SOURCE: DVD ROM andDVD-RW

Will probably need more information to help you, but do the following. First, right-click your My Computer icon (I'm assuming that you're a windows user) and then click properties. Click on the tab that read "Hardware", and then click the button that says "Device Manager". A list will pop up- scroll down to the line that reads "DVD/CDROM Drives" and click on the plus sign to expand the list- make sure that your drive is listed. If not, right-click on the computer's name at the top of the list and click "scan for hardware changes", it may pop up in a scan. If THAT doesn't work, open your Control Panel and click on "Add Hardware". You will be asked if the hardware is already connected to your computer- we'll assume that's a yes for now. You may be prompted for a disk, or a driver file. If so, it couldn't hurt to go to the drive manufacturer's website and download appropriate drivers (I've never known Windows to NOT detect a drive out of the box, however). Download the file, install or unzip it (varies from file to file) and direct the Hardware wizard to the location of the installed files. If that doesn't work, you can attempt to locate the drive from a list of compatible windows hardware on the next screen. If it STILL doesn't work- Open the case, the procedure varies some from machine to machine, but you'll probably remove two thumb screws from the rear- then remove the side panel. There should be a flat cable attached to the back of your cd-rom drive, about 3 inches wide, and usually gray. One end should be attached to the drive and the other end should connect to your motherboard. If not, connect it- it only goes in one way, has a tooth to prevent screwups. Next, check that the drive is connected to the power supply; a small, one inch wide connector that terminates four wires should lead from your power supply (large box at top left, has huge pile of cables snaking out of it) to the drive. If not, grab a loose power connector (you should have at least one) and plug it into the drive. If all this checks out, make sure that the jumpers are set correctly on the drive. To do so, you'll most likely have to removethe drive from the machine- look around where all the conenctions are to see two small rows of pins (tiny, even) that have a small bracket arranged vertically between the rows- make sure that it is inserted under the label "M" (master) or "CS" (cable select) either should do. Put the drive back in the machine, hook up the flat (IDE) cable and the power cable, and power the machine on. Since it's rebooting now's a good time to check and see if the drive is detected by the BIOS (that screen of crap that whizzes by when you first start your computer). As the machine starts, it may say something like "Press Del to Enter Setup" or F1, or a bunch of other keys, varies from machine to machine. Press it, and you'll go to a screen that lists some of your hardware and computer specifications. Somewhere in there it should list your drive, again depends on the machine. If it doesn't... there may be several other things. I'd have to know what BIOS your machine uses to continue. If none of these things work out for you, there could be other solutions- try using a different IDE cable, use a different power cable, replace the drive (they're rather cheap these days, or borrow one for testing). I'd need more information to continue.

SOURCE: dvd cd rom not reading anything on my Dell computer

Having to use a paper clip instead of the eject button working could indicate a power source problem. Not reading anything on the drive could be either power source, connection cable or motherboard. I would start by removing the drive and checking all connections. You did not state if this is a laptop or desktop. If it is a desktop, there should be several unused power connections.If you do not have the ability to check the used connection, just switch to a different one.Also check the connection cable to the motherboard and if possible change or replace that. If all this fails, I would assume from a distance that the DVD drive is defective and try to replace it.

How to remove cd from mac pro computer

If holding down the eject button on the keyboard when restarting doesn't work, then the easiest way is to insert a business card of credit card into the CD-Slot. Slide it in until it 'pops' the CD up slightly, whic release it. You can then use tweezers or similar to pull the CD gently from the laptop.

How do i install the very small cd for my webcam 1H-3W00DB with only a large CD-ROM drive? is there free software anywhere on line i can inall instead? thank you. teri r.

Open the tray on your CD-ROM device.
Look closely -- this is a circular depression in the center of the tray,
which is _exactly_ designed to hold a mini-size CD-disk.

Or, if your computer is a "slot-loading" device, i.e., there is no slide-out tray, there is just a slot into which you insert the CD, like putting a coin into a parking-meter, then you need an alternate approach:
* find a friend with a CD-ROM device _with_ that tray.
* copy all the files from the CD-disk onto a USB memory-stick.
* move the memory-stick back to your computer.
* install from the files on the memory-stick.

Cd is jammed

What you can do is look for a paper clip and make it into a long pin by straightening it. Then insert it into a small pin hole which you can find on the CD Rom. Push the pin a little hard and you will find your CD Rom Tray opening up about an inch out. Now you can pull the cd tray out and take out your CD. Read more at www.fixpcfreeze.com

How to install a sound card

1. Locate na expansion slot in your computer that will accept your sound card.
2.Gently place the sound card on top of the slot. Line up the pins on the sound card with the slot and push the card down so that it sits in the slot. Be sure that the card is securely in the slot and pushed all the way in.
3.If your computer has an audio cable that connects the CD-ROM drive directly to the sound card, locate it and plug it in to the card. Consult the documentation that came with your sound card to determine the location of the CD-ROM audio connector on the card. This cable is rarely necessary with current audio hardware.MORE INFO.IN NEXT SLOT

A dvd is stuck in the drive. It resists all attempts at removal including the ''eject cd'' command in Open Firmware. Can I manually remove it?

The iMac (Slot loading) computer's disc eject mechanism is electrical instead of mechanical. To eject a CD-ROM disc at startup that contains system software, press the mouse button until the computer ejects the disc. If the disc does not contain system software, wait for the iMac to start up and drag the disc icon to the Trash.

If either of these steps fails to eject the disc, push the drive's manual eject button with a small, blunt object like a paper clip. This button is located to the right of the CD/DVD slot as shown in Figure 1. The computer must be turned on to eject a disc in this manner.


ht3007_1.gifFigure 1 Manual eject button

Once the disc is ejected, it extends just beyond its center hole so you can remove it from the drive. If the disc fails to eject, while holding in the paper clip, use another CD to gently push against the inserted CD. This gentle pressure may help to release the inserted CD.

Important: After ejecting the disc with the manual eject button, you must restart the iMac in order for the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive to work.
