Hi,

When this happens, quite often the drive structure gets damaged. This type of logical damage is sometimes easy to resolve, if it's worse then you may need the help of a pro but you will have reasonably good chances of getting your data back.

For the simple fix, open My Computer and check if the drive letter is still there, if not you will need a pro, reply back with your Country, State and City and I'll put you in touch with a pro. If it is there, there is a good chance you can perform a simple repair. Assuming it is, Right-Click the drive letter, then select properties. When the properties sheet opens select the Tools tab, then click Error Checking, a small window will pop open, be sure both boxes are checked then run the checking utility.

If you got that far you have about an 80% chance of repairing the drive yourself. If it fails, as with above, reply back and I will get you in touch with a nearby pro.


Hope this helps FixYa,


Chris

Unit on standby mode only, the dvd rack didnt open when open button was pressed.
Turn off and unplug at mains Plug back in and turn on press standby button so power light come son. If pressing open button on player (rather than remote) doesn't work it may be a disk that is not sitting properly in the tray. You could try sliding a very thin blade (preferably something with an insulated handle!) gently in the top of the tray to press the disk downwards whilst gently prising under front edge of the tray with a small screwdriver. If you can manage to press the open button at the same time as doing both these things it may help.
If that fails to solve the problem it may be a broken drive belt or worn cogs in the tray operating mechanism. DVD players are so cheap these days that repair is seldom worth the expense.

How to parition the harddrive for windows
If You Have Problems Creating a Partition If you have problems creating a Windows partition, check the following: * The disk must be a single partition, formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If the disk already has more than one partition, you must repartition it. * The disk must be an internal disk. You cannot use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows on an external disk. * If a dialog appears saying "The disk cannot be partitioned because verification failed," try repairing the disk using Disk Utility and opening Boot Camp Assistant again. If that doesn't work, back up all the information on your computer, start up from your Mac OS X installation disc, and erase the disk using Disk Utility. Restore the information to your computer from the backup and try opening Boot Camp Assistant again.

Stuck a disk in Wii while 1 game inside already
the issue probably requires a new part ordered might i make a suggestion trying

REPLACEMENT DVD-ROM DRIVE

http://www.gaminggenerations.com/store/replacement-drive-p-2020.html

The part will cost you about 50 bucks but as this is a diy service this will be your best bet at fixing the problem, if the warranty is expired go for it.

we are here if you need our help. and if you need more expert assistance please try the paid version of fixya. if this is not informative enough. 3 bucks usually is all it takes to get a very accurate diagram as well as detailed instructions and assistance. good luck with the wii and thanks for using the fixya service.

GoVideo VR3845
I had the same problem "unknown disk, please check disk". Tried the reset method described in the owner's manual (power off, unplug and wait 5 seconds). This did not work.

I then put the unit into the setup mode (press set-up on the remote.) I selected "Factory Settings" under the general category and then chose "Set". These reset the unit and it seems to be working okay now. Hope this helps.
