SOURCE: Dell GX60 CD-ROM will not copy

Hi, this issue may occur if the firmware is not installed. Please Click on start>>> run >>> type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.

Look under DVD drive. You should find the name of the driver. Search for available firmware at support.dell.com by either entering the service tag of the computer or by product type. That should make it work.

If not, try in safe mode. If that too does not work, call Dell tech and mention the steps and ask for a replacement. YOu will get it in no time if system is under warranty

Sounds like your Cats eye or laser is out of adjustment. You might try ebay or some of your local computer shops. Your looking at a pretty old laptop you should beable to find parts up on the internet.
Good Luck

SOURCE: NOT DETECTING CD ROM

Hi,

Although the BIOS in this old machine has a boot from cd option, it is quite possible the DVDrom drive simply doesn't support the feature. Many P2 machines were like that. Chances are you will need a bootable DOS/WIN95/WIN98 floopy which will allow you to get it running with a CD driver.

Once you have this accomplished you can simply use the command prompt with cd support boot option and use the command prompt to load the installer on the CD. Once it finishes it's initial setup it will be able to use the cd drive for everything BUT booting.

Hope this Helps FixYa,

Chris

SOURCE: Dell 8100 Dimension will not find the Hard Drive or CD Rom

If the drives share the same IDE cable, try to replace the cable and make certain it is seated properly on the motherboard. Check for bent pins on either drive and on the motherboard IDE connector. Sometimes pins (especially near either end of the 2 rows of 20 pins) will bend under if they are not lined up with the IDE cable. Also check that nothing changed on the Jumper positions on the drives. They should be set to Master if both drives are single and Master (hard drive) and Slave (CDROM) if they share the same cable.

I need driver for cd rewriter/DVD-ROM Drive LG model:GCC-H23N.
Unless you are running a very old version of windows, your CD-ROM should be automatically detected and drive installed upon startup. Check your BIOS settings and make sure there are no conflicts there.

Cd rom and cd/dvd drive won't work. I inserted MS Flight Sim x and nothing happens. I have also tried to run the d: drive, but nothing happens.
Check the the connection cables to the CD/DVD drive inside the computer (make sure they are seated). Enter the BIOS using the DEL or F1 key at startup and make sure the CD/DVD drive is detected. If not, try replacing ribbon or sata cable going to drive.

I have an Epson Stylus Photo R200. When I hooked
Here is what I found on the Epson Web Site. You can download your manual there. If you find this information helpful, please rate me.

http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=29081&infoType=Overview

Need to go to the website of the company of your printer, and if your printer is only a couple of years old or newer the website will have the software "drivers" for you to download that your printer model's installation CD-ROM originally came with. This is necessary for your computer to recognize what kind of printer you're plugging in to it.

The printer's installation CD-ROM had the exact same drivers that you will be downloading so it will be like if you’re getting the installation CD-ROM again but only via the internet instead of having an actual CD-ROM so don't worry about it.

Some generations of people are terrified of using the internet for no other reason then FEAR of the unknown and that is not my problem. Just be brave.
If you find this information helpful, pls rate me.
Thanks and Good luck. .

CD html presentation-hyperlinks don't work with other pc's
To create an Autorun-enabled CD-ROM, proceed as follows:
  • Create an Autorun.inf File
    Autorun.inf is a text file that is located in the root folder of your application CD-ROM. It provides to the computer the name and the location of the startup program for your application that is installed when the CD-ROM is inserted. The Autorun.inf file can also contain optional information including the following:
  • The name of a file that contains an icon that represents your application's CD-ROM drive. This icon appears in Windows Explorer instead of the standard drive icon.
  • Additional commands for the shortcut menu that appears when the user right-clicks the CD-ROM icon. You can also specify the default command that runs when the user double-clicks the icon. Autorun.inf files are similar to .ini files.
  • The [autorun] section contains the default Autorun commands. All Autorun.inf files must have an [autorun] section.
  • icon: Specifies the path and the file name of an application-specific icon for the CD-ROM drive.
  • open: Specifies the path and the file name of the startup application.

Autorun.infThe following is an example of a simple Autorun.inf file. It specifies Filename.exe as the startup application. The second icon represents the CD-ROM drive instead of the standard drive icon.
[autorun]
open=Filename.exe
icon=Filename.ico
