  • Loss of CD/DVD driver on the upgrade to Windows 10

    I have a gateway all-in-One ZX4270 model which I updated from Windows 8.1 to 10.  Everything is OK except that I apparently lost my CD/DVD drive in the process.  He is still physically there, and he turns a drive when it is inserted, but the computer does not recognize the drive.  It is not shown on the file Explorer.   Based on the advice of the Microsoft forum, I first run the troubleshooter (no effect) and then uninstalled the driver in the Device Manager and rebooted, but no new driver has been installed.  I looked on the Acer website for a new driver to download, but none seem to be included.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    I'm sorry but I'm out of ideas.  I don't know if the registry change will help or cause problems.

    I might even consider buying an external DVD and then plug it into a USB port.

    It's about to get the best of me!  I'm trying to fix HP Pavilion dv9700 with processor AMD windows Vista 64bitt wife. When you insert a cd/dvd in the drive it turns, bends and turns off. I do not see the cd/dvd drive in my computer (drive E :). I can see it in Device Manager and device manager says its working properly. I deleted the upper and lower filters in the registry, uninstalled the drive, reinstalled the drive, the drivers updated, physically removed the drive from the computer and check the connector, everything looks ok. Is the drive itself bad? If so, why then I see it in my computer. I ran a few fix his well they say they fixed the drive sucssefully it is still a problem, and it still does not work. I'm not a big fan of Vista OS, less than one become today!

    Hello

    Check with HP, their drivers support and documentation online and ask in the Forums of HP in case
    known problems.

    ================================================================
    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
    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.

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

    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.

    Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

    Technical expertise: intermediate level

    Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

    Hello amib004,

    As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.
