Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

"Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

and ASUS.

I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

    If you are using a CD to upgrade of Windows 8, then there not all reinstall the files included for a full Windows.

    Your best option is to use the recovery partition on your hard disk or the recovery CD from your PC back to Windows 7. Then Windows 7 SP1 upgrade and get all updates. Then, move to Windows 8 again.

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

    Hi storm36,

    You must have the Windows XP disk to repair Windows. As the CD/DVD drive is not getting detected, we recommend you try the following steps and check the result.

    Step 1: Check if the device is detected in the BIOS (basic input/output device)
    a. start your computer and press on delete key continuously to see the BIOS.
    b. check if the CD/DVD device is detected.
    c. If this isn't the case, then unplug the unit and he reconnected inside the CPU/Tower.
    d. check the result.

    Step 2: If the device is detected in the BIOS, try the following steps:
    a. start your computer and boot to the desktop.
    b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    c. select my computer, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
    d. check if the CD/DVD device is listed in the list.

    Step 3: If the problem persists, restore the computer
    see How to restore Windows XP to a previous state .
    b. Once you have restored the computer, check if the CD/DVD drive is visible.

  • D/DVD-ROM drive cannot read the CD or DVD

    Hello

    I use Windows Vista on my laptop. Its quite some time that I did not use my DVD/CD drive. Today, I try to use but cannot read any CD or DVD. I was trying to solve the problem of updating the drive, but still cannot fix. Can I use Microsoft FIX IT microsoft support but the problem still there.

    Something to say: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration (in the registry) information is incomplete or damage (Code 19).

    Click on 'Search the soluton' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    I did it but the result is COULD NOT LOAD DRIVER SOFTWARE.

    Please advise what should I do?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It is very rare for the methods in the 1st answer above does not fix a Code 19.

    You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
    DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    In Device Manager, my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. I tried to use the online solution to correct, but it does not find a solution. I also tried to update the software, but no luck there. Help, please.
    Thank you
    iSavage

    First thought: try reading the Windows Installation DVD.  If it works, then your player works properly, at least a little.

    Next: You tried to update the drivers for the CD/DVD in Device Manager?  Generally, Windows is plug and play for this type of devices.  This means that if you install, Windows will load the proper drivers and they will work.

    So-
    If you have restarted?
    Did you test the drive?
    Try to uninstall the driver in the device and restart Manager.
    Have you looked in the BIOS to see if the CD-ROM drive is activated?

    It is generally true that a yellow triangle mean a driver problem.
    That it should be fixed by uninstalling the driver and restarting.

    If you still have problems, post ack with more details and we'll see what we can do for you.

    See you soon!

  • How can I fix an error code 10 with my dvd/cd rom drive?

    Hello

    I have vista a window and my dvd rom drive has an error 10 code on it. He has demonstrated since the end of August and I'm not sure how to get rid or correct the problem. I was wondering if I did system restore to the day before where the error showed that would work? Although I don't know how to that date on the restoration of the system, I thought I'd ask. I have a hp pavilion dv9000 and I tried to delete the upperfilter thing and even used Microsoft solve this quiet a few times and nothing has worked, and since I downloaded Service Pack 2 a week ago he would keep trying to disappear and reappear in my device manager. So if there is anyway you can help please let me know!

    Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

    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.

    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
