• CD Rom and DVD Rom not reading discs

  Hello

  My CD/DVD-rom is not reading any music cd or a DVD movie that I insert in the drive. I looked in the currency manager and the samsung cdrw/dvdsm-352F material displays a yellow exclamation point. It gives me a code 41. He says that the hardware is installed, but cannot read the device.  Can you please let me know how I can fix this.  Thank you!

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART 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 coward
  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.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry settings for your
  CD/DVD drive someone with the same model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  Hello

  If you have tried all of these methods, it sounds like the drive has a problem
  may be due to wear or age, they go wrong.

  "BTW, by"reading"discs, I hope you meant"burn"as a blank disc.
  cannot be read because it does nothing about it. If the unit of optical burning failed
  a black disc is not recognized or burned.

  Try the drive in another computer and try another drive in your computer.

  I hope this helps.

• DVD ROM not reading CD

  Hello world

  System manufacturer: DELL Inc..

  System model: Vostro 1015

  OS: Windows 7 64-bit

  I'm having a problem with dvd - ROM does not detect not the disc?

  The player turns upward discs at all?  If so, see the next step.  If not, the drive is toast - replace it with a new one.

  If the disc is spinning, but it will not read the system, start safe mode (press F8 repeatedly until WIndows starts loading).  See that if the system will read the disc in safe mode - if it is, you have a driver problem.  If you have any CD/DVD software installed in read/write, uninstall, reboot and reinstall.

  If the drive will not read a disc even in safe mode, it's the toast - replace the drive.

  Hello!

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD, and then restart the laptop. It work?

  If this isn't the case, you should try to remove the upper and lower filters:
  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• CD/DVD does not read discs on Pavilion G6 2293SA laptop computer running Windows 8 :(

  Hey there

  I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

  I bought the G6 Pavilion in November last year. When I got home I went to a recognize (as recommended) recovery disks but the laptop there is a blank disc in the drive. I tried a couple of different brands, but nothing worked and I got to the PC world. They couldn't work out what the problem was if gave me a replacement, and exactly the same thing happened. They claimed that it was probably one of the "many problems with window 8'. Finally, I tried some Sony DVD - R discs and it worked (hooray!).

  However, since that time the player rarely works properly. It seems to work ok program disks, but don't like them burn all discs. It has never worked through iTunes, for a few days, it let me burn some discs of music with Cyberlink Power2Go but it no longer works.

  Sometimes when I go hard disk it will say there is no disk in it (when it exists) or is it in use? We'll see what he does today... OK, Virgin (Sony CD - RW) drive... the hard disk is whirring... but nothing happens on the screen. OK, navigate to my computer... Double-click the icon and it says: "How do you use this disk" and gives me two options: "as a USB' or 'player with a CD/DVD '. However, it only allows me to choose the first option (which I don't) and even if I click ok on the flash drive option, it says that the drive must be formatted, mess around trying to do for about 10 minutes and then says format failed.

  Can anyone suggest anything? PC World that it is a software problem and my problem (thank you guys). Really grateful for any help.

  See you soon

  Paul

  I suggest using the corresponding update firmware in the driver download section.  Who looks more like a problem of hardware/firmware for me. Use Device Manager to select the firmware update software good optical disc. If the firmware update does not resolve the problem, thencontact HPfor warranty repair.

• DVD player not reading disc or disc.

  Hello

  I bought a 4545 s of HP ProBook Windows 7 64 bit pro service pack 1 last year and never try to use the cd-rom drive. I wanted the cd/dvd drive, think someday I might want to burn a cd or dvd.

  When I tried to burn a cd/dvd, I realized that the system is not identifying or disc. When I try to launch disk troubleshooting thanks to HP support assistant, it prompted: an accur error while troubleshooting. An unexpected error has occurred. The Troubleshooting Wizard can not continue. ». Given error code was 0 x 80070057.

  I opened the Device Manager and go back to hp UJ8D1 DVD-RAM SATA device. CdRom installed. When I click the icon it prompt "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

  Does it means that I have to uninstall and reinstall?

  All the system and software has been updated.

  The software/driver came with it when I bought it and I never change anything whatsoever and never tested until now and when I went to HP it said that my warranty has expired. So unfair.

• Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  VLC Media Player

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find also 2 Firmware updates.
  Check which drive you unit and try to update the firmware.
  Also try installing the DVD ram driver.

• DRAC 5 installation media: "Selection of CD/DVD-ROM not valid."

  I connect to a Drac 5 with firmware version 1.33 using 32 bit Firefox 2.0.0.20 as downloaded from Mozilla.org running on CentOS 5.2.

  It seems to me installing the Console and media attach the plug-ins OK, but I get a problem when I try to join a DVD-ROM. I select the ISO from Centos 5.2 image, but when I press the Connect button I get a pop-up indicating that "the page at https://192.168.108.102 says: ' then 'selection of CD/DVD-ROM not valid.'.

  If I try the same thing using IE 7 under Windows, it will connect, but since I don't have Windows in the data center is too slow and no use for me to try to connect a DVD over the WAN.

  I searched Google and found nothing documenting this error so I am a bit stuck as to what it means and what to do about it.

  I tried to run firefox as root also in case the plugin was trying to cordon the ISO file.

  I also eliminated any firewall blocking the ports.

  This problem is related to Internet Explorer 8.
  The error can be resolved by adding the IP address as a trusted site in Internet Explorer 8.

  Hello

  Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
  external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
  and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.

  I hope this helps.
