Can't erase my dvd rw more.

eraseing my dvd rw drive.

Hello, Richard Hudson,.

Thank you for your message.  To clarify, you try to clear the same CD?  If Yes, a DVD/CD does not really clear, it's just the unreadable CD.  Data that has been repries on the disc are always repeated, just add to it when you delete and add others.  Please let us know if it helped to solve your problem.
See you soon

    Hello SuperComicCollecter 101,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    You can't even download new menus/styles; You can then bring yourself with the SDK pack that you can download from the official website of Microsoft. It would be a bit complicated, but if you are good at programming you can use this SDK package. There are many online tutorials that will help you.

    Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker SDK:

    After downloading this file, I suggest to install in compatibility mode, to do this, please follow the steps below

    Right click on the downloaded file > properties > click on the Compatibility tab > under compatibility mode > check the box run this program in compatibility mode for and select windows 7 in the drop-down list in the menu drop down and then apply the settings.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  • How can I erase the Awesome bar?

    I followed the instructions provided by Mozilla.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    No matter what I do, if I type in the bar location... also called the address bar... also called the Awesome bar... should have been called the useless bar... old sites Web will show that I have not visited in more than a year.
    Even if I clear my history every day.
    Yes, I select AS my calendar.
    Yes, I click AND DOWNLOAD the HISTORY of NAVIGATION.
    Still, whenever I type anything in the bar of Useless, old sites Web is suggested.
    How can I erase this and never make it do this again?
    How can I get the guy who designed the bar pulled Useless?

    (On another note... why I have to provide a password of eight letters at least 1 number? If I want a weak password, MY risk. What do you care? Also, if every Web site requests a password of eight letters at least 1 number you are actually makes it easier to hack because I am limited on coming up with new personal passwords for me since I have to remember and you make it so complicated.)

  • When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?

    When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?

    Hello.

    I think this is a related issue of Windows, because it is the Manager to save the windows file that we are talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help with this one, I think. You expect to be able to delete entries simply by touching delete on your keyboard when they are concentrated (that is how it goes for the removal of the form entries specific autocomplete in Firefox), but I have not tried.

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

    Have just implemented a L300 and everything was going well until I decided to try a prerecorded DVD. All I get is a message that reads... Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible decoder is not installed on your computer. I do have it connected to the internet if that makes a difference.

    Can someone explain what it means all and what to do. All new at this game!

    Hello

    I think that you need to install a pack of codecs for Windows media player play DVD. I have good experiences with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Use Google to find, it contains the essential codecs for Windows Media Player.

    But let me give you a piece of advice: try to play DVDs with another room. I always use the VLC media player because it can play audio and video files more. In addition he s freeware and in my opinion more quickly as media player.
    Check it!

  • Satellite M40: Power calibration error - drive cannot burn DVD - RW more

    My drive is a carpet * an oem UJ - 831S. After a screw-up partitioning job, I had to format my HD and reinstall Windows XP... and then I can not burn DVD - RW more.

    Tried many programs such as Nero and a fireman, gives an error of calibration of power from the beginning.
    Burning CD - r and CD - RW no problem however, and I can read CDs and DVDs of movies very well.

    Google and searched for a month without success, tried to blow the laser lens, but there is no dust, I tried different media, etc. I know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincedence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

    An interesting note however, my laptop has not been provided with a CD of Toshiba, so I had to reinstall manually more drivers by downloading the Toshiba site, so I have a funny feeling, this could be a thing of the software/firmware, or even a framework.

    I installed the new firmware 1.02 for the reader as well. I don't remember what the firmware was before resettlement, IE the laptop computer settings to factory default, I'd like to downgrade to 1.00 if possible.

    Experts have ideas? And is there a way I can reset the firmware?

    Maybe I could remove the drive from the system-> devices and let XP Reinstall for me?

    Hello

    > I don't know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincidence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

    Of course, it s simply to say the drive is dead because everything looks like a hardware malfunction. Most often the power calibration error appears because of the drive lens can't calibrate in the right position and thus cannot read some CD or DVD s s or it of not possible to write about them.

    But maybe you are a lucky man and might try this procedure:
    -Try to remove the drive physically from the Bay for laptop
    -Restart the unit without the drive
    -In this case the operating system should start from the HARD drive
    -Close the notebook then reinsert the drive unit in the Bay of s for laptop
    During initialization, the laptop should recognize the drive and must pick up the firmware

    Then you can check if you can burn the DVD again, otherwise you will need a new drive

    How can I erase diving hard drive that windows will not open on

    "Wiping" a hard drive can not be done from Windows, if you are referring to the drive on which Windows is installed, so that Windows will not open is not a problem.

    You must use a utility that sits on its own bootable media.  Two of the most popular free tools are

    DBAN--> http://dban.org/download

    Active KillDisk--> http://www.killdisk.com/features.htm
