    I have that exact problem, the strange thing is that if I put a booteable CD and start the laptop from it, it does boot correctly



    I already used the recovery partition to restore it to the factory values but it didn't appeared

    sounds like it's unseated - do you get any power to it at all? (i.e. can you open it when the computer is on? if so, if you put a CD in the drive and close the door does the light come on and can you hear the CD spinning?)

    u can just re seat the drive and check if it resolves there is just one screw beneath the notebook and pull the drive out and then re seat and check

    is this a recent occurrence? or has it never been detected?

Need help with Compaq Presario v2000 drivers

Your DVD drive is missing the Burning Program not the driver. I found an update for your windvd software for windows 7 but you probably have to have the full program installed to run the update. Hope this helps.

Presario V2000 WIDESCREEN, DVD drive not read or write DVDs

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the notebook in question doesn't have a DVD drive. After looking at driver for that model, it appears it's only a CD capable machine. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Look at the drive, are there any markings on it, i.e. a "DVD-ROM" or a "DVD" logo? How about a "CD-R" or CD-R/W" logo? If it does not have any type of DVD logo, then it's not DVD capable.

Is it really DVD? have you check the little label in the Drive? sometime it says CD Combo as a reader and writer only not DVD Combo.

If it say's DVD if you just bought it try and have it check from the retailer if theres a warranty

DVD drive not working for HP compaq presario v2000 notebook

You need to install all the drivers that cme with it and try going to the manufacturers website and getting any updated drivers.

You will also have to re-install all the software you used to have. Things such as windows updates, Decoders, DIVX codecs, Any burning software like Nero, Anti Virus and so on.

Once you have everything updated, then try it.

My dvd rom wont play dvd only cd's

DVD/CD players use two different lasers. One to read DVD and one to read CD. Sounds like your DVD laser burned out. Lasers last about as long as light bulbs do.
