Why is my optical drive not detected by the computer. hp dv5-1132us

the optical drive on my hp dv5-1132us is not being detected by the computer, how can i fix it?

Try this Microsoft autofix:

You can also try the manual fix described in the same post.
If this does not work you have to start thinking hardware. You can test whether the drive is working, independent of Windows, by trying to boot from the drive with a bootable disk.

Hp g6000 dvd drive not detected in my computer, tried registry fix and still not working.

Hi i have a hp g6093ea laptop and for a couple of weeks now i have had my dvd drive dissapear from my computer.
i have the tried the registry thing where you delete the upper and lower filters and then restart laptop.
it worked then couple days later it was gone again.
i have removed the dvd from laptop and clean the connection and put it back still the same.
i was told to remove any burning programs and reinstall so i did that and the drive came back then after reboot went again.
the dvd drive ejects and has power and attempts to read the disk but its just not detected in my computer.
i have even been into the bios and put cd drive as boot first.,
then put my bootable xp pro disk in and it wont boot from the bios.
so i thought i would try an external drive to boot from bios, and it doesnt boot from there either.
i have had the drive randomly pop up in my computer and then after a restart it would be gone again.
so i cant put a fresh install on my laptop and i dont know what else i can do.
any help
thanks

How old is your laptop?
Have you had any other problems, besides the dvd drive, in the past few months?

Seagate Hard Drives not detected by the Windows 7 installer

I've spent hours on this trying every conceivable reason, so I apologize in advance for the length on this post.
I connected a Seagate 320GB 7200.10 hard drive to a P35 chipset system and attempted to install Windows 7 RTM onto it. The installer got to the part of detecting hard drives, but could not detect this drive. Native SATA mode was enabled, and AHCI was enabled.
I disabled Native SATA mode, then after that failed I also tried disabling AHCI by setting the controller to IDE mode. Still, the Windows 7 installer refused to detect the drive.
I replaced both the SATA & power cables, verified the drives are detected by the AHCI firmware and the BIOS, and I even tried different motherboard SATA ports to no effect. I took a second , identical Seagate 320GB SATA hard drive, this time pre-formatted it inside Windows 7 RC using NTFS defaults, and again (with and without AHCI and Native SATA mode) Windows 7 will not see this hard drive either!
I even downloaded the AHCI preinstall drivers and loaded these using a flash drive. When I did Windows 7 would autodetect the ICH9 driver and I would click Next. Windows 7 would suddenly see the drive, but all options to format or create a partition are grayed out. Clicking the more info button gives me this error message:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I used the AHCI preinstall drivers specific for the motherboard (Vista 64) and I also tried the AHCI preinstall drivers from Intel for Windows 7 RC 64. As of this writing Intel has not released official Windows 7 RTM Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers.
In frustration I installed a SSD (with AHCI and Native SATA mode enabled) and suddenly Windows 7 detects the SSD without needing to load any driver (as would be expected, since Vista and 7 include Intel Storage Manager drivers by default already). I installed Windows 7 RTM 64bit onto the SSD without issue.
15 minutes later I was at the Windows 7 desktop, and Windows 7 was showing the Seagate 320GB hard drive under "My Computer" as normal. I could even use the Seagate hard drive as normal as if nothing was wrong. For kicks I launched the Windows 7 installer inside Windows 7, but as you can see below it still refused to see the drive, despite the drive being shown under My Computer:
(Since I can't use thumbnails, here's the direct link: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n129/Chanur64/Box/Howpossible.jpg )
Also I should note I previously had Windows 7 Beta installed on an IDE drive in this exact system, and had no problems with it. Windows 7 RTM would allow me to install to an IDE drive and allowed me to install to an SSD, but it cannot see and cannot install onto both Seagate 320GB hard drives. These Seagates are known good drives previously part of a RAID 5 array.
If anyone knows what is going on or has some ideas I've not tried I would love to hear from you and get this figured out. Suffice to say this is not a promising start for Windows 7.
Intel Q6600
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 (ICH9R southbridge)
4GB DDR2-800
2x Seagate 320GB SATA 7200.10
Intel X25-M 80GB
8800GTS 320mb
PC Power & Cooling 750w PSU

I just had to solve the same issue with a Seagate Momentus Thin hard drive (
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/slim-laptop-hard-drives/)
Tried several BIOS configuration, AHCI drivers, etc and Windows 7 32bits couldn't detect the drive.
My solution was to boot with a USB pendrive with HirenCD tools (http://www.hiren.info/) and use a partition manager to erase disk contents, create and format a partition.
Windows 7 detected the hard drive for the first time and now is installing, so.. crossing fingers.
Thanks,
Diego
Diego,
Thanks for the information and the link to Hiren.info! I'm creating my bootable flash drive now. I'll report back if I get this to work.
I had this same issue on a Seagate Momentus 7200.2 "laptop" hard drive. I say "lap top" in quotes because it's actually in a desktop (HP Compaq Ultra-slim dc7800). I believe it was an upgrade, so it took me a while to figure out what I was dealing
with until I finally took out the harddrive and checked what company made it!
Thanks everyone!

Optical Drive Not Detected

Hey all,
I'm running Arch x86_64 with Gnome, fresh install, and for some reason my optical drive isn't detected. I know the drive works, as I can boot to cd's and the likes, however, the drive doesn't automount, and in fact isn't detected at all (so it seems to me, at least) within the session.
I could really use some help, and will gladly provide any information needed. Thanks in advance!

I don't know anything about automounting, but Arch doesn't provide /dev/cdrom links anymore, just /dev/sr0 - maybe that's the problem? Have you tried mounting manually using /dev/sr0 as the device?
What's the output of
cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info

Optical drive not working since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Backstory:
I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display after a coworker expressed interest in my current laptop (a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP). I had just upgraded the current MBP to Mountain Lion, but decided to sell in order to offset the cost of the new machine.
As I started backing things up last week, I realized that my optical drive had ceased functioning ("The operation can't be completed because you don't have the necessary permission." pops up whenever any optical media, blank or otherwise, is inserted).
I took the computer to the Apple Store, where they kept it overnight. They tried swapping in a new optical drive, but were unable to get the machine to correctly recognize optical media. I was told it was a permissions issue with Mountain Lion. They offered to downgrade the OS for me, but Mountain Lion is one of the selling points (as is "working optical drive"). Now my coworker is a little less eager to buy.
My new MacBook Pro should arrive in the next few days, at which point I'll take my current machine back to the Apple Store. I'll try to get them to do a full OS reinstall and see if they can repair the permissions issue in the process, but I'm not optimistic.
My question is this:
Is it likely a subsequent OS update will address this issue? Or am I simply out of luck?

You paid for a license to use Mountain Lion & that license is forever tied to YOUR Apple ID. You cannot distribute Mountain Lion in any way shape or form. If you were to sell your computer, with Mountain Lion installed, as I've already provided, the new owner will never be able to update or restore OS X, should the need arise. You will have sold the new owner a huge bag of hurt.
Good luck.

Slot loading optical drive not recognized.

Recently I replaced a none functioning optical drive in my 15" 1.67 HS PB with 2.0g ram 160hdd. On reboot it will show a grey screen or a ? folder. I have tried everything ( and I mean everything) 2x over. This is what I find:
1) The PB will boot up fine if only either the od or the hdd is connected to the mother board. But not with both drive connected.
2) The PB will boot up with an external PB2 in target disk mode with only the od drive connected. I mentioned this because this allow me to use apple HW test that described the hdd as ID-0.
3) The od is a UJ85J-B panasonic/masushita from owc. Exchanged x2 thinking its defective.
I believe this is a master/slave issue. my question is will the following article apply to my situation.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/PioneerK04L_mastermod.html
Is ther anything else I can do or use the od as an external?
Will very much appreciate any in put.

We have 3 right now having problems. 1 just went into the ITech store to have a CD removed. 1 will not even accept a CD anymore and the other just makes awful noises and scratches the CD. These have been minimally used also. They said the Optical Drive is bad on the 1st one. Of course, we are 1 month past our warranty! I think Apple should be backing this but when I called about it they didn't want to help me. Even saying I had not registered them even though I had documentation from them saying I had. I know the feeling of being ripped off. Our company has purchased 20 of these in the last 1 1/2 years. You think we would get a little bit of help from Apple being we have purchased so many of their products in the last 20 years.

Optical drive not recognized HP DV9910us

This problem has been driving me nuts!! It's a pioneer dr-kd08hb on hp dv9000.
The optical drive dissapeard from my laptop a few months ago. It opens, has power,spins for a bit, but does not read ANY disc.It does not appear in "computer" or "device manger".Only when i click "show hidden" it's there, but there is a message stating that the device is unplugged.
Once in while it would show up then dissapear again. I pulled it out, cleaned the contacts, and still same deal. Come and go.
I had a HD crash, and LUCKILY it worked in time to install windows 7.Right after that it worked for a few days and i thought the problem was solved...... Nope. Vanished again and not coming back!
I deleted upper and lower filters...No go
Unistalled the driver and reinstalled...No go.
Tried "FIX YA"....nothing
Bought a NEW optical drive and it does the same thing.
I'm on my last leg here, and thinking about replacing the optical drive circuit board if not the MOBO itself since i am CONVINCED it's not a software issue anymore.
I've searched the internet high and low for a solution, but have not found a fix that works for my case.

Very common...having a similar issue on a dv9812us. My optical drive works with the BIOS (spins, light flashes, opens by pushing the button) but disappears entirely once windows boots. Not in device manager, not in the computer menu. Mind doesn't even show up when I select "view hidden."

Optical drive not recognized in system profile after hardware rebuild

This is an old MacBook Pro. Apple call it vintage.
Logic board died, so rather than consign it being a doorstop, I took out the logic board and "cooked" it to reflow the solder. It actually worked!
Just prior to this and just before the logic board completely bit the dust I'd inserted a DVD into the optical drive, where it sat and didn't read, wasn't recognized etc. I was trying to drop back down in OS as Lion was too resource hungry for the old machine, so it was an OS install disk. Panther I think?
So now I've got the logic board working, but I cannot remove the DVD. I tried all the tricks, including Terminal etc. On checking System Profile I noticed that the optical drive isn't even listed now. So my question is, is it possible I missed a connection etc when rebuilding the MBP after replacing the logic board? If so, thoughts on where I should look? Is there a way to "force" the OS to find the optical drive? Any thoughts on what to do?
I can't pull the optical drive as one of the screws is completely stripped and honestly, not sure if the laptop is even worth the cost of a replacement drive anyway.

Ok, that's it. I read a few posts in the "...SuperDrive won't accept my CD.." section. and it seems some people are just swapping optical drives like mad, ready to accept that the kit is crap, and "...oh, well, I sure hope this one works better...".
But one guy had the brains to have a look inside. Turns out dust had accumulated in the drive and on the connectors, and when he cleaned them, and unplugged and replugged them, it worked fine. So that's what I did. Took it out and put it back in. Amazing the stuff I cleared out! I also un- and re-plugged the power cable and the data ribbon at the mutha board and bingo!. We have disk, and I can breathe again.
Recommend to others they pretend they've bought a new drive, do a remove and reinstall and be very fastidious. You may not need a new one after all. I just love it that stuff can still be FIXED!
Thanks to Lou and all of you who share your experiences. It's like my brain is suddenly soooo huge...

Optical drive not showing up after installing SSD HD on satellite L75-B7150

I just installed an ssd drive in my satellite L75-B7150. I had to unscrew the locking screw on the optical drive and slide it out. Now it wont show up in this PC windows 8.1. it does have power and the light led comes on a while with a disk in it but then goes out. It seems to be plugged in ok as far as the power.Could it be a driver problem? there doesn't seem to be any specific drivers for it.The drive probably isn't making contact with the sata connection. Does any one know a trick to putting them in. the optical drive pushes in after the case is snapped together so unsnapping the case wouldn't help me.

make sure it is selected as the startup disc. system preferences>startup disc> make sure new hdd is the default startup disc.

Why is my optical drive not detected by the computer. hp dv5-1132us
