Hello
I sounds like your OPTICAL disk drive lense is dirty or the laser is failing. You can buy a lense cleaning kit and try that out or you can replace the drive. If the drive is more than a couple of years old you may want to consider replacing it. |

I have two drives, and, neither one of them pick up the disk, also, when i got into My Computer, the game icon doesn't show up, actually, neither one of my disk drives icons show up, they're both plugged in properly, seeing how they both open and close, but they just don't work. My Windows XP Ultimate Edition OS Disk works fin, but, no other disk does, I also play Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Source, both of them work.
Anyone know might be the problem? |

Hello,
check the jumper on the back of the cd/rom before you discard it . It should be set to Master before you discrd it. The jumper is a tiny clip that connects pins together. It is easy to pull this off and move it over to MA- master. Cable select can go out and seen like the cd/rom or even hard drive has died, when it actually has another rout of transportation for data. Cable select can burn out kind of like a fuse burning out. Master is another way for data to travel. just open the computer and look. This will cause alot of Hard drive errors such as can't boot into the Operating system or can't get my cd to play. It can even be intermitten errors not just total failure. Every one also needs to remember to Defrag and SCANDISK-Error checking for the hard drive. this will prolong the life. Disk drive life expectancy is also short. Keep tis in mind.

My computer is operating from Windows Vista Home Edition, 32 bits.
I would like to install previous owned WordPerfect Office 11 and all I hear is hard drive spinning for about 5 minutes then it stops without installing software. Is this a ATAPI DVD A DH16A1L problem? Any suggestions on how I can correct this. Tks so much, Comi |
I have a pioneer burner/player on my laptop. When I put a dvd or a cd in, the light goes on and you can hear the disc spinning. Then the light goes off and the spinning stops. Nothing else happens. I can go into my E drive and play it manually but it is such a pain to keep doing that. At one time a drop down would come on and it would ask what you want it opend in, like window media player, etc. but now nothing happens. Is there something that is shut off or needs ot be reprogrammed or what? Can you please help me, I am at a loss here!!! |
Okay...I found a solution to my own question I want to share with you all.....I have all my updates that automatically install. The sp3 had installed and it must have had a glitch in it as when I uninstalled it, everyting worked just perfect...works for me!!! |

What if you do not see a yellow traingle after expanding the dvd/cd driver? It sound like this must be some type of defect in this type of dvd/cd drive. I also have a Windows Vista (Business), and it is not very old. And it is also a Laptop and has a Opiarc DVD RW AD-7530B ATA Device. You can right-click and up-date device, But Window will come back and tell you that you have the most up-dated device that can be found online. |
If U don't C a yellow triangle then I'm assuming it's the drive itself that's defected. Try unplugging the device from the computer, then plug it back in. Turn off ur computer before U do ofcourse. C if this helps. |

1.Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
This can be done by opening the start menu and left clicking RUN, another option is pressing the windows logo key on the keyboard together with the R key, in the box you type regedit and click OK ( or enter on your keyboard ) 2. Find the right key in the registry. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class > {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} When you see the UpperFilters key left click it and press delete, you will be asked for a confirmation, just click YES Now do the exact same but with the Lowerfilters. 3. Reboot the computer Now restart your computer and you should have a working CD/DVD drive once more ! CONCLUSION: Some CD/DVD writing software change the filters in the registry to there own, this can sometimes cause problems. By deleting these value's windows puts them back on default after a reboot. |
