• DVD players do not show up as removable devices in solution under my computer Explorer - they show that local hard drives

  DVD players in my machine do not appear in the removable devices section of the browser on the computer.  They are found under hard drives and he has not shown the removable devices section.

  Some of my applications cannot detect that there is a DVD drive attached to the system because of that.

  As a problem, the USB devices do not show as removable storage also.

  I tried to reinstall the devices for DVD players but no change to the situation.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The problem has persisted since I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro.

  Thank you
  Steve.

  Hi Steveci,

  There are a few things I would say.  Go to your computer manufacturer's website to get the latest version of the BIOS and drivers for the chipset of your machine.  Also, please see the following article some troubleshooting for the reader of CD/DVD is not recognized:

• CD/DVD not detected in my computer players

  Hi all!

  I have a problem that seems to be quite common, but cannot find an answer to it.  My problem is for my XP.  I followed all the steps in article 982116 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116/en-us).  Specifically, the problem is that when I Open regedit and go to the place, there is no upper or lower filters listed.  The article does not provide a solution for this.

  I have install various CD/DVD players, hoping that it will work.  They do not.  BIOS shows install them.  Manager device displays them but with a small exclamation yellow mark.  I even tried my external DVD drive and plugged into a USB on my computer and I had the same problem.

  I can't use my computer because I need to install stuff but can't because I can't get the shoot to work.  I hope someone has a solution.

  Thank you

• Windows Vista Edition Home Premium: CD/DVD player shows no not in my computer - registry problem?

  Hi there, im trying to fix my friends laptop. The CD/DVD drive will open and close but not write to disks. He does not appear in my computer, but is in the Device Manager. I tried to remove it from the Device Manager and reinstall, but that has not worked. I also tried a system restore, but that no longer works. After some research on the web, I found that some people edit removing the upperfilters in registry and that has solved the problem for them, however, I can't find the upper or lower filters in registry of cd/dvd players information. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Danny.

  Hello slbenfica1,

  1. have you checked if the drive appears in Device Manager and the BIOS?

  If you have already tried the patches and removed the filters in the registry, it could be a hardware problem.

  I suggest you check if the drive appears in the Device Manager and BIOS.

  Here are the following steps to access the Device Manager:

  How to optimize Internet Explorer

  a. Click Start. In the start search box type "devmgmt.msc", and then press ENTER.

  b. expand "Readers of DVD/CD ROM" and check the status of the device, see if you find a yellow fringe or exclamations.

  Check also if you find the drive in the BIOS. You can consult the manufacturers manual and the instructions to check the shortcut key to start the computer's BIOS.

  WARNING OF THE BIOS:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Too many competing products can stretch resources and cause problems. The power below

  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

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

• Qosmio G20: Feedback speaker + HD DVD will not play

  I usually don't use the internal sound on the laptop it is normally plugged into my hi-fi using optics and a creative labs USB device.

  However, I am experimenting with playing a DVD hd through my TV using the hdmi output connection. The two DVDs, DVD player high definition HD Toshiba tries to play but nothing happens. Anyway back to the right question.

  I thought that, perhaps, the cause is that I had disabled internal sound, so I let him. However, when you start up Windows, I got your feedback loud and terrible (MOM had to leave the room). I had two times to turn it off by pressing on the top to move off. When feedback was going on the computer seems inadmissible. I discovered later that he would sometimes silence if I almost closed the lid. Finally, finally, I managed to get into the control panel to turn off the sound edge. Any ideas?

  Back to DVD problems. Bought the PC in early January and Doom on HD DVD just to try (has not bought a laptop for high definition DVD just the model I chose had it anyway). When I tried doom, it did not work, a few weeks ago. Permit on board and it worked. Disabled the sound, back to my stereo and it still worked. In both cases, did not watch the movie, was just to try the stuff of high definition.

  A colleague lent me King Kong on HD DVD and I had intend to also try the hdmi connection. The two videos won't play.

  Any ideas?

  Wait a moment David! Your ad is so confusing to me that I n know how to understand all your problems.

  Can we please discuss step by step?

  First I delete information because, as far as I know, the G20 is not distributed with HD - DVD player, only G30 (not all). Because of this I will ask you once again: is this your Qosmio G20 has ODD HD-DVD and HDMI output on the basque coast port? If Yes can please write you exact model description (G20 - XXX)?

  I ask this because I tested the G30 friends with my HD-ready LCD TV and everything works perfectly. Picture on TV is brilliant and its really fantastic.

  Please write again, but clear sentences and try to explain what is exactly your problem.

  ============================================

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART 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 coward
  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
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
