  Hi storm36,

  You must have the Windows XP disk to repair Windows. As the CD/DVD drive is not getting detected, we recommend you try the following steps and check the result.

  Step 1: Check if the device is detected in the BIOS (basic input/output device)
  a. start your computer and press on delete key continuously to see the BIOS.
  b. check if the CD/DVD device is detected.
  c. If this isn't the case, then unplug the unit and he reconnected inside the CPU/Tower.
  d. check the result.

  Step 2: If the device is detected in the BIOS, try the following steps:
  a. start your computer and boot to the desktop.
  b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
  c. select my computer, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
  d. check if the CD/DVD device is listed in the list.

  Step 3: If the problem persists, restore the computer
  see How to restore Windows XP to a previous state .
  b. Once you have restored the computer, check if the CD/DVD drive is visible.

• Cannot use the cd - rw drive. the icon disappeard. I'm using Vista premium edition

  happened all of a sudden. Click on the computer and everything you see is recoverydrive and the c drive

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

  Try this double click Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - device - tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive of the driver - UNINSTALL - REBOOT 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, might have a cable loose 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 at 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 system manufacturer and the manufacturer of the 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 (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some entries in the registry that the troubleshooter does not solve, and those who "could" be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the correct registry entries for your car.

  These are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - secondary-keys for the CD/DVD drive of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  You can probably find more information here and maybe even registry settings correct for your CD/DVD from someone with the same drive model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a Restore Point before changing anything)-find the DevManView device and then right click it open in RegEdit.

• P20: cannot use the DVD - RAM drive after installing a trial software

  Hi members,

  I am using Toshiba satellite P20 - 604 model - load with windows xp prof - SP2. I wasn't able to use the software from burning DVDs successfully, so I tried to install cyberlink Power2Go software (trial ver) in there and ended up with "No. DVD RAM DRIVE APPEAR" in my computer. I could see the device dvd - ram with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager. (the drive model is MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-811). I tried to update the driver for it, no use. No idea how to recover the original driver and make it available for use dvd - ram drive? waiting for your valuable solution.

  Thank you & best regards

  M.Kanagaraj

  Hello

  The easiest way is to use the system restore option if you have created a restore point before you have had an experience with the trial version of Power2Go. If this is not the case, check if there is a system restore point has done in recent days.

  Good bye

• Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

  Hi all.

  Pls help...

  I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

  I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

  Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
  Unsupported product type is installed.
  Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80
  Current BIOS version: Ver.1.40

  So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

  is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege

  Tecra M5 cannot enter the BIOS to change the setting too boot from cd first

  I bought on ebay and the seller sold me a dubious version of xp so I want to format and install my own at the start he said:

  The Intel Boot Agent GE v1.2.31 initialization
  KE - E05: the LAN adapter's configuration is corrupted or has not been initialized. Boot agent cannot continue

  Hello

  The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

  If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

  A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

  Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

• Drive 1 not found, cannot enter the bios or boot menu.

  I hope you guys can help me with a problem. I have a workstation t5400. A few days ago it stopped booting. I get a disk 0 not found: Serial ATA, Sata 0. On the bios boot screen, I can hit f2 and it says its set of entry towards the top but just goes back to the drive not found error. I tried to change the cables, tried plugging the drive into another port (which I do not know is actually activated because I can't get on the bios). I know for a fact that the drive works. I replaced the motherboard battery. I wouldn't be able to get into the bios without any installed readers?

  Any help would be a life saver. Thank you

  Morgan.

  Thank you. I unplugged all readers but that did not work at first. It took me ten minutes to realize I should probably remove the battery for a second. I finally had no error! messages and means able to enter setup. All disks have been disabled. That makes sense to me because 0 is enabled by default and it wouldn't give me a not found error if the port has not been activated and that I should still be able to access at least bott settings.

  Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the help. I still want to know why he messed up.

• Cannot access the Bios Uefi more on E535

  Hello community,

  I recently bought a new laptop E535, works like a charm so far. Access BIOS was possible by pressing enter directly after machine, that came a kind of JOB analysis which could be ignored by pressing any key and that came a kind of table where I could access Bios by pressing a key (do not remember which it was exactly). Otherwise I could enter Bios when the boot menu by pressing tab, who passed on another tab where Bios could be entered (also a kind of diagnosis of the programs could be launched). As mentioned in the subject, it is impossible for me to do that now, after I did the following:

  -traded integrated with a new (access still possible Bios) SSD HDD

  -changed in the BIOS boot mode, both (legacy + UEFI) in Uefi only (maybe it's the problematic point, but I'm not sure)

  -Installed Windows 7 using Uefi on ssd

  Not when I press on enter on startup it brings me to the Windows boot menu manager (you know where you can say to start Windows normally or in safe mode and so). Menu of startup has also not changed with a new section "starting windows" (finally), but when switch to another tab, it is empty now, no entry for Bios setup or diagnostic tests more.

  It's really bad. I googled around and tried the following until now without success:

  -Pressing F1 instead of entry

  -Portable stop and start with F1 key

  -boot without HDD

  -from HARD drive without amendment, which was originally installed in the laptop (which cannot be started more, probably because it has been installed in legacy mode)

  I also thought about flashing the bios, but the latest version available on the lenovo support seems to be 1.04, but pre installed on my laptop is 1.10, so my version is much more recent. Should I try to still the flash?

  While looking around, I found a post that looks like a lot to my problem, but without any other ideas how to solve this problem except for mail in my machine:

  It seems to be a very rare problem with installing Windows 7 in UEFI mode, thanks to the help of the "someotherguy" forum member I could solve it. Others running into the same problem should contact him directly.

  Hi Dominic,

  Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?

  If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.

  NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.

• Cannot upgrade the BIOS on Satellite P30 - 145

  Hello world

  just inherited a laptop P30-145, impossible to pass the bios. When I run the file, I get the message"BIOS update rom wrong format! "and then the installation program stops. How to pass? I do all right according to the Web site.

  Just one thing, the original restore disc wasn't available, so I installed a standard XP and updated the necessary drivers on the Toshiba site.

  Hello

  Try the 1.40 BIOS driver Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/downloadDetail.jsp?soID=1236378&PF=true

  The BIOS is for Satellite P30 PSP30U. It the same series as the European notebook PSP30E series.

  Download the exe file and save it to the desktop. Then, create a folder and unzip the sp35v14.exe file in this new folder created.
  Now go to this folder and inside that folder, you will find some files.
  Read the Readme.txt file for the complete instructions for use the BIOS update.
