Cannot read DVD on flea market Portege M300

Hello.

I wonder if someone can help me. I bought an flea market portege M300 and it's fine - however I could not create recovery discs that the option was not on the section Protect and Fix on Toshiba Assist.
Now, I can't read the DVD.

I guess that sort of resettlement was made but not with the toshiba recovery discs and so I can see I can play DVD CD or burn CDs. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should do. Toshiba send me a recovery disc for the machine and so I was wondering if they would be on these discs and if I should wait until they arrive.

Thank you, best regards,.

Rachel

Hello

Does the drive support the function of burning?

You can try to enter in the properties of the drive and select the recording tab.
The option activate write to this drive must be marked.

On the Toshiba Recovery CD, you will find an image with preinstalled operating system and all the Toshiba drivers needed and utility.
If you want to watch DVDs if you need special software such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
These are applications of DVD player. I guess the WinDVD must be preinstalled on the image.
To burn a CD s, you are also burning software. I advise to use a Nero.
For me this is one of the best burning applications.

You should try using different media. You should know that not all media are compatible and supported.

You bought this laptop as a second hand unit, so it is possible that the drive is bad. Sometimes, if the drive cannot burn or read some of the media due to the error of calibration of lens. In this case there are not a lot to do to replace the drive.

    my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

    Hello

    I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
    In this case, you need additional codecs.
    This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
    Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  • Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

    Hello

    The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

    Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

    Hello Alex

    I have Satellite P20-303 and the DVD player is not able to read DVD + R/RW format. You have obviously portable US but I think the drive is the same.

    Hello!

    I always watch DVDs with VLC media player. With this player, you can also listen to music and he can play many types of files.

    In addition, you should look on the Toshiba website for an update of the firmware. Maybe this could also solve the problem.

  • Satellite P100-10U preinstalled Vista cannot read DVD - event code 11

    After the work with my new Toshiba P100-10U system could not read DVD more, it is still able to read CD-Roms! In Device Manager, an exclamation point grey is visible.

    The event log indicates repeatedly "Treiber Der hat einen Controllerfehler auf \Device\CdRom0 found.", something like "the pilot detected error on \Device\CdRom0 controller."

    I installed the system again, but the wrong behavior is still there.
    The system has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s drive.

    I already checked the registry entry {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. There's no UpperFilter or UpperFilter attributes.

    Any idea?

    Thank for Kalle

    Hello

    I m really surprised because such error problem should be resolved after the installation of the new operating system.
    More as you already suggested the filter upstream and downstream in the registry key are mainly responsible for these strange drive problems.

    In any case, I recommend to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the CD/DVD drive again. You should see a message as new device has been installed or something like that

    In addition, it would be desirable to use a system like CCleaner repair program. It s freeware!

    Finally, you should check the registry again if the upper and lower filter exists and delete it.
    Don t forget to reboot the device.

    Good luck

  • Cannot read DVD + RW or CD - r under Windows XP service pack 3.

    I have a Windows XP with service pack 3 and I am currently unable to read DVD + RW or CD - r on my computer.  The computer thinks that the disk is empty, even if the information is there and it works fine on other computers.  It * can * read commercially created the CD and DVD, however.  The only fix I can find is in the 899527 article which I'm unable to install since it was apparently incorporated in service pack 3 already.  I contacted the manufacturer of the drive and it seems to work fine according to them.  Does anyone know what anyone else that I can try to fix this problem?

  • Portege 4000 - Installed - XP cannot read dvd

    I installed XP as a clean install on a 4000 Portege that previously had 98SE top.

    Now I am unable to play dvd in Windows Media Player and get a message that there need a MPEG-2 decoder, but Microsoft transfer me a site where I have to pay: [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDecoder].

    Is there a way to get around this?

    The cd works well, and it doesn't seem to be a necessity for an acoustic muffler for now.

    Hello

    If you need a MPEG-2 decoder then I recommend you to install some codec packs.
    + K - Lite Mega Codec Pack + contains everything you need (and more) codecs.

    You should try it.

    PS: Why you don't use no matter what players left 3rd? For example the * VLC player * is free and it's a great player. He manages all possible files.
