Windows 7 disc not recognized...

Yeh, I know the board is flooded with this same problem, but after trying many suggestions I still cannot get this working. I have burned 4 dvd with different methods, one using a windows pc, the others using disk utility, with lowest speed and different methods that appeared to be the same.
The ISO I'm using worked flawlessly on a macbook air via bootable usb (option I don't have for the iMac)... And I cannot just create partition because the merged both steps and now require the disc for that :-/
Comp is an iMac i5 2011 with Mountain Lion installed.
I have installed bootcamp on many macs and never had these problems, this is supposed to be an easy cake task...
Any advice is welcome!

Redownload and burn it at a slower setting in Disk Utility.

  • HP 5470c Scanjet on Windows 7 not recognized / will not initialize

    Scanner first set up on Windows Xp system. New HP p6710f desktop purchased last year with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system which recognized the scanner on USB and worked flawlessly . Recently rearranged the office which required disconnecting the peripherals, and now the scanner is not recognized .
    The product support area on this website says the scanner is not supported on WIn 7 .  How then did it work previously ?
    And why would HP discontinue support for a product that still has a long useable life ? Is this just a ruse to encourage purchase of new products ? Should the baby be thrown out with the wash water ?
    I am not a computer guru , but suspect a 'driver' is needed to get operational again ?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered .

  • CS5 -- Acrobat 9 Pro disc not recognized

    PC, running Windows 7. I just installed CS5 Design Premium from the DVD and all seems to be well. Then I inserted the Acrobat 9 Pro disc. The drive spins for awhile, then I get a prompt to insert a disc (which is already inserted). Same thing happens when I insert the Content disc. Both discs are recognized on other PCs, and every other disc I have -- including the CS5 DP disc of course -- works fine in the same drive.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks, John

    I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version.  For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running.  I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

  • Windows Vista not recognizing ZEN Mi

    I upgraded to Windows Vista 32-bit ultimate, and my ZEN Micro is not recognized. I have let Vista search for drivers online automatically, but it finds no solution. Creative says there is nati've support, so why is my ZEN not recognized?

    Update:?I downloaded the XP driver and ran it in XP SP2 compatibility mode. My ZEN now shows up under My Computer, however the device is still not recognized by MediaSource, ZENcast, or the playsure sync manager. I get the error "no device connected" even though it is showing up in My Computer and I can view my files. Any ideas?Message Edited by michaelgazin on 04-8-2007:58 PM

  • Windows 8 not recognizing my ipod

    I got a new computer in December and since then, I have been unable to get the computer to recognize my iPod. It's an older model. White with click wheel, 30GB.  I can't reset it using iTunes because the computer won't even recognize it. It's not even charging when connected to the computer.  I've gone through the 5 steps, but the problem isn't with any of those. The iPod works, iTunes works. Windows 8 is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.

  • External hard disc not recognized

    I have been using a WD external hard disc with Time Machine. Today I had it plugged into a USB powered hub when the house electrical power briefly went off then on, twice. A message appeared stating that device was removed incorrectly (or words to that effect). Now the HD does not appear on the desktop. It is recognized in "about this computer" as a USB device. It is not recognized in disc utility and thus can not be mounted.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    Answered my own question. Working now. Connected directly to computer USB and ignored it for a couple of hours and now it is visible on the desktop and appears to be working.

  • DVD / Disc not recognized Equium A100

    I've recently purchased an Equium Laptop with Vista installed. On my old pc (WXP) I backed up a lot of photos and files onto a DVD disc using nero, when I try to load these onto my laptop the disc is not recognized.
    I have many files on other DVDs these are also not recognised, I wish to transfer these files onto my laptop. Can anybody help out with this?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi
    As you probably not known, not every CD or DVD is compatible with every drive.
    This means that sometimes the medium cannot be recognized and the drive cannot read or write on CD or DVD.
    In my knowledge in the user manual you should find a list of compatible CD and DVD.
    PS: I use the TDK CDs and TDK DVDs. Im very satisfied

  • Windows suddenly not recognizing iPod Shuffle - drive letter conflict

    If you're having troubles with your PC not recognizing your Shuffle even though it used to recognize it in the past, this is just something else to consider (sorry if it's already been covered):
    When I originally connected my Shuffle to my laptop on my home network, it was recognized immediately, and my WinXP OS assigned it the drive letter "I". Later, with the Shuffle no longer connected to the laptop, I was setting up my home network, and I mapped one of my shared network locations to the "I" drive letter on my laptop. The next time I plugged my Shuffle in, Windows would not recognize it. I proceeded to plug it into both of the other computers on my home network, and it was recognized immediately on both of them. So I then went back to the original laptop, disconnected the network drive mapping I had set up for "I". Once I did that, when I plugged my Shuffle back in, the Shuffle was again being recognized immediately (not surprisingly, still as drive letter "I"). In short, Windows has a memory of drive mappings made in the past, and sometimes this can produce unexpected or unwanted behavior (I would have expected my Shuffle to automatically be assigned the next open drive letter, but alas, that was not the case in my experience).
    To minimize the possibility of running into this problem again (in case I do more network drive mapping in the future), I used the Disk Management utility in WinXP to change/force the Shuffle's drive letter on my laptop to be "Z" (right click on My Computer and choose Manage, then look for the Disk Management module - you probably will need Admin rights to do this, but I haven't confirmed that).
    PC   Windows XP Pro  

    Had this happening too, had a very old cable, tried a new cable and it worked great. My ipod was showing up in itunes, but not in windows (or in device manager). When I tried to use the utility to copy files from my ipod to my hard drive I couldn't do it (wonderful utility getsharepod.com). The new cable solved the problem!

  • Windows 7 not recognizing device - Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card

    Windows 7 is not recognizing my Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card (Qualcomm Gobi 2000).  I can't even uninstall the driver, it says that I don't have "sufficient permission" to stop device or something to that effect
    (though I'm an administrator).  I also can't re-install the same or different driver.  I might have installed the wrong driver, though this is supposed to be the correct one according to Dell after typing in my service tag.  I went to the FTP
    to get one specifically for "Verizon Wireless", but I can't uninstall the prior driver.
    How can I fix these issues?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Any update?
    Have you tried safe mode mentioned in the first reply? What is the status of the driver in device manager? For "Verizon Wireless", have you installed any verizon software or related verizon device? Uninstall this kind software, then uninstll driver again
    as a test.
    Contact this support, maybe they can give some different ideas.

  • Dvd viewer disc not recognized

    I insterted a disc into the drive to view a sunday school video. DVD player (apple icon)
    put out a message that there was not a recognized disc (paraphrasing).
    I tried to eject the disc but macbook pro won't eject the disc.
    should I look for another app to locate & eject the disc?
    This macbook is a year old with no previous problems with the disc drive.
    Oh, all my softward gets updated regularly but I had some problems with Maverick
    trying to update several times. I don't believe I have a hd screen, and Maverick
    is having a problem with this.
    Suggestions about how to eject the disc? Thanks

    Hey there MrsGart,
    It sounds like your disk will not eject from the drive, and is causing an error about the disc not being a recognized format. If there is no DVD icon on the desktop to drag to the trash,  I would try this step from the article named:
    If you can't eject a CD or DVD or open the drive tray
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2097
    If that doesn't work, restart the computer, then hold down the mouse button or trackpad button while the computer is starting up, until the disc is ejected.
    To restart, choose Restart from the Apple menu.
    If you are unable to remove the disc from the drive please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
