Windows or any other program can not find cd/dvd drive.

CD/dvd drive opens accepts the disc closes and nothing happens, if I select a program to read, he says no supported drive found. If I open my computer, the drive E is not indicated.

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.

Hope these helps.

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Historical files can not find my USB drive.

    I think I should have created this problem myself by removing something that I wouldn't on 19/04/15. That said I think I should be able to have the file history find my USB hard drive. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the drive several times, tried different ports several times, I have set all permissions for all users and restarted after each step. I made sure the computer see the drive in devices under USB devices and readers. I formatted the drive and can drag and drop to and from the drive. I plugged in a flash drive and run the history file to it and worked until he ran out of memory. When I try to run the history file it looks like for the flash player and I said need to plug in, I choose select drive and it rises, "no usable disc found", I don't understand how historical files can not find my USB drive when all other aspects of Windows 8.1 can. I spent enough hours for the moment that in failure.

  • Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

    I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

    Do you mean you see a message like this?

    Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

    If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

    Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

    You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

    Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

    Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

    When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

    Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

    Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

    You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

    Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

    The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

    The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

    If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

    If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

    If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Hello
    The laptop is running. And we are justified. I just talked to the man who has done the work to local ghe Geek Squad. He proceeded as follows:

    1 update the Windows operating system (OS to nu xxp) to service pack 3 using available cds which I did have.
    2 went to another computer and downloaded the drivers HP form.
    3 installed the drivers and it went online as a champion.

    Apparently the version of xp was so old that the drivers, I downloaded from HP on another computer and burn it to a cd, simply move in the laptop.

    So, no way we could proceed without saving this service 1 one 3 discs. I had actually tried to download these service packs, but all I could get was service pack 1a .who might also do not install.

    Thanks again. you were right on target, but I couldn't do it.

  • Windows Explorer and other programs will not open / work

    Can anyone help? In XP Home Edition, programs as internet explore/microsoft works work only sporadically, but often does not open and then I asks me to send an error report. When I try to stop, Windows Explorer will not work and asks me to send another report of error! ... Can not much experience with these things someone explain what I can do? (I ran a virus scan, and all seems ok)
    Thank you

    Hi Mike,.

    According to my experience, this kind of behaviour is symptomatic of the corruption of data on the hard drive. However, since you say that these applications work sometimes I am inclined to suspect that your hard drive may be failing, possibly with errors in sector where those applications reside.

    I suggest that you take a backup copy of the any of your own data files and then run a CHKDSK command on your hard drive to see what he finds (this can make a right click on the HARD drive in my computer icon, then select Properties, then the Tools tab.) Check disk utility is at the top).

    If it detects too many bad sectors, and then looking to replace the hard drive and reinstalling your system.

    Kind regards
