DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway

  • Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

    I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
    One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
    I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
    But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
    What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
    Any ideas?

    Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

  • Driver does not appear in the selection tab Windows8

    NDIS protocol driver does not appear in the Selection Tab and hence I can not run any tests on it. The client operating system is Windows 8 64bit Pro Premium. I tried reinstall driver several times, reboot client and studio machines, but with no results.
    Client itself is connected to the studio and is in "Ready" state.
    There was no problem running the test on the same driver with Win7 64bit client OS.
    HCK version is 8.59.29854
    The driver is build with DDK7.1.0
    Any hints on how to debug this would be helpful.
    Dmitry

    Have you uninstalled and re-install the HCK client on the test system?  This can cause the entry on the controller to not match up with the actual client system.  If this is the case, and you have done no testing on the system (as all results will
    be lost), please try this:
    1) Uninstall the DTM client from the test system.
    2) Delete the client entry from HCK studio in the machine management section.
    3) Reinstall the DTM client on the test system.
    4) Wait for client entry appear in the "Default Pool"
    5) Change client status to "Reset", wait for it to become "Ready", and try locating the target as I describe above.

  • Canvio External Hard Drive does not appear in MY COMPUTER

    Sorry if the subject is in wrong section of the forum.
    I bought an External Hard Drive to use with my Windows 7 laptop. When connecting, sounds like a new device is connected, also appears listed in DEVICES & PRINTERS, but does not appear in MY COMPUTER, becoming impossible to access it anyhow.
    Procedures about how to format or change device letter (in DISK MANAGEMENT), although the device has been also shown there, haven't work.
    "Drivers" are listed as updated.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Jerry, thanks for trying to help.
    I download the KillDisk as your adviced.
    The Hardware appears there like:
    Hard Disk 2 (82h) TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 - [DEVICE IS NOT READY]
          Local Disk (2 - [DRIVE IS NOT READY]
    Available actions for each are: Mark / Unmark / Refresh.
    Any possibility of it is broken, or something?

  • Hard drive does not appear on the Desktop

    Hard drive does not appear on desktop. Can only be found in the applications folder.

    Go to Finder -> Preferences, click the General icon, make sure the appropriate box is checked.

  • My hard drive does not appear in the Finder window

    I installed a second internal hard drive inside my G5, but it never shows up in the finder window, nor anytime I try to access files from within applications (it appears on the desktop though). How can I configure my computer so that it always sees this drive and grants me access?

    The reason for resetting nvram is to force the G5 to rebuild the device tree, which it seems "loath" to do without a kick start.
    Swapping drives oddly enough seems to leave a profile in nvram for the old device.
    Personally, booting into Open Firmware is easier, thorough, and if that was all it was, works (never liked the reboot over and over zap pram which, to reset nvram, must be done from cold boot).

  • Why does my seconds hard drive does not appear in the list of volumes in Settings - Performance - work volumes

    Hallo,
    the photoshop installations is really slow after updating to version 2014. So I checkt all performance related facts. I the settings of photoshop I saw, that there is only the defauld drive (systemdrive) in list of volumes. This is not the optimal case. On a different PC (Windows 7 Pro), there are all volumes present that are listet in the windows explorer. I would like to change the Setting to a different drive. Where could be the problems?
    I tried and changed:
    - Changing SATA Mode from RAID to AHCI
    - Updated all drivers (chipset, grapghic ... verything, dell's update-software offered to me)
    here an image to show the problem (placing an image seams to be broken :-(
    Thanks for help

  • Need a driver for a HP Colour laser Jet 1600. This does not appear on the apple list. can anyone suggest where i get a driver from?

    This driver does not appear in the apple search list.
    Any ideas on where i can locate a driver.

    Try the HP site. Apple's drivers come from the printer vendors.
    Don't be all that surprised if there isn't an updated driver available; HP don't support superceded models with updates for every OS update.

  • New Downloaded/Installed Cannon PPD Print Driver does not appear in driver list

    I have downloaded and installed every new driver, 5 times, including he PPD driver for the Canon imagerunner 5570 printer, however when I add the printer the PPD driver does not appear in the list of drivers. the printer is on a wireless network and I was able to print before updating.  I had not set up Time Machine until today so I can't go back, or can I.   I am a new Mac owner so please be gentle.
    Thanks

    The PPD installer will copy files to HD > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > en.lproj and the file names will be "cnxxxx.pdd". Can you first check that you have all the files installed.
    If you do have the files then you can add the printer using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that the iR5570 does not support Bonjour so it won't appear in the Default view of Add Printer as Zlig suggested. You then enter the IP address of the iR5570, leave the queue name blank, change the name to something meaningful and then search for the ir5570 in the Print Using menu.
    If there are no Canon iR models listed in the Printer List (typing iR in the Search field will determine this) then you should try resetting the printing system as follows.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move the mouse over the Printers list.
    3. Hold down the Control key and then click the mouse
    4. Click on the 'Reset printing system' pop-up
    5. Close Print & Fax and restart your Mac
    This will remove all the printer queues from Print & Fax but will not remove the printer drivers installed on the Mac. So you can try adding your print queue to the iR5570 again using the process above.

  • How can I cancel my subscription if the "Cancel Plan" link does not appear in the screen?

    From your manual, you instruct the users to cancel the plan by accessing the manage plan screen and then click on the Cancel Plan button.
    However, how can the user cancel the plan if the Cancel link does not appear in the membership details screen?

    You need Adobe support to cancel a subscription

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
