Why my DVD player will not see the disc of Windows 7 Installation?

The TEAC DV-W58E DVD on my Dimension PC drive will play videos and games and will read and write data on DVD.

Why he won't see the Windows 7 Installation disc that has delivered today? It's the only drive, that he has never read. He don't think that the drive is empty, sees just 0 used bytes, free 0 bytes.

The drive is seen by the two other PCs but not one I want to install W7 on.

My PC runs XP Professional and the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor test and is up-to-date with Windows Update and has the latest driver for the DVD drive.

I can't install the new operating system unless I can get the PC to read the disc.

Cause the most likely not to read the DVD, is that its firmware is too old.  Double layer and encryption more recent methods are old 1 x, 2 x and 4 x dvd drives cannot read 16 x media recorded.

Windows 7 has some minimum requirements.

Windows 8 adds a lot of SPECIFIC requirements as NX Bit is supported in the BIOS.

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

  • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or (x 64) 64-bit processor

  • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit), this excludes most INTEL 815 chipset

    Pentium 3 systems.  512 Meg is MAX for the 815 chipset.

  • 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

  • Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

    People,
    I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.

    I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

    Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
    Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

    Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
    But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
    However, nothing is impossible.

    What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

  • Equim M40x: DVD player will not change the region even with 1 change remaining

    I have a Toshiba Equim M40x with a carpet * a DVD - Ram drive 830 s. My children recently tried to play a region 2 dvd and it failed with the message the DVD player is set in a different region.

    When I went into Device Manager to change the region (it was set to 1), it showed that I had a chance to change.
    However, when I tried to change it, I received an error message: "unable to update region setting. Please make sure the drive contains a region 2 media and you have the privilege of the administration. »

    I tried to put a region 2 dvd in the drive and I have the privilege of the administration and it still does not work.
    I then went looking for firmware free region for this disc, and of course, it does not exist.

    Help!

    Hello

    It of not possible to unlock the DVD player on a legal way.
    Of course, I found many sites that suggest that it of possible to unlock the firmware flash drive.
    But believe me; It is not desirable and very risky!
    You may damage the disc and then you can not read or burn CD or DVD media!

    I assume that you have already changed the region 5 times code. In such cases, it s already locked.

  • DVD player continues to 'see' the disc that was removed

    I downloaded a free video player to play a dvd of an old movie family (Windows Media doesn't play) and when you're done, I removed the dvd from the drive.  I have two disk drives, both will play cd or dvd and it will burn.  I loaded a different dvd to access the old pictures and everytime I try to access, the computer shows that the files of the old family movie DVD is in the drive.  That is, the player no longer recognizes the new dvd and continues instead to 'think' the older video is in the drive.  I uninstalled the video player software.  I have cd of music will play in the drive, but the different dvd does not get recognized.  Y at - it a fix for this conflict?

  • I have a pavilion p6130fpc and it will not see the drives.

    I have a pavilion p6130fpc that will not see the drives. I tried 3 different hard drives and change the cable and port twice. I have also reset the BIOS and pressed the power button for five seconds after you disconnect without success. Someone at - it any other ideas?

    Willman,

    Unfortunately you are not alone. HP has sold a lot of different models with the M2N78 - motherboard. The problem is that the manufacturer of the Board of Directors (not HP) set up a controller chip NVidia which tended to overheat. Once this chip goes, ur stuck. The SATA ports are controlled by this chip.
