DVD RW Now A CDROM
Jan 31, 2009
I brought a Dell Vostro 1510 with Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7640A ATA Device slot load on it last year and everything was working fine until 2 days ago when I was trying to burn a Data DVD and suddenly the program stopped responding. I thereafter closed the program using task manager. But to my dismay, the hitherto DVD RW+ does not recognise DVDs anymore and it only recognises CDs. Any time a slot in a DVD Disk, it eject it and ask me to insert a Disk into the drive, this it dosent do with a CD.
I have tried to download the driver so as to reinstall it but its been difficult. I am afraid of uninstalling the driveras the driver DVD that came with the laptop is no longer recognised by the DVD RW device. pls advise me on what to do I hope it is not a Hardware problem..., pls, if it is, is it possible to change this slot load DVD RW device. Maybe I should also say I live in a Third world country where i might not be able to get repair due to lack of service centres, is their anything i can do? I am a student with poor resources

I have just installed vista onto a laptop using the dvd drive, but when it was all installed it hasn't seemed to install the dvd drive as it doesn't appear on my computer or device manager, just wondered if anyone knows a solution, I have tried to do the regedit thing but the files that need deleting aren't even there, want to put xp back on as the network adapter isn't working either as i think that it isn't compatible with Vista but can't seem to do it as when i try rebooting with the cd in the laptop isn't finding it, even when i got to setup to try and change boot default there is no cddvd drive option there

Vista Ulitmate SP1. My CDROM drive goes missing. If I use device manager to "scan for hardware changes" it comes back. But later, it's missing again. I've googled and found a lot of people with the same problem. I don't have any registry entries for upper/lower filters to delete.

Is it possible to rollback media player 12 to 11? On Windows 7, MP 12 does not recognize my portable CDrom player and does not show a Rip tab at all. MP 11 did all that without a problem.
