DV9000 No longer recognizes my CD-ROM drive

 HI guys, I am by no means a computer guy, but I have been trying to figure out why my laptop no longer recognizes my CD drive.  It had the 3 yellow exclimation points in the devise manager, 2 for Base System Device and 1 for Coprocesser.  I updated the drivers which did get rid of the exclimation points, but now my CD drive is no longer listed in the Device manager.  I did an internet search and it says I need to delete the upper and lower filters, but when I go to the registy as I am instructed there are no listings for either one.  Someone suggersted I install a virtual drive so I downloaded magicdisc which did bring the CD-ROM entry back to the device manager but its only the one for magicdisc, my origanal drive is still not recognized.  I have tried everything and would really appreciate any help you can offer.  Thanks

Hi:
You can try one of the resolution steps, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
One of those steps will normally resolve the problem.

The other problem that could be specifically related to your dv9xxx model, is the fact that the motherboard is going out and picked just now to do so.
Some of the most common problems with the dv9xxx motherboards are the sudden and unexplainable disappearances of:
Wireless
Audio
DVD drive
Video
These problems are all related to the motherboard defects that were prevalent in this model, and the only resolution you would have would be to replace the motherboard (not recommended), or use an external USB DVD drive.

    Solved the problem by dumping my external HD onto another computer. Re-formatting and re-installing the data.  Not what I wanted to do but it solved the problem.

  • I'm running Windows 7 and my Pavillion dv6500 no longer recognizes the CD/DVR drive. Help?

    I installed Windows 7 and my Pavillion dv6500 no longer recognizes the CD/DVR drive.
    It's not even in the device list!

    Hi:
    What is the specific dv6500 model you have?  If you don't know, please look for the product code which is on the same sticker as the serial number and post it.
    It is possible your notebook may need the chipset driver installed.

  • Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
    Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
    If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.

  • My mac book doesn't no longer recognizes my wd  hard drive

    running mountain lion 10.8.2 ...my macbook no longer recognizes my wed external hard drive is there a way I can fix this>
    thank
    Glenda

    Since you haven't provided any helpful information all I can suggest is this:
    Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. If the drive does not appear in DU's sidebar listing, then it most likely has died and needs to be replaced. Take it into Apple for service.

  • IPhoto No longer recognizes Library on External Drive

    I am in (a little) trouble. I had my iPhoto library created and maintained on an external NAS drive, accessed through my Airport Extreme. For about 5 months, all worked fine. One recent day, my NAS was no longer recognized and I had to fiddle with some of the AE and network settings. Now, iPhoto doesn't recognize my library.
    That is, the iPhoto library folder is still in my external HD, but when I try to open iPhoto, it says it can't find the library. When I point it to the iPhoto library on the external HD, I get nada.
    I am only in a little trouble because all of the pictures are still in the iPhoto Library > Original folder, so I can create a new iPhoto Library with them. But if I do this on the external drive, it works only for that session: when I reboot the HD, I get the same problem as above.
    This is weird given that it worked fine for 5 months. Any ideas?

    Yes. Are you importing an entire library folder into an new library? That would give that message for any non image file in the library, including the database file, Library.iPhoto. If you want to create a new library and import the files form an old one, just import the Originals folder. That way you won't get the thumbnail files imported as regular photo files.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Time Machine no longer recognizes my WD portable drive for storage

    The portable drive use to work fine for storage for my time machine. Now the drive does not show in desktop when plugged in. Time machine is directing me to set up but does not recognize any device. Thank you for any help.
    J.

    Same exact thing happened to me... Time Machine ceased to recognize external drive - stopped backing up (obviously) then drive would no longer appear on desktop. After multiple reboots, plug/unplug, and cable jiggling - the drive returned to the desktop... Time Machine STILL does not see it. Using Disk Utilities to verify - hopefully repair. Many errors appearing in log! Isn't it a little odd that so many external drives of different models are all failing while using the same program... ?

  • A505-S6005 No Longer Recognizes Disks in CD Drive

    My A505-S6005 laptop no longer sees discs in the DVD/CD drive.  Explorer still shows the drive, Hardware Manager says the driver is current and that the device is working properly, but nothing I put into it is recognized or accessible.  I don't know if this is a Toshiba problem or a Windows 7 issue. Any suggestions?  

    Looks like a hardware issue.  
    Can you try booting off a Boot CD or DVD.  Try going into windows in Safe mode.  This will help narrow down the problem.  
    Good Luck,

  • MacBook Pro no longer recognizes USB external hard drives or built-in iSight

    I have an older MacBook Pro 17" Intel that I use with various external USB hard drives (8 of them). It is connected to my LG 720p 32" flatscreen and works perfectly. Recently, when visiting, I disconnected my external HDs and connected my MBP to my brother's LG 1080p and it was OK.
    When I returned home and reconnected my external HDs and TV, it would not recognize the HDs and couldn't find my built-in iSight. Viewing System Information, the USB buses showed an assortment of items, such as the Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad, IR Receiver, and Bluetooth USB Host Controller in the buses. The High-Speed Bus showed an external HD as a Vendor-Specific Device, but none of these appeared on the desktop. I plugged in my external iSight to Firewire and it showed up in Photobooth, iChat, and Skype.
    What is the problem and can I fix it myself or must I take it to be serviced?
    Has anyone encountered the same problem? Got any answers?
    I really would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

    I have never heard of this before, but the fact that your external iSight works shows that at least some parts of your Macv's AV circuitry are undamaged. 
    Depending on exactly how you "disconnected" your "external HDs and connected" your "MBP to" your "brother's LG 1080p", I suppose it is possible that your software settings have been compromised somehow.   Here is what I would try if my system showed the symptoms you describe.
    (0) Start by making a current backup if you do not already have one.
    Then try any of the following you have not already considered or used.  Use them in any order you think appropriate and test after each one to determine if the problem is resolved:
    (1) Shut down (do not merely restart) your MBP.  Wait a couple of minutes before starting.
    (2) Test in a different user (NOT the "Guest") account: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mtusr001.html
    (3) Reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    (4) Reset PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
    (5) Repair your startup disk: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1718.html
    (6) Reinstall Lion and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    (7) Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service

  • MacBook No Longer Recognizes WD External Hard Drive

    I've trying to back up to my WD 1tb external hard drive, but my MacBook (2009) doesn't recognize it, which is strange because I've never had this problem before. I tried opening Disk Utilities but it doesn't show up there, either. I guess it's possible this is an issue with the drive, but like I said, I've never had a problem with it before and it seems to turn on fine when I plug it in. Currently running OS X 10.9.5. Really sorry if this is vague, I'm pretty lost and really desperate because I had a lot of important files saved on that backup disc. Any thoughts or advice would be really appreciated!

    The WD hard drive itself is probably fine, the enclosure has likely failed. WD externals are notorius for cheap enclosures failing. Try a different cable first. You can take the drive out and install it in a better enclosure, like one from OWC.

  • Help! My T61 suddenly no longer recognizes my DVD-RAM drive!

    Today I tried to retrieve some photos from a DVD and then a CD placed into my T61s DVD RAM (Mat**bleep**a UJ-852 ATA) ... and the drive was not recognized by the system.  It was not displayed in the "My Computer" listing.  The drive powered up whenever I insert a disk, but nothing else happened. 
    The device properties box says:
    "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    "Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
    But when I check, the system replies came back that the proper driver was already installed ... and that there was nothing else out there that was a "solution". 
    What can solve this sudden problem?
    Many thanks,
    -- Mike in San Jose

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!  A variation of the latter seems to have worked and restored the DVD-RAM to proper working order:
    1) Disable drive
    2) Uninstall drive
    3) Remove drive
    4) Shutdown
    5) Restart
    6) Insert drive ... system recognized the drive, loaded the drivers and operation has been normal.
    Thanks for the tip. (I had disabled and removed/inserted it before, with no success.  But until reading your note, I did not have a shutdown/restart in between.)

  • My iMac no longer recognizes external firewire WD drives.

    This has occured twice in the past few months.  The first drive was a WD My Book Studio 2TB configured as Raid 1.  The more recent occurance on a WD My Book 4TB configured as Raid 1 and housing iTunes :-(  The later occurred after loading the latest Lion Update after the iMac rebooted.  Error messages say neither of the drives are recognized.  Based on my thought that the issue might have been generated by the drives not properly being dismounted on a shutdown, I swithed the drives over to a PC, successfully mounted them, and then dismounted them.  They are still not recognized by the iMac.  The Disk Utility gives me an error regardless if I try to mount or dismount the drives despite it indicating the drives are not mounted.  The iTunes drive is backed up as well as the Mac; but, I do not know what to do to fix the WD drives and I am especially leary of connecting anymore firewire drives since this appears to be hapening way too often and I do not know why.  Any help from a great sage would be greatly appreciated, especially if I can recover the two drives.
    Thanks,Glenn
