following steps:
    a. start your computer and boot to the desktop.
    b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    c. select my computer, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
    d. check if the CD/DVD device is listed in the list.

    Step 3: If the problem persists, restore the computer
    see How to restore Windows XP to a previous state .
    b. Once you have restored the computer, check if the CD/DVD drive is visible.

  • Cannot boot from the CD-ROM drive

    I have a Dell Dimension 9100.  Operating system is Windows XP.

    The CD-ROM drive works great for playing CDs and recording stuff, but I can't boot from it.

    Everything is fine with my computer at this time, it starts fine from the HARD disk, but I anticipate before when I need to use Acronis image rescue media under my method of recovery after a disaster.

    For some reason any does not start my 9100 the drive, even after changing the BIOS boot sequence to insert 1.  My Dimension 4400 starts the CD player without problem.  4400 boots even in the backup media created in the 9100.

    I carefully followed the instructions in the Dell knowledge base article "How to configure a Dell Dimension series system to Boot to the CD drive", does not.  I opened the folder and reinstall CD drive connections.  In addition, I am at a loss.

    I hope someone can help me get this right.  Thank you.

  • How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

    I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Please note, in order to install Windows 7, you must have a DVD player, if you have a CD-ROM drive, which will not work.

  • Workstation / ESXi question - force vSphere Client to enter the CD-ROM drive

    This week I started to develop a practical system at home for me to learn VMware administration and systems.

    I installed ESXi 5 and Windows 7 Workstation 8, which is located in Windows Server 2008 on a server Dell T - 410 have a physical CD/DVD ROM drive.  In Win 7 I have the vSphere client installed and I get successfully to ESXi to manage and install other operating systems, which is where I'm stuck.  Note that, in my computer, I can take my Win 7 OS and in my computer has chosen to "eject" the drive with the OS I want to install.

    I am trying to install several virtual machines and have created two "containers" / "stubs" for these virtual machines (a Red Hat and a Win 2008 Server) but cannot get the vSphere Client interface to take control of the drive and pass it to the open Console.

    It is quite a matrix in the area of the drive options that is available.  What is the secret to be able to do this correctly, because all the videos I watched on YouTube where they are installing a system shows the OS that they install will ESXi very easily after choosing the CD/DVD-ROM drive... time to enter work station, which is where I'm NOT.

    How do I properly set up my CD/DVD-ROM drives in my computer so that ESXi installs the operating system?  I chose each drive letter and the option available but are unable to install the operating system.

    Thank you

    André Pett wrote: I think that we have understood this and that is the reason why WoodyZ mentioned ISO images.

    Yes, thats why I said what I did, and also because it's been a while since I've run ESXi in a VM and when I did I think the only way that I could install the operating system in a virtual machine when ESXi is a virtual computer was too use ISO images, which, of course, since it's my preference anyway it did not matter.  Now I only mention this because I don't remember for sure and using pictures is really the best way to go anyway.  Also, I don't have time to install ESXI in a virtual machine and go through the motions again.

  • The cd-rom drive access denied to Windows free audio converter (fre:ac) (7)

    Hello

    Since the upgrade to Windows 7 (32 bit), I get this message when I run fre:ac.

    "Access to CD-ROM drives was denied by Windows', followed by 'please contact your administrator." "etc.
    I get this even when logged in as administrator!

    The result is that I can't use fre:ac to rip CDs. The drive works fine in the case and works with Windows Media Player.

    Fre:AC worked fine with XP, but not with Windows 7, it seems.

    Any help appreciated, thanks.
