Dvd cd driver install

Hi All,
My imac (24") desktop will not accept any CD or DVD. I am assuming the drivers are not working or have been deleted/corupted. Where can I reinstall these?
Thanks

Finder > Preferences > General
Make sure CDs & DVDs, and iPods is selected.
And check your settings in System Preferences > CDs & DVDs
It's not a driver issue.
And make sure your OS X software is up to date.
Cick Software Update from your Apple  drop down menu.

K7N2G will not load windows xp with any type of dvd/cd drive installed?

This is on my old computer, the specs are as follows
k7n2g
athlon 2600+
radeon 9700 pro
Caviar SE wd800
1gb samsung ddr333
It does not matter if it is keyed as master or slave, primary or secondary my old k7n2g will not load windows with a cd drive installed. I have tried three different drives and everything that I can think of, changed cables, channels, drives, everything. Windows just hangs. I cannot even get into safe mode. Is this an IRQ problem? The drives keeps trying to eject themselves, no matter what kind I use. This has never happened before, but there was a point before this problem where the vga wouldn't kick on (at the login screen) until I hit eject on the cd drive. This is driving me crazy and I have a girlfriend who just has to play her stupid sims and will not stop bothering me about it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!
Thanks
Chris
PS here is my NEW workstation (I couldn't be happier to get rid of the old system)

1x BFG 7800GTX OC (one for now)

Your Tyan based hardware listing on the first post has no relevance to anything, and might only serve to confuse. Please remove it and put the hardware you are trying to troubleshoot in a signature. Look in your profile>Forum Profile Information and enter that in the Signature box. That way we wont have to scroll to hunt down your hardware specs
So let us get this straight.
This system used to work fine? Yes? Then what prompted you to reload the OS?
You mentioned that didn't happen when you owned it. Are we to assume that at some point you sold or gave parts of this system to someone else? If so, what changed?
A little more history might prove useful in helping us to give you better suggestions.
Look at the PSU and give the Amps for the +3.3, +5v, & +12v lines.
***Edit, from what I see on the net, that is a dual rail PSU and the amps are as follows:
+3.3V@22A, +5V@21A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@16A
Is this correct?
Both the 3.3 and +5v seem a little low to me, but I am not entirely convinced that would be your problem. However, the fact that the 12v rails are split, can lead to other problems such as overvoltage protection circuitry getting in the way. Especially if the 16amp 12v rail is overloaded.
This is something to consider. Just because it is supposedly capable of wattage over it's rated power output doesn't mean it can handle what you're throwing at it all at once. If you have a single rail PSU that has at least 18 amps on the 12v rail to test with, we could almost definitively rule out power as the sole problem or a contributing factor.
I have never had a CD rejected, but if you could be more detailed about what you have connected to the board while attempting to load the OS, and then a detailed description of at what point the OS installation fails, and the CD is ejected, that would be helpful as well.
The fact that you've tried several drives, cables, with the same result. And also had a blackscreen event, does point to at least one problem that could point to a power issue. The CD rejection issue is foreign to me since I usually use the same type of PSU in all my builds or ones that I know work with a particular set of hardware, so I can't attribut that to a power issue.
Did you try clearing the CMOS and then initialize the default settings?
Do you have a cheap AGP card to try instead of the 9700?

ITunes won't recognize my internal cd-rw/dvd-rw drive, but my Toast does???

I purchased a new internal cd/dvd-rw drive, installed it, and everything functions perfectly. It even works fine in Toast. But...my ITunes will not recognize my new drive. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Also, I'm able to burn ITunes songs in Toast. But some of the songs have a little lock inside the Itunes logo, and it says I can only burn those locked songs in ITunes. Well, I can't do that because ITunes won't recognize my drive. Is there any way around the locked songs?
Any HELP would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there any way around the locked songs?
No, the protection scheme prevents other applications from burning protected music.
You can try to install a new driver/profile for your drive by using PatchBurn (www.patchburn.de). iTunes might recognize your new drive.
Download the Panther (10.3) version.
Hope this helps.

Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since installing Vista

I did a clean installation on my Vista Ready new M7. It had XP tablet to begin with and the DVD drive worked fine. Indeed I used it to install Vista (Home Premium).
Now it does not work at all. It spins but does not read. Device Manager tells me device cannot start. Tried to update driver and it told me that it has the most uptodate driver.
Downloaded all the drivers from Tosh download centre for Vista upgrade of M7 (which got bluetooth, screen rotation etc to work fine). But none of the downloads seemed to be a driver for the DVD-Ram drive. Can not find a driver anywhere else (including Panasonic site).
DVD drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841s
Any suggestions?

Hi
On the Toshiba driver page you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
Did you try to install the XP DVD-RAM driver from the Toshiba page on the Vista OS?
Maybe it will works
But listen the CD/DVD drive uses the common Microsoft drivers which are included into Vista or XP.
Therefore an additional driver should be not needed!
One additional proposal;
Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
After new reboot the OS should install the drive again and should renew the software.
Other hint:
- Start the registry
- Choose the registry key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters and LowerFilters then click Delete.
- and restart the notebook

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

How to install iTunes so that it doesn't effect DVD-CD drive drivers on PC

I have a new Dell laptop Inspiron 1525 that I installed the latest version of iTunes on. When I installed iTunes it knocked out my DVD-CD drive. Dell techs helped me to reinstall drivers for my DVD CD drive - which then worked, but, this corrupted iTunes & registry so that CD import and burning drivers were lost. Got a window message upon starting iTunes to this effect and instruction to reinstall iTunes. Reinstalled iTunes and lost my DVD - CD drive again! Dell helped me to get DVD CD drive back again, but I had the same trouble with iTunes again. Does anyone know how I can get my iTunes and my DVD-CD drive to get along?

how about changing the drive letter for the DVD drive? Right click My Computer, goto Manage, then select disk management. change the drive letter there. bear in mind that any programs that would call to the DVD drive will get confused since you changed it's drive letter but you can always point it to the right drive.

How and where do I download and install a DVD R Drive for Windows 7 dual boot?

I was prompted to have a DVD R Drive in order to burn the ISO of Windows 8 Consumer Release Preview on my Windows 7 running operationg system on my MacBook Pro. I just realized that I do not have the driver when I checked "My Computer". Hence, I could not burn the ISO file onto my blank DVD.

you can if you have 30-40GB free space use the setup program to install 8 and archive 7, that leaves 7 there in place.

DVD/CD Disc Drive Installed, But Doesn't Recognize Disc In Tray

I've spent hours and hours trying to fix it, and have found nothing really worthwhile online. I'm coming here in the outside chance someone else may have experienced something similar.
Basically, my Windows 7 laptop will no longer allow me to play dvd/cds (burned or store bought). The drive shows up in My Computer, is enabled, bios look good, etc, etc, but if I put a disc in it never autoruns or shows up with the disc name in My Computer,
and if I double click the disc drive I get a "please insert disc" dialogue box and the drive door pops open. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of, and (for what it's worth) I don't think its a hardware issue because after I sent my computer off
to Samsung for this same repair it came back completely reformatted the disc drive worked for a second. Then I started getting rid of some of the bloat ware in here (bought it at best buy... big mistake) again, and it shut down.
Here's what I've done or tried so far:
- Uninstall, reinstall the drive
- Updated the drivers
- Updated dvd/cd drive firmware
- Ran Microsoft's "Fix it" utility
- Cleaned the lenses/laser
- Remapped the drive to a different letter/path
- Checked registry to ensure filters weren't an issue (the upper and lower)
- Restored the laptop back to just after I received it back from the Samsung repair people (didn't work)
- Undid the restore
- Checked BIOS (I'm by no means BIOS-savvy, but it appeared that everything was in line with what folks were saying it should be)
And probably a few other things I'm forgetting. This is driving me crazy. I just started an online grad class and can't really feasibly send my computer back right now.
Anyone experience anything similar or know of some super magical solution?

s3,
Going to your point of "starting an online....", the quick fix (not magical) would be to get a cheap external that would work. If it were my 'puter I'd bring it with me, get the external (and seeing as how you went to BB go back to the same
one) obtain the one you want, have that Geek Squad rep install it for ya right there, No, there should be no dropping it off, USB hookups are quick. You might have to spend a coupla' minutes there though. It works...Great, it don't then have them
find one in your price range...put the onus on them....they sold it to you, have them figger' it out!!!! :=))
Merry Xmas

Pavillion dv6000: "Device driver" install failure for DVD/CD drive

The laptop does not install the DVD/CD drive anymore. Message says the driver for this device failed to install. It is not assigned a drive letter in Win Explorer. Device Manager shows the drive as recognized, but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point...Properties says driver is missing or corrupt. Needless to say, I know of no "driver" for a CD drive (in modern machines, at least), and nothing related shows up in the driver list on HP webstie for this laptop. I did reinstall the chipset drivers as well as some other driver updates; no change. Re-seating the drive didn't help.
I also replaced the original drive with another, and got the same result...driver install failure.
Any solutions?
Thanks

Yes you need to remove upper and lower filters from the registry. Microsoft has a KnowledgeBase article about it with an autofix, but I have had better luck manually editing the registry:

Combo Drive won't read DVDs - How to Install Tiger?

I have an iMac G5 with a Combo drive (Matshita CD-RW CW-8123) that no longer reads DVDs. It handles CDs fine. Other postings offer complaints about Super drives with similar problems, but I have found no solutions. My warranty has expired. I would like to install Tiger, but the installation disk is a DVD. So is the installation disk for iLife '06. Other postings have suggested that installing a new optical drive doesn't always fix the problem. Since I'll be paying for this, that doesn't sound sound like a promising option. Should I purchase an external drive? In the meantime, is there any other way to install Tiger without the DVD? I have other macs that work fine, so I really don't need the DVD to work properly except to install new software. Suggestions are welcome!

An external drive is a great option.
With that, you will likely get a much more capable drive than you would if you were stuck with only the models that will fit in your iMac.
For example, my PC has a 16x Dual-Layer DVD-R drive. But, most Apple compatible Internal drives are still limited to 8x.
So, you could likely get a much faster and more capable external drive than you could an internal drive for the same price.
With an external drive, you can also keep that drive should you get another machine. And, if you have more than one machine, you can connect the drive to whichever machine requires it at the moment. So, essentially, you can upgrade all your systems with just one DVD drive.
And, best of all, you have a product that is covered by it's own warranty, and not subject to how you installed it. And, you don't have to tinker inside your machine.
Also, OS 10.4.x "Tiger" is available on CD-ROM. So, you could send in for the replacement disks if you have the retail box of OS 10.4 Tiger.
From the OS 10.4 "Tiger" sales page:
"Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95. "

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 -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/F /mnt

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
