Regional code HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N I have this drive in an HP/Compaq pc nx 6310 Windows xp would like to de-regional code it can I? Is 'anydvd' software safe to use for this purpose?

backup whatever information you have and run the system recovery through the disks you received when you purchased the computer. If you can perform the recovery then you know the hardware is fine and that you were experiencing software corruption.

Hi,

Yes, the DVDRAM will write to both CD's and DVD's. It supports single and dual layered DVD's.



Regards.

First go into Setup (usually F1,F2 or del) at start-up. See if your drives show up there. With Windows running, right click My Computer, left click Properties, left click Hardware, left click Device Manager, left click DVD/CD-ROM drives. Also check IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Do the drives show up there? If they do right click on drive and left click Update Driver. If they are not there go back to System Properties and left click on Add Hardware Wizard. This will search for devices. It may ask you to insert Windows CD which of course you can not do because the drives don't work. Try a different drive. When you cleaned out your computer did you delete or uninstall Office? That may be what caused this problem. None of this may work but it is a starting point.

this is due to the fault of the device you should replace it

check whether the device is detecting properly on bios or not

Go back to the device in device manager, right click on it and select properties, then under the driver tab click on "Roll back driver" button and see if that does the trick.

sounds like your cd/dvd is mechanically shot. time for a new one.

goto program defaults/media player/disc insertion= and choose the options you require. Or goto computer-cd/dvd drive and choose the program you wish to run the disc
