WIN VISTA: After installing new drivers through the utility Dell to keep the PC to date, DVD not working anymore (and not located in the bios Setup)

When starting, it not recognizing my DVD drive more.  I went into the bios setup and it does not appear in there.   I have to re - install the bios?  or ....???

Hello

If the drive does not appear in the BIOS, there is a hardware problem - either with the player, wiring,
or the motherboard interface circuits.

Check with a real computer store (the one that makes its own internal circuits and not of leeks and poster
a Best Buy or other stores) or Support of Dell.

  • Printer does not print after installing new ink cartridges

    I have a Lexmark X 2500 printer. After installing new print cartridges, the printer gives me the error message to order more ink. The printer does not recognize the new ink cartridges that have been installed.  There is a warning on the ink cartridges to do not touch the contacts on the bottom of the cartridges.

  • SE error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "When you try to install new drivers for DVD players

    Original title: CD/DVD drives do not work after upgrade from XP to Vista

    I upgraded my dell E521 to Vista dimension, but now finds that none of the CD/DVD drives work.  I also tried two external drives, same thing.  I downloaded the new drivers for the internal disks and when I tried to install the windows said they already had the best drivers.  Both drives are TSST - I get device status "windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "I want to upgrade to 7, but can not run the dvd, and apparently MS has no download available if you purchase cd!  Am tearing my hair!

    Hi krt2,

    In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

    Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

    c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

    d. restart your computer.

    Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

    See the links below for more details on the update of drivers:

  • After installing new cartridges, printer icon says printer is off line. Tried to go in the passage of the off-line online, without any change.

    The printer itself doesn't seem to be the problem. Have disconnected the cables, and the message is offline, offline. Reconnect and he said just in offline mode. This makes me think that it is a software that I'm not waking up switching.

    I did the online diagnostics and he thinks that the printer is turned off. But it's not. Were do form here?

  • "Extraction failure: cannot open output file" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I am trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 printer.  I downloaded the complete drivers of features for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:

    Extraction failed

    Cannot open output file

    And the process ends.  He arrived at about 85% extraction every time.

    No idea why?  I called HP, but no longer under warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - not even give me basic support?  Poor, poor customer service.

    Hi GIJeff12,

    Temporarily disable any AntiVirus/Antispyware software.

    Cut the installer on your desktop then click on the Start Menu, click computer, double-click on the C: drive and paste the installler here.  Now try a right click on the installer for your printer, choose 7-Zip and choose Extract the files, and then click Ok.  If the installation program extracts now correctly, follow these steps.  If it does not extract, let me know.

    Disconnect your printer from the PC.  Restart your PC.

    Open the newly extracted folder and double-click the setup application to start the installation (the installation application will probably have the same icon as the original installation software that you downloaded).  Connect the printer to your computer when you are asked.

    If it was a success, re - enable your security software.

    Best wishes

  • After installing new ink cartridge cannot print from ipad hp 5510 series

    Unable to print from the iPad after installing new ink cartridge in a printer hp 5510.

    I can print from the laptop based on windows.

    the two settled on a wireless router.

    Help!

    (I reinstalled the software, reset the wireless, reset the computer, the hp 5519 is listed as the default printer.)

    Thanks for your reply. I did all these things and more... Finally observed that the IP address of the printer was 2 'off' the IP address of the iPad numbers.

    I've corrected the printer IP addy... and viola.

    IPad and laptop computer are once more compatible with the printer.

    Appreciate your message...
