[solved] dvd drive no longer recognized

my dvd drive used to work. i was able to burn a cd just a couple weeks ago, not sure when exactly, but definitely no more than 3 weeks ago. today i pushed the eject button (just a keybinding mapped to `eject -T`) and i received an error saying
eject: unable to find or open device for: `sr0'
checked dmesg, there is no mention of an optical drive.
tried `modprobe sr_mod`, nothing new in dmesg, nothing at /dev/sr0.
i made sure the drive was connected and i was just able to boot off a cd, so it is connected and working.
anyone have an ideas?

that was exactly it. adding pcie_aspm=force fixed the issue. hopefully kernel 3.2.14 will resolve this.

Dvd drive no longer recognized

My dvd drive is no longer recognized in my HP Pavilion dv9000 notebook. Do I need a new driver? How do I get it?

Hi,
The driver is in the operating system so you shouldn't need any. Can you see the optical drive in the Device Manager??

MacBook DVD drive no longer recognizing blank DVDs

I thought I'd do some DVD archives of photos (using a Burn folder) and popped in a blank DVD (from a stack of blank DVDs that I've been using for a while).
Lo and behold this message popped up:
"The disc can’t be used because the disc drive is not supported (error code 0x80020025)"
I've done burning without problems on 10.5.x and this is the first time I've tried since upgrading to 10.6.
It seems to be a relatively common problem with no clear fix?

My CD/DVD Drive is not recognized any longer

I can't seem to get my computer to recognize my CD/DVD drive any longer. I'm using Windows 8.1. Recently, hp replaced the drive. However, now it's not being recognized. Can someone please help? Below is my product information:
HP ENVY 23-c210xt All-in-One CTO Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR)
Model6U51AV#ABA
FYI...I now have a cd stuck in it, because even the eject button doesn't work. I've shut my computer down, unplugged it, and restarted it. I've tried re-installing drivers. Nothing has worked.

Hi,
You need to contact HP Support and get a service technician to correct your problem. It's hard for me to believe that HP would have replaced the optical drive without ensuring that it worked.
HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.
Let us know if you have more issues. We can try to get your problem escalated.

After recently installing itunes on my new PC running windows 8, the CD/DVD drives no longer works, gives a code 19 message. Seems itunes is impacting the registry of the DVD drive. What is best solution to keep running itunes normally in the future & get the CD/DVD drive working again? if I delete the upper / lower registry keys what other functions are impacted? I see others say itunes asks for a reinstall...then same problem all over again! THX

Blu ray drive no longer recognizing dvds or blu ray discs

Until about a week ago I was able to read cds, dvds, and blu ray discs with my dv6 product number lm720av. Windows 7 64 bit. I put in a disc recently and it tries to read the disc for a couple of minutes before it stops trying and shows no disc in the drive. I looked online and it looked like there were other instances of this happening but no one had a solution. It can read cds but not dvd or blu ray at this point. I tried uninstalling the optical drive via device manager and it uninstalled no problem then windows automatically found the drive and reinstalled the drivers which did not change the results. I saw online people were suggesting running sfc under administrator mode in the command prompt. No change. Does this mean my blu ray diode failed? I see two lenses in the drive, is one cd and the other a combo dvd/blu ray? Any other suggestions?
I am about 3 weeks out of warranty on this laptop.

Hi,
The following procedure will test if your notebook can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the notebook. So if you find that the notebook will not boot from the DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD. Download the ISO from the link below.
Windows 7 64bit
You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, insert the DVD and then restart the notebook and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the DVD and restart. If the notebook will not boot from the DVD, it will just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the DVD.
Let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

CD/DVD drive no longer reads music CD's after 10.5.6 upgrade

After going through the 10.5.6 upgrade, the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E on my 2.16 Intel MacBook is no longer recognizing music CD's. Bought 3 new CD's just before upgrading and they aren't recognized now, as well as older CD's I own. DVD's and software CD/DVD's seem to work fine however.
Any ideas on why and how to correct the issue? Is there a firmware update for the Matshita DVD drives used by Apple?
Thanks in advance
Joseph

My G5 iMac was doing the same thing in the early months of 2008, and it wasn't till June that I discovered the drive itself was going bad. I could burn a disc, and when it finished, it wouldn't mount. I would reboot, and while the disc would then mount, the iMac said it was not the proper format. (Even though it was just burned on the Mac).
A new drive eliminated this problem, so I would ask, how old is your computer?
Mine was a little over two years old when it started this, and it took four months to completely die on me.

Don't know how long ago this problem started, but whenever a cd or dvd is in the drive, the light flashes on and off. If you double click on the dvd drive in windows explorer, it takes a long time trying to read it, then says no dvd/cd in drive. Anyone else have this problem?

You're welcome - good to hear it's Ok

CD and DVD Drives no longer visible in "my computer"

After loading the i-pod software, the CD and DVD drives are no longer visible in My Computer. They say they are present but not accessible.
Can any one shed any light on this subject
Thanks
Nick

My Father-In-Law is running into the same issue. He can use his nano fine, but he can't see his CD drive. He has discovered that if iTunes is open, then he can access the drive, but if iTunes isn't launched, the drive is not recognized.
He already had an existing version of iTunes on his laptop (it's an HP btw), and his problems started after he used the install CD that came with the iPod.
We are going to try and uninstall iTunes and then just download it off Apple's website to see if that corrects the problem.

DVD drive no longer shows up

I got a HP Pavilion g6-2392nr a few days ago and today I decided to create some recovery disks. This is Windows 8.1 I should mention. I created disks 1-5 but when I put a dvd in the drive for disk 6, it kept waiting for me to insert the disk. I tried another disk and it also could not find it. So I cancelled the creation of the recovery media and restarted. When I logged back into Windows I attempted to read another disk, just to make sure it was working, but the drive never appeared in the file manager, though I do hear it spinning up. After this I attached my usb dvd drive and tried to finish the final disk. This seemed to finish but then it told me to insert another disk. Anyway, when I look at the device manager the only driver I see is the usb DVD drive, but no drivers now seem to correspond to the integrated one in the laptop.
Does anyone know why this might suddenly happen after hours of working fine? I am getting very frustrated because this is just another in a long line of problems I have been having since getting this computer.

Okay, eventually I found a suggestion in one of the troubleshooting guides that indicated that I should remove the battery and power, shut down for 10 seconds and restart. This worked. What I want to know now is, why would this work, and should I still be concerned that there is a problem with the drive?

After security patch 03/04/2014 OSX 10.7.5, first one, then a second, external backup drive no longer recognized. Diagnostics for the FireWire one displays brand name of unit, but Time Machine and its own app don't see it. Where do I start?

Yesterday I installed the security patch, OSX 10.7.5 to my IMac that is about 2 years old.
Today my Seagate BackupPlus for Mac will power on but is not recognized. It does not show up as a device, Time Machine says the latest backup was DELAYED, last successful at 03/04/2014 9:35 PM (yesterday) and next backup would begin when the disk was connected. An error message I did not save said basically the drive was not recognized.   I did all drive's troubleshooting steps, including installing a newer version of their app. I tried swapping USB for FireWire, changing electrical outlets, etc.
It seems a bit coincidental to have 2 drives "fail" simultaneously. Is anyone else having this issue after this security patch? What would be the approach from the Mac side? TIA for any assistance.
Please see below regarding the second drive. Is this a red herring, or does it help pinpoint where the failure might lie?
I also have a Seagate GoFlex that WAS recognized until I did the troubleshooting on the other drive. When I put it back on after testing the other drive with FireWire, it now is no longer recognized.
Diagnostics says this about that:

Thirdly, in after one of the testing/reboot loops, the HP WiFi printer was no longer recognized, but after a few more it came back.

I have a similar problem.
Moreover, as my external drive is split in 2 for (a) regular storage // (b) time machine usage, I can see in the Finder that I can connect to the (a) regular storage part and use it normally (image 1).
And I cannot connect to the backup part in Finder , nor see it in Disk Utility, nor use it in Time Machine (although it's listed in the Time Machine preferences, image 2), as it does not connect (image 3).
Can somebody help?

2 TB External Drive no Longer Recognized by iMac 27"

I have a 2 TB external HD (actually two 1 TB drives housed together in a OQC Mercury Elite Case) that has been working flawlessly for about 10 months as my Time Machine backup to the iMac 27". I have it hooked via FW800.
Yesterday I noticed that TM backup failed and when playing around, I also noticed that the drive was no longer recognized. I check System Profiler and the drive was not seen. I did a PRAM reset (as this usually fixed the FW800 issues), but still no drive.
Thinking I had a faulty FW800 port on the iMac, I switched the connection to USB 2. I see the Drive listed in the USB Device Tree in System Profiler, but still nothing on Finder.
I opened Disk Utliltiy and I see a listing for a "2 TB External Raid Media" and then as a indent is says "Disk 3s3", but this is grayed out and you can not click on it to, say, repair permissions.
I installed an update late Friday night and I have no idea if this is the reason, but I am curious what the next step might be. I am using 10.6.4.

James,
There are some basics you can do to do trouble shoot the FW800 problem. First is doing a SMC reset, follow the instructions for Intel based iMacs. This letter covers multiple models of Macs and you need to follow the correct procedure.
The next item to try would be resetting the PRAM.
Finally The X Lab has written a good article on troubleshooting Firewire devices. You can locate that article here.
Hope this helps out some.
Regards,
Roger
