DVD ROMS Ejecting after start up.

System Configuration:
CPU: 2.5 Ghz P4
Motherboard: Motherboard- MSI 865PE Neo2-V (V Class)
Chipset 865PE + ICH5 Chipset base
RAM: 500 Mb
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9200 SE
Operating System: Windows XP home edition
Nb. Two DVD drives connected master & slave on IDE2
I have an unusual situation. Please help. I have run out of ideas.
Dilemma
1. I boot up my system.
2. I click to enter my desktop environment (3 other users share this PC).
3. My system starts to load my processes.
4. While loading the processes my DVD drive door(s) shoots out in the open position. Sometimes both shoot out together and sometimes only one.
5. If I go into my windows explorer, I notice that the drive letters for the two drives are missing. I then have to reload them by using “my computer” management area. If I do not do this my applications will tell me that no drive exists. I have a DVD ROM and a DVD RW.
Other observations:
The drives never go missing in device manager. The drives only go missing in windows explorer if the DVD doors open. Sometime the doors may stay shut and everything is well. Sometimes the problem is frequent and sometimes it seems to have gone away.
Been there done that:
1.   I unloaded all DVD burner software
2.   I changed the IDE ribbon cable
3.   I unloaded the CD/DVD drivers and rebooted
4.   I disconnected one DVD at a time and rebooted.
5.   I checked for viruses using Norton 2005 (with latest definitions)
6.   I checked my application/disc integrity using Norton Win Doctor
7.    I Joined this forum for help

Update:
10. I swapped around the cables going to the IDE ports on the motherboard. Switched ROMS to IDE 1 and switched HD to IDE 2
11. I dismounted the virtual drive in CD Anywhere manager.
Problem disappears after I “only” completely remove cd Anywhere:
I completely removed the cd Anywhere software. Also using cdacleaner.exe and removing the registry entries as instructed by the supplier. The problem did not return.
Stop the clock –solution found.
I have an application called CD Anywhere that starts up at the beginning of loading. Only after I disabled this process that the problem with the DVD drives ejecting was resolved. I contacted the supplier about the problem and they furnished me with a fix, so far so good, everything is working fine. If you are wondering what CD Anywhere is, it’s a virtual drive software for convenient loading of CD images without the hassle of physically loading the original cd. Its supplied by a company called Vcom.

T2000 DVD-ROM ejecting DVD

Hello,
I am having this little annoying problem. I am installing Sol 10 OS onto the brand new T2000 but every time I reboot or reset the server the install DVD gets ejected and I have to re-insert it. I don't remember having this problem on any other servers with Solaris installed. Is there a setting to change this behavior?
thanks,
GE

Cd/dvd rom fail after the mountain lion installation

Recently, I installed os (the mountain lion) on my 2009 mac mini. Data CDs and DVDs are available to see but not working(internal super drive). also every audio cd is not recognized at all. I tried to downgrade os to lion but it does not work too. Therefore, I re-installed ML and wait for Apple's updates.
Some update patches I downloaded a month ago was working good but it became dead again after installing other updates.
I hope Apple staffs would take care of this issue because many customers have purchased mac for its safety, innovation and faithful care.

No.
You just need to show the update again.
Go to your account and "Show hidden purchases" or something like that.

Satellite A200-23U - DVD-ROM problem after firmware update

Hi! I have A200-23U (TSSPcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H). I update firmare first to TO02, then to TO03. None errors was shown. After reboot my device is locked (doesn't open/eject by button or by any software) and ImgBurn (for example) can't find any writers. In system devices now it's shown as:
IDE\CDROMTSSTCORP_CDDVDW_TS-L632H________________*BOOT*____\5&1AC5D6C0&0&0.0.0 (I think there must be *TO03* but no *BOOT*)
What's wrong and how can i fix it?
PS Sorry for my bad english .)

I won!! TSL632H_TO??.exe - it's just SFX-archive that can be unpacked by WinRAR (for example). And then we got SFDNWIN.exe program and firmware dump file (*.bin) separately, which can be used to upload firmware without any checks (compatible/non compatible).
*WARNING!!! NO ANY WARRANTIES!!!*

DVD - rom disappeared after stand-by

Hi after install win 8.1 on macbook i can't see dvd rom in my devices

hi
after i download new bootcamp and install new windows 8.1 pro i saw my dvd rom but after half an hour my dvd/cd rom removed and i can see this device in device manager.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Sunblade 1000 will boot from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM

I have Sunblade 1000 with a pre-installed Solaris 8 OS. I originally purchased the workstation without a CD-ROM. I bought an old Sun 411 CD-ROM. After installing the 411 CD-ROM, I entered "boot cdrom". Somehow it will not boot from the CD-ROM drive. When I do a "probe-scsi-all" I will often get "fatal scsi errors", but sometimes the SCSI info will be displayed, bizzare. When I type the explicit or long device name with the boot command, it still will not boot. After looking for solution in the Internet and exhausting a few UNIX friends from my questions, I called Sun. According to Sun, the only compatible CD-ROM for the Sunblade 1000 is the DVD-ROM, which is OEM by Sun,and usually ships with this workstation.
After, getting over the shock that Sun sold the Sunblade 1000 without providing backward compatibility, and suffering the humiliation of spending much need company resources for a potentially useless CD-ROM, we broke down and bought the DVD-ROM.
After spending $500 dollars for the DVD-ROM, the Sunblade still cannot boot from the DVD-ROM. If I boot from the disk, and after the system comes up, the DVD-ROM shows that it is mounted, I can browse it's content, etc.
I currently have the Solaris Installation CD in DVD-ROM drive. I also tried booting off the Solaris 2.51, and 2.7 CDs. Here are some info that comes back when I entered the various commands:
ok banner
SUNW, Sun-Blade-1000 (UltraSPARC-III), Keyboard present OpenBoot 4.0, 512 MB memory installed.....yada yada
ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@8, 700000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f File and args
boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter filename[kernel/sparcv9/unix:
ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@8, 700000/scsi@6
Fatal SCSI error at script address 8 Illegal instruction
Fatal SCSI error at script address 8 Illegal instruction
Thanks in advance,
Joe

I'm quoting from an old usenet article from Tony Walton
(@...sun.com)
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=solaris+probe-scsi-all+reset+auto-boot&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&site=groups
�
You should only run probe-scsi after the hardware has reset
but before it's initialized to start running Solaris (you
might get away with stopping then running probe-scsi early
in the boot sequence, but that's only a matter of luck,
really).
The recommended sequence is to disable autobooting if it's
set (so the machine won't boot itself automatically after a
PROM reset), then reset the hardware, then probe-scsi, then
re-enable auto-booting (if it was enabled in the first
place).
So, go to the ok prompt, then
setenv auto-boot? false
reset-all
probe-scsi (or probe-scsi-all)
setenv auto-boot? true
reset-all

DVD-Rom drive in Satellite C655-S5128 not working properly in Windows 8

I recently upgraded my system from Windows 7 to Windows 8. However, the DVD-Rom drive after the upgrade no longer works properly -- it now treats the pre-recorded disk as if it was completely blank. I tried reinstalling the Toshiba Disc Creator, but that did not work.
Any solution?

You apparently did not use the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant in upgrading to Windows 8. See HERE for DVD and Disk Creator problems occurring during the upgrade and solutions.

Pioneer DVD-ROM will not eject after some time of system usage

I'm having an odd issue where after my Mac Pro is used for a certain amount of time (it seems variable), the optical drive will no longer seemingly be recognized. It shows up in the hardware profile for the system, however when I hit the eject key, Toast starts up instead of my drive responding. Further, when Toast or any other CD / DVD writing utility is started after this occurs, the drive is not recognized in these applications.
Any idea as to what could potentially be going on here?
The thing that throws me the real curve ball is that it DOES work for a little while when the system is restarted and then just "disappears" as noted.

If it's not the original Apple DVD drive, make sure "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" is not enabled in "Energy Saver" system preference, then reboot the system.

I just put in a dvd rom disc and I can't get it to read or eject

Hello I just inserted a dvd rom disc into my imac and I cant get it to eject or to read

try these steps to get the disc out:
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. )
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

CD and DVD'S eject 5 sec after put in. on ibook g4

I've been reading a bunch of posts about ejection of cd & dvd 5 sec after it is put in. mine started it today. i read a post about a lose connection. so i tapped on the computer very kightly and the disk 1 started to spin, and stayed in for 30 sec. after 5 times of doing the same thing i grabbed the 9.2 disk.put it in and it tried to install.so i tried again this time tapping and holding it upside down on my shoulder. after doing the clicking all the yes's i put it upside down on the couch. ckecked it a few times and it was installing the os 9.2 i was playing with the 9.2 and have not tried to put the os 10.4 back in the ibook. i just thought this was very strange...if anyone else tries please post it . thanks

The obvious!?! there might be something stuck in the drive. It's happend to me part of a label had come off in the drive. Causing the drive to eject cds/dvds.
How did I find out? I ended up swapping the drive. Opened up the old drive and found the label.
Another problem could be a loose connection. You need to lift the keyboard, take out the memory shield. Just to the right of the memory slot. You will see either an orange or white flat cable. The cables can come loose. You can check to see if the white cable is sitting parallel with the connector.
This guide will take you through the steps

Also is the drive showing in your system profiler?

Computer can't find DVD/CD-ROM drives after installing iTunes

After installing iTunes, my computer no longer can detect my DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives. They've disappeared from the "My Computer" window.
I ran "System Restore" and the disc drives showed up, but now they're undetected once again after I re-installed iTunes. I've restarted, I've uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes, I've run the built-in diagnostic self-checks on the drives, I downloaded updated drivers, I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, spent 1 hour on the phone with Apple support, and finally spent 2 hours on the phone with Dell Support. Nothing. Please help--I want to be able to use my iPod with Windows.

Hey there. May I interject? Anyone mind?
For the most part, what's occurring is one of two things. Either...
A) an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
or
B) a virus (or trojan) burrows its way into your file structure, and creates an element of itself disguised as a .SYS file. We've seen this happen before with viral elements disguising themselves as audio or video card driver files, in the efforts of masking themselves from lower-class anti-virus programs (or un-updated ones). In this case, they take on the name of a driver file that the optical drives are "familiar" with, and so, with the intention of being "fast, friendly, and efficient", the optical drives are tapped to utilize this new "driver" file... and it gets referenced in the registry as such.
However, when your anti-virus actually snaps to it, and removes the virus / trojan, and you go off on a virus-killing mission, galavanting through the registry and cleaning the little buggers out in Safe Mode and everything... you might remove the viral elements... but... the reference to them might still remain. The device manager is still looking for that "driver file", and will cause the optical drives to lock up in a Code 39 or Code 41 because of it.
Either way, the thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal
I don't know if this will help, I think it should.
Good Luck. Post back if you have a problem.

Dudes! Let me weigh in here as a computer doofus and CD whiz. I'm kinda helpless in OS-X, but with laser problems I have 20 years of experience on all makes (as a retired CD and DVD technician). I've never seen a "Cleaner-CD" that did more than you could do with a puff of air like to blow out a candle. The coating on the laser lenses attracts dust and gets frosted with things like smoke from cigarettes and incense (things basically of an oily nature). But since our BoulderBoy can read CDs, there must be some recognition routine that the machine is failing at. A lens can be surgically cleaned with a humid (not wet) Q-tip (I made thousand$ doing just that) if your technique is good, but this sounds like an internal sensor or switching routine. Not worth servicing, try some voodoo. I used to keep some Brazilian "tools" for makes like Tandberg, Futterman, and Carver... things like a stone hammer for alignments and a gourd rattle for mysterious ghosts in the machine.

K7T266 Pro2-RU won't start DVD rom drive

Hi,
I have a K7T266 Pro2-RU MB running XP 1800+. I have been using it for over a year. Recently, I found out that I need to add a new HD to my system as I was running out of HD space. Let's start by giving my original system spec:
K7T266 Pro2-RU
512 MB DDR2100 RAM Kingston
Althon XP1800+
windows XP professional sp1
2 WD 80GB raid0 connected to IDE 3 and 4
IDE 1 master 16X DVD-rom
IDE 2 master 48X CDRW
I purchased and added a 120GB WD 7200 RPM (2MB model) to IDE 1 slave. Initially, everything was happy. I partition the new 120 GB into 3 logical drives each for 40GB. Last week, I decided to repartition the 120GB into 1 120 GB. The DVD-rom stopped functioning. Windows XP said it won't start (error code 10). I un-installed and let windows re-installed its driver and it still won't start. I re-partitioned the 120GB HD into 2 60 GB HDs and same problem. I have not tried re-partition the 120 GB into 3 HDs again. But I will later this week. Does anybody know what the problem may be?
My MB is running the next to the latest version of the Bios (I just checked last night).
Does anybody know what the problem may be?
Any comment is welcome.
David

wonkanoby,
thanks for your help. After opening up my case, I tried setting my 120 GB HD to master jumper and the DVD to slave. They both remained on the same IDE port. It seems to have solve the problem. I am crossing my finger for this one. If it fails again later, I will try your suggestion.
Again, thanks for your help.
David :D
