When problems occur go back to basics. You stated D: is unreadable but C: partition is readable (if I understood right).
As sharp said use only one stick of ram. Remove any additional PCI cards installed other than Video. Do not plug in anything but the hard drive set to master.
Check to see if system will detect.
If at this point it properly detects your drive, check for a boot to windows. If it boots then remove the hard drive and try just the CD-ROM for detection purposes. If this detects try them together again, if they fail to detect you most likely have a power supply issue. And yes, PSU issues can crop up very suddenly.
If this fails take the Hard Drive to a friend and have them test it along with the CD-RW/ROM drives. If they work there and your issue still persists when you have eliminated all other possible points of failure you probably have a bad motherboard.
Sorry i forgot to tell that the harddisk that the D: cannot unreadable is i check it on other system as a slave.
Okay i will try your suggestion.
Thanks for your comment

CD and DVD roms not working

I have just installed a 845PE Max2 motherboard and 2.4GHz Intel processor. I have kept my CD writer and DVD from my old machine.
The PC boots up fine but does not recognise the ROMs at all.
Anyone any ideas what I could have done wrong?

May be because
1) The cable you use is a hard-drive 80- conductor cable, do not use this cable for Cd-drives, use an ATA-33 Spec cable, conductor-40 for Cd-rom drives and other drives not capabale of ata-66 or higher.
2) The cable may not be polarised and you have put the cable round the wrong way
3) Both of the drives could be slaves/masters/or on cable select. Choose ONE to be the master and ONE to be the slave device.
4) You have not given the drives a power-source (by plugging them into the psu! ) )

Mac OS X 10.6.8 is running slow and DVD Rom not working

Have trouble with OS X 10.6.8 so i was told to reinstall my os from the original DVD but my dvd rom is not responding. I put cd or dvd in and it just spits it right back out. HELP IS NEEDED

Try and clean the lens. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk or wrap a business cards with a fine micro fiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) and carefully insert it into the slot.
If no success, replace the DVD drive or connect an external one via USB.
Ciao.

IDVD slide shows and DVD ROM contents?

No problem making slide shows, but iDVD will not copy ALL of the hi-res pics, seems to have a mind of its own and drops short. ie. 3 slide shows of 100 pics each it will copy 87, 55, 85 hi-res pics only. 5 slide shows of 100 each it will copy 80, 52, 85, 88, 90 hi-res pics only. Has anybody got any ideas please.

George,
iDVD isn't always happy about working with lots of multi-megapixel images and can't use all the quality. See iDVD 6.0 Help-Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for information on recommended sizes. Things will go a lot faster with the smaller images mentioned in that help file.
You can always manually add content to the DVD-ROM area. See iDVD 6.0 Help - Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/74.html
My recommendation: use 720x540 images for the slideshow and manually add the high res images to the DVD-ROM area.

ITunes 7 erasing CD and DVD drivers in Windows XP Pro

I love iTunes 7 however after installing it and rebooting, I can no longer play CDs or DVDs. I have had to restore windows in order to see these hardware drivers again. Is there a fix for such a problem?

Leopard comes with built-in CD and DVD sharing software. Is this what you mean or did you install some 3rd party software?
In Leopard, simply turn on the DVD or CD sharing in System Preferences->Sharing.
For Windows you might have to also turn on File Sharing, and under Options add SMB sharing.

I cannot see why DVD @CCESS and DVD-ROM content are not working properly

Hi,
I am very new to DSP, and I know I am missing a piece of the jigsaw, but I do not know what it is. I used a tutorial from creative cow to try and make the @CCEESS function work, but no dice… for now at least. When I did a build/format (to the HDD) everything went fine. I mounted the image, and I could see the DVD @CCESS folder and the DVD–ROM content on the DVD image. When I went to play the image, the button did not work. The content I am trying to use with @CCESS is a PDF file.
The tutorial I followed was this: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/alexzander_alex/dvdaccess.php
By the way, I am using is 4.2.2
Help or just counsel is appreciated.

As Eric said - DVD@ccess is really not that useful. It was a way to get documents like PDFs to automatically launch in the application (like Acrobat) when watching a DVD on a computer. Since they can't launch on a set top player the technology was already limited. Then the whole issue of getting it to work on a PC arose - it simply wasn't reliable. I managed to produce one disc that was replicated with @ccess links, but I knew the parameters for it's use in advance and managed to get it to work. It doesn't work on modern machines.
For a while there was a Sonic app which was much better at getting this sort of thing to work, but you had to work on a OC to set it up. Sonic pulled the app shortly after I bought it (sigh) and never replaced it. The fact is, automating document launches and web links is actually pretty tricky on a DVD, the results were variable and it never really enhanced your discs like you wanted to think it would!
If all you want to do is include a PDF file on the disc, and alert viewers to it being there, you only need to use the ROM content functions not @ccess, and you can use a menu screen to give instructions to people to let them know how to find it.

ITunes disables cd burner and player! Help!

As part of my job, I create a lot of audio cds. All was going fine until the middle of last year when an iTunes update, I believe it was something in the 7's stopped my computer from recognizing the factory-installed cd burner. All subsequent updates including the current 8.1 cause the message "disk burner or software not found" each time I try to burn in iTunes (I can't burn from Finder either). Disc playing wasn't too much of a problem save for the occasional stuck cd which had to be force-ejected when the burner suddenly "disappeared". With this new update I can't read or write at all - I've tried all the gimmicks to make things work like zapping the p ram, holding down mouse during start to force eject, using disk utility to fix permissions, etc. We all KNOW this is an ITUNES SOFTWARE GLITCH. My computer was FINE until that first faulty iTunes update. Can somebody PLEASE help as my work depends on it and I can't afford a new computer? Thanks!

CD and DVD rom not functioning

My Thinkpad z60m 2530-38U, I upgraded it to Vista Home Premium and to a bigger hard disk; everything worked fine, until I noticed that I am unable to read or write CD's or DVD's. I have obtained help from this forum before, and I'd appreciate if anybody can share with me a possible solution for this problem. Thanks
Solved!

Try reseating the drive first. Then go to this Microsoft site and run the "FixIt" utility:

KDE doesn't recognize CDs and DVDs after update.[Solved]

Since the upgrade of KDE to 4.5.3 (but I'm not sure for before that) I can't get any Cds or DVDs to work.
I had few ideas to what could cause this, but they all proved wrong:
1)I forgot to load the modules when compiling the ck-kernel with streamline option. this isn't the case as it also doesn't work on kernel26-lts.
2)K3B is responsible for this. After the upgrade of KDe the next thing that could brake it was K3B, but actually K3B is the only KDE thing that still recognizes the DVDs and CDs. Did K3B change the premissions?
If that's the case how do i fix it. i followed the Wiki guide, and it still doesn't work. K3Bsettings don't give me any other option other than the one that is default.
3)I've installed kde-cdemu-manager from AUR, but I also removed it so that shouldn't be the problem, right?
And that's all the things I installed up to the point at which I noticed that KDE doesn't want to mount and doesn't even recognises CDs and DVDs.
But I could also post my pacman.log if you wish.
Thanks for help in advance.

Silly me I should check the ArchWiki first: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HA … zed_by_HAL
Basically I only had to remove my cd and dvd rom from fstab and everything works.
(I also just in case removed the usb from it too, even though it worked, and it still does.)
PS.: Actually the Wiki is wrong. If you remove the /etc/hal/fdi/information/media-check-disable-storage_model_your-CD/DVD-model.fdi, HAL will just create new one after reboot. So changing it from false to true solves the problem.

No hard drive or dvd-rom

Hi Guys,
I have just had a system built for me , which contains the following
MSI Neo 965 Mobo
Intel core duo e6400 conroe 2.13ghx
320gb SATA hard drive
1gb DDR2 800mhz Ram
I have installed my own radeonx1950pro 512mb card and my dvd rom(ide).
When i first turn my pc on at the diagnostic screen where it shows what is connected (ide primary/master ) it has none , i then get two options f1 to continue and del to enter setup. if i press f1 it goes to a screen where it shows my hard drive and dvd-rom , and ask me to hit a ket to continue , when i do i successfully boot into windows , when i goto bios and into boot sequence none of my devices are there , any ideas? the only way to load to windows is if i keep hitting f1. Sorry if this sound a newbie question , but my last pc was all ide and i know nothing about SATA. also i added a memory card reader in to the floppy drive space , when i look at my drives my only hard drive has the letter H , and one of my memory card slots has the drive letter C ?????
Regards
Lennon

sounds like you have a windows that was installed for previous system. You just plugged it in and hope everything work just fine. Right?
On this P965 Neo board, the PATA controller is off to JMicron external controller. So for sure, you need to install the proper driver for this controller. Check on the sticky links on top of this forum table. Get the latest driver and installation instruction there.
Also, make sure your SATA HDD is pluged to the correct port. Which port you're using?
In the BIOS, what did you set for the SATA and PATA? Everything has to be setup properly, refer to your motherboard manual on those settings.

Creating DVD-ROM content?

Premier Pro CS3, Windows XP, 2GB RAM, plenty fast hard drives
I'd like to create a DVD with both video and DVD-ROM content. Is that possible?
If not, then suggestions for the following ... part of the DVD is video content in the form of slide shows set to music.
The other part of the DVD needs to be self-running slideshows that have no soundtrack. I'd like to use Photoshop Web Photo Galleries to create these slide shows. If I can't have mixed DVD and DVD-ROM content, then how to output these slide shows so they work on the DVD?
I've never tried PDF Presentations but seems like if I want to use Web Photo Galleries my only option is Flash. True?

Steve, if you mean by DVD-ROM just being able to access other files included on a DVD, it's super simple to do.
Burn out your project files ( your vobs for your video portion ) to a folder on your computer.
Then open Nero, or whatever you use to burn your DVDs out. Copy your e VIDEO_TS folder like you usually do to burn out a disc, and then just drag and drop over the other files needed for your slide shows to Nero or whatever you use, and then burn the disc out. The finished disc will play your video content upon putting it into your DVD player, and you'll be able to play the other content on your computer ( from that DVD disc )
As for Jim's comments, he's much much more advanced than I, and I'd love to hear more about these "assets" for Encore, and what the proceedure is.

Linking to web & DVD Rom through separate menus

I am working on a project and want to link to both website and DVD rom content through using separate menus and timeout functions. I have checked off both DVD@access and set my DVD Rom content but cannot access. Do I need a script and if so what are the commands?
Thanks
Jeff

The way it works is that as soon as you open the sub menu it should try to launch the @ccess link, rather than waiting to time out. You could always add a third menu in there, time-out the submenu and go to the third (which will, of course, look identical) so that the link then launches right away. Time that third menu out after 1 second and return back to the submenu.
You really need to get the location of the ROM content correct in the property inspector. It isn't clear where to point things, certainly. What have you got set up?
The DVD@ccess link must be in the right format, and the file you point at must have the three letter extension. I'm pretty sure I set up a smaple project you can download for all this - have a look here:
http://homepage.mac.com/halgernon/FileSharing21.html
There's a whole bunch of stuff in a folder called 'ACCESS_EXAMPLE', and hopefully some of it will do the job for you There is a 'read me' which should explain how to format the link URL and ROM folder locations, etc.

H520s Windows 8 DVD-ROM disabled and error 19 - registry corrupt Help please!

Hi all and hoping for help with H520s, 64bit OS Windows 8. Error message showing problem with DVD-RAM Mat**bleep**a SW820; this is disabled in the device manager, and I can't use the DVD drive as a result. (yellow triangle)
Have tried windows fix utility on pc ; drivers are up to date. Have disabled, enabled etc. But it's still error 19
This was working perfectly until a couple of days ago when Microsoft ran a mega load of updates, including critical windows 8 updates. Am wondering if there's some conflict?
Have searched the Lenovo solution centre for up to date drivers for the dvd-RW but there aren't any. Don't really want to uninstall the DVD-ROM drive and attempt reinstall unless can definitely reinstall and can't find anything that reassures me I wil be able to do so.
Wondering if Is this similar to another issue on Toshiba pcs where it seems, according to various searches, it was a corrupted registry entry due to conflicts with pre installed pc rescue type utilities?
I'm no IT expert and the idea of registry fiddling is not reassuring.

CD-ROM and DVD drives recognised but not working after iTunes uninstall

I recently uninstalled iTunes. The CD-ROM and DVD drives are present on "My Computer" but will not recognise when a CD or DVD is inserted into the drive.
According the the Device Manager both are working propoerly. I already tried Update Driver, Roll Back Driver and Uninstall Driver but continue to have the problem.
Any ideas please?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm running into the same problem. My DVD drive can read CD's but no DVDs at all. I tried all the suggestions like deleting the System Registers and loading new drivers/firmware, etc, and nothing. This all started after installing iTunes!
