T42p CD-ROM/DVD not responding

Hello All!
My CD/DVD is not responding when I insert a disc. It's showing up in the files section but it's not reading or playing anything.
Is this a driver issue or hardware issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If it is the same CD drive that worked in the same T42p before and you haven't recently flashed the drive or your BIOS or other critical file system driver in Windows.....
your drive is going out. BUT, TAKE A $4 can of compressed air and blast out anything that comes off and do so until clean.
Next, carefully and gently slide back and forth a few times the reader assembly, it is theapparatus typically parked at the cneter spindle and can be carefully hand worked since older drives may be dry of adequate grease to keep the tracks responsive.
If the drive is just stuck, it would spit errors at the OS and may relay to the end user or not.
If that drive didn't come with that PC and never worked before, then conduct the research with respetive model numbers since drives can be flashed and the possibilities and combinations are endless to describe here.v

  • CD/DVD Not responding

    I have never had a machine that has a DVD/CD burner before. Only my work machine has one...so ready to go...I put in a cd wanting to pull some photos off that I had on it. I put it in the CD/DVD drive and nothing. The machine doesn't seem to know it has a CD/DVD drive at all.
    Under computer, it shows a C drive and D drive and several removable drives. But nothing else. I have deleted the drivers and made the machine re-find drivers. Thinking it was just a glitch that could fix itself but nope that didn't work. Any idea's. 
    This is the first time I have used it. Not sure what to do. Not all that clear on the in's and out's of Vista just yet either. So maybe I am missing something. Please help. Thanks!

  • Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

    I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
    I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
    I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
    The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
    If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
    DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
    Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
    However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
    I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
    I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
    Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
    I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
    But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
    If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
    PLS help me somebody -
    THANKS!

    Hi Michal
    Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
    Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
    So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
    My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
    As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
    Now some details about your dual OS installation.
    You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
    This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
    The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
    Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
    This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
    Thats it!

  • DVD Burner not responding after installing Mountain Lion - Macbook Pro

    The superdrive can play a disc but when trying to burn a DVD with programs like DVD2Onex, Toast and DVD Studio Pro I get an error message stating, in so many words, that the drive is either busy or not responding.
    It was perfectly fine until I installed Mountain Lion.
    What in the world. I got some DVDs to burn. I need to burn VIDEO_TS files, not iso, imgs or anything like that. I need to know why I can no longer burn anything since installing this terrible OS.

    great

  • CD ROM / DVD Drive not recognised and virus on computer

    Can anybody help please?
    My CD ROM / DVD Drive has failed. I have tried troubleshooting etc but to no avail. The computer does not recognise I have a cd rom / dvd drive as it says it is not recognised by the registry?
    I also have a virus I cannot get rid of, this may be part of the problem (Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c) I have run numerous virus, spyware and trojan checks but there is no cure yet?
    I tried system recovery but it will not let me recover to a previous date.
    I cannot use my recovery disc because the computer does not recognise the drive. A catch 22 situation.
    Can anyone offer any advice other than throw it out of the window?
    Help from anyone would be much appreciated.
    Regards
    PG
    Frustrated notebook user.

    HI Paul,
    I think your first priority will be to remove the virus from your notebook. The following link contains details of the virus :-
    http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.desktophijack.html
    Is you CD-ROM shown in the BIOS ? If so then set it to be the first selectable boot device and you should then be able to load your recovery disk and reboot from it.

  • ITunes 11 Not Responding When I Try to Burn a CD

    So.. I have a Windows PC, Windows 7 64Bit. I installed the latest version of iTunes.
    When I insert a CD-R to burn, it immediately goes into "NOT RESPONDING" mode.
    Now, I don't even get that pop-up that allows me to choose CD, Data Disc or MP3 disc. That no longer pops up as it's already in NOT RESPONDING mode.
    So, here's what I have tried.
    (ALL of these steps did NOT fix the issue)
    Deleting and re-installing iTunes.
    Tried 6 different brands and types of CD-Rs. Regular, LightScribe, Memorex brand, Maxell brand, Philips brand, etc. No difference.
    Updating the drivers of the DVD-ROM/recordable drive.
    Did a Window update.
    Deleted the drivers for the drive and let Windows Re-install them
    Uncheck the "Search Entire Library" option in hourglass search because that, too, freezes iTunes 11.
    Repair iTunes (vs. remove).
    When none of this worked, I said "Forget this, iTunes 11 isn't stable. I'm going back to version 10.7!"
    So, I uninstalled/removed iTunes 11.
    I found the install for iTunes 10.7.
    I tried to install iTunes 10.7
    I got this error: "iTUNES 10.7 Cannot be used because the iTunes library was created in a later version of iTunes"
    Lovely.
    So, what was left?? I tried SYSTEM RESTORE.
    Re-installed iTunes 11.
    Did not help.
    When I tried to re-install iTunes 10.7, it would NOT open so I cannot go find PREVIOUS iTunes Libraries and use those.
    PLEASE help! THANKS!!

  • Apple (Finder) menu do not respond

    I make a search but could find anything related to this specific trouble.
    It has happen already few time (3) after download or update a soft (QT) Apple/Finder Menu does not respond anymore to function SLEEP, RESTART and SHUT DOWN.
    I have repair permission (no result), run ONYX 1.5.3 (no result), Disk Warrior 4.0 (no result), eDrive -TTP 4.1.2- (no result)...
    The Mac (almost) never stop or put in sleep to let utilities like Onyx and TTP check/repair automatically on night.
    Since I thought it should be a corrupted preference file, I moved on desktop com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and restart.
    The two first time I did that, Finder was working again normally. But this time not !
    I also try disable Application Enhancer 2.0.2 for testing and also kill the finder from Activity Monitor (an advise), through away again com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.
    At restart, still no response at menu Sleep, start etc...
    Any idea what could I try now to solve that ? It's so boring !

    Hi cldjr!
    Which of your Macs are you having a problem with? The iMac or the iBook?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    By all means, run Repair Permissions, as Dimaxum suggested, which should be run from Disk Utility, located in the Utilities folder, while booted from the Startup Volume, not from the system disc. Instructions posted below.
    In addition, if you are able to startup from the system disc, run Repair Disk. Instructions posted below.
    If neither of those corrects the problem, reinstalling the 10.3.9 Combo Update, may correct the problem.
    When completed, run Repair Permissions once again.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
    THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
    1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
    2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3.Click the First Aid tab.
    4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
    8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
    10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
    11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.

  • [Athlon64] CD / DVD not working properly, Neao K8T800 Pro series.

    Hi all,
    I purchased a MSI K8t Neo2 motherboard along with a AMD 64 3200+ (socket 939) in the beginning of May.
    When i installed the parts in my case I experienced some problems getting windows (which I reinstalled) to detect all the Harddrives i had.
    I solved this by putting 3 HDD's on one IDE interface, and 1 on a separate controllercard. on the other IDE interface i put my Sony DRU-700A DVD alone.
    This worked, to a certain extent.. When I place a disc in the DVD, windows gets a hizziefit and starts to lag insanely, when it's finally done, it won't autostart the discs i put in, i can't double-click it from My Computer as i get the error:
    "F:\
    Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteprocessMemory request was completed."
    Doesn't tell me much.. I then try ro right-click F: and select "exlore", AHA! this works. I get into the disc and i can move around in the foldertrees, but it takes time.. My GOD it takes time...
    When i finally reach my destination and try to execute a .exe file, this happens:
    "F:\ is not a valid win32 application".
    At this point one starts to think: "ok.. i know that.. but the exe-file i tried to start IS..."
    NOTE: From time to time i've noticed that it switched between these 2 error messages, i.e i get the "not valid" when trying to start the disc and the "ReadError" when starting a .exe-file, and vice versa.
    I have the latest bios, i have tried adding a LG CD-R/W tp the process and tested if that worked, see results here: www.vikholm.se/say_what.gif     
    I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but i know that CAN'T be right?
    I then went into the Device Manager and selected "uninstall" on my Sony DVD, thinking it has to find new hardware on reboot and reinstall it. Windows finds nothing, and i can't seem to get it back again..
    Anyways, i noticed that 2 updates to my mobo was avaliable through MSI Live Update, so i choose the newer one and install it, thinking it might solve this problem.
    Select reboot -> Click "exit now" on firefox.exe  -> run for work as i', late -> come home now just to see that windows did NOT reboot as i got an error code from some exe-file.
    Anyways, reboot properly this time and half-way through the boot up it reboots again, and at the loadingscreen where you can see the biosversion and such it says:
    "Sec Master drive is not ATAPI compatible
    F1 to Resume"
    This is my LG CD-R/W. I press F1 and it boots just fine, and i see that my LG is no longer avaliable in My computer.
    These are my problems.
    To sum things up:
    1. Could it be my mobo that is screwed up in the IDE interfaces?
    2. Could it be my IDE cables? (i don't have any others to try with =( )
    3. I've been in contact with Sony's support, accordign to their firmware testers and producttest programs, my device worked as it should.
    4. Anyone have any tips on how to get my Sonydevice back to windows without reinstalling windows? It not, i'll just have to reinstall.
    5. If all else failes, can anyone lend me a handgun so i can end my misery?
    Thanks a million for reading and if you have the slightest idea of what might fix ANY of the problems stated above, do not hesitate to post. Please.

    The promise controller is simply there to add to their Sata Raid ability. It is not for opticals.
    Then let's do some RTFM:
    Quote
    Pages 1-2 and 1-3
    Promise 20579 On-Board (Optional)
    >Supports two SATA and one IDE
    -  RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 supported
    -  RAID function work with ATA133+SATA H/D or two SATA H/DConnect up to two SATA devices (such as SATA HDD, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and
    two ATA133 devices
    > SATA 150MB/s with extensions (SATA II Phase I)
    > RAID Smart function
    > SATA ATAPI device compatible
    That clearly states the ability to get opticals connected. It is admitted, that there only SATA opticals are mentioned.
    Quote
    Page 2-18
    Parallel ATA/Serial ATA RAID Connectors controlled by Promise
    20579: IDE3/SER1/SER2 (Optional)
    The brand new Promise 20579 chipset supports  one IDE connector IDE3 and two
    serial connectors SER1& SER2.
    IDE3 is a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 controller that provides
    PIO mode and DMA mode 0~5, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. You
    can connect up to 2 hard disk drives---one IDE master and one IDE slave.
    Other devices than HDDs are not mentioned in the IDE3 section.
    Conclusion: According to the documentation, opticals can be connected to the promise controller, at least if they are connected to the SATA-interface.
    Own experiments show:
    If an optical drive is connected to IDE3, the promise controller detects it correctly. If a bootable media is inserted, it is detected as bootable by the controller BIOS.
    An old LD 8240 CD-Writer (only MWDMA2/PIO4 capable) works partly, if attached to IDE3, but there are errors. Playing Audio CDs and DAE generates drop-outs. CD burning results in corrupted data on the media.
    If I connect a LG 4163B DVD-Writer, there are no issues concerning CD-playback or DAE. CD-recording was not tried out. The DVD-RAM feature fails, possibly due to driver interference.
    This shows, that there at least a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (PATA) might work on the promise controller, but that also depends on the drive itself.

  • Attempt to open Library - FCPX (not responding)

    Running latest OS on my 2008 MacPro.
    Have been editing for weeks, no trouble opening the Library containing a 2-hour film ready to be burned to a DVD.
    Yesterday it opened fine, but after I closed FCPX and then, a little later, tried to open that Library... the spinning beach ball of death.
    Every attempt at repairing preferences, etc. failed.
    Just now I uninstalled FCPX and reinstalled it.
    Every other Library except the project I need to access opens.
    I attempted to open the back-up: it brings about the spinning beach ball of death too. In Force Quit: FCPX (not responding).
    Here's the latest of about 15 crash reports... with a film due to be distributed to cast and crew... this is frustrating.
    Appreciate any help with restoring this project.
    Thanks,
    Cat

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks.
    I think I follow... only... I can't open the Library to get to the projects that I'd want to move to a new library...
    I can open all Libraries except the one containing my film.
    I've been trying to figure out how to place the inaccessible projects (film scenes) into a new library WITHOUT opening FCPX.
    FYI, when I tried to open backups (from dates when I'd had no problems closing/re-opening the Library in question) everything seems fine (i.e., my projects/scene seem to be read easily) until I get to the FILM.fcpbundle. Once this enters the mix, FCPX crashes.
    Thanks again.
    Appreciated!

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later AND Your iPhone has never been backed up to this computer AND always Not Responding

    First: I get the message telling me that "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later."
    Second: In the Summary Tab under Backups, iTunes is telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to my computer - which is not true. It's also telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud. Again, not true. Although my backups are all missing from iTunes, I can see what I think is them in their folder: C:\Users\*your user name here*\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync.
    Third: iTunes is SLOOOOOOOOW. It takes nearly ten minutes - sometimes more - to launch, and when it does, it's constantly not responding. It seems every time I touch something it stops responding.
    Fourth: I've been searching this "help" forum for a solution, and I've seen many other references, yet the only suggestion I've seen from someone from Apple is a reference to a solution that is over 2 years old - and DOESN'T WORK for anyone I can see who's tried it!
    I've tried everything I could think of, and that others have suggested, including:
    Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes
    Ensuring I have the latest version of iTunes
    Re-setting sync history
    Renaming my Backup folder at the path above, and letting iTunes create a new one
    Running around the house whilst pulling my hair and yelling obscenities
    None helped. At all.
    Hmmm... Been a devoted Apple/iOS guy for years, but maybe it's time to switch to Android?

    I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
    I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
    Getting there.... I hope!

  • Finder Not Responding OS 10.4

    HELP! While dragging a bunch of photos from a file to the Trash, I accidently dropped them on the desktop. I now have over 4,000 photos copying to my iMac desktop--or trying to. Finder is not responding. I have relaunched and forced a restart. It has been more than an hour and my desktop appears to be frozen--or, at best, still "working".
    Is there anything I can do to stop the copy process? Do you think it will eventually finish copying?

    Keep an eye on disk space. If it ever flows over 85% full, most have found that to be the point of diminishing returns when it comes to filling up the hard drive. Burn to CD and DVD what you can beyond that until you can get another drive. See my backup FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    and my disk full FAQ
    http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
    Hopefully that will help you in the future.

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!
