Windows 7 does not recognize the dvd/cd drive
I can not access my dvd/cd drive. It shows nothing in my device manager.
I tried a restore which only goes back to December 25, 2015, but without previous restore points available.
Also, I went into regedit and delete upper and lower filters in the appropriate class file. Cd player opens and closes, but that's all. No recognition of windows 7 that it still exists.
Please notify.
Thank you
Ron
It is probably a failure or has failed.
If yours is a desktop PC, the replacement is easy and inexpensive - like $20
If yours is a laptop, the replacement is not easy and can be expensive. However, just a much cheaper solution is to buy an external DVD device that connects via USB for about $25.

What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?
Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive. The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation
My Pavilion hard drive died. I ordered a new identical and it arises. Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player. But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further. Is the new drive dead too? Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that? Thank you!!
I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now. To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here. In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out. Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see the DVD - ram UJ-850 s
Hello
I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD - ram. BIOS recognize DVD-ram. I tried to download the drivers for the DVD-ram, but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.
Hello
The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?
There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
It of necessary to update the registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}1. click on the start menu.
2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
5. restart Windows.
6 let me know if it works. -
Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup
Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios
OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.
The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.
This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.
Seems odd.
The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

Hello
I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...
When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...
Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive
Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years. Now I can't access it to install new software.
It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.
It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management. If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?
What now? Is turn off the power, my only option? What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive
I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.
Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.
The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.
I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.
Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.
This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

If it just happened all of a sudden, you can restore the registry files of the system in working order by following option n ° 1 on this page. If this does not work, you can be reasonably sure that the configuration of the system is not the problem and start looking into other possibilities as a broken drive or a bad connection inside the cable.
