Solve : Cant find the dvd drive?

Answer»

I have a little tx1000 laptop. I know they dont have the best track record but it was working fine and then the wifi went out. I figure no problem I will use a usb wifi stick. Well i have to load the drivers for it and the dvd drive is not working. I go into my computer and its not listed. I go to the drivers manager and its not listed there either. I have all the virus stuff, malware, anti spyware, etc. And nothing shows up. Oh and it has vista EWWW.

Help?Try booting in BIOS set-up and check if its RECOGNIZED or not. You may want to re-insert your laptops DVD drive cable(if your familiar). Post back if it did not work on any suggestions, for it may be on the software conflicts.Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
Thanks for the reply.
However.... I loaded the drivers for my clear internet so I could get to the link. I had to fight this thing the whole way, It was locking up and did not download the drivers properly and then would not let me delete the program to start over. I had to pull the battery twice. I finaly got it loaded and now the dvd is back. It is running very slow and locking up a lot. It will not restore saying it has errors. I would like to put windows 7 on it but I am worried it has some kind of hardware issue. I deleted a few files and dug around. I pulled up resource monitor and it is using a lot of memory and the CPU is maxing out as well. I always knew this unit needed more memory. It only has 1 gb but has always worked in the past although a little slow. I wonder if something is sucking up all the resources? Seems funny to be using so much just idling.Please, post some computer info:
- Windows version
- processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo key , hit Pause/Break key)
- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")
- security programs in use (antivirus, firewall)

Anyway, check your upper/lower filters in the registry using regedit.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

In that registry key there will be upperfilters and lowerfilters. Delete them and reboot.Quote from: OpenSource on October 07, 2010, 09:10:30 PM

Actually, the "cdgone" zip and the reg file it contains that Broni supplied a link to does exactly that.

First of all, you need more RAM.
1GB is not enough to run Vista smoothly.
You need at least 2GB.

Then, your CPU usage is extremely high.
The main culprit is Firefox, using 24% of your CPU cycles.

Please, close all running programs and post new Process Explorer log.

Also...

Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
No installation required.
Simply unzip Autoruns.zip file, and double click on autoruns.exe file to run the program.
Go File>Save, and save it as AutoRuns.txt file to know location.

Well I took a little time off from this unit. It had me frustrated. I pulled it apart and found that it already had 2 gb of memory, I guess one was bad. I went down to the local computer store and picked up a 1 and a 2 gb. It now works great! Funny sometimes I get caught up in the big picture and miss the obvious.
Now if I can get all the hp bs off of it I bet it would be a rocket.
ThanksBackup what you need...
Use DBAN and Nuke the drive...
Borrow a MS Vista CD that matches the ver...
Use the laptop serial key to authorise...

DLoad and install all appropiate drivers...

Done.

And perfectly legal i may add....
