Windows 7 Drive Problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

Synbios:
Even though its dual core, it's still a pentium which is pretty old these days.

Regardless if it had vista pre-installed, the drivers from the Lenovo website should have worked fine as Vista and 7 drivers are 100% compatible. Have you tried a Windows Update? Sometimes that detects and updates some of the hardware.

I have never had any problems with 7 not detecting hardware on computers designed for Vista.

It is quite a common problem, you only have to google it and a thousand pages come up, all with the same thing. There are apparent fixes out there but they dont work in all cases, mines being one of them.
But thanks for your help anyway :-)

howdy..  peaceful,   what brand/model of DVD drive is it?   also, in your BIOS, are you configuring your storage drives as SATA, IDE, or AHCI ?   and.. in your Device Manager, do you have *any* yellow question mark devices?

also, can you export these registry paths and attach them here so i can look at them?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\cdrom


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

um it can be that windows seven don't support that cd/dvd drive i know i have a hp pavilion dv9027us and if i put windows 7 on it i can't use my hdmi port so i went back to vista


have you try an external cd/dvd driver? or switch out the cd/dvd driver

Hi Chip I hope I have done this right.
