DVD\CD ROM driver problems

Windows 7 64-bit. I got a HP DVD A DH16AAL SCSI CdRom, and is saying a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality (code 32), how do i fix this

Hi,
With the optical drive connected, open windows Conyrol Panel, open Device Manager, open DVD/CD - ROM drives, right click on the DH16AAL and select Uninstall. When this process has completed, restart the PC and let Windows re-discover the Hardware and hopefully reload the driver.

Problems with my DVD/CD-ROM Drive (MS-8216)

I have a BIGGGG problem with my DVD/CD-ROM Drive (MS-8216)
I was copying somethin in my comp, and the cd got BOOOM into pieces inside.
My warranty expired 1 month ago, so i clean it in the inside. After this it is like this :
- i can watch 700mb movies AVI format with no problems, but when i want to copy anything in my comp from the cd it always stops rotating at 6% of copiyng and BANG it stops and an error has acourde. Same with the dvd's. Please don't ask me about my comp config couse i know it has no problem with that. I left every thing like it was inside --- impecable, no wiress unplugged and i've upgraded the firmware also
What can it be. Thank you

if you can read the CD, but not copy from it, try this program:
Isobuster
It allows you to read with a much better accuracy than the generic windows driver.
However, i'm afraid your drive has been damaged in the explosion and this is only a work around, not a real solution.
The good point is that DVD burner are now cheap, but it is not much...

With the iPod connected and allow use as disk drive checked, right click on the ipod icon on your desktop then change the drive letter of the iPod, say to P. Eject the iPod and disconnect it, reboot your computer and see if the drive is back.

Satellite A660 DVD/CD-ROM drive does not detect discs

Hi there,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a MAT****A BD-CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM drive. It is about 18 months old and recently I have noticed that it does not recognise any CDs/DVDs. It makes a couple of noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in My Computer view.
Please note there seems to be no apparent problems with the drive:
- It is present in My Computer
- The device is working properly in device manager
Things I have already tried:
- Run Microsoft FixIt and CD-ROM/DVD Troubleshooter - both said it could not recognise media
- Deleted upper filter in the registry as per many suggestions (no lower filter present)
- Updated driver
I don't know what else to do. Please help as this is frustrating for a relatively new notebook which never is moved from my desk (don't expect many damaged parts).
Cheers

As I said: clean the laser lens
If you open the CD/DVD drive you will see the small laser lens.
Use cotton wool tip and alcohol

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.

Satellite P105 - DVD/CD ROM drive does not work

The DVD/CD ROM drive on my P105 does not work at all. I've tried the registry fix for the upper/lower limit thing - didn't fix the problem. The drive does have power, does spin a disk, but it is not recognized by the system. It doesn't show up in the device manager at all. I need to get this working and I'm hoping it doesn't need a new drive as this machine is out of warranty (of course!). Thanks for any and all suggestions on hot to fix this problem.

Howdy folks. This thread has a lot more views than the one I posted to, but go here to the following message for a possible solution to your CD/DVD Drive issue:

Dvd/ cd-rom driver disabled !!!

I have gone thru all of apple's recommendations multiple times, and I still cant get this problem to go away. Please help!!!

There should be a category that says "DVD/CD-ROM drives" in Device Manager.
Are you sure both the sata and power cables are connected to the disc drive inside the pc case?
Try the link below.
Unuinstall driver (skip this part if u dont have it), remove filters, then restart pc.

You can also check in the BIOS (F10) at pc startup and unde the Main menu it lists your disc drive and hard drive.

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.

Cannot install DVD/CD ROM drive after upgrading from Windows 7

I had a working DVD/CD-ROM drive before upgrading. Now it shows as Unknown Device in Device Manager, I tried uninstalling it and then scanned for hardware changes but it still does not work. I also tried manually selecting a CD-ROM drive for it but it
ends up with an error code 31. I also checked for {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} registry but it did not have lowerfilters key. How do I install the driver for it?

Hi,
The error code 31 means that Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.
Considering that this issue mostly can be caused by compatible issue.
Please check if you can fine the latest driver from Manufacturer’s website. If so, try to install it under Windows 10 compatibility mode: Right click the installer of the driver, choose Properties, choose Windows 7 under Compatibility
mode to install.
If the CD device still fails to work, I recommend to check the setupapi.dev.log under %windir%\inf, locate the device and find the line below:
dvi: Rank - 0x00000000
Then, corresponds the score in this link:
Identifier Score
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff546297(v=vs.85).aspx
The value 0x00003000 is the best identifier score and the value 0x00003FFF is the worst identifier score.
The score near 0x00003FFF means that the driver and device may not compatible with current system, we may need to wait for the menufacturer’s driver update.
Thanks for your understanding.

Driver files needed for the following Sony dvd/cd rom drive: "dvd-rom ddu 1615". windows xp

Driver files needed for the following Sony dvd/cd rom drive: "dvd-rom ddu 1615".
The dvd-rom drive will not read any type of dvd or cd.
desktop computer: Dell Dimension E310 , windows xp, service pack 3.
This Sony dvd rom was installed (by someone else) and replaced the dvd rom that initially came with the Dell E310.
Where can I find driver files for this dvd rom?
Thanks,
Denise

Hello Denise,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
All of the Sony internal optical drives are plug & play with Windows so no drivers are required for detection in your PC. If you are having issues getting your drive detected then please try the following:
• Ensure the Sony drive is set as a secondary master by itself. If you have another disc burner or a zip drive on the same IDE cable, please separate them.
• Ensure you have the latest Service pack for your Windows operating system and any other updates for your system installed.
service, storage support email
• Please remove your secondary IDE channel from the Device Manager.
If the issue is still not resolved, service may be required. You may contact the Sony Storage support team by e-mail at: [email protected] for further information.
Thank you for your post.

I have a problem with my pavilion dv4-2045dx dvd/cd rom drive for windows 7 64-bit

I can play CD's and watch dvd movies fine. The drive have no problem reading cd and DVD's. My problem is with cd-rom and blank CD's and DVD's. I can't burn anything. For some reason, it won't read any cd-rom disks. This has never been a problem before. I tried the idea about the upper and lower filters but when I searched, I didn't see any upper or lower filters. I tried the microsoft fix it and nothing was wrong. I looked at the device manager and it shows no problem at all. What should I do next?

Hi, did you say this issue just started?
If so have you tried a system restore back to date when it was working?
Here is a link to a document on running a system restore...this is not like a recovery, it won't wipe out all your data
.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00807369&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N315

CD-rw/DVD rom drive problem

I am using IBM T43 type 1871 laptop. The problem is with my CD drive. It automatically ejects out every time it wants to.
The same won't happen if I put some CD in the drive. But the CD won't play properly as the system shows the autoplay often and in "my computer " the drive is shown blank for some time and after the autoplay the CD name would be given...
Is it the problem with software or hardware???
Can it be solved if I buy a new DVD drive or use an external??
Now I've removed the drive in order to evade this problem...
Please help me???

Hello,
I am assuming your ThinkPad T43 has a DVD±RW disc drive. Is that correct?
If so, can it read stamped (manufactured) CDs and DVDs? If it can, than the problem may be with reading the recordable CDs or DVDs that you are using. If not, than the problem could be a software one (i.e., related to the operating system) or a hardware one.
If you have a bootable CD or DVD, try configuring the ThinkPad to first boot from the DVD drive, and then attempt to boot from the disc. If that works, than you are likely dealing with a software problem. If the ThinkPad doesn't recognize the disc even at bootup, then the problem is likely with the DVD drive and it will need to be replaced.

Dual IDE CD-ROM drive problem

I just assembled my system using a K9A motherboard. My only hard drive is a SATA drive. I have a DVD-ROM and a DVD-RW on the IDE port (master and slave) Windows sees both drives, but Roxio won't see either. Also, if I try to flash the firmware on the DVD-Rom drive, it doesn't show up because it's configured by the system as pri-master, and the DVD-RW as pri-slave. I am thinking this is also Roxio's problem.
I may be a complete noob here, but is there something I have configured wrong? ATI chipset drivers are installed and updated.
Thanks!

I already did all available updates for Roxio 6 Platinum, which is what I have. I'll give Nero a shot.
What about the Firmware flash thing?
that should be last step. do not update it until you have tried all possibilities.
let we know the progress.

CD ROM drive problem after upgrade to 10

Had Solaris 8, worked fine for years. Upgrade to 10 an now the CD rom drive does not work properly. When you put in ANY CD, it goes in, spins for about 30 seconds, then the door opens and stays open. No file manager windows open, I cannot access the drive. Happens in the CDE and Java desktops. When I put a CD in and go Application_Manager-System_Manager, Eject CD ROM in that 30 seconds the disc stays in, I get an error:
date-9/usr/dt/bin/dtexec) sh
cdrom0: no such file or directory
when I try mount cdrom0, get mount point cannot be determined.
I have other problems with the OS but to fix those, I need the CDROM drive!
Any suggestions?

svcadm enable smserver
and that started it right up. Since that worked, I
added the line to the /profile file so now it loads
upon logging onYou should only need to enter that line once, not every time you log in.
Also, I only saw that bug in an older solaris express build (pre-FCS). Are you using Solaris 10 FCS?

DVD/CD rom drive reads CD's but does not read DVD's

i m having a problem in my laptop satellite c855d-s5106
my laptop's DVD ROM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT80N) reads CDs but when I insert a DVD in it, it doesn't even recognize that there is a DVD inside. my dvd indicator light blinks for just about 8-12 seconds and when i double click to E: (DVD drive) it says please insert a disk into Drive E: Also there are no error massages.
and i 've tried many things like registry cleaning, reinstalling drivers even upgraded my windows 8 to 8.1 but the fault is same
also could anyone provide me the firmware (update file) for HL-DT-ST GT80N
any help will be appriciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Called them and went through a BIOS reset and did not fix. One DVD-ROM will read another will not. One right out of the box in pristene condition won't read, another that has been used and has some scratches won't. Started talking a factory reset which is not an option at this time because of all the work related stuff and setup. Said she was kicking it up a level but they were all tied up and I have to call back. Case number 20140506452110.
Again, you close the door, it tries to spin up then spins down, then it tries again and spins down and nothing. In file manager the drive is shown but no disc lable and when try to open get the "please insert a disc into drive e:" message.
