Why I can't find my CD/DVD drive anywhere in my computer?

I know that I could not use my drive for awhile now because of this problem, and it gets really annoying. Somehow, my CD/DVD drive is completely absent from my laptop. It is not displayed in my computer, the Manager of devices, even in the BIOS, or other programs (Itunes, WMP, same Disc Creator). I don't know how this could be, as the Player opens perfectly fine (lights come one) and a disc rotates when I insert it, even if nothing is accessible from the laptop. I removed the drive from the laptop to see if it were to be resettled or anything, but it still doesn't work. The connection should work if the lights and the work surface. And for some reason, my laptop (which is unbearably slow) is incredibly faster, especially when it starts, as Windows starts without the CD/DVD drive in the laptop in about 20 seconds, compared to less than 5 minutes. I ran all kinds of "Fix - Its" Microsoft, and none of them does not work, tried to delete the upper and lower filters (I don't have a low filters for some reason any) and run all sorts of other programs to try to solve this problem. I don't know if reinstall Windows (and, as a result, pilots) can help, but in any case I have my CD/DVD isn't working. I tried also to proffer a virtual drive with MagicISO and research of new material from the virtual drive in the device without success Manager. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

My laptop is less than 3 years:

Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64-bit

2.00Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6400

4.00 GB RAM

288 GB HDD, 159 GB of free space

CD/DVD drive: Samsung TS-L633P

    Hello!

    I don't know what happened to my computer, but it finds no more CD/DVD drive.
    I guess I could have removed some necessary player, but not the goal anyway.

    Is it possible to get it back?
    I tried RmvFltrs which I found on some Toshiba Google search tech support site, but it did not help.
    He said it worked but my computer tells me that the installation could not be performed.

    I'm not in a desperate need of training for work, I wonder if it is possible to make it work somehow. So if someone could help me with this, I'd be more than happy.

  • I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

    Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

    Hello!

    I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

    WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
    * key series *.
    * numbers of many * X 1881991

    Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

    Hello

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.

  • I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

    I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

    I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

    I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

    It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

    I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

    Hello ShamedMonkey,

    Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
    First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
    (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on "disk management".
    In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
    FAT32:
    This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
    NTFS
    This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
    Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Windows Vista cannot find the CD/DVD drive

    The problem: my computer does not find my CD/DVD drive, it is not listed in Device Manager as at all CD/DVD drive, it has power because it opens when I press the button, and when I put a CD, it does nothing.

    My computer: I have Windows Vista Home Premium, dv6700 Notebook, 32 bit, running on the System Pack 1. (I tried to update to the pack 2 system, but at some point, he is simply decided to AC turns off and when I booted up my laptop, he did a system restore and poof, System Pack 2 was gone, and I never re-installed.)
    What I tried: I tried the Fix It program here on Windows, and it has detected a problem (if I remember correctly, but had no trouble for him); I tried deleting the upper and lower filters (which I haven't really found, because the CD/DVD is NOT an option in my device manager); I tried setting my computer back to factory settings completely.
    Basically, I'm at a loss to know what to do to try to solve this problem. I don't remember how long this has happened (at the time, that my hard drive does not open even for me to put a CD) and I don't see what program could have caused it as appropriate. The only rider listed is listed under disk drives, and it's WDC WD2500BEVS - 60UST0 ATA Device (I don't know if cela help/questions in all). I do not have a disk; the laptop comes with Windows Vista and if she had a drive anyway, I didn't like this laptop was given to me by my father. I don't know what else to do to try to solve this problem. Someone please help.

    Try to pull the reader iut and reinstall it.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor 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 be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.

    * Original title: Windows Defender

    I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.

    (Moved to repair and recovery)

    Hello

    Windows Defender on Windows 7 is only antispyware. It has disabled (to avoid potential conflicts) during the installation of various programs of anti-malware to include (but not necessarily limited to) AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton.

    So, probably your antivirus product has disabled Windows Defender. If so, you should not try to turn on WD.

    See you soon,.
