Whenever I put a disk in it says the disc is unreadable.

Original title: hard drive problems

I had a problem with my hard drive. Whenever I put a disk in it says the disc is unreadable. I know that's not true because the dvd works fine on my xbox.

the player starts when I put the disc in, clicks several times and stops running. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Peteclay,

Usually this is due because of hardware or software related issues. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

2 is it limited to any specific DVD or with all DVDs?

3. do you get any error code or error message?

4. What is the number of brand and model of the computer?

I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

Method 1:

Run the fixit from Microsoft Fixit article and if that helps.

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us

Method 2:

Try to install the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer of the computer or from Windows Update and check if the problem persists.

See the following Microsoft Help article to update the driver.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Update-driver-hardware-ISN

If the question is limited to any specific CD/DVD, then it would be best to contact the material or the game Support for more help on this issue. This could be the problem with the CD/DVD or because of the material.

Please reply with the status of the issue so that we can better help you.

    I took my PC to the Geek Squad at my local Best Buy store and it turns out that Windows was just corrupted. All you have to do is to do a full restore using recovery discs. For more information about your model, I would just search on the internet.

    Hello! Here are a few responses from members of the forum about your problem. See if you can find a solution from them. http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/forums/SearchPage/tab/message?filter=labels%2Clocation&location=Forum-Board%3AOSandSW&q=no+boot+disk+has+been+detected

    Dokie!

    PS It doesn't look good for me. Good luck and thanks for posting back.

    It has been my experience in the past that a message as this means that either the operating system is corrupt or your hard drive is dead. If your hard drive does not show in the boot order, it's a major sign of a bad HD, but not100%.  There are several free testers HD. Most have the back, which means that you don't have to have an operating system to start their. If you are not able to test your HD with F2 or F11 functions, try one of them. You will need to burn an ISO to a CD file.

  • Pavilion 500 - C60: new office reads, "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed" at startup.

    Just bought Pavilion 500 - C60, running Windows 8.1 64-bit and am doing everything on old HP running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2. Has not gone smoothly from one thing to another, but I think everything comes together. A couple of days, began to receive the error message at startup or, if I COULD do so that it starts would go for awhile and then would get an ERROR message, requiring restart. Usually after obtaining the error message several times, the computer would then initialize. Tonight, I couldn't override the error message for anything! When you press power button / stop, I hear (HD) running for a few seconds, everything is silent, and then the error message appears on the gray screen dark in white letters, BACK very and sinister looking! Any suggestions? Had the computer about two months and it has not been easy.

    Not good!  Check all the connectors and the hard drive to make sure that they are correctly wired in place. Make sure that your cable is not reversed.

    Contact the seller if still under warranty for repair.  This could be the hard drive or motherboard and the problem lies the only diagnosis from a repair facility.

  • Disk drive cannot read the disc. The product is s5120f Pavilion Slimline. Windows 7 operating system

    I did the diagnostic tests, and the drive seems to work fine. I think I just need to clean the lens, as I've never cleaned. I need to know what kind of cleaning kit or drive to buy. I bought a cheap vacuum disc at Wal-Mart (Memorex) but it does not work in the PC disc drive - it has no brushes. A Utube video uses a 2-brush Phillips drive, but I want to confirm before buying another. Perhaps that the system 2-brush of cd/dvd lens cleaner SVC2330/27 Phillips? The recommendation is appreciated.

    Depending on the operating system used on the laptop:

    Select your operating system, download recommended drivers/full software and install them.

    I hope this helps!

  • Make sure the disk is running whenever I start, and although I can access the internet, I can't open any websites.

    Control of disk runs whenever I starts and then displays windows so I guess it solves the problem, but I can't open any websites, even if I get to the internet.  I got my connection verified by my internet provider and I had my system examined by the technical service of my provider of virus & protection all to nothing does not.   Where can I find the results of analysis of disk verification?  It basically says the disc must be check for compatibility, but at the end of the analysis, it publishes results for just a second.  Too fast to read.

    It is good - now you know what the problem is and why XP prevents running chkdsk (he's trying to help you!).

    Here is a link to the article from Microsoft KB on the XP Recovery Console:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307654

    You do not need 'install', you will have to 'use' then go to the section 'how to use the Recovery Console.  Save installation if for another day.

    After step 4, you should be at the command prompt in the folder c:\windows.

    If anything it of a little weird or don't look right, or you don't get it, stop and you can make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and use it.

    Don't forget: you can't question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console.  When the chkdsk /r is running clean (it may take more than one pass), reboot and see if chkdsk wants to run again or not, and then query the dirty bit again if you don't know what it is in the State.  The volume must be "not dirty" or chkdsk will want to turn on every restart, until it is.

    Once in the Recovery Console, follow these steps:

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • The error that says it cannot read the disc.

    I installed a CD using Windows Media Player AutoPlay as my default for audio CD the 1st song plays, but when I select the next song, I get a red X icon and an error saying the disc cannot be read and it climbs to the 3rd song. So, if I select another song, I get several red X icons on several songs. It happens with all prerecorded CDs that I install. The disks are clean and new and everything worked fine before, but I had my Windows Vista Home Premium reloaded recently. I don't remember if the player has worked properly for reloading. Why can it read well enough to still play some songs if it cannot read the disc. I'm getting confused. Can someone help me sort through this and help me make it work? I'm not too computer, so be gentle. Thank you... Dave
