LENOVO 3000 G230 DVD DRIVE Gone After BIOS Update

Hi,
After I updated my bios with latest one from the website http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_2191.html, my DVD drive is gone, not just from windows but i cannot find it in the BIOS.
Pls any one give me BIOS update, prior to this?  any help in making my DVD drive show up again. 
thank you,
ocavid
PS:  Prior to updating the bios i can still work with the DVD drive but after I applied the update and the system rebooted, my DVD drive is gone.

I have successed to find again my CD/DVD drive both in BIOS and Windows 7 by doing the following:
(1). Press F2 at "Lenovo" start up display to enter BIOS
(2). Go to "Main" (the place showing also Harddisk Drive) and enter F9 for Set Default.
(3). Go to "Boot" and enter  F9 for Set Default
(4). Exit with save.
Hope the information is usefull for all.

  • DVD Drive gone after itunes update

    I can no longer access my DVD drive. Windows Vista Home Premium. Sony DVD drive. iTunes 7.5 . If I uninstall iTunes my system can recognize my DVD drive, but when I install iTunes my dvd drive is gone from the system, can't be recognized by itunes or windows. I've tried previous version so iTunes 7 but none seem to work. Any advice?

    Thanks. I followed the instructions and removed both UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry entries, rebooted and my DVD drive could then be recognized by Vista. But..... when I started iTunes I received the error:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burnging CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    So... since I was on a previous version I installed the latest, 7.5... and iTunes could then see the DVD drive, but when I rebooted, Vista could no longer see the DVD drive. iTunes re-installed the registry entry : UpperFilters, REGMULTISZ, GEARAspiWDM (does not put in the LowerFilters) so as it stands now, I have a registry file on my desktop that I have to run, to put back the GEARAspiWDM entry whenever I want to use iTunes, then remove it and reboot to use it in Vista - does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it without a workaround? Thanks.

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • HP p6230a runs slow after bios update - Getting error BIODHD-8 on Diagnostic Tools

    After bios update my desktop runs so painfully slow it is unworkable.  Disk drive seems to be constantly hammered by processes that don't appear on task manager.  Running 64 bit windows 7 (sp1).  Running the diagnostic tools prior to boot up comes up with error code BIOHD-8 - A SMART test failed on the drive - please contact HP Support.  Ideally would like to get previous version of bios as machine was running well before update. 

    I will ask my HP Employee Expert colleagues about this internally. It will take a while for them to respond.
    the BIODHD-8 error code means your harddrive is failing and must be replaced.
    Back up everything that you possibly can before it fails and no longer boots up into Windows .
    is your notebook still within the standard warranty period of one year? A notebook hard disk is a warranty replaceable item.(no cost to you while within warranty)

  • I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-instal​led on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

    I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
    Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
    I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
    Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on. 
    I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
    I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

    It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

  • After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

    Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
    I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
    "It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
    How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

    Hi schuwe,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

  • Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

    Hi
    after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
    Its show the blue dead screen!
    What can i do?

    Hi
    Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
    Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
    Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
    But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
    Please check this!
    Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

    Hi.
    Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
    bios-20070709111839.zip
    After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
    I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
    What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
    Thanks in advance
    MAT

    > Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
    What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
    You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
    Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
    But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
    Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
    Good luck
    Greetings

    Hello jay04,

    I understand the number keys do not work on your keyboard. I will do my best to assist you. First, I require the following information:
