DVD drive not detected (K9N2GM-FD)

For some reason my motherboard( K9N2GM-FD) is not detecting my DVD drive.
Here is the setup I'm using:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 Brisbane 2.7GHz
Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
MSI K9N2GM-FD AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
a lite on DVD drive(model DH-20A4P33C) I bought at walmart
Antec NeoPower 550 550W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
The DVD drive is an IDE drive and it's getting power(I can open and close it).
I tried changing some things in the bios, trying a different drive, and trying a different IDE cable still can't get it to work.
every thing passes post test.
And the bios is version 1.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You did use proper standoff's to mount the board in the case?
yes
BTW, the controller is turned on I presume.
yes
If all is mounted correctly and there isn't any short, then I would RMA the board.
Ok I'll RMA it
Thanks for the help

Hp g6000 dvd drive not detected in my computer, tried registry fix and still not working.

Hi i have a hp g6093ea laptop and for a couple of weeks now i have had my dvd drive dissapear from my computer.
i have the tried the registry thing where you delete the upper and lower filters and then restart laptop.
it worked then couple days later it was gone again.
i have removed the dvd from laptop and clean the connection and put it back still the same.
i was told to remove any burning programs and reinstall so i did that and the drive came back then after reboot went again.
the dvd drive ejects and has power and attempts to read the disk but its just not detected in my computer.
i have even been into the bios and put cd drive as boot first.,
then put my bootable xp pro disk in and it wont boot from the bios.
so i thought i would try an external drive to boot from bios, and it doesnt boot from there either.
i have had the drive randomly pop up in my computer and then after a restart it would be gone again.
so i cant put a fresh install on my laptop and i dont know what else i can do.
any help
thanks

How old is your laptop?
Have you had any other problems, besides the dvd drive, in the past few months?

DVD drive not detected anymore

Hi,
four weeks ago or so, I suddenly started to miss my DVD drive in my mount- and even in my /dev folder. From some point of time on (most likely some kernel patch), it just wasn't detected anymore.
Technically it still works, I can still boot from boot CDs, it's appearantly just a kernel detection thing.
I have this mainboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P4VM890 with my harddisk hanging on IDE0 and my DVD drive and CD writer on IDE1.
The output of dmesg doesn't mention anything else then the successful detection of sda0-5.
Things I tried already are:
-Pata hook only, IDE hook only, both, including kernel update.
-Putting ide_disk, cdrm, piix into the MODULES section.
-All combinations of master/slave settings for my HDD and other drives on poth IDE ports.
-All related BIOS-settings
-CK-Kernel, Beyond, etc.
Now in this Thread coolpyrofreak suggested to reinstall Arch with IDE-legacy enabled.. which I guess I have to try at some point, but I don't relly want to install another distribution or windows just be able to burn another arch cd.. and even though it's probably not too much of a hassle to reinstall arch and just keep my old home folder, I thought I'd give it one last try here. I still hope the ide-legacy-option can be activated afterwards. Does anyone know how? Or does anyone have any other idea what I should do?
Thanks in advance.

Iirc ide-legacy has the same result as using ide instead of pata in mkinitcpio.
I've encountered the same problem in my desktop : DVD writer disappeared twice , but came back a few updates later
currently it has disappeared again ...
Using ide or pata doesn't make a difference, i'm inclined towards a kernel/udev/hal related combination problem.

Please Help me..... DVD drive not detected, Vista home basic 32 bit

Hi,
I have a compaq presario v3702au laptop with Vista basic 32 bit OS.
The dvd drive has suddenly vanished and is not detect by device manager. It show up in the BIOS and brifly powers up while booting(tray comes out on pressing the button) , but does not recieve power once booted( tray does not come out on pressing the button).
there are no upper and lower filters present so this remedy is not for me, ms fixit tool also could not help as it could not find any optical drive.
The hardware itself seems to be alright because if I press F8 to get to boot options ( Safe mode, etc) and insert a disc , the drive tries read it (ie. Drive receives power, tray opens and the disc also spins), but once the boot starts the dvd button becomes non functional as if it is not receiving power.
I really need my optical drive and would greatly appreciate any help on this .
Thanks in advance,
Sankr

So does it fully boot from the optical drive? All the other symptoms you describe are fully consistent with a dead drive, but if you can boot to a bootable disk then the drive is OK

DVD Drive not detected after Vista reinstall/recover

Hi,
I was having various problems with my computer (dv6815nr) so I did a complete recovery using the recovery image
on the hard drive. Everything seems to work now except the dvd drive is not working. it is not detected in device manager.
I have tried all the fixes and "mr. fix its" that i could find on the ms knowledge forum. i have also checked the registry for the upper/lower filters as described on the ms website and also in this forum. i have also removed, rebooted, shutoff and then reinstalled the drive with no results. any help would be greatly appreciated.
gocd1

yes, the drive was working immediately before the recovery. I noticed that the drive was not working when i went to install the windows ultimate upgrade disc. drive lights up, spins disc and then nothing. Also, i have physically removed the drive from the computer, shut off computer removed power supply (cord and battery) held down power button for 30 seconds restart computer with drive not in computer and then shutoff again and physically reinstall drive. Also have done uninstall of all IDE/ATA controllers channels in device manager and then restart as recommended on another post. looked on another hp6700 and found "cd/dvd" on device manager list and mine does not have that. so not sure why dvd drive would be in ide/ata channel list.

Dvd drive not detected

I have a HP Pavilion dv6700 entertainment PC. ive had it for a good while and the dvd drive doesn't work in it. i tried the drive in another computer and it worked. I also tried a bootable disk and it didn't work. I checked the BIOS and set the dvd drive as first startup and tried again but it was no good. Is there any hardware problem or switch i should know about to get it working on my laptop again?

CD/DVD drive not detected on Pavilion dv9927 notebook

My HP notebook is getting on my nerves and I don't know if this is an HP issue or a Windows Vista 64-bit issue, but has been an ongoing problem for months and I need a fix. When a disc is placed in the drive, you can hear it start up, but then nothing else happens. I have checked the BIOS and the drive is listed, however it is missing from My Computer and the Device Manager. To date, I have run Microsoft Mr. Fix It a minimum of five times with no success. I have manually gone through the whole "regedit" solution to remove upper and lower filters, which are not present and therefore not removeable. I have combed through numerous forums and have yet to find a successful solution. My most recent attempt was to run sfc /scannow in the Command Prompt and received the following:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.logs
How do I fix my laptop without becoming a computer tech expert or buying a replacement?

Since it does not show in device manager you only have a few options.
Replace the drive with a new one or a known good drive, see if that one is picked up by device manager.
Reinstall Windows and see if it detects the drive now.

i guess i forgot to mention in my original post that registry limits were not the problem...they dont even exist...as i did mention, i tried different fixes which included

as well as manually checking the registry and every other file mentionable my friend has not been able to find her original disk yet, so that remains untried as of date....and BTW, an usb external cd/dvd drive works just fine....but we dont want a patch, we would like to fix the problem and use the internal drive the laptop came with....

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

Windows 7 install stops at "CD/DVD driver not found"

When trying to install Windows 7 with boot camp, all goes well until it stops and gives me the "CD/DVD driver not found". I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro with a 500 GB SSD drive. I have burned a DVD at 1X from a iso file.
Thanks

Can you verify the MD5/SHA1 of the DVD with the ISO using OS X 'openssl md5' or the M$ FCIV tool? The source of your ISO should be able to provide MD5/SHA1.
OS X Example
openssl md5 ~/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr
MD5(/Users/MyName/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr)= 977f4f0f1400be91855789213e07b031

Dvd drive not worked properly

i have hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my dvd drive that's all.

tcrite,
Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

My dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark.

my dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark. Tried uninstallingdevice drive and scanning for new hardware. scanned for updates, etc. I getting no results. The laptop is a Pavilion DV5. Thanks

Hi,
It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, open Device Manager, right click the DVD drive and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows rediscover the device and check.
Regards,

HT5639 after The Boot Camp for Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

after i made The Boot Camp Setup for running Microsoft Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

thanks for the response
1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion
