HP Dv2000 CD/DVD doesnt work

hi,
lately I have realised that my CD/DVD drive doesnt work? I tried to burn a CD the other day but the program I use said it cannot see any availible burners. I checked the decive manager but I couldnt see it anywhere? The CD/DVD tray still ejects like normal and the LED still lights up but doesnt boot any type of disc. Any help is greatly appreciated

i am having this same issue. i tried to delete the registry for it and re install the drivers and all but keep telling me bad registry entry for it. even before i tried to delete it. HP wants 60$ to remotely fix it for me. some how when i bought this laptop i only got a 90 day warranty? i dont know how that could be. but i can put a cd/dvd in the player and it SOUNDS like its winding up to play it but then nothing is happpening. i cant find the drive in MY COMPUTER, with or with out a disc in the drive. please someone help us on this. ive seen posts all over the internet for this but not a single reply or any insight that might help.
thanks in advance

Upgraded to 10.6.8 now CD/DVD doesnt work in Bootcamp or Parallels??

It seems upgrade to 10.6.8 broke the connection to my CD/DVD drive. It no longer works in Parallels or Bootcamp. Originally Parallels said it was being used by another program or files were missing. I upgraded Parallels Desktop 5 to version 6 and now it sees it, but it fails to burn a DVD. Bootcamp fails to burn as well but sees it. What can I do to get my drive working correctly again? Help!?
Thanks

If you are experiencing the problem in both BootCamp (Windows) and Mac, then the problem is not software-related. Any upgrades made to the Mac OS (such as drivers or going from 10.6.x to 10.6.8) would not carry over when the machine was restarted. I'd suggest getting it taken in to check the optical drive, or possibly even the cable. Most good places won't charge just to take a look.

DVD doesnt work

Hi I have the Presario CQ 62-219 WM
My DVD has not worked since I got it as a gift, because Prior owner could not get it to work either. i have uninstalled driver re booted windows reinstalled driver still no luck, any help is Appreciated.. merry christmas..

@deafasheck ,
Hello and welcome to the HP support forums.
With an issue like this there might be more too it than just drivers. When dealing with an optical drive sometimes this becomes a mechanical issue.
The easiest thing to do in a case like this is to look at the cost between having a new optical drive installed
and getting an external usb optical drive.
Even though the Optical drive can open and close and you hear it moving it may have an issue with it's laser.
if it is not reading or seeing any media or not showing up at all you are looking at taking one of those options.
Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

Burned DVD DOESNT WORK!!!???? Help Please

This is my first time attempting to burn a dvd using DVD Studio Pro. I made a very simple DVD using a template and only two videos TRT: 65sec each. Both clips are in HD and one with surround sound audio (AC-3). I tried tweaking little things in the preferences to try and print a usable DVD, but still no success. I have watched the tutorial(included with FCS2 package) and read the parts of the manual concerning the exporting or burning process and still no luck.
In the log, about mid way through the burn process there was an error :
Warning: The file 'EX_DVD.layout' found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the dinal disc. (listed 2X)
Now i dont understand why when i play the DVD on my iMac it plays, yet none of my 4 (fairly new) DVD players will play it. I never had this problem with iDVD.
If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully someone out there knows exactly whats going on with my project.
Please respond either with solutions to my problem or your step by step burning process.
Thanx,
Aaron

Ok - the error about the layout file is normal... it is a warning and not an error, and perfectly OK.
Have a look on the disc using the finder - what folders do you see?
As Darren said, you can't switch from HD to SD, you have to re-author. You can switch the other way, mind you...
Let us know what folders are on the disc, and what you find inside them. Also, what did you set as 'first play' on your project?

My DVD drive doesnt work

My dvd drive doesnt work, and i want to format the HD, any ideas??? i have an external dvd drive but it doesnt recognice it when i want to install the OS,
... Maybe someone can tell me how. Thanks

Time to take your disc and your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP, I'm afraid. They should be able to reinstall the OS, etc. Have no idea what they would charge but I'm sure that it would not be too expensive.

MSI GF4 Ti-4200 doesnt work with WindowsXP

I can't get the MSI display tools to work - it crashes,
the vbios.dll doesnt load, it also crashes.
the tv in doesnt work ,it crashes
the tv out doesnt work ,it crashes.
all the supplied software also crashes "application has encountered an error and cannot continue. sorry for any inconvenience"
the intervideo software (windvr, wincoder, winproducer) and MSI PVI software all crashes as well.
what's the deal with this stuff? ?(
I have a Dual AMD athlon Tyan thunder k7 motherboard,
MSI Ti-4200-VTD video card and MSI tv anywhere card.
is there any resolution for this?

I'm sorry gfilitti if I don't have my system listed, but I thought my question was pretty simple...
Has ANYONE been able to make the InterVideo WinProducer 2 software, that comes with the retail version of the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 card, work successfully under the Windows XP Home or Pro operating system?
If the answer is YES, then I will begin investigating why my system can't.
If the answer is NO, then I only ask for other people's recommendations of what software WILL work in place of that. I NEED those functions to work. That's why I paid extra for the VIVO.
All we've heard so far in this thread are NO votes. I would like to see just how widespread this is. If I can find ONE person who claims it works fine on his/her computer under Windows XP, then my NEXT question would be if they had to do anything different to make it run, or was it just a straight install? Did they add the program patch available from the MSI website? See where I'm going with this?
If you would REALLY like my system details, here ya go...

BTW, I would think when investigating a program's FLAT refusal to run, that the MOST important things aren't listed in these signature files. It has to do with what ELSE is running at the same time. Which services are running and which are NOT? What memory resident programs are loaded at boot-up? Any service packs installed? How about any security patches from Microsoft? Which anti-virus software (if any)? Which DirectX version? Personal firewall? Etc., etc.
Granted, the hardware DOES have a factor, but I feel all of these are MORE important factors than the speed or brand of a persons hardware. I look at the signitures more as bragging rights than anything else.
Now, this is just my opinion and may not reflect the feelings of the more sane people around me.

Cannot connect to WLAN because FN+F8 doesnt work!?

Can anybody help or I have to get my notebook to guarantee. I have problem with wireless capability of my computer because FN+F8 doesnt work. I bought my notebook 3 days ago and thats very big problem for me. I have to get to wireless connection.
Please help
Riuno

I had the same problem on my new L300 laptop and the wireless adapter couldn't be found.
I was advised by my dealer that this is a problem that the software was not installed by Toshiba and the solution is to
create a backup DVD and reboot from that.
I created the DVD and the machine advised me to shut down & install some updates that had materialised.
The updates solved my problem.
I didn't get as far as rebooting from the DVD.
I don't know if the process of creating the backup opened the wireless driver, or whether while searching this forum (using a cable) the computer automatically checked for windows updates, but any way, it now works!

DVD wont work - please advise?

Hi,
I am trying to burn a DVD video with AC3 surround sound using DVD Studio Pro 3.
I have exported my individual stems from Pro Tools HD, imported into A.Pack and have a AC3 fie.
I have a quicktime movie.
I have created a new project, imported my video and audio as assets and everything works fine.
As I am wanting this to play without a menu, I have followed Apples online document to set up parameters as follows: -
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93812
I have tested my DVD in simulator and it works fine.
I have built and formatted my DVD as standard DVD.
Prefs as follows: -
Aspect ratio 4:3
video standard : - pal
Encode mode : - on build
I am then given my video and audio TS files.
I have tested my Video_TS files in DVD player on the mac and that works fine.
When I burn my DVD the mac ejects it when done.
I try to load the DVD to test in macs DVD player and the DVD doesnt come up on the desktop.
I try to load the DVD in the external DVD player and it cannot recognise the disk.
I have followed every help file I can find and simulator and DVD player show no problems.
Please can anyone help?

Wellcome to the forums!!
You didn't mention your burning workflow, but most probably there is your mistake.
I think the best is creating a Disc Image from your DVDSP project and then burn it using Toast or Disk Utility. Check this * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP Tutorial *.
Hope that helps !

QT v. 7.6.6 doesnt work

QT v. 7.6.6 doesnt work, which means iTunes doesn't work either, or any sounds for that matter. This is a recent thing, and no idea why.
Running MacOS 10.6.8. Have reinstalled QT 7.6.6 several times (from DVD, and from download), no luck.
Everything I've read so far indicates that QT 7.6.6 should work alongside QT X happily, but it just doesn't. Trying to open QT 7.6.6 just gets me the "quit unexpectedly" message. Opening iTunes gets me a 200 error. QT X seems to run OK.
Can anyone offer any help please?

Strange, it works fine on my OS 10.6.8 equipped system.
Running MacOS 10.6.8. Have reinstalled QT 7.6.6 several times (from DVD, and from download), no luck.
Are you referring to the QT 7 v7.6.6 (build 1709) Player here or the QT 7.6.6 (build 1789) Framerwork embedded in the v10.6.8 Snow Leopard operating system?

If you have corrupted the embedded framework structure, the only way to fix it is to re-install the entire operating system and upgrade it if necessary. When installed and operating properly, the independent QT X and QT 7.6.6 Player (as well as GarageBand and iTunes) apps should all be able to access routines in the embedded QT structure as needed depening on the 32-/64-bit nature of the calling application's needs assuming the apps and embedded structure are properly version matched.
Can anyone offer any help please?
Since you have not indicated the specific nature of the files you are trying to play, it is difficult to determing if your files are corrupted, the codecs invoved are not supported on your system, if the operating system/application software is mismatched, or your operating system is corrupted.

I have Itunes 10.6.3, and the update doesnt work on apple? Help!!

I have Itunes 10.6.3, and the update doesnt work on apple? Help!!

iTunes 10.6.3 is as high as you can go with OSX 10.5 To use your iPhone 5 you will need iTunes 10.7 at least which in turn requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher.
1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac and has at least 1GB RAM (at least 2 GB is recommended). Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window to "About This Mac". Does it mention "PowerPC" (not Intel), or Intel? To check RAM continue to "More Info...". It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
2) Buy a Snow Leopard disc from Apple online
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - USA
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - UK
or telephone Apple. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

Win 7 HDD Recovery doesnt work on Satellite L750

Hello
I`ve got Toshiba Satellite L750 with preinstaled win 7.
I instaled upgrade to win 8 (from dvd).
After this I upgrade the system from MS site to Win 8.1.
The system doesnt work properly (DVD doesnt recognized) so I have to install previuos system.
First I upgrade my BIOS to the new one - 3.60.
After this I try to do win 7 reinstal from my HDD recovery (which is on the partition d).But it doesnt work - it was impossible to start recovery from bios menu (key F8 doesnt work, there was only possible to press F2 or F12).
So I have to install Win 8.0 from my dvd, and now I have it and it works. But this is only clear system without any addons like nero, ms office etc.
My question is how to reinstal win 7 from my hdd recovery which i still have on partition d ?
in bios the key F8 doesnt work.

>After this I try to do win 7 reinstal from my HDD recovery (which is on the partition d).But it doesnt work
>My question is how to reinstal win 7 from my hdd recovery which i still have on partition d ?
in bios the key F8 doesnt work.
The HDD recovery will not work AFTER you changed the system.
In such case to go back to the factory preinstalled system (Windows 7) you need to use the Toshiba recovery disk which could be created with the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
In case you did not create such disk in the past you can order such disk here:

Hello Jor_El,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Transferring or downloading an iTunes Digital Copy
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1539
Open iTunes 9 or later.
On the left side of the iTunes, click iTunes Store.
In the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store window, click the Sign In button. If you are already signed in, skip to step 5.
Sign in to the iTunes Store using your Apple ID.
In the QUICK LINKS window in the right column of the iTunes Store, click Redeem.
In the resulting screen, enter the 12-digit code printed on the insert included with your DVD or Blu Ray disc. Then, click Redeem.
Best of luck,
Mario

The scroll it doesnt work with Lion

I just installed Lion in my iMac and in my Magic Mouse, it doesnt work anymore the SCROLL !!
in the options of mouse all its checked on.
No more scroll with Lion ???

depends where you live...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripping#Legality
In the USA for instance
In the case RealNetworks v. DVD CCA,[2] the final injunction reads, "while it may well be fair use for an individual consumer to store a backup copy of a personally owned DVD on that individual's computer, a federal law has nonetheless made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in a device or tool that permits a consumer to make such copies."[3]This case made clear that manufacturing and distribution of circumvention tools was illegal, but fair use of those tools was not.
A fresh install of Handbrake 0.9.5 64bit is working fine on Lion 1072 here

My Sony VAIO SVE14AA12U disk button sometimes doesnt work

My Sony VAIO SVE14AA12U disk button sometimes doesnt work and when it finally works it sometimes fails to read my disks.I unistalled the driver and after reboot I click the button and it worked, but when added a disk it jut dont read it. I´ve tried all type of disks new, burned, music and sometimes it reads them, but I got to open the tray with a pin. Please help!

Hi bellaybes,
Thank you for visiting Sony Community!
I am sorry to hear this kind of issue. Is the DVD/CD drive icon missing? Please follow the steps here to isolate your issue:
Power cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals-> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds -> you may use a safety pin if you see a pinhole.
Reset BIOS - While the unit is restarting, tap the F2 key repeatedly. Once in BIOS, go to Exit tab -> select Get default values -> Save the changes and Exit.
Run Troubleshooter - Start -> type Troubleshoot (or simply search for Troubleshoot for Win8/8.1) -> Under Hardware and Sound, select Configure a device -> follow the on-screen instructions.
Run Vaio update and Windows update
The model name SVE14AA12U is possibly just the chassis number or this is not a U.S. model.
For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.
Best regards,
Vincent

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.
