  Hello

  I don't know what the problem is.

  I went on the internet and found no solution.

  Please help me.
  It is not a software problem, because my laptop does not start the DVD, but due to the CD...

  Hello

  The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
  Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
  In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
  In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.

  But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.
  I don't very well if this will help but it s worth to try m

• Pavilion a6220n does not read DVD but CD ok

  I have a Pavilion a6220n running Windows Vista Home Premium, I intend to upgrade to Windows 7.

  But just in time, I noticed that he doesn't read or write DVD, work of the fine conference.

  I'd like to get this fixed first as in order to move to W7, I will have the DVD player works as it should read the file from W7 ISO located on a DVD-R.

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, also deleted down filters, no help.

  I also restored the Factory Default Vista and still it will not read the DVD.

  When I insert the DVD just, it is there and does nothing, when I click on the DVD drive in my computer it ejects the disc saying

  "Please insert a disk in the drive.

  I tried several different discs DVD, DVD - R and DVD - RW, same problem.

  These DVD drives work fine on other computers.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  May be that the DVD drive on your computer has become defective. its not the unheard. Try using an external USB DVD drive to install Windows 7. The DVD inside your system is very easy to replace.

• DVD-RW/CD-RW Combo does not read DVD but can play CD

  I used to have Windows XP on my laptop. I then decided to do a fresh install of Vista. Since I've upgraded to Vista, I put a DVD, then it asks me to "Please insert the disc in drive E". I have the latest firmware and have obtained the Windows drivers.

  I really need my DVD player so I can watch movies on a holiday. Any help appreciated

  Hello!

  The sound of it, looks like a hardware problem but on the other hand as you say that the problem has occurred after that you installed Vista. For this, there are very less reasons. but you can try the following, if it works.

  1. go in Device Manager, click on the dvd/cd rom drives and do a right-click of your player, click on uninstall and then you restart. The reader will be installed again when you restart. get a disc cleaner for dvd lens and clean you drive with it.

  If the first did not help

  2. If you can do it yourself its good else take your laptop to a Mech and tell him to remove the drive and start the computer. then stop it and install the drive into the slot, tighten the screw and start your computer. This could help.

  on the other

  3. check if you insert a dvd does show all of the data at all? If another player gains a firend or ask Mech. install another drive and check it works.

• does not read dvd-video

  My Envy 17-1181nr just got Win7, reinstalled by HP.  Now, the player plays BluRay very well but does not read the DVD-video.  The drive makes noise, a video DVD of loading then the video starts and stops a few seconds.  I uninstalled the device and reinstalled with the updated drivers.  Suggestions welcome.  Bill

  Hi Bill,

  My mistake, I forgot that your laptop is a slot player.

  You should find that any store computer will store a disc, which you can load into the reader who will perform the cleanup - the disc itself was fine on brushes that will clean the lens.  The only point I want to emphasize, is to make sure that when you ask one of these discs, make sure what you say it's for portable optical drive as some are not suitable for the drives in the computer.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A40: Drive does not read CD but DVD

  I have a SatA40 (now almost 3 years ago) and cd/dvd unit does not work well, the cd cannot read or write, but the dvd reads all my DVDs.

  Does anyone have an idea why we don't have, and the other does not? (Everyone I mention that he thinks it's strange - thought if does not work the other shouldn't be.)

  Hello

  You sounds of description as the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Usually before the player will read or write the middle of what the lens must be calibrated.
  In you case the lens can not calibrate and that's why the drive does not recognize the CD.

  Usually in this case, the drive must be replaced.
  But maybe you are a lucky man. Try to clean the lens gently. But be careful

• After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

  Hey,.

  Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

  In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

  However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
  When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
  After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

  Thank you

  PS I have a Satellite L30-101

  I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

• Windows 8 does not recognize DVD drive

  Hello world. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8 Pro, my laptop HP Pavilion 1287la g4, 64-bit. I used a Windows 8 Pro DVD to upgrade, everything was going well after the upgrade as fully recognized pilots, tool integration, and all my personal files were saved.

  The only problem I found is that after the upgrade of the DVD drive is not recognized. It actually isn't even in the devices. I contacted Hp and they were able to help me make the drive detectable, but now I see that the icon of the DVD in the devices shows a yellow warning, which means that the driver of this material is not found or is corrupted. I did everything that I can to search for the driver, but still the BONE says it's updated with a generic driver. However, the reader does not always show upward. Please help with a better solution. I really like Windows 8 and I don't want to go back and upgrade to Windows 7 again. Thanks in advance.

  Try the following steps:

  1. run the command as administrator prompt. Type cmd in Windows 8 modern user interface and press HUMINT + shift + enter

  2 type following and say enter

  Reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" / f/v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

  3. reboot the system
