Hello sir my name is Aleksandar and I'm on your service today! :)


What operative system you use? With Windows XP or above those system drivers are already patching your CD/DVD drive so its not surely about drivers. It could be about connection, I higly suggest you visit Laptop service, or if your laptop is still under warranty, use it to claim fix. This is common problem with drives so You dont need to be worried. :)

I hope I showed you the propper way. Please rate my solution, that would be kind from you :)

Wish you best of luck and nice day Sir! Alex

You probably need a new CD or DVD drive. Search eBay for your model # and DVD drive. They are fairly cheap and easy to replace. Almost any drive will work from other laptops, you may just have to transfer the bracket and connector from your old one (you just need a small screwdriver). Good luck!

My computer cannot detect my web cam

Have you tried installing the proper driver for your webcam? You might have got a cd along with it when you brought it. Insert this cd into your pc and connect the webcam. If its not detecting the webcam, just restart your system without removing the webcam. If detection still does not occur, check the connection and make sure you have connected it right. after the found new hardware, click it and select automatically search for drivers,which will search the driver in your system and will be installed from the cd. I hope this fixes your problem.

SAMSUNG CD-ROM SH 152>> Detection Error

Dear Sheila

After connecting it to the motherboard, switch on the pc, then go to properties of "my computer" then choose "Hardware" then choose device manager and over here u will come to know weather ur CD rom has been detected or not, if it has a question mark then it means u have to install drivers for it, but if ur using Win XP, i am sure it shd detect automatically and need not ask for drivers. Hoping a good rating from u....!!!

Thankyou

Cd rom

Where can I get the driver for my CD-ROM?
Visit our hardware download section to obtain a generic CD-ROM driver (oakcdrom.sys) and mscdex.exe if needed.
If you are looking for a specific driver for your CD-ROM drive or a Firmware update, please see our CD-ROM driver page.

Dont for get to Vote / Merry Christmas.......Good Luck!

Iriver T10

Somehow the driver went missing. Click on "My Computer" and then click "view system information," then "hardware," then "device manager," then click on iRiver (it'll be there even without the driver) and then it will give you a yes/no option to look for driver software. Obviously, click "yes" but notice that you are also cued to put in a CD "if you have one." I still had the CD. It will search both the CD and online for a driver, but the computer found the driver software on the CD. Make sure you only put the CD in when cued to do so. If you don't have the CD, then contact iRiver about getting a driver download or having them send you a copy of the CD.
