cd/dvd device not found
I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6227 with Vista Home Premium
preinstalled. The cd/dvd device worked fine until recently. Suggested solutions here and on the internet assume XP is the current operating system or XP was upgraded to Vista Beta2 or Vista. I need a solution for an OEM Vista operating system. |

Hi Jim--
This solution will probably work and OEM or not will not be a factor for this issue. It's probably about filter values. The most common reason a DVD drive is not detected in XP or Vista is detailed in this MSKB: (It applies to Vista RTM despite MSFT's overlooking that it needs to update the title over a month after public RTM)--and it is far and away the most common reason for your symptom. CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive appears to be missing after you install Windows XP or Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;320553 Look for any upper or lower filter values in the rregistry and delete them at the specified subkey values if they exist. These are much rarer possibilities: CD-R drive or CD-RW drive is not recognized as a recordable device http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/316529/ Cannot copy files to the CD-R/CD-RW drive http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;326982 CD-ROM Drive May Not Be Able to Read a UDF-Formatted Disc in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;321640 Good luck, CH "Jim Vary" Jim wrote in message ...

I have two new Dell Dimension 9200s and both of them have developed this
problem. Fix was - power down - open case - disconnect cables from affected DVD - reconnect cables - power up - hit F2 to enter BIOS set up - make sure DVD is "ON" in BIOS. If not turn ON. Hope this help you. FK "Chad Harris" vistaneedsmuchowork.net wrote in message ... Hi Jim-- This solution will probably work and OEM or not will not be a factor for this issue.
