View disk SD on your computer. How to run a disc on a laptop
Although increasingly, music, movies and programs are downloading today from the Internet, the discs still remain a popular way to disseminate information. In this article we will tell you how to view the disk on a computer or laptop and what is needed for this.
What are the discs
To begin with, it should be decided on what drive you have.
- Music and programs most often apply to CDs that accommodate up to 700 MB of data.
- Movies and operating systems are written on DVDs, the volume of which is an average of 4.7 GB, although there are also options for smaller or greater tank.
Typically, drives capable of reading CD can work with DVDs. - But to read the Blu-ray disks to which movies in high resolution, you need a special drive - the usual CD / DVD drive will not work with them.
There are, however, universal drives can read both Blu-ray, and CD / DVD, but if you have no newest computer or laptop, it is not a fact that it is installed that such a drive. Therefore, before buying a Blu-ray disc, make sure you have to look at it.
To view a disk on a laptop, in which there is no built-in drive, you can buy an external drive. And for the computer you can purchase and an embedded drive, just do not forget to enlist the help in its installation, if you do not know how to do it yourself.
Programs for viewing disks
To view the disk, you need not only drive, but also software. If you have a CD-disk with music, difficulties will not arise - you can play it through the built-in Windows Media player by selecting the "VCD or Sound CD" option in the File menu. You can use any other music player.
You can see the contents of the disk with programs or photographs through the conductor. But for the playback of discs with films you will need special programs. By default, Windows does not know how to play video-DVD - there are no necessary codecs in the system. To view these disks, you need to install in the additional component of Windows Media Center, and not free. But it is possible to save, using one of the free video players with video player feature - for example, VLC Player or SMPlayer.
It seems obvious, but not everyone. Many new laptop owners are not so easy to play DVDs on their new Acer laptops, as it seems. In connection with my work, I often ask this question. Here are some simple solutions so that you can run a DVD on the Acer laptop.
Instruction
- 1 Make sure your laptop has anyway to play DVDs. On a laptop, there should be an image of a familiar white emblem on the retractable lid DVD drive. If this image is not, you will only be available to play CDs.
- 2 If you detected the DVD emblem, press the button on your Acer "E to push the DVD-drive cover.
- 3 Place some DVD to face up and gently press on the lid so that it goes back, and then wait when the playback starts automatically or the menu will appear.
- 4 If the DVD playback does not start automatically (or when you see the selection menu), you will need to configure the autorun. In Microsoft Windows, click on the "Start" button -\u003e "Control Panel" -\u003e "Auto Tap" and select Automatic DVD playback.
- 5 If you have the Windows Vista Home Basic Edition operating system installed, Windows Media and Real Player may incorrectly play DVDs. You may want to download free player from download.com. Then you have to run the player each time manually.
- 6 Select which action should make the Windows operating system each time each time you run a DVD on the ACER laptop (in the drop-down menu). You will have to choose at least two media players or you can choose "not perform any actions" if you do not use the player through the pop-up menu.
- 7 Pull out the DVD and re-insert it into your Acer laptop. Now all your DVDs will be successfully running every time using the player you choose.
- 8 Find the control buttons at the bottom of the screen. These are standard DVD controls, such as a volume control or a pause button. You can click F11 for a full-screen viewing mode if the settings are arranged.
Very often, the computer lacks memory for storing all the accumulated information. With the filling of the hard disk there is a need to transfer data to other media. Flyers are expensive, but discs, in comparison, are a penny.
But then there may be problems, discs suddenly can stop read by your drive. This article will tell you about the possible causes of breakage and help solve the problem.
Why did the drive stop reading the discs?
There may be a lot of reasons for this, ranging from disc problems and ending with a complete failure of the drive. Nevertheless, all reasons can be distributed in two categories, hardware and software problems.
Hardware problems are associated with malfunctions in the equipment. This category includes the following problems:
- The cause can be the disc, its worniness is so strong that no drive can be read.
- The drive can stop perceiving discs and due to its pollution. For all the time, a large amount of dust accumulates inside the computer, which can get into the drive and settle on the read head.
- The completed connecting wires will also affect the device's performance.
These are the most common hardware problems, determine that from this led to a failure, you can only "surgically" by, that is, it is necessary to put in the system unit.
With the diagnosis of software problems much easier. If the problems appeared after installing any software, then we can talk about the incompatibility of the software.
Solutions of hardware disk reading problems.
Does your drive not read discs? Do not hurry to throw it away and run for buying a new one. To begin, check the disk status inserted into the drive if it is in a bad condition, then the reason can be concluded in a damaged disk, and not a drive. Remove the drive from the drive and inspect it for scratches and scuffs.
If everything is in order with the disk, then we are moving on. It is worth testing a drive on other disks of different types: CD, DVD and small minicd. For the test it is recommended to use the newest discs.
Do not forget about other hardware problems, open the cover of the system unit and thoroughly check the connection of the drive and the motherboard with connecting cables. If there is no obvious damage, try to connect the drive with other available loops. And for the prevention, make cleaning the drive from dust and dirt. You can do this with special disks.
There is another way to clean the reading head, but this option is for more experienced and confident users. This method provides for disassembling the actuator and clean the laser with water or high-quality gasoline. In no case do not use cologne laser and other alcohol-containing liquids, as well as acetone. Their use will lead to deplorable results.
Clean the drive, checked its performance on other disks and tried to force it to work with other loops, and he still refuses to read discs? Do not be mistaken. You can go to solve possible software problems, and more advanced actions are prepared.
Solutions of software reading problems.
In case of identifying that the problem is not listed in hardware reasons, remember what you did with your computer earlier, which was installed that they were changed and removed. Because you could accidentally delete or change the files needed to operate the drive.
To correct, you will need to reinstall the drivers of the device necessary for the normal and proper operation of the device in the system. The inconsistency of the drivers or the presence of errors can cause a disk failure to read discs.
In addition, you can deactivate the drive to the tools by the operating system and then re-connect. This is done in the properties of the system.
Window My computer
In the window that appears, you must click on the Device Manager item.
Window System Properties
The dispatcher finds out your drive and then removes.
Delete device
After deleting the device, it is necessary to restart the computer so that the system can again determine the drive and automatically set the appropriate software for it, that is, the drivers.
Often, the cause of incorrect operation of the drive becomes third-party software installed to emulate virtual drives. These programs include: Daemon-Tools, Alcohol 120%, etc. All these programs can cause the wrong work of your drive. If you have these programs on your computer, remove them alternately, and after each removal, test the drive.
To delete, you can use the CCleaner program, it not only removes the programs from the computer, but also cleans the system from unnecessary files and system records left after removing software. The process of cleaning system records is called the registry cleaner.
In practice, there were cases in which the solution to the problem was in flashing the device. But this action may result in complete drive failure. So before proceeding to these measures, it is strongly recommended to read the next item.
Solving the problem with the MICROSoftFixit program
Sometimes after another reinstalling the Windows operating system, the drive stops opening only DVD discs, while the CDs open up normally.
Similar does not mean that the drive "died", because before reinstallation it functioned properly. The most important thing is that this question is solved with the help of a free and efficient MicrosoftFixit.dvd.run program. You can download the program by reference:

And if it did not help, you can already think about buying a new drive. For greater understanding and optimal choice of a new drive, it is recommended to consult with experts.
Conclusion
After reading this article, you will have the opportunity to try to independently correct the problems in the operation of the drive alternately excluding the possible hardware reasons first, and then the software. Applying methods given in this article. It must be remembered that independent correction can end with bad results, therefore, it is still not necessary to neglect the help of qualified specialists.
Do not listen to those who say that DVDs have been taught. Let this method of storage of information have already been taught, they still enjoy a large number of users around the world. The problem is only that Microsoft has greatly complicated the life of the owners of large collections of films on DVDs with Windows 10 DVDs. In this operating system there is no built-in disk playback mechanism, so users have to look for workarounds of this restriction. You can still meet in stores a large number of modern computers with normal iron and DVD drive. In addition, commercially complete removable drives connected to a USB computer. This is a good way to add missing component to the system.
Optical disk. Beautiful.
Windows 10 allows you to read information from CD / DVD without any problems and just as easy to record information to "clean" (CR-R, DWD-R) or rewritable discs (CD-RW, DWD-RW). For example, you have a specific software that comes only on the disk. With the use of such carriers there will be no nuances. Another thing is when you use a commercial DVD with some film written on it. There are also users and encounter on crutches.
Windows 10 does not play DVD
The reason is quite obvious: money. Starting with Windows 8 Microsoft ceased to include MPEG-2 and Dolby Digital in its operating system. They are needed to play your favorite films on DVDs. Due to the exception of these two codecs, the Microsoft operating system saves OEM and partners a few dollars on each device. Not everyone needs support for DVD, but savings on this very significant on a large scale.
If you are faced with the fact that the computer on Windows 10 does not play a DVD disk, you need to return to the Special Software system, which includes the necessary codecs. Here users have several options.
How to enable a DVD on a computer with Windows 10
Yes, the use of old types of media on a modern operating system will require you some efforts even despite the glorious backward compatibility of Windows. Microsoft understands that there are still many people using DVDs, so they offer them a few alternatives.
How to Play DVDs on Windows 10 - Complete Software
Check the complete software that comes with your PC or external DVD drive. Usually these applications are very poor quality, but they can completely cope with the task assigned to them. You do not need to play on them or write code - this application should be able to correctly reproduce the disk inserted into the drive and that's all. Justice for the sake of mentioning that in this case much more important is the fact that you need not so much program, how much codecsincluded in its composition. Once the codecs are installed, you can use any DVD playback application, including old-kind Windows Media Player.
How to Play DVD on Windows 10 - VLC
This legendary player will provide you with all the necessary to play DVDs on Windows 10. Do not use the version from the Microsoft Store store, as it does not contain the necessary libraries and codecs to activate the function you need. Instead, go to the official website of the VLC and download the media player from there. After installing, Dolby Digital and MPEG-2 codec support will appear on your computer, which in turn will allow you to play not only DVD files, but also any file using MPEG-2.
Important: The Microsoft Store store has a special addition for Windows 10, which is called "Extension for MPEG-2 video". It is available for free, but its installation will not give You have the opportunity to reproduce DVDs in optical drives. Use it only if you need to play a separate file using MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 codecs. This is directly indicated in the expansion description:
If you have non-reproducible video files in formats such as MPEG, MPG, TS, M2TS, MKV and AVI, this extension may help reproduce them. Note: extension in itself does not make it possible to play DVDs in optical drives.
If you know other alternative applications for playing DVDs, boldly use them, whether they are paid or free. Only before installing, check whether they are compatible with Windows 10.
How to Play DVD on Windows 10 - Windows DVD Player
Another option that is not suitable for the overwhelming majority of users. You can use the Windows DVD Player application, which came out with Windows 10. It is available in the Microsoft Store store and after installation will allow you to easily play DVDs as in good kind times. The trick is only that this application is not free (ridiculous, given the fact that VLC is free, and on the Internet there are plenty of other freeware alternatives). For the right to use Windows DVD Player Microsoft, the hole in 999 rubles in your wallet. The reviews also argue that this application does not shine quality. Our advice to you: Do not use Windows DVD Player. If there is no way to attach 1000 rubles, it is better to sacrifice them to the development of the site.
As already mentioned above, the support for DVDs was fixed back in Windows 8, but Windows 8.1 Pro users could install Windows Media Center. This application was part of Windows 7, but it was removed in Windows 8. It is also necessary to remember that over a certain period of time, the keys for Windows Media Center distributed for free and with their help could even be activated by Windows 8.1, which is very funny.
Those who updated Windows 8.1 with Media Center were at their disposal. free A copy of Windows DVD Player (though many complained that after clean installation Windows 10 flew the license to this application). The rest has to pay for the use of this application. And yes, Windows Media Center does not work On Windows 10. It is theoretically can be installed on Windows 10, but this is already a separate story.
Eventually
Deleting DVD support from Windows 10 is a stick with two ends. On the one hand, manufacturers save on their devices, and on the other hand, users need to put up with inconvenience when there is a need to run a blank with the film. If you are in this position, do not rush to despair or pay Microsoft 999 rubles for the curve application. Five minutes spent on installing popular and free Media Player will fix all your inconveniences.
Laptop is a portable computer.
The laptop is the same computer as personal. And in it the same details, only smaller. Therefore, the laptops are more expensive.
The laptop can be compared with a mobile phone, and an ordinary personal computer - with a regular home phone.
To open the disc, floppy disk or flash drive on a laptop, you must first insert them.
Let's start with a floppy disk:
Look at the laptop:
If there is a special floppy drive on the laptop, that is, a diskette device, then you can open a floppy disk. But on most laptops, this drive is absent, as the floppy disks are considered outdated and unreliable.
You can learn more about floppy disks by reading the "Diskettes" article.
To insert a floppy disk, should be such a hole:
If there is no such hole on your computer, then the next paragraph can be skipped.
Insert the floppy disk on the arrow that is drawn on it, until it stops (until it clicks). After you insert a floppy disk, go to My Computer. It is either on the desktop, that is, on the screen, or it can be opened from the "Start" button:
Then double-click the mouse button on the icon.
"Disc 3.5" (a):
You will appear what is written in diskette (files and folders). To get a floppy disk from the computer, you need to close all the files and folders that you opened with a floppy disk. Then click on the small button below the hole in which the floppy disk. The diskette should spoil the laptop itself. Now about how to open a CD or DVD disc:
Either side, or in front of a laptop there is a device for disks. It is called a CD or DVD drive.
To open it, you need to click on a small rectangular button.
When you click on this button, it will give a click, and the drive slightly extends from the laptop. Carefully "help" to put forward until it stops. Then you need to literally "wear" a disc on it with a brilliant side down and "push" in a laptop to a familiar click. After you inserted the disk, wait the seconds 15: the disk can open it yourself (it happens with the disks that films and music are recorded). If this does not happen, open the "My Computer" icon. It is either on the desktop, that is, on the screen, or it can be opened from the "Start" button:
Then click two times the left mouse button on the "CD drive" icon (also can be called CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RW drive).
What is written on the disk.
And now learn to open flash drives on a laptop. Looks like a flash drive like this:
In order to open a flash drive on a laptop, you need to insert it into a special hole:
Several such holes you will find either side or back.
After you insert a USB flash drive into one of the holes, open "My Computer" (remind you, it is either in the "start" or on the desktop).
There should be a new icon. For example, such:
Usually this icon is called "Removable Disk". Click on it twice the left mouse button. You will appear what is written on the flash drive (files and folders).
Before you get a flash drive from a laptop, click on the special icon on the right below (next to the clock) once with the left mouse button.
The message "Safe Removing the USB Storage Device" appears. Click on it once the left mouse button. The message will be highlighted "The equipment can be deleted." Now you can get a flash drive from the computer.

How to see the dvd disk on a computer or laptop how to properly insert disk
For DVD reading there are many special players.
Among them: PowerDVD, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic.
To view the contents of the disk, you will need one of these programs.
The easiest way is to use the hip, which is used by many Windows users, Media Player Classic.
It is worth remembering that the standard player sometimes does not recognize digital signatures and codecs, so you have to use other players.
Run with PowerDVD
Unlike Media Player Classic, this program is paid. It can read multimedia of any format, from MPEG and MP3 to ASF and WMA.
Run with Windows Media Player
This program is in each Windows computer, which makes it very convenient to read the disks. Playing manipulations are exactly the same as for Media Player Classic, however, this player has a number of its features. 
The player does not lose files, because:
- DVD was recorded in another region. Mircosoft products have algorithms that do not give pirated records to run.
- Standard player conflicts with other players. In such cases, it is necessary to abandon the use of third-party software.
- The optical drive of the computer is damaged.
- File format is not compatible with the player.

How to download the download from the disk on hp
About the BIOS (Basic I / O) Each user remembers only when you need to reinstall the operating system from the disk. The key combination that calls the start menu with the necessary options, each laptop depends on the model of the motherboard of the laptop computer. When loading, the system gives a tip of a specific combination, for example, the HP laptops are the "ESC" button - "Press the Esc Key for Startup Menu".
One of the largest manufacturers of information technologies in the world of Hewlett-Packard took care not only about the trouble-free login in the starting menu to reinstall the download parameters, but also developed two options for changing the setting: without entering the BIOS and directly in the bios environment. Select the desired item can be selected in the start menu:
- "F-1" - system information,
- "F-2" - diagnostics of the system,
- "F-9" - changing download settings,
- "F-10" - BIOS,
- "F-11" - restoring the factory parameters of the laptop.
The "F-9" item allows you to change the download settings without using the BIOS menu. If this item is selected, the choice is provided between the CD / DVD disk and the HP Laptop Rigid Disk. Navigation is carried out using the cursor keys, that is, arrows up and down. The activation of the selected option is made by the "F-10" key, which confirms the changes in the settings and when the CD / DVD drive is inserted into the operating system drive, it starts to load it.
The "F-10" item opens to changes in the BIOS environment parameters. Navigation is also carried out by the cursor keyboard. At the top of the window, the name of the current section or subsection is displayed. To change the settings, you need a section "System Configuration". The "Boot Options" section of the "Boot Options" section that opens, which provides a list of possible data loading sources. If any value from this list is activated, then in front of it in quotes is the value "Enabled", if not, then "disabled". Accordingly, activate the "CD-ROM BOOT". Below the list of possible activations is the "BOOT ORDER" option, which you need to log in to change the order of boot seats. The default list heads the hard disk of the laptop, to change the list of the "F6" key, move the "CD / DVD ROM" up to the first position. To exit the main menu of the BIOS after the changes, the "ESC" key is used. To change the changes, you need to confirm them when leaving BIOS.
If in both cases, when changing parameters, the download is not made from the selected CD / DVD disk, then you need to make sure that the Multi-loading disc, in the absence of defects and disk damage. To create a multi-load disk with an operating system, such as Windows XP, you can use the Nero Express 6 program.
After restarting the HP laptop, the operating system boot will be made from the drive. After installing the system, you will need to once again go to the BIOS and return the boot settings from the hard disk.
