ASUS DRW-1814BLT Optical Drive Not Recognized While Installing
I currently have an ASUS DRW-1814BLT and when I try to install Windows 7, it ask me for drivers. As far as I know, it doesn't exist. I tried installing it from Windows, doesn't work. I tried from boot, doesn't work. Is it hidden somewhere on the DVD or how can I resolve this ? The drive can read, write and etc in Vista 64 without problem. E8400, P5K Deluxe, 2x2 ram.

Flash Drive Not Recognized When Trying To Boot Win7
I've created the ISO file and moved it to the 4g drive using the AWESOME guide found here. However, the BIOS doesn't seem to recognize that the device is present. I've done some research and found that some usb drives aren't compatible with the BIOS? I made usb storage the only available boot option and nothing showed up. However when I look at the drive while in Vista through my computer->G: It shows up as a windows system. I've also seen somewhere about enabling "Legacy usb"? I didn't find anything like that. Should I just got buy another flash drive and try again?

Kingston Data Traveler USB Flash Drive Not Recognized
I have Windows 7 64-bit running on Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R, Intel P55 chipset, 4 GB RAM. I have several USB ports, but on some of them, the USB flash drive (Kingston Data Traveler and Compact Flash external card reader) are not recognized, except for as stated below. The driver for the bad USB port is reported as up to date. My observations until now: 1) Memory set to 2 GB in Windows (as per instructions in the earlier thread about similar problem) caused BSOD and I had to reinstall the OS. 2) On some USB ports, the USB flash drive is recognized. 3) The keyboard works correctly on the same port, actually even the USB drive flashes one time before the error. 4) Maybe the most interesting part: I have two front USB ports and internal card reader connected to two internal dual USB "hubs" on the motherboard. When I unplug the card reader (from one hub), the USB flash drive plugged into the front USB port (and connected to the other hub) is suddenly recognized. What could be the reason and how to solve this problem? Is the mobo bad? Is the chipset "overloaded" when using both internal hubs? Is there a bug in Windows?

External Hard Drive (USB) Not Being Recognized As A Drive
I am having trouble with my external hard drive (USB) not being recognized as a drive. I have a Dell Dim 9200 which was running Vista. I upgraded to Windows 7 and now my external hard drive is not recognized. It is a Venus DB3 enclosure with a WD 500 GB HD. Under Devices and Printers "Cypress AT2LP (3.03.0000.2)" shows as unspecified. Everytime I turn the HD on/off the computer recognizes that it was turned on.

Optical Drive Problems
I recently installed windows 7 professional on my system and now my optical drive is acting weird. The drive will run CDs just fine (I can install and rip. haven't tested burning), but it will have nothing to do with DVDs. When I put a DVD in it, it doesn't do anything. After a while, if I go to my computer and double click on the disk drive, the optical drive will eject the disk and say "Please insert disk". I have looked in the device manager and it says the driver is working properly. I have tried looking into the "regedit" and the upper and lower filters aren't there. I have tried uninstalling the drivers and rebooting so that windows installs them (no luck). I have also tried starting with the driver signature enforcement disabled but nothing happens. My ODD is a (SATA) Samsung Sh-S223Q in case you wanted to know. One thing that i noticed that I thought was odd was that my device manager had 2 drivers for my Optical Drive. They are HCB JGPYF*X SCSI CdRom Device and TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223Q ATA Device. I have a virtual drive (daemon tools lite) installed but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.Â

Optical Drive Issues
It seems as though my two optical dvd-rom & dvd-ram drives are working only intermittently, since loading windows 7 64 ultimate from vista 64 ultimate. While there are many drivers that I have saved as downloads plus those that can be found online there are drivers that are only available via disk, so having the optical drives consistently function properly is of the utmost importance. Anyone with any suggestions are solutions please let us all know your thoughts.

USB Flash Drive / DVD Drive Problem
I recently ran into a very weird windows 7 bit problem after installing it on my desktop. I cannot copy large files/ holders into usb flash drive or write large files to cd/ dvd. The copying/ moving process would stay on for about 5-10 seconds then freezes then I get an error message. That is: H: refers to a location that is unavailable. it could be on a hard drive on this computer... I have all the latest drivers. And windows/ nero 9 can't use my dvd drive to burn files. Some info about my system: AMD X4 630 CPU. MSI KA780G (AMD 780G chipset) mobo. I have 2 sata hdds, non raid mode. The DVD drive is IDE. 4gb ram ddr2 ram. windows 7 64 bit.

Interesting Problem With Optical Drive
I've a problem with my optical drive. After finalizing the disk during burning when it is again inserted it is just throwing out the disk without reading the contents in it. But it is reading the disks which were previously written using the same optical drive.Those disks which are thrown out when inserted into another optical drive of another system it is reading them.

Thumbnails And Optical Drive Problem
I know how to disable thumbnails system wide and this is not what I want to do. The problem my system is having is when I place a disc such as an SVCD in the drive and want to copy one of the files. When I go into the folder with the videos, Windows tries to make thumbnails of all the files or at least it tries to gather information on them. The problem is that since it's an optical disc, there is only one laser, so there is a very long explorer.exe freeze while it tries to do so. I guess it is reading a little of each file at a time and trying for all of them at once. Is there a tweak or a setting I can change without affecting videos stored on the HDDs?

Optical Drive Disappears When Rebooting
Rebooting disappears the optical drive when attempting to view it by clicking on "Computer." It also disappears from "devices." However, shutting down and starting does not affect the system in any way. Hence, when I'm instructed to reboot, I now simply shut down and start rather than reboot. I haven't been able to find out the source of this problem. You should know that this is a desktop with a very small form factor; i.e., mini ITX with an Atom and the optical drive is a slim laptop optical drive with an adapter for use on a desktop setup.

LG Optical Drive Disappears From Device List
I have a HTPC with dual boot WinXP and Win7 RC7100. I have a problem with my optical drive in Win7, but the problem does not occur in WinXP. Problem Description: On booting up the system the optical drive works fine and appears in My Computer and the Device manager. At some point (usually within three minutes of bootup) the drive disappears from My Computer and the Device manager â it just vanishes⦠There are no errors or windows explaining why it happens, there are no errors shown in the event logs either around the time it occurs. Once the drive âdisappearsâ the tray cannot be opened by the button on the drive and it isnât redetected if you run the search for new devices gizmo. If you just leave it in that state, periodically the drive light flashes and there is a clicking noise. In the event logs it shows an error âdrive not readyâ. The error repeatedly appears sometimes every few seconds for a few minutes. It then stops and might not do it again for hours, or might start again in a few minutes. Whilst all this is going on, the drive still doesnât show in device manager and you cant eject the tray by the switch⦠I would suspect a faulty drive, but as I said above it works completely fine in WinXP. I have tried stripping the machine of any added software, which didnât take long as all I have is Kaspersky AV, PowerDVD and software for the LCD on my Antec case. The drive in question is an LG GGC-H20L (Sata CD/DVD Writter, Blu-Ray Reader). I have tried searching on the net for others with the same problem as me, but surprisingly mostly I found people saying their same model drive works fine on Win7. On the other hand the couple of people I did find with similar problems both stated that LG had refused to help them saying they wouldnât support Win7 until it was released. The closest thread to my problem I could find on here was this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprohardware/thread/1a40914b-d90d-4d0f-b228-942d8880218e At the moment I can only see a few options: 1. Buy another drive from a different manufacturer and hope for the best. 2. Wait for Win7 to be released and hope that LG fix the problem with a driver update. Any advice or ideas on how to solve this without resorting to the two options above would be much appreciated. Â

Explorer Optical Drive Default To Open Not Play
I'm running Windows 7 build 7077. I've messed around with all the autostart/autoplay settings I can find. But I can't find a way to change my optical drive default in Explorer from Play to Open(as in explore the folders not play the video.) It's just a nuisance to forget, double click, get the error(because I have WMP disabled in local security policy) then right click on the drive icon and click Open. Life would be easier if I could just double-click it!! Anyone know the secret?

Upgrade Problems From Vista, No Optical Drive Detected
I am having major problems upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista. I have an HP dv3 with Windows Vista 64-bit. I am using the HP upgrade disc with the upgrade option. I first ran into problems when the Windows 7 disc told me that some components would not be installed properly, namely that I needed to upgrade my keyboard filter driver. I did what I was told and when I tried to re-start the upgrade process the disc told me that I would need to re-start my computer. I did that and when it re-started, a message from HP popped up saying that my optical drive was no longer connected and that I needed to re-connect it in order for the upgrade to continue. So now my optical drive is not reading anything and I do not know what has happened or how to even fix it.

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.

SCSI Drive Not Recognized
I've got my system installation on a SCSI harddrive and wanted to do the same on windows 7, but when I tried to install via boot it didn't show the two NTFS partitions SCSI drive.I then tried to install it from windows XP x64 but when I get to choose the drive the C partition I prepared in advance needed an LSI driver. I've downloaded all the drivers I could find for it, but nothing worked.Do I need a special driver for Windows 7 ? if so where can I find it ?

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.

Can't Get NEW Hard Drive To Be Recognized
I have THREE Hard Drives. 1) XP. Old PATA hard drive 2) Windows 7 SATA 3) New Hard Drive (E; with program files, back up, images, music. Sorry, I had to edit this message as every time I went to type E colon, slash, it gave a smiley face. so the E; = E colon, slash to indicate E assigned hard drive letter, the new hard drive. When I boot to XP with the new hard drive (E; shows up fine. When I disconnect XP and boot to Windows 7, the new hard drive (E; shows that it installs fine (lower right in windows, shows that the OS see's it and says it installed fine), yet I cannot see it. The configuration that does not work is two (2) SATA drives, one with Windows 7, the other, the new hard drive. To be sure, I disconnected the Windows 7, connected XP (PATA) and booted again, sure enough, the new hard drive (E; is fine and shows up. I then disconnect and attach the Windows 7 hard drive with the new hard drive, (I even tried moving the SATA cable around) and Windows 7 boots fine, shows me that it installs the newly found hard drive (E; but does not show up on my computer. Now, here is what may, or may not be a bug. The new hard drive was formatted NTFS in WINDOWS XP, the drive letter assigned was E:, when I boot to Windows 7, I have a Virtual Clone Drive which also has the letter E: assigned to it. Could it be possible that Windows 7 does not know what to do since the Virtual Hard Drive was there first and therefore, doesn't show the new hard drive when running Windows 7? I have tried everything I can to get it to be seen in Win 7 to no avail. Again, it works fine in XP, but does not show up in Windows 7. Has anyone heard of this problem before? Do I need to rename, or assigned a different hard drive letter to E:? If so, how do I do that?

MSI CD-RW MS-8348 CD Drive Not Recognized
Built a new machine: Intel DG35EC MOBO, Intel E8400 CPU. Nothing fancy, no programs installed.The CD used to install Windows 7 64 Bit is not recognized. 1) Known good IDE Drive (it did the installation) 2) No programs installed 3) Recognized in the BIOS 4) Appears in device manager as MS-8348 ATA Device w/(Windows cannot load the device driver for the hardware) comment.So, how come? XP, Vista, Ubuntu recognized and used this drive. Why doesn't Windows 7 have drivers to use this plain Jane generic CD drive (MSI).Same problem with Ativa CD drive under the identical conditions.Otherwise ecstatic about Windows 7. However the very-soon date for release surely will crimp current PC sales.

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.
