  My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

  When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

  A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.

  Hello mike salinas.

  1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

  2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

  I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

  Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

  You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

  Thank you

• WINDOWS does not recognize my cd/dvd drive

  Windows stopped to recognize my cd/dvd drive. I can not read or write discs. I tried the Microsoft Mr.FixIt and it keeps saying "an unexpected error has occurred please try again later." I don't know what else to do. I've tried everything. The player is not yet in Control Panel under devices. And I don't know wut luk in the BIOS.

  Hello

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  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 loose 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.

  I hope this helps and happy holidays!

  I guess that you do not see the CD/DVD drive in MY computer area.
  Right?

  I think I can help you
  First go to Device Manager and search for CD/DVD drive.
  Select this device and delete it from the list.

  Now, open the registry (type regedit in the search) and remove the filters above and below to the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control \Class \{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Windows 7 does not recognize Fallout 3 DVD - can not browse or run the Launcher

  I have a version of Fallout 3, I could make it work fine on my Vista system. Now I have Windows 7 on a new machine and went for a new installation. The CPU does not seem to recognize the contents of the drive - unable to sail on him, does nothing when it is inserted into the DVD player. Ask me to format the drive if I drive to "run" then "D:\setup.exe".

  How can I fix it?

  I've upated Windows Live, but don't think that is the question.

  It is a problem with your DVD player drivers more than probable. I try to download the drivers or the latest firmware from the site of the manufacturer of your computer and see if that helps.

• Windows 7 does not recognize or play DVDs in the player

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C655D under Windows 7 Home Premium.  A few months ago, I noticed that some DVD would not play on my DVD player, but others.  At first I thought it was just the DVD that I was getting their local library and the other that I got from Redbox worked.  Now no DVD does not work.  When I go to Windows Explorer with the installed dvd it shows nothing.  If I right click on properties it wants me to install a CD and open the drawer.  I checked Device Manager and reinstalled the driver software, nothing helps.  Windows Media Center does not show a DVD or the other.  The computer will recognize the CD and it will play videos from a cd in other formats, who told me that the laser works very well for the DVD player.  I downloaded VLC, which is supposed to provide necessary codecs for most all files.  I am at my witts on that end and would appreciate any help.  Thank you
