A215-S7422 CD/DVD WONT READ

MY CD/DVD WONT READ. HELP.

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
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

Wont read dvds

OSX wont read my all my burnt DVDs. Some of them work, but not all.
Any fix for this?

Hi, Bill.
First, patience is a virtue here. There's no commitment that any question posted here will be answered in any given time period. All answers are posted by volunteers on a best-effort basis.
I'd recommend that you check Console for clues, i.e. specific error messages that may display in the Console logs when the DVDs fail to "work."
Also, think about what differentiates those that "work" from those that don't.
Likewise, please define what you mean by "work." For example, do you mean DVD Player doesn't open? Are these video or data DVDs? etc.
As you can see from the questions I've asked above, you've also not provided much info in your original post, so perhaps that may explain why no one answered. Providing details in a well-crafted question helps one to get answers.
Good luck!

Dvd r wont read in my computer

Has anyone else had a problem with a DVD+R not reading in the DVD drive on the Mac?

In your System Profiler under "More Info">Disk burning, it should list the compatible DVD formats.

Satellite A215 S7422 no longer boots up!

a215 s7422 no longer boots up. Thought it was bad HD so put in new one and loaded recovery dvd but still no boot up. Could it need a new cmos? please advise. Thanks.

Ok, I press the power button, power light goes on, DVD drive gives 2 motor tries, then nothing - screen stays black and it just sits with power light on.
For a while it would do this but if I kept trying it would eventually boot up. Not anymore.
I thought it might be HD so I popped in a new one, put the recovery disk in the DVD drive and tried. DVD disk spins but screen stays blank and no boot up.
In both cases the HD indicator light does not light at all - no activity.

Itunes wont read or burn audio CD

Hello
Can anybody help me. I have Itunes with Win XP Pro and it wont read a CD, just keeps telling me to enter CD in Drive. I've run CD Diagnostics(there was an audio Cd in the drive at the time) with the following result, can anyone interrupt this for a numpty computer user like me and tell me what the problem is and what I should do?
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Compaq Evo N1020v
iTunes 7.0.2.16
CD Driver 2.0.6.1
CD Driver DLL 2.0.6.1
UpperFilters: GEARAspiWDM (2.0.6.1),
Video Driver: RADEON IGP 340M \RADEON IGP 340M

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Current user is an administrator.
D: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4240N, Rev 0110
Drive is empty.

Well, the CD diagnostics thinks the drive empty. What happens if you go to Windows Explorer with an audio CD in the drive and try to explore the CD? Do other applications, like Windows Media Player see the CD?
For reference, the support site for your computer is here.

Hello Alfster76, Did you uninstall the DVD drive in the Control Panel, Device Manager, then reboot the system and see if it finds new hardware and installs the drivers for it?
Sometimes this works. If not, you might check the data and the power cables going to the DVD drive, just to insure they are properly connected.
If this does not resolve the issue, the DVD drive may have become faulty.

Drivers for Windows XP - Satelite A215-S7422

Cant find drivers for windows XP for Satelite A215-S7422, Can I help me?

Honestly yes, I've installed the chipset
I've got it from MSI, for A215-S7422 the chipset is M690V as mentioned on Specification.
There are 4 variants for this type, but I am not sure it's for Notebooks. I think it's for PC-Desktop.
For your information,
It work unproperly. Some keyboard button doesn't work at all, e.g : Fn+Brightness ; Fn+Mute; Fn+Display Mode; etc.
You said "But is this really important if all your devices are working properly?"
I say : not to really important, but I like a perfect one and normal condition.
Please, waiting for your advice Master.

Internal CD Wont read discs

Hi all,
for about a year and a half, my emac's internal CD drive wont read CDs.
the disc spins, but after about 30 seconds, it spits it out. I have been using an external LaCie cd drive, but i would like to know if there is a way to fix my cd drive.
The CD Drive model is: Pioneer DVD-RW (superdrive) rev. A227
Thanks,
Chris

If several passes with a CD lens cleaner don't help, you can look over the optical drive replacement tips in Apple eMac Upgrade Guide (which should make continuing to use your external LaCie drive look much. much easier --- opening the eMac isn't that hard, it's putting it back together in working condition that can be unnerving, especially the first time you attempt the task!).
