CD/DVD drive is no longer working on my HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y desktop

Hi!  I am having problems with my HP desktop computer and wonder if  someone can help me solve this issue.
My CD/DVD drive is no longer working on my HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y desktop. When I tried to test my CD/DVD drive  to ensure it it was working properly , When I clicked to open Hardware Diagnostic Tools and it said "The software program is not found".  The CD/DVD drive was working but will not respond or recognize that a disk is in the drive.  It states insert disk in drive.  Where are my diagnostic tools that are missing?

Hi,
Your Seagate update CD is to update the firmware for Seagate hard drives.
Did you try the tips in the post that I referenced above?
Error 31 indicates that the driver is not installing correctly.
Go to Device Manager, locate the CD/DVD drive, open up the CD/DVD drive, double click, click on the Driver tab, then uninstall the driver. Now reboot your PC and Windows will re-install the driver.

    Hello, I changed my Imac hard drive which no longer worked. I installed a hard drive
    Western Digital 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA3 WD5002AALX 32M Black. Sometimes I see the hard disk in the utility on the Starter CD, but access seems very slow. By cons when I want
    install OS X 10.4.2 on the hard drive, I do not see the disk. What is the problem?

    Thanks for the help
    I started on the installation CD OS X 10.4.2, I used Disk Utility
    to partition the disk according to the document that you have proposed. unfortunately
    I have not succeeded. When I partition the disk, even if I called it Macintosh HD, it
    does not keep the name and it shows disk0s3 instead. I did an erase on disk.
    When I mount the disk it tells me that I must repair. When I tried to repair, I got
    the following message:
    Volume check failed
    The underflying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
    I also had a message:
    Invalid b-tree node size.
    Note: The disc is new, but it has already been formatted on a computer Imac 27 inch 2011 OS X Lion.
          I used a USB 2.0 to SATA cable to adjust the formatting.
    What to do to fix it?

  • Drive Mode no longer works on my LifeDrive

    Ever since upgrading to 10.4.9, Drive Mode no longer works on my iMac. Syncing continues to work fine. Lots of other people on the Palm forums are having the same problem since upgrading to 10.4.9. Did something change in the way the OS handles mountable drives that could be causing this problem?

    I have same problem with Palm T5 and MacBook since 10.4.9
    When I turn Drive Mode On, the Palm hangs after 5 seconds.

  • After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

    After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my  DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

    Hey hvbnfrgvn,
    Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
    I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
    If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
    I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.

  • My DVD drive is no longer recognized.

    For the past few months my dvd drive would not open when I used the eject disk function. A few times I went into the startup menu and ejected the disk manually. Now the dvd drive is not even recognized by the computer. This dvd drive is the original and my G5 is at least 5-6 years old. Should I replace the dvd drive or is this a software issue?

    Hi birdman1999, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    It is very likely it is gone, I've not had an Optical in the last 8 years that lasted that long myself.
    Does it not show up even in Disk Utility or System Profiler?
    Does it boot off the Install Disc if inserted and holding the c key at bootup?
    Here's some options for replacement...

  • My dvd player is no longer working and my mac will not accept my installer disc

    my iphoto is no longer working either, as well as my dvd player, so i decided to reinstall, using my installer disc, but my computer turns it around a few times, then spits it out! what can i do?
    I updated recently to os x maveric, that is when my iphoto stopped working, yet i have previous photo;s in the iphoto gallery, the dvd stopped working a while ago for no reason. 
    Any ideas?

    It's not possible to restore the operating sysem from your install disc on a Mac running v10.9 Mavericks.
    The only way to restore OS X is to startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
    Try iPhoto and the DVD Player app after you restore OS X.

  • CD-ROM and DVD drives recognised but not working after iTunes uninstall

    I recently uninstalled iTunes. The CD-ROM and DVD drives are present on "My Computer" but will not recognise when a CD or DVD is inserted into the drive.
    According the the Device Manager both are working propoerly. I already tried Update Driver, Roll Back Driver and Uninstall Driver but continue to have the problem.
    Any ideas please?

    Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm running into the same problem. My DVD drive can read CD's but no DVDs at all. I tried all the suggestions like deleting the System Registers and loading new drivers/firmware, etc, and nothing. This all started after installing iTunes!

  • [G575] CD/DVD drive disappeared - no longer recognized in Windows

    I have a Lenovo G575 that I have had for a couple of years now. Within the past week the CD/DVD drive has disappeared. If I go to device manager it is not listed. I went through the regedit and tried to delete all the upper/lower filters in the registry and no change. I can insert a disc and it will spin and I can here it running but it won't recognize that there is a disc in the drive. Is there any way I can just reload the driver? And if so where can I find just a driver? I have gone to a couple of sites but haven't been able to just find a CD/DVD driver.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Moderator comment: Subject edited for clarity.

    Hi Kechrmi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the CD/DVD driver is not detected in the device manager in your G575 Laptop, I suggest you to check of the CD/DVD is detected in BIOS. To access the BIOS menu press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.
    And to conform the issue, please perform OKR (One Key Recovery) using the OKR button located beside the power button.
    NOTE: Please backup the data in the computer before performing OKR, as the data will be completely erased.
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
    Best Regards

    Have you updated your HP drivers using the HP Support Assistant?
    Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
    In the meantime, I recommend following this document on Using System File Checker to Restore System Files. This should help repair damaged protected files on your computer. In addition, I also suggest following this resource on Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7).

  • DVD Studio Pro no longer works with the new iMac. Solutions?

    Disc installations in general don't exist anymore and DVD Studio Pro is no longer supported in the new iMac that we have at our office. I used to have Roxio's Toast Titanium as a backup burner, but even that is not supported past mac OS 10.7. Final Cut X has the option to export straight to DVD but the menu options it gives you is so basic it doesn't even look professional. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they are using now to burn a professional looking DVD. Many thanks

    mlaughbaum,
    It seems as though you and I are on the same page struggling. Were you able to find any alternatives to DVDSP or any way to continue using it?
    On-Site Video
    I'm considering myself lucky... Though I was unable to install either DVDSP and FCP v.6 on my new iMac, they are both still working on my older iMac even though it too is running ML. I believe this is because I upgraded to ML from Leopard with both already installed.
    My only suggestion would be to install Leopard (or the OS on which they were working for you), install FCP, DVDSP and compressor, and then upgrade to ML. Seems like a silly solution but I have a feeling it would work. I'm not doing it because it's working on the iMac that's closest to my DVD duplicator. That said, if I had to, I believe that's what I'd try.
    Really infuriates me. My business depends on DVD sales and there really isn't another cost effective DVD authoring solution for the mac out there.
    I do wish you the best of luck and would love to hear if you come up with a better solution.

  • My dvd drive has disapeared was working fine, now just not there, any help would be great

    my dvd player was working just fine before I went on Holiday....... now nothing just get an error message no dvd found....... does anyone have any ideas  

    Bring up the System Information via the Apple ➙ About this Mac ➙ More Information menu and check under the Hardware if the optical drive is recognized.  Are you able to use the drive from the Finder?  If not then it may be a hardware issue so try this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test

  • Freecom CD/DVD Drive/Writer no longer recognised

    I don't seem to be getting very far with Freecom's support so I thought I'd ask here. Since upgrading to OS 10.5.6 discs inserted into my external reader/writer are no longer mounting.
    Has anybody found a solution for this?
    If I open up Disk Utility and System Profiler it shows:

    Many of us have had optical writers go unsupported w/Snow Leopard.
    I'm back to relying on my internal burner, and with the very, very small number of discs I burn these days (like none), I'm not missing the external.

  • External Hard Drive is no longer working

    Hello. I have had a external hard drive for about 4 months now and it had been working fine. I have my iPhoto library on it along with all things related to my films that i make. After seeing some problems with iPhoto i upgraded to Aperture. I had to rebuild the library because something was wrong with it but after i did that, it loaded in Aperture fine and i was able to use it. I then verified and repaired my external disk, in the sake on making sure everything was okay. i then turned my computer off and went to bed. The next day when i tried to open the library, i couldn't open becuase the library was "locked." after i while, i realized that the entire disk had become "read only." after trying to fix it for the past couple of days by looking into forums and using terminal and exerything, nothing has worked. Now, the disk cannot verify on repair at all, and i still can't change it at all. This disk is very important, and I don't use Time Machine or have a backup. I was going to set it up, but that was the day that i found that is was locked. I would love some help so please try and help me find the problem so we can fix it thank you!
    PS i have noticed the disk is a NTFS, but it has been that since i started using it. and it is a Seagate Free Agent Go Flex Drive 1.5tb.
    Thanks again

    Hi,
    Apple doesn't supply a read/write driver for NTFS with any of its operating systems.  Are you using a third-party NTFS driver, such as the one supplied by Paragon?  If so, that's likely the source of the problem.  If not, then something strange is going on, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it…
