Dvd drive not loading properly

when I load a dvd in mplayer I get this message
Failed to open dvd://1
or totem i get this message
Failed to find mountpoint for device /dev/sr0
I have added my user to optical, hal and dbus and all .
My drive is in fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

I notice tho that they are all wanting or trying to mount it as /dev/sr0 , why ?
I changed fstab to have it as sr0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
but no go .
It seems it might have something to do with rights, although I have added user to video,audio,optical,hal,dbus. but when I press eject I get this error,
You are not privileged to eject the volume 'OPEN_SEASON'.
it must be something simple that is screwing it all up.

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.

It might be broken. Take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP for a free diagnosis and estimate for repair.

Error code 39 - CD/DVD drive not working properly

Satellite C55D-5170 came with Win 8 and the first automatic software update upgraded it to Win 8.1.
I believe this is the first time I have tried to access the DVD drive but I had successfully used the flash drive. The DVD drive is not recognized. The Device Manager, under DVD/CD-ROM drives shows the yellow triangle in front of TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU-208FB. Clicking on that shows the following:
Location: Bus Number 2, Target Id 0, LUN 0
Device status
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
{Unable to Load Device Driver}
%hs device driver could not be loaded
Error Status was 0x%s
I looked through these forums and found that this Code 39 is frightfully common and does not seem to have an answer. I went to Microsoft's site and using their fix it, but nothing changed. I tried to update the driver but got the message saying I already had the current driver. I uninstalled the driver and rebooted the laptop and the driver was reinstalled but nothing changed, still not recognizing the DVD drive.
I need a solution so that I can install a WiFi router. It would be nice to play some CDs as well. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide a solution.

Optical DVD drive not working properly: HP notebook g61

Game disks and dvd movie disks not working consistently. Sometimes detected as empty dvd disk and asks if I want to burn to the disk. Other times does not read that there is a disk in the drive. Computer is about one month old. On one of my game disks, I have to reinsert 4 or 5 times before it will read properly. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you use the disk drive a lot. Before we panic and recommend a new drive, try a DVD lens cleaner you can pick up at any place that sells a lot of DVDs, like even WalMart. Run the cleaner disk and see if that helps.

CD/DVD drive not working properly

Hello, I have a Satellite L305-S5907. I just received it Dec. 2008. Recently I installed a game. Stronghold 2 and had trouble with disk 2. I managed to get it installed. When I would put in the play disc it would not always recognize it so I uninstalled the game. When I try to re-install, Autorun does not come up and when I look in My Computer the D drive does not show that the game is in the drive. This happens with another game I am trying to install also. When I put them in the drive it just clicks and the yellow light flashes and nothing happens. Sometimes previously installed games play and sometimes it does the same as above. My drives are up to date and show that they are working properly. I also put in a DVD and got the same thing. I have cleaned the disks and open and closed the drive many times. Nothing is working. thanks

You are using Windows Vista on your computer, right? Try the following steps and it might probably solve your problem.
- Click on the Start or Pearl button then type regedit on the Start Search box. Click regedit on the Programs List. It will open the Registry Editor window.
- Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- Delete UpperFilters and LowerFilters on the right pane then restart your computer.
- Check My Computer if the ODD will show up.
Another option is to download the automatic removal tool for the filters. The download link is http://tinyurl.com/5v8v52. Let me know if this will work or not so that we can try other options for your problem.

DVD drive not working properly.....

here's the info on whats going on:
when i try to put in a CD/DVD it spits the disk out right away. after trying to put it in about five times or so, the drive takes it, makes its fancy noises to make me think that its reading the disk, but the computer doesnt recognize that it has one in the drive. sometimes it spits the disk out, but other times it will just keep it.
ive been reading posts from other users with similar issues and done everything that everyone has tried i.e. going to disk utilities and "verifying the disk" (it says everything is working normally), tried to "repair" the drive, and when i go the the info section about my disk drive it says that its read/writable, but not ejectable.
here is the info that it gives me, maybe this could be of some help to try and narrow down the possible problems:
Name : FUJITSU MHY2160BH Media
Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
Disk Identifier : disk0
Media Name : FUJITSU MHY2160BH Media

the last thing that i havent done is do a full restart of the computer. that is my last resort. anyone have any ideas on what to do?
thank you for your time.

I have a question similar to this.....
Just recently (no updates/changes, etc) my CD drive stopped working. It won't let me enter a CD at all. It is as if there is something in there blocking it. I tried restarting the computer, but that didn't help. It acts like I have to force it in there, but I really don't want to do that. As far as I know there's nothing in there, as I rarely use the drive. Please advise if there is any sort of resets I can do for the drive (I'm still trying to get the hang of my MAC).
Thank you for any assistance!!!!

My cd/dvd drive not working properly will not read a recently burnt cd

When i burn a cd it says that i have inserted a blank cd

Lenses inside the drive can be dirty as well.
BestBuy/Walmart carry "drive cleaning" kits ... a special disk that you load with cleaning solution is inserted into the drive, then ejected after running it for a minute or two.

DVD Drive Not Functioning Properly

Hello,
Earlier tonight i created a Burn Folder for some music, and it was set up to burned onto a Data DVD. I inserted the disc, and OSX acknowledged it, and asked what i wanted to do with the disc. When i selected "Open Finder" i get a pop-up box stating:
"The Disc Cannot Be Used Because It Is Not Recognized"
I've checked multiple times, and used multiple times, all the discs i've tried are brand new, and these DVDs have worked for me in the past.
If anyone can shed some light on this situation it would be very helpful.
Thanks for reading.

U300 Touchpad Driver for Windows 8 Does Not Load Properly

I have spent a few hours with both Microsoft Premier Technical Support and (a very grumpy) Lenovo technician. They have both confirmed that the Windows 8 touchpad driver that is currently posted on the Lenovo site for the U300S does not load properly. It will, as many have reported, disable the touchpad altogether. There seems to be an issue with the loader installing files for both a Synaptics and a Cypress touchpad. This creates an apparent conflict that relegates the touchpad as useless.
If you choose to install this driver, I would recommend that you create a store point so that it can be easily recovered.
A standard mouse works just fine (albeit without any Win8 functionality).
***Lenovo should pull this damaging driver down from their site until a certified replacement can be prepared.***

Hi,
If the computer is OEM, please refer to the user guid manual to know how to boot into WinRE to recovery your system.
Meanwhile please try to enable or disable Secure Boot by referring this article:

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have loaded twice and still no compressor.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have tried reloading but still no compressor.

Start by repairing permissions. Then remove Compressor using this utility:
FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
Then reinstall and try to load Compressor. If it fails, post the error statements here.
Good luck

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

Were you having issues with the CD ROM before? I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebook, I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please respond with which Operating System you are running:

DVD Drive not working, even new one

Hi! I have a PB G4 1.5 Ghz, Mac OSX 10.4.11, 4 years old piece (perhaps a little more). Everything has been fine until recetly my DVD Drive just refused to work. Doesnt read/write etc. Funny since I wrote a DVD, when I inserted teh next one, it stopped working. I tried all efforts mentioned at Apple support, then considered the drive dead.
I bought a new external LaCie DVD Burner. But after a coupel of weeks, that too has stopped working. I am wondering if there is something corrupted in the OS that prevents DVD drives from fucntioning properly. Anyone c an throw light on this one?

hello... any advice anyone?
