CD ROM Drive has disappeared!!

I attempted to go through the steps posted here on how to get songs off your iPod back onto the music library on your PC (my laptop had crashed and I had to reload the operating software but didn't have a complete back-up of all my songs), and was unsuccessful. Now, in addition to that problem, my laptop is no longer reading the D: drive (CD ROM drive). It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer and when I put a CD in the drive it doesn't automatically start up as it did in the past. It's as if the D: drive no longer exists.
Anyone else encounter this problem and is there any fix other than reloading the operating software (which I just did and don't want to do again).
Thanks.

Just a quick link, don't know if it's the right thing:

How do I remove an SD card from the CD-ROM Drive that also has a CD stuck in the drive?

Hi! I need some assistance. We had an individual accidently miss the SD slot on the iMac and placed the SD card into the CD-ROM Drive of the computer. On top of that, a CD was placed in the drive as well and will no longer eject. Is there a way for me to remove both the CD and the SD card?

The most common method is to fashion an L shape out of cardboard (business card eg) turn the iMac on it's side and fish for the intruder.
As you now have 2 things in the drive this may not work, if so it's a trip to the Apple Store for extraction.

Is there occured any failure with the DVD? Why can't you use it anymore?

Win7 install looking for CD ROM driver (after loading from CD) cannot find it so fails to install.

Product: HP-IQ-775
OS? Gone!- Was WIndows Vista HP-SP2, but System Recovery wiped it out!
Error Msg: Current message that is stopping the installation of Windows 7 is "Missing CD/DVD ROM Driver- Please insert disk, or browse to location of driver" Browse accnot find driver needed (whatever it is... it is running form the bootable CD drive, so obviously it found something!)
Changes? Oh yeah, you bet!! I have had so many problems with this machine, I cannot list them all. After running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which reported only 2 issues, both software and both resolved, all OS upgrades installed, all drivers updated, ran the MS Malicious Software app, then attempoted an upgrade from Windows Vista- Home Premium, Service Pack 2. Long story short, after 3 days of 'installing Windows 7' on the screen, it failed. No explanation just "update failed, system will rollback to Vista". The rollback was uneventful, but sytem began having problems. Missing drivers, USB ports failed, CPU Fan Failure shut downs, blue screen after blue screen. I sent my system logs to an MCSE 'expert' and he reported " there are so many issues in the logs, that it would be a miracle if the machine ever ran again" He suggested Formatting the drive and instaling Win 7 clean. WIth far too much going on with projects, I could not do this. Ultimately, Updates would not work, A/V software would not update, Vdeo software would not run. I contacted Microsoft, and after a week or so of email volleys, they escalated it to thieir 'expert', who after a few hours troubleshooting remotely, and multiple failed System Restores, said the only hope was a System Recovery.
After backing up everything today, I did the System Recovery from the Factory Image, the result was fatal! It went through the first half, erasing my operating sytem and associated files, drivers etc, it reported "Error found in Sytem Configuration, System Recvovery not completed", leaving me with an X drive, a C: drive tith nothing on it, and between the two, sho about 30GB of space total, on a 500GB drive!
I figured this would be the best time to do a 'clean install' of Windows 7, as I no longer had an OS to upgrade! I ran my Win7 Install disk, which ran fine, loaded its files, then reported "missing CD/DVD driver. PLease insert floppy, CD or flash drive, or browse to external drive with driver location"
Needless to say, I could find noting that it would accept. I even downloaded a driver from TSST (CD OEM) but the installer would not accept it from the flash drive. That is where I am now. No OS loaded, partitions screwed up, command prompt finds noting but X: (Recovery files?)29GB, and C: what is left of it, it shows 9GB. Where is the rest of my disk? Who knows.
I have 5 external drives, full system backup on one, all data files on another, System Recovery Backup on another, but cannot access anything with no OS. I can only use the Win7 install boot disk to access the computer at all, and it has limited functionality.
I am writing from my HP-dv-9720 notebook, which has its own OS issues (still running on Vista basic as it will not install SPs), so it is available for email and driver downloads if necessary.
Anyone want this challenge?
Thanks
Doug

WOW! 9 months later and not a sigle response. And now I am back! (Windows7 worked fine BTW!) Now I have the FAN FAILURE, yet the only thing that works on the computer, IS the FAN!! HP is ware of this problem but has done nothing except post a bunch of unrelatre (to IQ-775) stuff! A replacement fan (not that it is needed) is over $300, almost half of what I paid for the entire system!! BS! This is a latent defect and should be fixed by HP!
I currently have 3 HP computers, 5HP printers and an HP plotter! I have been a loyal HP customer fore over 20 years! IF they do not fix this, FREE, I will NEVER buy another HP product again! That is a promise! This is pure BS! The machine will not boot due to a false "fan failure' report. both fans are running fine, and always have. The defect is in the reporting software or fan firmware, NOT the fan!
I will be back in 9 months to answer myself again!

Satellite Pro 2100: CD-ROM/DVD is missing - error code 39

Dear all,
after an unsuccessful attempt to install a TV USB stick, my DVD/CDRW drive has disappeared. It is still working, I can hear it work, but Windows XP does not know anymore that the computer has this function. It also does not come up under "my computer" anymore. The system device manager also tells me there is a problem (code 39) and shows an exclamation mark in front of Mat****a UJDA740. What can I do? How can I get my DVD/CD-Rom drive back??
Thanks,

Cd-rom driver help

My cd-rom and my cdrw devices are not working. Device Manager says that the drivers may be corupt or missing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them only in the Device Manager. I have never downloaded the drivers and tried installing it. Partly because I can't find them. My cd-rom is a MSI 52X. I dont know what model. If anyone can help please help me. Oh and also when I goto My Computer the cd-rom drive isn't even there. Both cd-rom and CDRW both stopped working at the same time. So I know that they are not messed up.

Hi ,
If you have 52x24x52x CDRW, install Firmware 220......

Satellite A100-049 - CD ROM drive no longer found

My satellite A100-049 no longer sees my CD rom drive, It won't auto play any discs, and when I double click a shortcut to a program that uses a disc it says 'no cd-rom drive found'.
I've tried updating the driver but I already have the most up to date one. It was fine yesterday, before I installed Norton 360- I don't know if that has anything to do with it. My operating system is vista home premium.
I really need help quickly as I'm going to university in under 3 weeks and the cd rom drive is vital to my course.

Hi Michael
Its very strange that your CD/DVD drive does not work longer after the Norton 360 installation. For me it looks like the Norton 360 has modified some registry keys and therefore the drive malfunctions.
I would recommend removing the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
Then restart the notebook. After new reboot the windows OS should recognize the new hardware (CD/DVD drive) and should install it again.
Then start the registry and remove the upper and lower filter values from this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
then reboot and test again!
Good luck and cheers dude ;)

K7T Turbo LE - Windows XP Pro SP-1 is not detecting my CD ROM drive I used to install XP Pro !!!!!!!

This is an XP driver issue that I'm not sure how to resolve.
This is a brand new K7T Turbo (MS-6330) Limited Edition motherboard (red-colored board, not green), Ver. 3 (no RAID controller on-board)
PSU is 400w (I tried another PSU, same issue)
Athlon 850MHz socket-A
CD-ROM drive - Yamaha CDR2100E 16x10x40 UDMA-1
The BIOS is 3.6, updated prior to Windows XP's installation
The VIA 4-in-1 drivers were updated with the latest available on MSI's website for the 6330
2 hard drives installed on the primary controller - one set to master, one set to slave
CD-ROM drive is the only device on the secondary controller, set to master with no slave, and is plugged-into the end IDE cable connector
The board detects the cd drive, and I even installed Windows XP Pro WITH this cd-rom drive, installed as currently configured, which is what pisses me off. I've installed XP four times today, try different things between installs, and nothing. The drive works FINE outside of XP, but as soon as XP starts, the drive disappears and XP doesn't even detect it. Also, while booting up, the start screen will lock up (activity bar freezes and hard drive activity stops) for about ten seconds (but everything's hooked-up right... I'm not a PC rookie!).
HELP! Please oh please help!!!! I'm getting aggravated!
Thanks!

Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

Greetings, all.
Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:
# mount -F nfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
nfs mount: x.x.x.x: : RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retrying: /mnt
# mount -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount x.x.x.x:/f
# mount -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/F /mnt
mount: No such device

I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
There are two ways to do this:
Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

Replacing CD rom drive in Hp pavilions a230n

I just rescued a Paviliona230n from a sad end. It was gutted of the good body parts, but I had an old Millenium that I could upgrade to XP or higher. I do need to put the two Cd-rom drives in and cannot figure out how to do it without removing the AMD processor and fan - something I am loath to do without instructions.
Are they clipped down and how do I unplug it safely so I can insert the CD rom drives.
I assume I would make the readable drive as the master (top) cable connection and the re-writeable one as the slave. OR???
I think I already overdid the memory bit as the machine seems to have a one GB memory and I put two of those in. Seems to be working.
Next I need to get drivers esp. for the ethernet connection.
Most important is the method to remove the AMD memory unit. I sure don't want to mess that up.
Just for interest: The hardrive with the Millenium OP system was flaky. I think it was the program, but when I tried to install XP as an "upgrade" (to save programs and files) it failed twice. Only when I did a full install did it work.
Next I will have to check the integrity of the drive itself and I doubt that my dbam (boot and nuke) wipe disk will work on it. It also does a fine job on checking the hard drive before you install anything. It was not recognized by Millenium.
TIA
If you have any plant questions I could repay your answer with please visit http://sequimplants.com/
I also have a google plus blog on plants. Plants were the beginning of this need to find a computer with a 3.5 inch floppy. Years ago I had a great program from Gardenware (over 250.00) to make labels. I made a 600 item library of my plants with descriptions.
Win 3.1 now. I can't even install it again as it is propriatory and it needs a unlock key that the company no longer has for old versions. Nothing else can read or open the floppy library backup ... so I downloaded a freefile viewer and hope it will work on it. Hopefully on the XP version. If not I will have to install a floppy drive on one of my Win 7 computers.
I found this to be beyond understanding. If you sell a car you are obligated to keep parts for it. I cannot see that this program developer cannot have kept the unlock codes for All older versions. Certainly does not make me want to buy their NEW version for 199.00.
If that freefile viewer doesn't pan out all I can do is get a mobile 3.5 floppy with a USB port and plug it into another Nurserymans computer to see if his new version can read it.

Code could not be generated because an external component or driver is missing

Greetings All,
     I've using Labview for a little over a year and I have an interesting situation with regards to Labview that I came across today. When I left off yesterday (01/11/12) my TestStand sequence was compiling fine. Today for some reason the compiler told me that one of the VI was broken or missing a sub vi. When I made my way through all the sub vi's in the vi that seemed to be a problem I came across "Code could not be generated because an external component or driver is missing".
     The problem started on the computer (NI PXI-8101 with WinXP and Labview 2010) located in a PXI-1044 that is in my Test Stand.  I have a complete backup on my laptop and my desktop computer which both compiling successfully with no errors. I tried installing the directory on another PXI-8101 and got a different set of results.  The first PXI-8101 gave 100+ errors in TestStand pointing to one of my vi's and the other PXI-8101 reported only one (1) error. The vi is basically using DAQmx vi's to create a "write to one line" action. I'm kind of stumped as to why it works on the laptop/desktop and not the PXI computers. All four computer are WinXP professional and Labview 2010. I saw somethings through google search engine but nothing conclusive. I'm hoping that someone can give me an explaination as to what is causing the error as described. Even if I copy over the directory it doesn't fix the problem. Thank you in advance for an information you provide with this rather interesting problem that I've encountered. If you require addition information let me know.
Regards,
Scott

Go to Solution.

Greetings Beau,
     Thank you for the reply.
     I loaded the offending VI into Labview (2010) with TestStand inactive. Of course this was after I completely shutdown the computer and re-booted to ensure that nothing was resident in memory. I've included a couple of the error list boxes in this post.
     It comes down to a subvi that is two (2) subvi's deep. All these vi's are doing is commanding a write or read to and from the PXI-6509. When I check the VI at the level that has no broken run arrows (named below), nothing in the block diagram looks out of place as it should since these were installed by Labview installation. The vi that uses these vi's looks total normal and its block diagram doesn't have anything out of the ordinary yet the run arrow is broken. The odd part of this is that the top of the window that states the filename of the vi has an astrex at the end of the filename, even though nothing has changed in that vi.
Here is a list of the deepest level that has no broken run arrow:
DAQmx Create Channel (DI-Digital Input).vi
DAQmx Start Task.vi
DAQMX Read (Digital Bool 1Line 1Point).vi
DAQmx Clear Task.vi
DAQmx Create Channel (DO-Digital Output).vi
DAQmx Write (Digital U8 1Chan 1Samp).vi
     I guess the real question is what is the error message ("External component or driver missing") really telling me if all of the vi's look right. I appreciate any information you can send my way that will give me a better understanding of where this error is coming from. The program I developed had been running without a hitch for a month an all of sudden crash.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Scott
