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......

Had problem with not reading or writing with certain media.....220 update cured this.
Also, check Master & Slave jumper on drives......

Pavillion dv9810us DVD/CD-ROM Drive and Vista Device Manager Question.....HELP!!!!!

I have a Laptop, just over a year old, runs Vista Home Premium SP2. Here is the scenario
Hadn't used the DVD/CD-ROM drive for 3 or 4 weeks at which time it worked fine. Tried to use it a couple of days ago and discovered it wouldn't respond. I figured I needed to maybe rollback the Driver or something. I checked in the Device Manager and saw the main HDD was listed but there was no DVD/CD-ROM drive in the Device Manager List. Does Vista remove the DVD/CD-ROM drive if it's inoperable (DEAD) or has something happened that removed the Device from the List. I've had Drives go South before in Windows 98 and 2000 but they were never removed from the Device Manager List they just didn't work but I know Vista is a OS of a different color so I don't know. Just trying to figure out if I'm fighting a Hardware or Software fight here, I'm at a loss and can't afford to just take it into a shop for diagnosis. Any answers or tip on how to definitly isolate the problem would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any Help.

I have the same problem, dvdrw not showing in device manager. Bought a new TS-L632N dvdrw by TSST and it still does not show in device manager. This started after I ordered new recovery disk from HO (vista Home Preminum) and reloaded the OS. I know HP knows about this problem but will not do anything about it. Online support not good and a 500 dollar repair bill would be a waste when you can buy a new laptopn for that.

Pls help SW guy w/ HW question: CD-ROM drive repl. on Blade 100

I have been programming for close to 25 years, but I am very naive with hardware. My home computer is a Sun Blade 100. I bought it right when it came out, so it still has a read-only CD-ROM drive.
Discussion groups make it sound rather easy to replace that with a RW CD-ROM/DVD drive. But I remember hearing about device drivers long ago, and wonder why I see no mention now. For example, see www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/pdf/806-6637-12.pdf.
I'm guessing that the IDE connection has a standard driver that is already installed (so it might not matter), but every drive in the stores lists system requirements that refer to windows or Macs. Is that only because they come with additional desktop software for writing to the drives, or do I really need to be careful what I buy? And if so, what should I be looking for?
Thanks

Actually, he means both--or rather the reason you would want to boot from the cd/dvd is to install/reinstall the OS to your hard drive (there are other ways but none as simple). I do not know of a Solaris installation that you can boot from and run on cd (as you can with some windows/linux installations), but maybe someone has done that.
So, if you wanted to use it to boot from the cd/dvd to install a fresh copy of solaris, he is saying you have to make sure it works. In my experience, many on this machine work (liteon, sony, toshiba, etc)

My HP Pavilion dv6-3108ea cd-rom drive does not detect any dvd's or cd's........ help please!!!!!!!

My CD-ROM drive cannot detect CD's or DVD's. I have used the microsoft "fix it" tool and it doesn't detect that the driver is out of date nor does it need updating. I have tried uninstalling the driver via the control panel settings and restrating my laptop to see if it will reinstall the driver automatically but it always fails.
Does anyone have any suggestions??? I would be very grateful.
This question was solved.

CD-ROM driver going crazy! Really loud and spinning at high RPM..HELP!!!

I just bought a refurbished macbook 1.83 with dual celeron - I tried to install some software on it last night and my cd rom drive was really really loud. The cd sounded like it was spinning at the highest RPM and the whole laptop was vibrating. It did this the entire time the CD was in there. I just got this thing and havent used it more than a couple of hours. Has any one had similar problems? Does any one know what it might be?

My CD-ROM (combo) drive is also very loud and has been since I bought the macbook in July. I don't notice any vibrating, but I have to keep the DVD or CD volume very high in order to hear it above the noise of the drive. It doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it now, but next time I'm going to the Apple place in Vienna I'll probably have them check it out. If you find out anything more, please post it, I'm curious if this is normal or not.

Please help dvd/cd-rom drive won't work

When I start computer the dvd/cd-rom drive is seen and works under my computer (listed under other) but after an couple of minutes the drive has an red x and is listed as cd drive. There are times when it doesn't show up period. When I go under device manager I see and yellow exclamation mark. I cannot roll back (icon doesnt allow) and when I try to update it says that this version is the most update version. I have never personally tried to update this driver since I bought the computer it seems as if overnight there is a problem.
When I go to device manager and go to properties the message that appears is: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)
I have a lenovo G575
AMD E-350 processor 1.60 GHz,
RAM 3.00 g.b.,
Windows 7 64bit operating system.
I have tried to use the troubleshooting tool but it doesn't work.
Could someone give me step by step instructions on how to fix my computer.
Thankyou in advance.

When you go to device manager for the device right click the drive and click Uninstall,AFTER and only after you do that download the correct driver from Lenovo's website and then install it. It is generally best to totally uninstall old drivers before attempting updating to a new/different one as it can create issues like this. Let me know if this worked for you.

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!

you're posting this all over the place aren't you??

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.

check inside BIOS whether your ODD can be detected, if cant be detected must be connection cable or HW issue
if still able to detect in BIOS, try to run basic troubleshoot regarding ODD

Which CD ROM drive is compatible with Satellite 1690CDT?

Hello,
I own an old Tosiba Satellite 169CDT notebook which still works well for me. Unfortunately the buid in CD ROM drive is broken. Does anybody know, where I can get a repacement drive for less money?
Can anybody tell me the model no or model description of the build in CD drive, is it a Teac drive?
Also any hints how to dismount the drive are welcome.
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Sergeant

Hi,
because your machine is pretty old, maybe looking by ebay or something similar could help you.
So I cannot help you with dismounting your drive, because I dont know, but you can try to loose some screws on the bottom of the machine which are exactly there, where the drive has its back.
Just try to imagine where the drive can be fixed with that screw, it has to be around the middle part of the bottom of your machine.

Installed iTunes and my Laptop no longer recognises CD-ROM drive

I was given an iPod for Xmas, so I downloaded iTunes and installed it on my Laptop. When I opened iTunes for the first time, I got a message saying that I needed to reinstall iTunes if I wanted to burn CD's; that's fine I thought, as I don't burn many CD's and can use another application to do so. Problem is, when I go into "My Computer" my CD-ROM drive is no longer there and I can't use it play CD's or games. I had to do a system restore in order to get my CD-ROM drive back. I've tried installing iTunes 3 times now and exactly the same thing happens each time.
Obviously, I need my CD-ROM drive and I can't use my iPod without having iTunes installed on my Laptop. Does anyone know what could be causing my problem? Or any way around it? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
We have this problem also!!! The removal of Itunes and Quicktime certainly resolves the problem regarding installation but what's the point if you then can't use your CD drive. We also have a 30gb Ipod and are regretting our purchase. My daughter bought a Zune by Microsoft which is fantastic, used on a different computer... starting to think that we should have done the same.
CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM... APPEARS TO BE MORE AND MORE COMMON WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

CD ROM Drive lost when installing iPod Nano

After installing my iPod Nano and iTunes my PC will no longer recognise it has a CD ROM drive.
Like a dummy I tried it on 2 PC's and now they are both stuffed!
Apple tech support don't have a clue.
I have uninstalled everything, even the CD ROM Drives and rebooted, hoping the plug and play would kick in but no luck - HELP

I now have a solution for this. I printed out the solution before it disappeared off the PB website so im quoting direct from my printout. If you are not familiar with using regedit then be careful or seek assistance.
Packard Bell PC’s
Yellow exclamation mark in device manager against CD/DVD drives and drives not useable/visible on PC. Can happen after attempt Ipod Nano install.
To fix involves running and modifying system registry editor
1 Click START then RUN type REGEDIT and click ok
2 Locate and then delete the following registry values:
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SYSTEM\currentcontrolsset\control\class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-B FC1-08002BE10318}-
This string will be visible in the right hand pane of registry editor and will have a yellow folder beside it.
When you open the folder that has the above string immediately to the right of it then in the right hand pane of registry editor a list of values will appear.
Reading from top to bottom they will probably be a list of items each having an icon with the letters ab in red.
The list is
Default
Class
Enumproppages32
Icon
Installer2
Lowerfilters
Noinstallclass
Silentinstall
Troubleshooter=0
upperfilters
Now click on lowerfilters to highlight it then delete it,do the same for upper filters. When you’ve done this,drop down the file menu (top left hand corner) and click exit then power off the pc and restart)
If you’ve done this correctly all should be well,the nano should work and the DVD drives will be present.

CD Rom drive not reading data or audio

Hello -
I'm using a Fujitsu N series LifeBook laptop. I'd started having problems with my cd rom drive about 6 or so months ago. It reads dvd discs just fine, but is very "selective" about the audio cds i load. I got a palm pda for christmas and when i tried to load the sync software from the cdrom - the drive wouldn't read it at all. I tested other audio cds and have since found that the drive will no longer read any audio discs. Oddly, it reads dvd movies just fine - launching Windows Media Player as a default. I got in contact with Fujitsu tech support, and after uninstalling/reinstalling the cdrom, found the problem was still there. I was told to contact iTunes support because iTunes might be the culprit - but could only find these forums for help.
Cdrom drive is a TEAC DW-224E-B model. Please help - I'm a nursing student and plan on using the palm pda to store PDR's and Diagnosing guides.
Thank you,
Erick

CD ROM Drive Issue with a Satellite A215-S7416

Hello,
I wonder if someone can please help me. I don't know why this issue is happening with my laptop, but maybe someone else here has had the same thing.
I don't really use my CD ROM drive all that much, but for some strange reason all of a sudden now it seems like it:
A) DOES read and recognize the material on store-bought pre-recorded CD's (just as it should),
BUT...
B) Does NOT read or recognize material on CD's which have been burned by a friend of mine. By the way, the player in my car DOES read the CD material which was burned on my friends system, so I know that something is on those CD's.
ALSO...
My CD ROM drive no longer seems to give me the option to burn a playlist to a disc. Instead, when I insert a blank CD disc, all I hear is the cycling noise making a continual irritating sound, seemingly forever. It makes this exact same noise when I insert the CD disc that my friend burned for me. But (as already stated) when I insert a store-bought pre-recorded disc, it reads and recoginizes it within 30 seconds, and displays the contents of the CD.
I don't know if this matters, but I just updated to the newest iTunes version (which is the software I use), however I have noticed that WMP is doing the same thing, as well. Additionally, when I ran the iTunes Diagnostics, all that happened was that it just continued doing that ridiculous cyclic thing (with my friend's burned CD). However, when I inserted a store-bought pre-recorded CD, the iTunes Diagnostic worked like a charm.
Does anyone know what's going on, and/or how I can fix this?
Thank you.
PS --- BTW, my CD/DVD ROM Drive is:
D: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H, Rev TO02

Try taking a look at this article.
What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 7?
It's also possible that the drive is beginning to fail.
