my DVD drivers have quit working.
I have 2 built in CD/DVD drives and an external DVD drive and for some
reason all of a sudden, my computer won't recognize them. When I try to copy or move a file to them (even though they are listed on the left in Windows Explorer), they all 3 come up with a message: "Please insert a disk into Drive X/Y/Z". Also, if I use my burning software (Clone DVD or any other), the program will read the original disk, but when it comes time to write it, I get the same "Please insert a disk into drive X/Y/Z" I think it's odd that it has happened all at once to all 3 drives. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance ... Michael |

Thank you in advance ... Michael If the ROMs are using IDE ribbon cables, lift out & put back each end of the ribbon plugs. This re-seats the cables. That failing, search for drivers at links below. Good luck. http://download.cnet.com/Hitachi-DVD...0_4-13173.html http://www.driversdown.com/driverslist/r_8_1.shtml http://www.toshiba.com/taissdd/support/drivers.shtml http://support.necam.com/optical/downloads/ http://www.driverfiles.net/DVD-Drive...vel1,ID25.html |

Good luck.http://download.cnet.com/Hitachi-DVD...vel1,ID25.html How many external drives have you seen using an IDE connection to the motherboard, Sandy? You say that your computer does not recognize the drives, and you then say that the drives show up on the left side of Explorer and that you can read from them. Which is it? Have you scanned for viruses/malware? Have you tried booting to Last Known Good Configuration? Have you tried doing a system restore? Have you tried reinstalling your burning software? |
