BIOS does not detect the CD/DVD on Satellite A205-S4639 device

Hello!

My laptop Toshiba works not very well, he has the following problem:

When I enter the BIOS program (by pressing F2) main 'BIOS hand', the CD/DVD device does not appear in the module.
Click on the link of the image: [main BIOS | http://softvaina.googlepages.com/BIOS.Main.jpg]

Then, I go to the BIOS boot module and the CD/DVD device appears in the list of boot devices, che the image link: [BIOS Boot | http://softvaina.googlepages.com/BIOS.Boot.jpg |] BIOS Boot]

Finally, I try to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM and it works (check this box [Image | http://softvaina.googlepages.com/BootMenu.jpg |]) Boot menu]).

In the environment of OS (Ubuntu and Windows XP), the CD/DVD device does not appear, and it does not work.
The laptop features:

Make/model: TOSHIBA Satellite A205-S4639
T.O.D.: 160 + 120 GB
RAM: 3 GB DDR2
Video: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300
Optical drive: PIONEER DVD - RW DVR-K17LF

Note: I've updated the BIOS, but the problem persists.

What is going on?

> Then, I go to the BIOS start module and the CD/DVD device appears in the boot device list, click the link of the image: BIOS Boot
It is a boot menu and it always seems to know whether or not the CD/DVD or HARD disk drive has been inserted!

In my opinion, your CD/DVD drive is faulty or there is no link with the portable CD/DVD player.

A mobile technician must verify and if necessary should replace

  • Equium A80 - BIOS does not detect new CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I had to change a DVD player in my laptop Equium A80 earlier and now have problems using the restore DVD to my laptop to factory settings. I updated the BIOS with the latest version available, but the BIOS is still not able to see the DVD player, so does not start a restore. The DVD is fine once Windows has loaded and works very well on another PC under BIOS. I tried another DVD drive on the laptop, but he is unable to see anyone.

    Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

    Thank you!

    Hi mate,

    First of all the CD/DVD drive must be recognized in the BIOS that you can boot from the CD/DVD drive. Otherwise it of not possible to boot from the Toshiba recovery disc.

    What is the type of the old/new CD/DVD drive?

    The user manual contains a list of compatible drives. It appears here? The fact is that not all drives are compatible with all laptops.

  • BIOS Inspiron 2305 does not detect the drive in ahci mode

    The hard drive in my Inspiron one 2305 crushed and I tried to install a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda drive.

    The Bios does not detect the drive. I noticed that the SATA in the BIOS mode option has been put on AHCI. I changed the ATA mode and the BIOS has detected the drive.

    However when I try to install a clean version of Windows 7 (Dell OEM disc), to halfway to the installation Setup will fail. I noticed that the reason why it will fail, is that the installation process now does not see the hard drive.

    Can someone tell me what steps to take to do the installation?

  • Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

    My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
    I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

    At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
    This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

    I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

    The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
    The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
    Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Thank you, Stu.

    Hello

    What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

    You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

    But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

  • Satego x 200-BIOS does not detect SSD but windows 7 for OS usage

    need help here, I got the latest bios 2.50 and my bios does not detect the SSD but an I start windows 7 from my hard drive it is detected and I want to use the ssd as boot drive, please help

    Hello

    Which SSD drive you have exactly?
    I also think it s a compatibility problem between the HARD disk controller (motherboard) and the current SSD drive.

    So you should check if you have the latest firmware of the SSD drive and if it of possible, try another disc SSD of a friend, for example.

    By the way: have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS?

    Go to the store and buy an optical drive. They are very expensive. No, you cannot use the optical drive of your laptop. You can possibly create a bootable USB key with a distribution of Linux on it and copy the correct boot hard disk files. I say "may" because not all older computers can boot from a USB device. Look in your BIOS to see if your computer has this capability. If he can:

    If you have not backed up your data, then you have trouble. While you're at the store also buy an external hard drive. You can start the computer with a Linux Live CD (in your new optical drive), and copy the files on the external hard drive. Then you can continue to try to repair your computer.

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Does not detect the hdmi cable more (very specific scenario)

    Well then...

    Got a monitor 15-HD to hdmi cable and a mac laptop (13 in the retina).

    So when I got all that I put it all together and it worked. I left because there a little bit, everything is plugged in and did not return for some time, so my mac fell asleep at the time wherever I went. Disconnected everything to relax on the couch. I went back and all plugged together again except that now the mac does not detect the cable. Tried a bunch of things with it. Restart, unplug the unit, detection manually, etc...

    Since the monitor is used and recently purchased cable, I thought time to them to test first. Got a laptop PC and plugged into the cable. The monitor and cable worked.

    Tried to connect my mac to the TV with my ps4′s hdmi since I did that a lot before. Also works.

    The problem is literally the combination between the cable and the mac. Which is a problem since I got the reason was to serve as my mac.

    During my research, I saw that specifically leaving the connected hdmi where sleeps your laptop can spoil it supposed to be... I saw it one time so idk if it's true, but it happened to me... and no, it wasn't really a solution when I came across that. Tried Googling this specific problem, but did not meet anything since my problem seems so specific.

    Fast forward to the next day and tried again now that both had little respite between them. Plugged into the HDMI and my laptop starts fading and return to a black screen. The screen would go black usually and so the laptop screen and the monitor would appear once again. sauf_que this time that there not, he just kept it and the monitor has not changed (Yes) it's). Not wanting to let him do that too long I unplugged and tried a different port with an adapter, I have also, since I did 3 holes I could use this for might as well try them all again. But unfortunately, I don't have it trigger anything again. So I went through another round of troubleshooting to try to make it work, but here I am, trying to see if anyone else has had this problem and solved. I am back to wait another day I guess and just hope. If not idk what to do, except maybe to get another cable? I don't know if this would solve it well.
