What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive
Microsoft Fix-it
Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
System Restore
Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
System Recovery
If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
Contact Customer Support
If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

If the Disk Utility sees it, you might be able to repair it or recover the data on it with a product such as DiskWarrior or Data Rescue.
If the Disk Utility doesn't see it, contact professional support.

Pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem?

My pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem? I am running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy. There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country. This was intended to prevent piracy.

If your Macbook Pro (MBP) came preinstalled with OS X Lion (10.7), you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall it.
You will need an Internet connection.
Restart your Mac using Command+Option+R until you see a spinning globe. This will boot into Apple's server and load their Recovery HD.
From the OS X Utilities menu, select Reinstall OS X. You should see a Lion logo to the left of this option.
If your MBP came preinstalled with OS X Snow Leopard you will need the DVD and an external CD/DVD drive to use to install it.
You may also be able to put your MBP into Target Mode with another Mac running a version of OS X that is compatible with your MBP. From that other Mac download OS X from the App Store and point to your MBP (Target Mode) to install to. I've never tried this but it sounds like it might work.

Brand new Mac Pro.. CD DRIVE DOESN'T WORK!

I just set up my new Mac Pro yesterday, and the cd/dvd drive doesn't work. It worked once, when I was installing a printer, but it made a really bad noise, and now whenever I put any cd or dvd in, it doesn't even recognize it or react.
I don't know what to do.
I know I have a warranty so somebody from apple should be able to help me, but I can't even reach anybody on the customer support phone number.
Does anybody know a way to fix this?

Try depressing the SMC RESET button for 10 seconds, small round button under drive #4 in the rear (with unit unplugged).

My cd driver doesn't work to install new hp printer

I bought a new HP Printer ENVY 4500 I can't use it from my Mac 0S as the CD/DVD driver doesn't work
.How do I conect it?

Hi,
Regardless the CD issue, I affraid that the printer is incompatible with Leopard (OS X 10.5) but require OS X 10.6 or a later version.
You may find its System Requirement listed below:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-4500-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5304875/model/5304876/d...
I would suggest upgrading your operating system or contacting the retail and replace it with another model which is compatible with your operating system.

MBP late 2011 disc driver doesn't work

Before I updated the OS to 10.9.1, my disc driver worked well and I usedbootcamp to set up WIN 7 for several times. But afterwards, when I tried to reset the bootcamp win7, I did like I always did, delete the former os harddrive part, then I started to reset the win7, I found that the disc driver doesn't work.
When I insert a disc, it would be push out whatever disc I insert, os disc, cd, dvd. It just doesn't work.
I don't know if it is broken or just beacuse of the new 10.9.1
I need some help.
Thanks for you all who are willing to see this.

It sounds like the lens on your optical drive is dirty. Use a cleaning DVD or wrap a microfiber cloth around a credit card and carefully slide it in and out a few times.

Kernal freaks out and cd drive doesn't work.

I had trouble booting up my imac and it says something about the kernal not working during the boot up stage. I took out one of the sticks of ram and it will boot up fine. Does that mean that my ram is bad.
Also my cd drive doesn't work. I just put in a cd and it spits it out. I tried all sorts of cd's and it has the same results.
Please let me know what I can do.

If it works with different ram, then that means the ram that's in there when it won't boot is likely faulty. The kernal panics are likely due to the bad ram. Return and/or exchange it and double check to make sure you got the right type of ram. You want PC2-5300 (667MHz) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
Secondly the drive issue sound like a failure of it to work al together. If you're under warranty I'd call Apple to arrange a repair, or take it into an Apple Store or Authorised Service Provider.

CD Drive Doesn't Work, Please Help

Recently my Macbook was running really slowly so I restored my Macbook to factory settings. Now my CD Drive doesn't work. I can't burn CD's from iTunes or use cd's for anything. Please help!

HI Yash,
After re-installing the OS; did you check for software updates? If they're are any you may want to install them and see if it fixes your issue. I know some times things stop working after an OS install if the software updates are not installed.
Can you still boot to the install disk? (by using option boot)
If you can't option boot to the install disk, you might want to try a SMC reset. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
if you still can't you may want to try a NVRAM reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
If that doesn't help you could try the apple troubleshooting super drive article;
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2801
if you can option boot to the install disk; but can't see disks when your booted to the built in hard drive, you might want to try a safeboot. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455

Equium A100: DVD/CD drive has stopped working code 22

Toshiba Equium A100 on Vista operating.
DVD/CD drive has stopped working and is showing as disabled. Have tried to re-enable but error code 22 returned. Can anyone help?

Hi
The Microsoft page provides these details about error code 22
*This device is disabled. (Code 22)*
_Recommended resolution_
+Enable the device by using Device Manager.+
+In Device Manager, click Action, and then click Enable Device. This starts the Enable Device wizard. Follow the instructions.+
It looks like you have already tired this. Well, in your case I would recommend removing the CD/DVD drive from the device list in the device manager. Just simply mark the device an press delete.
Then restart the notebook and check what happens.
