• Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E: Cannot burn DVD-RAM

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E, who owns a DVD player, I tried to write on a DVD RAM, and he says the copy is write protected, I checked help and it says to install the driver of DVD from tools and disk utilities, but I can't find the drive with the rest of the bits provided with the computer when I got it earlier.

  Is there anywhere I can download this driver?
  Thank you

  Hello
  One question; What operating system do you use? Looking for XP or Vista drivers?
  The Toshiba driver page provides all the necessary drivers. There is a new update 5.20 - B70A DLA . CA? OS independent and Ca s? s a good idea to install it.
  This is the problem for writing or formatting DVD-RAM disk.

  PS; The DVD-RAM driver is also available but only for W2k
  The XP and W2k DVD-RAM driver is available by satellite Pro A120 PSAC0E

• Re: SA80 cannot find DVD - RAM drive

  A client gave to a backyard tech because the DVD player was not working. Apparently, he got working and formatted and reinstalled the computer - thus leaving without a driver. In addition, it has formatted wrong, messed up the MBR a bit.

  In any case, I've completely wiped the HARD drive and got to halfway through the installation of windows XP Pro before I realize that I was installing the wrong for his key. Cancelled, and the installer threw a bit of one-piece - so when I got back home, he tried to start the setup of pro at the disk - it was just a big mess.
  Issues and blue screens. Then I jumped in Vista and used the disk to format the computer (under Vista read a driver error with regard to the discs and hard drives has not bothered to install it and I simply used the recovery console and the words "Format C:").

  And now the DVD player does not work yet. Anyone with bright ideas that will save me an aneurysm?
  It is not displayed under BIOS (it's a laptop, so it could not be supposed to.),
  And when I changed the boot order to go drive it jumps directly to the disk drive - what is more a BONE and so informs me that BootMGR is missing. Through PXE, and he can't get the reader either.

  The drive seems to be spinning, but then faints.

  I don't know how the previous technology solved. I could tear this laptop apart looking for a broken cable, but I doubt that's the problem.

  Info; Satellite A80 1.86, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HARD drive. disc is a DVD-RAM. And it's a P006andsoonandsoforth.

  So, any ideas?

  > Update - got the drive working again. I'm going to operate under the theory that the drive is sensitive and that the owner must have hit it on some - as I have been set a little wiggle.

  Great! Thanks for this feedback

• Satellite Pro A300 - cannot write DVD

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 with PIONEER DVD - RW DVRTDO8A; Version 1.54 and after 2 years usingIi FW start having problems with the DVD the DVD because no desire to write.

  Maybe someone can help me?

  Hey Buddy,

  You still use another brand of DVD? Some brands could not be compatible with your player. I made good experiences with DVD-R (not DVD + R) of Verbatim and TDK. Both brands are working well and never had any problems.
  Did you check that?

  What burning software do you use?
  I use CD Burner XP because it s nice and little freeware tool.

• Cannot write DVD + RW on Satellite A100

  Hi all
  On my satellite A100 (PSAA9) I came to write on a DVD + RW (4.7 GB of Philips) since the year last to April this year.
  Today when I try to write on the same DVD, I can't do it and the answer is the "disk reads protected", but I can format? ! After format I can not always write about it! I have the same behavior with 3 DVD

  Thanks in advance for your support
  Best regards

  Maybe you should write your data using a program of writing and not directly with windows.

  You really should try a burning like "Nero" or "CD burner XP" program if you have not already because it s probably the best way to burn General and not with windows Explorer.

  I didn t understand your description about your tool, it s not a little clearer. Can clarify you?

  Greetings

  Then, run the fixit automated Microsoft at the link below.

  sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

  Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

  Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

• Satellite Pro M30: Cannot write - DVD SD-R6112

  I have a M30 Satellite with a Player Pro combined DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD. The drive is marked as "DVD-R/RW. It will play the DVD without problem, but it will not recognize any blank DVD - RW disc. I've used Nero6 and RecordNow Delux.

  The drive is incorrectly marked? If anyone has had problems similar and, more important still, to find a solution?

  Hi Geoff,

  Your device works properly if you use DVD-R discs? I tried mine using a DVD - RW once and it would not accept the disk until I had formatted (using NERO).
  Using DVD - R blanks I had no problem at all.

  I'm looking for a firmware for my drive.

  Toshiba Support I can find firmware for Pioneer and Toshiba (TSSTCorp) readers only.
  LG says that Toshiba has new firmware.

  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and find tree updates different firmware for TS-L632H and TS-L632P and TS-L632, but there is no update for LG GSA-T20N.

  If you are not able to burn data to discs double layer, then you should try different brands.
  AFAIK that should your user manual contains some details and information taken in charge and compatible discs.

• DVD recorder is not read/write discs DVD-RAM on Satellite A200-1GH

  Hello!!

  I have the problem as the topic - my DVD drive is not read/write DVD-RAM discs (recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N). Unfortunately, there is no any drivers (more recent than I've got) for this recorder on the Toshiba, not even site on LG or Microsoft. What should I do?

  Greetings

  Hello

  To be honest, it's quite strange. If the laptop is preinstalled with recovery image, it should work. I tested it on my laptop 5 minutes ago and it works. The DVD-RAM disc is readable and different documents can be saved on the disk too.

  Do you use your own installation of OS, or you still have some factory settings?

• Carpet * a UJ-830 cannot read/write DVDs on Equium L10

  Hi, I have a laptop Equium L10. My DVD RAM mast * a UJ 830 cannot read/write to DVD discs. But it can read and write CDs.
  I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

  This problem appears since day one?

  I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
  What burning software do you use?
  For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

• DVD/CD RW do not read audio CDs or data or save a blank CD, but that it's ok to read and write DVDs

  My DVD/CD RW drive will not respond to CDs of any type, void, audio or data.  It whirs for a few seconds and then more nothing.  No AutoPlay (even if she is selected and in the registry as a value of 1), and if I try to click on the drive, the old hourglass stand forever and if I click on new does not, unless I have the disc, it erases then back to normal.

  The drive works fine for DVD reading and writing.  I tried to little nearly every thread relating to problems of CD, and I ran out of hair out! I uninstalled it, unplugged, repluged, rebooted, reinstalled, you name it! PC has updated the driver when I try to update.  I did all the advice regedit I saw and still nothing!  Anyone?  Please?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.
