DVD Not Recognized Sporadically
I just installed Windows 7 on a Dell Studio 1737, and have problems with my DVD/CD RW. When I first put a CD or DVD in, the drive is recognized. After a short while, the DVD disappears and there is an error as if the device does not exist.
I have tried the fix for removing registry entries "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"
low and upper filters, but this does not work.
I have also tried running the command "bcdedit /set load options DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS", but this also does not work. I cannot eject the DVD/CD once the drive disappears from explorer until I completely shut down and restart the PC. Any ideas?
Please email me at (email removed for privacy) with a fix. I like Windows 7 for the low CPU usage, but actually think I am ready to go back to (gasp !) Vista. I also attempted to use the "FixIt" file on the Microsoft support site, but got an error....

Network Dropped Sporadically
Windows 7 drops my network connection on occasion, usually when I am doing multiple moderate to high bandwidth operations. Is that an issue with my network adapter or something within WIN7 RC? I have an ASUS Crosshair MOBO, AMD X2 4000+, 3 GB ram, nvidia 8600 GTS

DVD Drive Is No Longer Recognized By The System
I am using a Gateway GT5428 w/Intel Pentium D processor 935 and Windows Vista Home Premium. Windows 7 RC cannot install due to the compatability issue and when I follow the directions and remove the One Care and reboot - the E: drive is gone so no installation can take place. I have tried to disconnect the drive and reboot and then shut down again and reboot but the system still does not reconize the drive. How do I get around this problem because the boot disk absolutely will not install with the Windows Live Care on the system.

DVD Drive Not Properly Recognized In Explorer
I installed Windows 7, 64 bit last week as a dual boot on a system with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ @ 2800 MHz processor, 2048 MB of RAM, and an nVidia nForce 560 chipset. I have two internal hard drives and two USB ones attached. XP Pro is on the other partition. The DVD drive type is ATAPI, model HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H62N After installing I thought the DVD drive flamed out. It spins when I put a disk in, and the title shows in Explorer, but clicking on the drive link in the left column leads to disaster. A green bar moves like a snail across the address field. It never completes. Contents of the drive never appear. When I try to close the window, it hangs. Task Manager is never able to end that task. Sometimes the option to log off on the preliminary screen for Task Manager works, but more often I end up forcing the system off and doing a hard reboot. Explore seems to remain stuck on whatever drive it was in when I activated the G: link. I thought the drive had died and was on the verge of ordering a new one when my friendly repairman suggested that I purchase a laser lens cleaner and run that before ordering. When I got the cleaner, it did not run as I'd been led to believe. Using the G:Winclean in Run hung the computer. While I was rebooting, I popped into XP. To my astonishment, the utility autobooted and ran. Then I stuck a program disk in and the drive ran flawlessly. When I booted back to 7, nothing had changed. The drive did not work. I went to Device Manager and uninstalled the drive, then rebooted and let it reinstall. No change. I clicked on the Update Driver button, and learned that it has the latest drivers. I just put in a data disk that works in XP. After I let it spin a couple of minutes, I clicked to open the drive G. On the first try, Drive H opened. When I clicked on G again, the contents panel shows desktop.ini (found in C:Users|MeAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsBurnBurn)  as being ready to burn. How that file got there baffles me. I sure didn't put it there! Ejecting the disk avoided the need to do a hard reboot. Inserting another data disk has the same results. A commercial music disk is not recognized at all, and is ejected. Now what?

Dell XPS 400 DVD Drives Not Recognized
My system hadn't been updated in awhile...so I wiped it and put on clean install Win 7 r.c. 64bit from a DVD i burnt...At first I was able to load a few drivers onto the system from CD & DVD drives...The very first day I installed, I had to run some errands...I left the computer with some discs. inside and when I came back windows explorer did not recognize D + E drives...this is very strange to me b/c @ first they were recognized... I walked away came back and then they were gone...+ Win 7 booted off DVD! Dell Diagnostics sees them and all tests pass...I can see them in device manager but they have yellow exclamations. I saw that someone had this problem for Vista ...but the "auto fix" or "fix this for me" button from Microsoft doesnt work for me with my 64bit Win 7 r.c.

Sony DRU-840A DVD/CD Player Not Recognized
The Sony DRU-840A DVD/CD player is not recognized by Windows 7 RC Build 7100. It is recognized by Vista Ultimate on the same computer (Windows 7 is on a separate partition). It worked to allow me to install Windows 7 but not afterward. I checked with Sony's website and they say it is plug and play and Windows should have the drivers so they don't show any to download.

CD Drive Not Recognized After Reboot
I'm using a Dell laptop Studio XPS 1640. Ok, I was about to upgrade to Windows 7 and it listed a couple of programs that needed to be deleted, so I uninstalled them. The 2nd or 3rd time I was required to restart my computer, it froze at the "Shutting Down..." screen for about 20 minutes. I waited and waited and decided to power down. I turned it back on, and it didnt say Windows was not shut down properly, so i figured it was ok. However when I booted back up, I was going to eject and re-insert the upgrade CD. I hit eject, nothing happens. Hit eject again, nothing happens. I go to Computer to try and view the CD thats in my CD Drive....NOTHING SHOWS UP! MY CD drive is now UNRECOGNIZED by my computer! Now I cant complete the upgrade. Not to mention, the upgrade made me uninstall itunes and my virus protection, saying a new version will be installed automatically after the upgrade.

Mouse Freeze Up Or Is Not Recognized
I have been testing Windows 7 Beta with all of the updates on an Insperion 600m. Surprisingly it worked fine and ran Office 2007. Suddenly my mousepad pointer locked up. I shut the computer down and connected a wireless mouse with no correction to the problem. I shut down a second time and connected a wired mouse and restarted the computer again. Again the mouse was motionless. Beside three dead mice what could be the problem?

Sometimes Keyboard Not Recognized At Boot Up
When I boot up my system, my keyboard is not recognized sometimes. In the past it would not see my keyboard after being awaken from a sleep state, but that appears to have stopped. I have uninstalled both of my keyboard drivers (HID and PS 2) and switched keyboards! I had to rebot three or four times before it re-installed my PS2 keyboard driver. The PS2 driver is the 2006 32 bit Legacy driver that comes with windows 7. I am running Windows 7 64 bit business edition. I have a MSI X58 Premium Motherboard, I7 920 processor, ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics card, Enermax 500 watt power supply and two SATA hard drives (SSD 64 Gigs C: drive, Western digital 500 gb and a IDE DVD RW). I have tried several different Keyboards, with the same results. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Wifi Adapter Not Recognized
I have a problem with Windows 7 Release Candidate (beta rev7100). I have a Linksys Wireless-B (WUSB11V4) network adapter that I use to connect to my wifi router. It works fine under my Windows XP. However, as I installed Win7 beta, I didn't find any way to make it work. Tried to find a driver, but it does not seems to exist for Win7. Tried to install the driver I got with it, but it doesn't seem to work as it's for Windows XP. Tried to make Win7 recognize it by its own ways, but failed. The adapter's a 802.11b. Is that too old for Windows 7? By the way, when I try to plug it out, I hear a sound and when I plug it in again, I hear another one, but it does not seem to be the "hardware recognized" sound. Can anyone help or send a driver for windows 7?

None Of USB Connections Are Recognized
I have just installed Windows 7 32 bit and now none of my USB connections are being recognised. my computer specs are: http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_9301AWSMi_Laptop_LX.AWP0X.008/version.asp Before I installed Windows 7 everything worked fine on XP. I have 3 Maxtor Onetouch 4 external hard drives, a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Even my iphone isnt being found when i plug it in. I get no response from windows when I plug the USB's in. I can hear the external hard drives powering up so it isn't a power issue and I have swapped all of the USB connection leads about and it doesn't make any difference. I've tried all of my hard drives on my friends computer and they all work fine. Ive looked through the forums for answers but cannot seem to find any that work. I have been to the disk manager and device manager and they cant find the USB connections. Ive also been to the Maxtor/Seagate website and non of their walk through seem to work or be applicable to this scenario. Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated as I'm a student and really need to access these external hard drives along with my i-Phone etc (preferably on my own PC).

SATA Drive Not Recognized
I attempted to install win 7 RC to my secondary drive.,which is SATA. After loading the drivers from FLOPPY, i was able to install the files onto the drive. After 1st reboot, the machine went into an endless look rebooting. I am assuming that after that reboot, it lost the drivers for the sata drive. my primary drive is IDE. The only way I got to install 7 was empty a partition on my ide drive. This OS does not look ready for prime time, not even a little.

Maxtor One Touch Not Recognized
Maxtor Onetouch II external drive. The drive works perfectly w/Window XP, but is not recognized at all by Windows 7 64 bit. It does show up in the Device Manager and in Disk Management, but I can't initialize it. At first gave me an error message when tried to initialize, now it's turned grey and I can't even try to perform the action. Tried powering the drive, shutting down and restarting, etc. I do get a chime when I connect the USB. Works fine w/XP, so I'm sure the problem is not the drive itself.

SDHC Card Not Recognized
We just bought an 8GB SDHC Transcend micro SD card from amazon. I did not realize there were probs. I put it directly into my tower in the card slot and nothing pops up. If I put my regular old 2GB micro SD in the slot, it immediately pops up, but not the SDHC card. Is there a fix for this? Something I can download to make it recognized or did I waste my money and get a piece of junk? Please help. This was actually my son's money; he wanted this, and I did not realize there was an issue with these until I googled the prob and had tons of people's complaints pop up.
