Hello ,My DVD RW Driver (F, in my HP Pavilion dv7-3186cl Entertainment Notebook PC / Operating System 64-bit, after installing new hardware ( printer ) can not read CD’s or DVD’s is not working ,How can I fix it?

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the relevant link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

  • ITunes Error when using Nas drive..Error occurred while converting the file the disk can not read from or written to

    This is the error I get only when trying to convert a file to AAC.  I have my itunes library stored on a network drive it all works fine I can add files sync files with my devices exc.  Only when I dry to convert a flie from mp3 to AAC do I get this error.  Any one have any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Rick

    I wonder if the disk being referred to is actually your iPod which is not plugged in. Maybe something has stuck thinking the iPod should be there.
    Try completely removing all the iTunes related programs according to this method.

    Restart you PC and see if startup improves.
    If it doesn't improve you need to consider the possibility that there is something else going on.
    If The problem goes away, hopefully a fresh install will be OK.

  • DVD module of this G60-231WM notebook can not be accessed

    HP Notebook G60-231WM with Vista Home Premium Op system. The DVD module of this notebook
    can not be accessed.  Thank you, Pete Reno  

    poptang, welcome to the forum,
    please try the following: when you have shut down the system, remove and then replace the drive. Instructions can be found here. (I know they're for a T61, but it's the same method for a T400). Then at boot press F1 (for BIOS) or F12 (for Boot Menu), and see if you are able to open the drive.
    Please let us know if this helps.

  • Can not read or write to mac hard drive error

    When attempting to transfer music files from an external usb harddrive formatted in windows into Itunes, I can only successfully import a small fraction of the music, and then its stops with a error, that the Mac HD can not read or write files.

    It's possible the file names have some 'funky' characters in them that the Mac doesn't like ?
    What format is the external drive ?

    my up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

    No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

    hi LBB!
    you've got a Packard Bell.
    can you go into your Device Manager for me? Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and then click "Device Manager".
    is there an error message citing "code 41" showing up next to the CD in Device Manager?
    (we've got techniques for dealing with the Packard-Bell-code-41-optical-drive-disappearances, but i just want to make sure that's what we're dealing with in your case.)
    love, b

  • Blu-Ray DVD's doesn't play in HP Pavilion dv7-1020us Notebook Pc

    Hi All,
    I came across a issue that " HP Pavilion dv7-1020us NB PC ALL" is not able to play new Blu-ray DVD's like movies. It just pushes out the disc, doesn't even read them.
    Tried in all the updated players by HP like HP Media smart.
    Tried in Cyberlink Power DVD version 10. 
    Searched for new firmware from the manufacturer page but failed to get any of the them. I have seen few post related to this but going again with this to get any new updates if there.
    Here are the details of  the DVD drive.

  • New external hard drive froze while transferring info to new computer. Laptop does not read external hard drive. Went to Apple store and didn't work. Any suggestions?

    Day 1. Went to Apple store because iMovie was not working. It kept shutting down. Prior to going to the store, I called Apple Support and deleted and reinstalled iMovie. Still did not work. Then I went to the Apple Store. After an hour it finally worked but when I got home, it didn't work AND my iPhoto application was missing. Tried to back up on external hard drive but it didnt work.
    Day 2. Explained the situation again to Apple employee at Apple Store. I bought an external hard drive that employee recommended and picked out. I went home and backed up my computer on the external HD.
    Day 3 (morning). Went back to Apple. Employee verified that my hard drive was backed up successfully. All my photos, music, and documents were successfully backed up. He was going to reinstall the operating system. He did that successfully. He showed me how to install the external HD info to the laptop. I went home and followed the directions. It was going to take about 2 hours. I kept monitoring the progress and everything looked good until....30 minutes remained. 30 minutes remained for a good 20 minutes. The ext hard drive stopped responding. I tried to canel but there were no buttons to push. I exited the program. I called apple support and they tried to walk me through it. My computer still was not recognizing that the exteranl HD was plugged in. I mad another trip to the Apple store and the emplyee confirmed that the extranal HD was not reading. He tried plugging it in to his computer and it still wasnt reading.
    He did give me a data recovery number to call. I asked if Apple would cover the cost and he said no. I called then and was quoted $700-$2000 to recover the data.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? When frustrates me more is that I followed every instruction and I did exactly what Apple told me to do. Now, ALL of my data is lost and Apple does not want to help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I need help. =*(

    Hi rkaufmann--
    Thanks for the response.  I can say with confidence that that is not the issue.  I have at least 8 of these same WD external portable drives that are powered through their USB 3.0 cables, and I have never had problems with any of them.  Sometimes I connect them directly to my computer, and sometimes I use a powered hub.  Either way they work fine.  The drives with their own power source do not suit my needs.
    My question is specifically whether anyone has seen an issue where sometimes they plug a drive in and it is not recognized but then it continues to work.  In other words, the question I'm posing to other users is whether it sometimes happens that they connect a drive and it simply doesn't show up, but then they disconnect and reconnect and it goes on working fine as it should.

  • My time machine back up error and now it says it can not read my external hard drive

    I have a MacBook Pro Yosemite ...... I was backing up to a WD Elements external hard drive disk and I was in mid back up and everything was going fine..... then an error and when I went back to it ..... it said it no longer can read my disk? What can i do?

    A  whole  lot  about  Time  Machine for help with TM problems.  Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM.  See also Mac 101- Time Machine.
    Use Disk Utility to repair the TM drive.  If that doesn't help, and you don't find help from the above, then erase the drive and start a new TM backup.
