No CD-rom drive

Just put together my new computer last week.
Everything (almost) worked. I installed Win-XP (from cd). Still working.
Next day the cd-drive was not to be found. I tried to change jumpers and IDE's but nothing help. I also tried it in another computer. No cd-drive.
So I went to the computerstore to complain. 4 days later they call me: Nothing wrong. I get the drive and try it in another computer. I works.
The I put it back in my new computer. It finds nothing.
I've got the 865PE Neo2 FIS2R motherboard. I tried to look and make some manuel settings in the bios but still nothing. But it is also imposible to find anything in the bios. The MB got IDE1 (m/s) IDE2 (m/s) IDE3 (m/s) and ATA1/ATA2 and ATA3/ATA4.
That gives 5 controllers but in the bios only 4 can be ajusted. To make it totally confusing i've got a sata drive on ATA1. In bios it's on the IDE1/master ???!!!
So what is the IDE1 controller called in the bios? And how do i make the bios find the cd-drive?

Problem solwed on support.microsoft.com.
A few lines in the reg.database had to be removed (???)
Now windows finds the cd-drive.

Satellite A100-049 - CD ROM drive no longer found

My satellite A100-049 no longer sees my CD rom drive, It won't auto play any discs, and when I double click a shortcut to a program that uses a disc it says 'no cd-rom drive found'.
I've tried updating the driver but I already have the most up to date one. It was fine yesterday, before I installed Norton 360- I don't know if that has anything to do with it. My operating system is vista home premium.
I really need help quickly as I'm going to university in under 3 weeks and the cd rom drive is vital to my course.

Hi Michael
Its very strange that your CD/DVD drive does not work longer after the Norton 360 installation. For me it looks like the Norton 360 has modified some registry keys and therefore the drive malfunctions.
I would recommend removing the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
Then restart the notebook. After new reboot the windows OS should recognize the new hardware (CD/DVD drive) and should install it again.
Then start the registry and remove the upper and lower filter values from this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
then reboot and test again!
Good luck and cheers dude ;)

K7T Turbo LE - Windows XP Pro SP-1 is not detecting my CD ROM drive I used to install XP Pro !!!!!!!

This is an XP driver issue that I'm not sure how to resolve.
This is a brand new K7T Turbo (MS-6330) Limited Edition motherboard (red-colored board, not green), Ver. 3 (no RAID controller on-board)
PSU is 400w (I tried another PSU, same issue)
Athlon 850MHz socket-A
CD-ROM drive - Yamaha CDR2100E 16x10x40 UDMA-1
The BIOS is 3.6, updated prior to Windows XP's installation
The VIA 4-in-1 drivers were updated with the latest available on MSI's website for the 6330
2 hard drives installed on the primary controller - one set to master, one set to slave
CD-ROM drive is the only device on the secondary controller, set to master with no slave, and is plugged-into the end IDE cable connector
The board detects the cd drive, and I even installed Windows XP Pro WITH this cd-rom drive, installed as currently configured, which is what pisses me off. I've installed XP four times today, try different things between installs, and nothing. The drive works FINE outside of XP, but as soon as XP starts, the drive disappears and XP doesn't even detect it. Also, while booting up, the start screen will lock up (activity bar freezes and hard drive activity stops) for about ten seconds (but everything's hooked-up right... I'm not a PC rookie!).
HELP! Please oh please help!!!! I'm getting aggravated!
Thanks!

Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

Greetings, all.
Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:
# mount -F nfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
nfs mount: x.x.x.x: : RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retrying: /mnt

I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
There are two ways to do this:
Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

Replacing CD rom drive in Hp pavilions a230n

I just rescued a Paviliona230n from a sad end. It was gutted of the good body parts, but I had an old Millenium that I could upgrade to XP or higher. I do need to put the two Cd-rom drives in and cannot figure out how to do it without removing the AMD processor and fan - something I am loath to do without instructions.
Are they clipped down and how do I unplug it safely so I can insert the CD rom drives.
I assume I would make the readable drive as the master (top) cable connection and the re-writeable one as the slave. OR???
I think I already overdid the memory bit as the machine seems to have a one GB memory and I put two of those in. Seems to be working.
Next I need to get drivers esp. for the ethernet connection.
Most important is the method to remove the AMD memory unit. I sure don't want to mess that up.
Just for interest: The hardrive with the Millenium OP system was flaky. I think it was the program, but when I tried to install XP as an "upgrade" (to save programs and files) it failed twice. Only when I did a full install did it work.
Next I will have to check the integrity of the drive itself and I doubt that my dbam (boot and nuke) wipe disk will work on it. It also does a fine job on checking the hard drive before you install anything. It was not recognized by Millenium.
TIA
If you have any plant questions I could repay your answer with please visit http://sequimplants.com/
I also have a google plus blog on plants. Plants were the beginning of this need to find a computer with a 3.5 inch floppy. Years ago I had a great program from Gardenware (over 250.00) to make labels. I made a 600 item library of my plants with descriptions.
Win 3.1 now. I can't even install it again as it is propriatory and it needs a unlock key that the company no longer has for old versions. Nothing else can read or open the floppy library backup ... so I downloaded a freefile viewer and hope it will work on it. Hopefully on the XP version. If not I will have to install a floppy drive on one of my Win 7 computers.
I found this to be beyond understanding. If you sell a car you are obligated to keep parts for it. I cannot see that this program developer cannot have kept the unlock codes for All older versions. Certainly does not make me want to buy their NEW version for 199.00.
If that freefile viewer doesn't pan out all I can do is get a mobile 3.5 floppy with a USB port and plug it into another Nurserymans computer to see if his new version can read it.

PowerMac G5 doesn't work anymore simply due to a DVD-ROM drive removal!

Hello, here's what's happened (I'll write using the "present" because I'm not English).
This happened about two days ago:
I need to read an Ultra ATA hard disk, so I power off the Mac.
I remove the SuperDrive DVD-ROM and I connect the hard disk in its place (I already made this with other ATA hard disks in past and it always was OK).
I close the Mac.
I try to start: nothing! The light on the power-on button of the Screen (Apple Cinema Display 20" plastic) and the light on the power-on button of the Mac case starts flashing 3 times (then stop, than other three times, etc...).
So I power off. I change the jumper configuration of the hard disk, like the Super Drive. I try again: NOTHING. Always three-times flashing the lights.
So I power off. I re-install the DVD drive, close the Mac again and restart it.
SURPRISE: the same symptom! The computer doesn't start and always makes the three-times flashing lights...
So I tried totally removing the DVD drive, and restarting it without it: nothing: same symptom.
Unfortunately I made these attempts forgetting to disconnect the power cable of the Mac!
Then I start trying with other RAM configurations, hoping that just a RAM module got burned. I have 6 ram modules (512 MB each).
I try lots of combinations... nothing, always same symptom.
Finally, I disconnect the power cord again, I re-install all the RAM modules, an I try to reset the CMOS: I remove the Motherboard battery for some seconds.
Than I re-install the battery, close the Mac, connect the power cord, restart it: it works!!!
I go in System Info, and I see that it doesn't recognize two of the 6 RAM modules: just 4. The slots of the other 2 not recognized DIMM modules seems empty, but there is the ram!
So I power off the Mac Again. I disconnect the power cord.
I change the RAM modules positions. I try again: nothing! Again the three-times flashing lights symptom, and always black screen again.
So I try again by removing the CMOS battery... nothing... always flashing...
After lots of attempts (also changing again the RAM positions, trying to remember how it was when it worked...)... nothing.
I power off the Mac.
After about an hour, I simply try to power on it... IT WORKED!!!
I used it too... went on Internet, etc... Finished working, I powered it off and went to bed.
The day after, I tried to power it on... nothing! Always three times flashing lights...
From that moment, it was totally impossible to let it work...
I tried to change the RAM positions again... I tried also pressing every time the reset button on the Mother Board... nothing...
The only different symptom that I obtained, a couple of times, was that the two lights (on the Screen button and on the Mac tower button) didn't flash, but was always on.... but it didn't run anyway: totally black screen.
How is this possible? Durin 18 years of computer hardware experience, NEVER happened that a computer got broken just removing and re-installing a DVD-ROM drive!
And I'd never imagined that removing a DVD-ROM could be a dangerous operation... It seems to me just like a car that got broken if I replace the cigarette lighter...
What do you think? how is this possible?
If the CPU or the Motherboard or the RAM too got broken... simply it NEVER should run... on the contrary two times it worked very well!... with a broken Motherboard or CPU??? ...mmmm... so strange....
If the RAM got broken... how is this possible? 6 ram modules burned together??? It seems so absurd... (in past there were 8 RAM modules... one or two got broken... so I removed them and it worked again... but not 6 !!!!).
Any opinion?
Any practical advice?
Prevision of costs?
Thank you!!!

Hi Wolfman I have an update of the situation.
We tried moving the RAM modules again... and at one point it worked! With just 2 RAM modules.
But at the green screen (with the gray apple darker) it blocked.
So we removed the two RAM modules and installed other two modules: it worked again! These two last modules are 512 MB each.
So we restarted the system pressing "c" with the OSX DVD in the drive, and it worked! I used System diagnostic OSX utility and it found the 2 ram modules, but of 256 MB each instead of 512 !!! How is this possible? (if they were broken OK, but detect just half of its size seems so strange...).
Than we restarted it again connecting an OSX bootable external Fire Wire LaCie hard disk (FW400 port), and it worked!
We used DISK UTILITY to test the internal boot hard disk and it gave me an error (verify disk).
The Disk utility was unable to repair the disk.
Another damage!
I remember that in the past attempts it booted once (not three times flashing) and stopped at the grey screen... (I think: maybe due to the boot hard disk error!).
Unfortunately this external bootable firewire disk has got some problem and it sometimes blocks itself emitting a "clic".
So I powered the mac off and connected another newer firewire lacie bootable hard disk. I connected it in the FW800 port. I rebooted and... surprise: three times flashing light again!!!
No way to let it pass this wall, no initial "sound" again... nothing!
So I removed the FW800 drive, and changed the RAM again (inverted them, always two internal slots n. 1 and 2): it worked!
I booted from the FW400 hard disk, and it worked. I was able to backup some data from the internal hard disk (in order to be able to try to solve the error initializing it), and I tried again to boot with the FW800 hard disk (I want a stable system while initializing a drive!).
As I connected the FW800 hard disk again, I tried to reboot... nothing! Again the three-times flashing light error! No sound... black screen again...
(So, simply removing a DVD ROM I got RAM broken, maybe the Logic board, the hard disk too... maybe the FireWire 800 port too.... mmmm.... this mac is possessed! And it is connected through a professional power stabilizer too!).
So after several attempts with RAM, cmos reset, firmware reset (power it up holding the power on button for some seconds), etc... I got it working again...
So this time I rebooted it pressing "c" and I initialized the internal hard disk using the OSX DVD as boot drive...
Then I rebooted from the FW400 hard disk and I used CarbonCopyCloner to restore an internal hard disk clone OSX complete installation from a .dmg image file in the FW800 lacie hard disk... but this time I connected it not using the FW800 port but through the USB 2.0 port... and it was able to copy the data.
The computer was working... able to boot... no three times flashing error... no FW800 connections... always rebooting OK... the internal hard disk initialized, working, with NO errors (disk utility tested), made bootable...
I tried to reboot again (with no "c" or "alt" pressing, hoping the internal boot hard disk working again): nothing!
THREE TIMES FLASHING LIGHT AGAIN!!! No way to solve the problem now... always flashing...
What is happening here??? I don't understand! I use computers (instable DOS/Windows computers mainly!!!) form about 18 years... never seen a so strange behaviour!!!
We'll try to gather money to replace the RAM, before thinking to a Logic Board replacement...
Your opinion?
Thanks!

Cannot install DVD/CD ROM drive after upgrading from Windows 7

I had a working DVD/CD-ROM drive before upgrading. Now it shows as Unknown Device in Device Manager, I tried uninstalling it and then scanned for hardware changes but it still does not work. I also tried manually selecting a CD-ROM drive for it but it
ends up with an error code 31. I also checked for {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} registry but it did not have lowerfilters key. How do I install the driver for it?

Hi,
The error code 31 means that Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.
Considering that this issue mostly can be caused by compatible issue.
Please check if you can fine the latest driver from Manufacturer’s website. If so, try to install it under Windows 10 compatibility mode: Right click the installer of the driver, choose Properties, choose Windows 7 under Compatibility
mode to install.
If the CD device still fails to work, I recommend to check the setupapi.dev.log under %windir%\inf, locate the device and find the line below:
dvi: Rank - 0x00000000
Then, corresponds the score in this link:
Identifier Score
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff546297(v=vs.85).aspx
The value 0x00003000 is the best identifier score and the value 0x00003FFF is the worst identifier score.
The score near 0x00003FFF means that the driver and device may not compatible with current system, we may need to wait for the menufacturer’s driver update.
Thanks for your understanding.

My acer 7535-5020 no longer recognizes my cd/dvd rom drive-I am ready to scream! I cannot afford the tech prices as I am disabled but I cannot find anything to cure this sick puppy. Help please!!!

check inside BIOS whether your ODD can be detected, if cant be detected must be connection cable or HW issue
if still able to detect in BIOS, try to run basic troubleshoot regarding ODD

Which CD ROM drive is compatible with Satellite 1690CDT?

Hello,
I own an old Tosiba Satellite 169CDT notebook which still works well for me. Unfortunately the buid in CD ROM drive is broken. Does anybody know, where I can get a repacement drive for less money?
Can anybody tell me the model no or model description of the build in CD drive, is it a Teac drive?
Also any hints how to dismount the drive are welcome.
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Sergeant

Hi,
because your machine is pretty old, maybe looking by ebay or something similar could help you.
So I cannot help you with dismounting your drive, because I dont know, but you can try to loose some screws on the bottom of the machine which are exactly there, where the drive has its back.
Just try to imagine where the drive can be fixed with that screw, it has to be around the middle part of the bottom of your machine.

Installed iTunes and my Laptop no longer recognises CD-ROM drive

I was given an iPod for Xmas, so I downloaded iTunes and installed it on my Laptop. When I opened iTunes for the first time, I got a message saying that I needed to reinstall iTunes if I wanted to burn CD's; that's fine I thought, as I don't burn many CD's and can use another application to do so. Problem is, when I go into "My Computer" my CD-ROM drive is no longer there and I can't use it play CD's or games. I had to do a system restore in order to get my CD-ROM drive back. I've tried installing iTunes 3 times now and exactly the same thing happens each time.
Obviously, I need my CD-ROM drive and I can't use my iPod without having iTunes installed on my Laptop. Does anyone know what could be causing my problem? Or any way around it? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
We have this problem also!!! The removal of Itunes and Quicktime certainly resolves the problem regarding installation but what's the point if you then can't use your CD drive. We also have a 30gb Ipod and are regretting our purchase. My daughter bought a Zune by Microsoft which is fantastic, used on a different computer... starting to think that we should have done the same.
CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM... APPEARS TO BE MORE AND MORE COMMON WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

CD-ROM won't eject CD / system doesn't recognize CD-ROM drive

Hi.
My CD-ROM recently ate a CD and now refuses to eject it. The CD does not show up on the desktop (is "unmounted"?) and resetting the PRAM and holding down the mouse and eject buttons on start-up have not been the solution to this problem.
I think the main issue is the system no longer reconizes the CD-ROM drive... so I'm unsure how to 1) eject the cd and 2) reinstall the CD-ROM But obviously I can't install without a CD-ROM drive...
Is there a driver I can download to get the drive working again? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
If the drive now longer shows up in ASAP, it's dead, or the power supply to it is dead.
You will need to manually eject the CD, by inserting a straightened paperclip through the small access hole located under the drive tray; it may be on the left, center or right side. Do this with the computer off.
New drives can be had for under $40 (DVD Burners) online, CD Burners are under $25.
For more info, You can read owner reviews @ xlr8yourmac's Drive Compatibility, just enter your system & choose a drive type.

CD ROM Drive lost when installing iPod Nano

After installing my iPod Nano and iTunes my PC will no longer recognise it has a CD ROM drive.
Like a dummy I tried it on 2 PC's and now they are both stuffed!
Apple tech support don't have a clue.
I have uninstalled everything, even the CD ROM Drives and rebooted, hoping the plug and play would kick in but no luck - HELP

I now have a solution for this. I printed out the solution before it disappeared off the PB website so im quoting direct from my printout. If you are not familiar with using regedit then be careful or seek assistance.
Packard Bell PC’s
Yellow exclamation mark in device manager against CD/DVD drives and drives not useable/visible on PC. Can happen after attempt Ipod Nano install.
To fix involves running and modifying system registry editor
1 Click START then RUN type REGEDIT and click ok
2 Locate and then delete the following registry values:
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SYSTEM\currentcontrolsset\control\class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-B FC1-08002BE10318}-
This string will be visible in the right hand pane of registry editor and will have a yellow folder beside it.
When you open the folder that has the above string immediately to the right of it then in the right hand pane of registry editor a list of values will appear.
Reading from top to bottom they will probably be a list of items each having an icon with the letters ab in red.
The list is
Default
Class
Enumproppages32
Icon
Installer2
Lowerfilters
Noinstallclass
Silentinstall
Troubleshooter=0
upperfilters
Now click on lowerfilters to highlight it then delete it,do the same for upper filters. When you’ve done this,drop down the file menu (top left hand corner) and click exit then power off the pc and restart)
If you’ve done this correctly all should be well,the nano should work and the DVD drives will be present.

CD ROM Drive has disappeared!!

I attempted to go through the steps posted here on how to get songs off your iPod back onto the music library on your PC (my laptop had crashed and I had to reload the operating software but didn't have a complete back-up of all my songs), and was unsuccessful. Now, in addition to that problem, my laptop is no longer reading the D: drive (CD ROM drive). It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer and when I put a CD in the drive it doesn't automatically start up as it did in the past. It's as if the D: drive no longer exists.
Anyone else encounter this problem and is there any fix other than reloading the operating software (which I just did and don't want to do again).
Thanks.

Just a quick link, don't know if it's the right thing:

CD Rom drive not reading data or audio

Hello -
I'm using a Fujitsu N series LifeBook laptop. I'd started having problems with my cd rom drive about 6 or so months ago. It reads dvd discs just fine, but is very "selective" about the audio cds i load. I got a palm pda for christmas and when i tried to load the sync software from the cdrom - the drive wouldn't read it at all. I tested other audio cds and have since found that the drive will no longer read any audio discs. Oddly, it reads dvd movies just fine - launching Windows Media Player as a default. I got in contact with Fujitsu tech support, and after uninstalling/reinstalling the cdrom, found the problem was still there. I was told to contact iTunes support because iTunes might be the culprit - but could only find these forums for help.
Cdrom drive is a TEAC DW-224E-B model. Please help - I'm a nursing student and plan on using the palm pda to store PDR's and Diagnosing guides.
Thank you,
Erick

CD ROM Drive Issue with a Satellite A215-S7416

Hello,
I wonder if someone can please help me. I don't know why this issue is happening with my laptop, but maybe someone else here has had the same thing.
I don't really use my CD ROM drive all that much, but for some strange reason all of a sudden now it seems like it:
A) DOES read and recognize the material on store-bought pre-recorded CD's (just as it should),
BUT...
B) Does NOT read or recognize material on CD's which have been burned by a friend of mine. By the way, the player in my car DOES read the CD material which was burned on my friends system, so I know that something is on those CD's.
ALSO...
My CD ROM drive no longer seems to give me the option to burn a playlist to a disc. Instead, when I insert a blank CD disc, all I hear is the cycling noise making a continual irritating sound, seemingly forever. It makes this exact same noise when I insert the CD disc that my friend burned for me. But (as already stated) when I insert a store-bought pre-recorded disc, it reads and recoginizes it within 30 seconds, and displays the contents of the CD.
I don't know if this matters, but I just updated to the newest iTunes version (which is the software I use), however I have noticed that WMP is doing the same thing, as well. Additionally, when I ran the iTunes Diagnostics, all that happened was that it just continued doing that ridiculous cyclic thing (with my friend's burned CD). However, when I inserted a store-bought pre-recorded CD, the iTunes Diagnostic worked like a charm.
Does anyone know what's going on, and/or how I can fix this?
Thank you.
PS --- BTW, my CD/DVD ROM Drive is:
D: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H, Rev TO02

Try taking a look at this article.
What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 7?
It's also possible that the drive is beginning to fail.
