Cannot read CDs and DVDs on satellite C660

Hello

I bought my PC laptop Toshiba Satellite C660 in December 2010.

I was not able to play any CD or DVD.

I checked on the properties of Media Player and found that the driver had been disabled.

I know not how get the laptop to read CDs and DVDs, does anyone know how or why this happened? Is - this rare?

Thank you

Natsophia

I do understand that with the driver disabled.
Optical drive is listed in Windows Explorer?

If you can't find it listed in the Device Manager and if it is in the unknown device list try this please:

It is described as a Vista but there the same should be under Win7. Please try it and send feedback.

  • Windows media player cannot read CDs and DVDs

    MS supports says my Player DVD is dead and needs a new drive. So, I just install a new ROM DVD and still have the same problem - cannot read CDs and DVDs.

    When I play the CD, I always get the error meessage--(lecteur Windows media a rencontré une erreur lors de la lecture de lecteur de CD en mode numérique...). 'Digital' is selected under the tool-> properties-> device.

    When I play DVD, it is frozen my laptop or keep spinning and froze the Windows Explorer and the reader.

    I was able to read DVDs and CDs once after a few restart. During playback of CD the WMP abruptly stopped with error message and since that time cannot play CD DVD & more.

    So far, I did a few fixs that I found online and nothing wroks:

    * No upperfilter or UpperFilter registry

    * Uninstall and let the laptop automatically reinstall the driver

    * Ms. Fix it gives different results every time I run the fix-(1) detects no problem and therefore no patches have been applied (2) the main media in the CD drive is not readable (same CD has played correctly when using external USB DVD rom)

    Can someone help and let me know what that could be the problem and how to fix it! Thank you!

    Hi Amy,

    You can read the following article to clear the Windows Media Player database and check if it helps.

    You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

    If you have any third-party media player installed on the system, then check if the DVD player works with it.

  • Satellite A50 543 reads CDs and DVDs sporadically

    I have a problem with my DVD-ROM in my laptop. It only reads CD and DVD sporadically. But most of the time that I dwell in a DVD and it try the bed. But after a few seconds it stops and the DVD - ROM led lights constantly.

    My question is, can I get a new DVD-ROM? Or I have to send it back to Toshiba?

    Sorry, my English is not the best ;)

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a disk failure. After repeatedly the lens can not calibrate properly and so sometimes s not possible to read, burn with different media.
    You should know that internal portable players using different parameters like master/slave or c - salt. These parameters is not editable as on drives for desktop PC.
    Therefore, it is very important that you will use and bye a compatible.

    If you want to know which drive will work on your laptop, so I recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for details.

    Hello
    I just bought a Satellite A100-788 and can not read the CD and DVD RW (DVD I tried is a Sony) with the CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S.

    I have downloaded the driver (v 5.0.2.5) on the Toshiba site, and tried to install it but it did not work (result is ok, but it's the previous version when I look at the properties: Microsoft 5.1.2535.0, 07/01/2001). Installation of this driver will fix my problem, or, as I read on the forums, I'm going to nead to install a new firmware version?

    Anyone know what to do exactly?
    Thank you
    Stéphane

    Have you tested different brands of CD and DVD?
    As you may know the discs don't support all types of CD or DVD.
    In my manual, I found a hint of support of the CD and the DVD.
    This media must be tested and are compatible.

  • Satellite L30-113 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    I have a Satellite L30-113. Recently my driver failed for my dvd player, until I was able to install a few things and burn CDs and DVDs. Now, I can't record CDs or DVDs.

    Nero and CDBurnerXP for CD/DVD ROM say 'cannot continue burning process as you did not choose the device for recording. CD/DVD ROM propities shows that it does not support recording CDs and DVDs.

    I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again. I am a driver update search and xp tells me that the driver is up-to-date. I checked the Toshiba updates with none of these updates for CD/DVD ROM.
    I have no idea on how to fix this unit "corrupted".

    Hi mate,

    I had a similar problem on my Toshiba laptop. So here, I searched a little bin forum and I founded to delete upper and lower filters in the registry. I followed the instructions in this Microsoft article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    After that, I again was able to burn DVDs.

    In addition, updated driver from CD/DVD isn't necessary because this driver is part of the operating system.

  • Satellite M70-173 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    Hello

    I have an old but expensive laptop (Satellite M70-173). The CD/DVD drive is a carpet * a UJ - 841 s and can currently only read DVDs and CDs
    I have Nero installed 8.3.7.1, but it does not allow me to burn any DVD or CD
    I have all the updates that are installed for Nero, have also removed the "upper and lower limits" in the registry.

    It is not a mark of DVD or CD that I have not yet tried, but they all are coasters.

    I have the following options:

    1. try to set the drive - either with the technical assistance of the forum or replace the disk, so I decided that it is a hardware error

    2 buy a new laptop - but also like some advise on how to "clone" of the current notebook that I have so many other programs installed that I bought over the years and do not want to lose.

    I made copies pdf of burning errors I can post if necessary.

    Any help is welcome

    Kind regards
    Juan

    Hello!

    > I made copies pdf errors burning I can post if necessary.
    Yes, I think it's a good idea. ;)
    Otherwise it of a bit difficult to help you.

    But what CDs and DVDs you tried to burn? I have good experiences with Verbatim and TDK. Check it!
    And you should burn on a lower speed for CD e. g. 16 x.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L30: reader will not read CDs or DVDs

    In the evening, I was recently testing on various operating systems on my laptop and eventually decided to return to Windows Pro.
    It was working fine until a couple of days, but then the hard drive started making a rattling noise, like R/RW head stuck.

    Now it will not read CDs or DVDs, can someone please help and tell me if it's a failure of the software or hardware, and the best way to fix it?

    Hello

    The drive problems are not uncommon and may still occur.
    For the most part the purpose of calibration training does not work correctly.
    The objective must be calibrated in the correct position until the player will read or write to the media.
    This fault is not reperable and especially the drive needs to be replaced!

  • Satellite A40-231: cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    Hello

    I can play CDs without problem, but I can't write them and DVD. I tried with Windows XP default recorder (by Roxio as he said), Nero and Infra Recorder but still had the same problem. Combustion process begins and finishes without errors with all of this software, but when I check the contents of the CD later, I see that nothing is written there, the CD is just considered as empty, or sometimes seen with 0 MB of available space, 0 MB total space.

    I tried with the CD - r, CD - RW and the DVD but I got the same problem. I have 2 389 MB free in my disk space hard as he is seen by Nero for the ability of the temporary folder that it uses.

    My DVD-R /-RW is recognized by Windows XP without problem and also, I installed the latest firmware from the site Web of Toshiba.

    Here are my specifications:

    Toshiba Satellite A40-231
    Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW DRIVE Firmware Version: 1333 (latest news on the site Web of Toshiba Driver)
    System dual boot: Windows XP SP2 and Linux Debian Sarge

    Hello

    In the manual of Toshiba, you compatible o is a list and supported the CDs and DVDs.
    You must use these mediums as they are tested and should work correctly.

    Another tip:
    Go to start > run > and start recording with a command regedit

    Delete values
    upperFilter and UpperFilter of this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    There do not seem to read empty discs.
    Some regular she reads, but will not start and some, it will not
    not even start.

    Hello

    Sounds like a damaged disk device.
    Usual that these problems occur if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
    In my opinion it has not much to do. I don't think that the replacement of the drive will solve such a problem.
