My CD rom is no longer visible in windows explorer in my computer.

Please could someone help with the following query.
My CD rom is no longer visible in windows explorer in my computer. I have tried going to new hardware in control panel and couldn't find it.
I have run the toshiba diags and it finds it and says its fine.
Any advice on resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.
Thanks B

Hi
You need to remove the upper and lower filters from registry key.
First of all remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
Then go to registry and remove upper and lower filter from this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
After that reboot the notebook.

  • IPod nano: Connected to the iTunes on Mac OK but not visible in iTunes on Windows. But is visible in Windows explorer as a disc.

    Hi,
    I have an issue with my iPod nano. I first connected it to the iTunes on Mac and synced perfectly, but now I am trying to connect it to the iTunes in Windows but iTunes can't see it. Even althought the iPod is visible in Windows explorer so it is connected to the PC. Don't know what to do next.

    Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • DLL file in Windows\system32 folder cannot be found by regsvr32 even though the file is visible in Windows Explorer

    I am trying to register a DLL on a Windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit computer (all SPs installed).
    The file resides in c:\windows\system32.
    The DLL file is clearly visible in Windows Explorer. The file is not hidden. It is not marked Read-Only. All users can access it.
    When I run regsvr32 it responds that the file cannot be found. It says to check the path.
    The same thing happens when I run from the command prompt if c:\windows\system32.
    When I try to open using Dependency Walker, it also cannot find the file.
    Does anybody know what's happening here? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You could run SFC command to see if you fix any corrupted system file.
    If this cannot help, try to replace this file with a known good copy.

  • HT1329 iPod classic disc use - only some music visible in Windows Explorer!?

    I followed above steps but then realized that it has only copied some of my music over. When I look at the music folder on the ipod in Windows Explorer, I only see some of the artists/albums/songs that actually on the iPod! I can see that a certain song is on my iPod and can play on my iPod without a problem, but it is not visible in Windows Explorer, hence it doesn't get copied over.
    I can find the songs in the hidden ipod_content file on my ipod, but if I copy a file over to iTunes it gets added as a new file (which works), but the 'old' non-functional file is still there. We are talking hundreds of songs so doing it this way would mean hours and hours of locating manually and adding to playlists plus deleting the 'old' file in iTunes.
    Is there a way to copy everything over from the ipod_content file and getting iTunes to match that with the missing songs like it did with the songs that were copied over the first time around?

    Hmm.
    Ideally you would have copied the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one, having first consolidated your library to make sure that all the media content was inside the iTunes folder. If it isn't too late then go back and do it again.
    Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If you have your preserved library file what might work is to manually recover the media files into a new iTunes library with the iLounge article near the end, get iTunes to organize the media. Then cut and paste the new media folder onto the one you had previously so that no duplicate files are created. With luck your original library can then find the recovered files.

  • Phone not visible in Windows Explorer - post 10.3 upgrade

    I installed 10.3 on my Q10 no problem, saw the Blend icon and decided to install (having used it on the work Passports) so a couple of things....
    1. Blend now downloaded - but wants to install on an F:drive - which would be the Q10.
    2. When connected via USB (or wifi) the Q10 is not visible in Windows Explorer (it was fine in 10.2)
    3. Can see the drivers begin to install, but then it rolls back and a 'Install failed, cannot find F:drive' appears.
    4. Is Blend intended for use on the Q10.
    Anyone got any ideas I can try?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Found it, you have to go into Settings > Networks and Connections > Connection Services > USB and slide the USB Mass Storage Mode to the on position. It will then show as an ext. hdd in Windows Explorer.

  • 9930 No Longer Recognized in Windows Explorer (7) - USB Mode missing from Options on Connection with PC

    Blackberry Bold 9930
    Verizon
    OS - 7.1.0 Bundle 2705
    Blackberry Desktop Software Version - 7.1.0.41
    PC - Windows 7
    I have a problem which recently surfaced when connecting my 9930 to my PC. In the past, when I have connected my PC, I have gotten three options (1) Charge Only (2) Media Synch (3) USB Drive. Several days ago, when I connected the 9930 to my PC the USB Drive option no longer shows up. I have always been able to see my Blackberry and the 32GB MicroSD card in contains in Windows Explorer; however, now, it does not show up. If I double click on Computer in Windows Explorer, I see two Removable Disks - E: and F:. When you double click on them, you get the message "Insert Removable Disk." I have ensure that Media Card Support in checked under Storage in Options. I have done a reset. I have pulled the battery. I have uninstalled the Blackberry Desktop Software and reinstalled it - all to no avail. I have also connected this device to two other Windows 7 PCs and it doesn’t show up on either PC. It encounters an error while trying to down load drivers on of which pertains to MTB drivers. I have also gone into Device Manager and uninstalled the drivers associated with the 9930 and reinstalled them. Nothing has worked. I have removed the microsd card and replaced it. I have upgraded the BB OS to the most current version. If anyone has any ideas to pursue, I would appreciate their insight.

    Hey Panthus,
    You have covered alot by testing with a new media card and with a different PC, I would suggest backing up and doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320  
     Please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
    How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry Technical Support Services for further review and support.

  • Photoshop CS2 thumbnails not visible in Windows Explorer

    I have Photoshop CS2 running on XP Pro, and all of the thumbnail images for my PSD files show up as black squares in Windows Explorer.  The files I created in PS6 still show their thumbnail images, but once I load them into CS2 and save them, they're gone.  Any ideas as to what's causing this?

    There was a DLL called psicon.dll provided with early versions of Photoshop that made .psd thumbnails visible in the 32 bit Windows Explorer.  I don't know whether later versions of .psd files might be incompatible.
    For modern systems, especially 64 bit systems, there is no Adobe-supplied icon shell extension - one has to go to commercial (but inexpensive) software from one of a couple of companies out there who provide the proper codec:
    Mystic Thumbs:    http://mysticcoder.net/mysticthumbs.html
    Ardfry PSD Codec:  http://www.ardfry.com/psd-codec/
    Of course, if you investigate these double check to be sure the software will work on your system.
    Before paying for anything you might also check to see if you have the Maximize Compatibility setting checked in Edit - Preferences - File Handling.
    Hope this helps.

  • Some photos not visible in Windows Explorer

    Dear All,
    I have a problem when using an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.1 together with Windows 8.
    The iPhone connect well, I can browse most of the photos from Windows Explorer, but some newer pictures are simply missing. So I see the majority of photos taken, but some are simply missing. Has anyone already encountered this? I have tried rebooting the phone and the PC, with no result.
    Thanks.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Satellite P100-347 - DVD Drive no longer visible in Windows XP MCE

    Hi. My DVD drives seems to have disapeared from within Windows MCE running on my P100-347. BIOS can see it, it opens and closes with no issues and the light comes on as if the disc is being read yet it's not being seen by Windows as a drive.
    I've installed the DVD-RAM drivers from the Toshiba website but this hasnt made one bit of difference. Any suggestions?

    Hi. Thanks for the reply.
    Thats the thing. There is no error message or device in device manager relating to the CD / DVD drive. It's not even there as D: drive.
    I've tried the knowledge base article and still the problem remains. Does anyone know the product code of the DVD drive that comes with the P100-347? Perhaps I can find a driver for it based on this.
    Edit:
    Have found the following in the Event Log :
    20 May 2007 PlugPlayMa nager The device 'HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N' (IDE\CdRomHL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GMA- 4082N_______________PT06____\3 04d363050393534353520332020202 020202020) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.

  • Ext hard drive no longer visible in Windows XP via Airport Extreme

    Hey everyone,
    I am running a Windows XP Pro machine in my network. I have a LaCie 500gb ext USB drive plugged into my Airport Extreme. It is formatted in Mac OS Extended. It has always shown up with my other drives on my PC under the "My Computer" window. Now it has disappeared out of nowhere. Nothing was installed/changed. I host files on that drive that I access from my Windows machine and I cannot for the life of me get it to show up again. I understrand that Windows doesn't read Mac OS Extended... If I plug the drive into my PC directly it does not show up. But for some reason it has always worked through the Airport until now... Was it just dumb luck until this point?
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    HDDs, formatted in Mac OS Extended, are shared out using the SMB/CIFS file sharing protocol to Windows or Linux-based network clients. As you know this format is not readable when connected directly to a Windows PC.
    SMB/CIFS is the common sharing format used by Windows to access any network drive so that shouldn't be the issue. Have you tried mounting/mapping the drive on the PC? Please check out the following Apple Support article for details.

  • Mac HD Volume no longer visible in Windows

    Haven't done anything significant to change anything on either partition, just randomly today booted into Windows 7 and it can't see my Macintosh HD partition.
    This wouldn't be a problem if I could hand the Windows partition files from the OSX side, but that's never been possible as far as I can tell.
    Slightly unrelated (maybe), but also kind of weird are two things:
    my start-up/sign-in screen in OSX has completely changed...it used to be the icons against a dark grey mesh background, and when I chose my account the icon and field would slide to the center and once I input the password, it would start up.  Now they're much larger against a blank grey background and the password input field is highlighted in blue and has a weird icon.  Additionally, my computer now asks for the system password whenever I wake it from sleep.  It never did before and I haven't changed any settings at all.
    Anyone have any idea what could be going on, for either of these?  Any help would be appreciated.
    Running Lion on a late-2011 MBP.

    Figured out the login screen issue - FileVault had somehow turned itself on. 
    Boot Camp still doesn't show the Mac volume.

  • Files visible in Windows Explorer but not in Finder

    Hi,
    I'd burned a dvd around a year back with around 30 audio files on a PC. I now use a Mac. All the files in the dvd are visible on any Windows machine, but only 4 of the files are visible in the Mac Finder. Could somebody explain how can I access all the files on a Mac?
