The recovery cd theat comes with those pc is windows vista recovery CD. We tried to download the drivers on the Net and they were very good except the cd/dvd drive.

  Hello

  usually if you have an XP machine and installed a burner then this procedure should give you the ability to burn:

  If you really cannot burn General perhaps the service is disabled and must be re-activated:

  I read something, you must check a box to activate this ability in the last lines of this article.

• Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

  When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

  I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

  Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

  Hello

  the following things could probably help you with your problem:

  -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
  -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
  -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

  If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

• DVD burn on Satellite A100 problem

  I copied a saving a movie to my PVR to my Satellite A100, converted from .rec in .mpg and edited (cut from the ads at the beginning and end). So far, everything was fine - I could read the film edited on my laptop. The problems started when I tried to burn to DVD.

  The first time I tried this, followed by Windows Movie Maker using Windows DVD Maker, it took about two-and-a-half hours (for a record of 1 hour 45 minutes), and then I found that the end of the film was missing!

  My second attempt (same record) used Ulead DVD MovieFactory for Toshiba. It was much faster, taking about 45 minutes, but after trying to read the DVD, I found that about 50 minutes in the film noise stopped - the soundtrack to this point changed to that of the end credits (but not the image) and then fell silent.

  I tried every software application with different media (first, Philips DVD + R; Second, Verbatim DVD + R) and found exactly the same problems every time.

  Could someone suggest what I'm doing wrong before I waste more time or DVDs on this?

  Hi mate,

  I think that during the compression of something, it s logical that the process takes more time. It s like when you compress zip files, if you set a stronger compression that the process would take more time and archive would be less.

  Yes, Don t worry, I sometimes some errors of thought, too. ;)

  Hey Buddy,

  I use CD Burner XP because it s nice and little freeware tool.

  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.

• Question about reinstalling software multimedia DVD on a Satellite A100-049

  When I ran the system restore on my laptop Toshiba it put these two but I see no way to reinstall without restoring the entire drive to when I bought it all first. I always have installed WinDVD but took Ulead (I forgot the exact name of the DVD Media software) and can now re - install.

  Toshiba would send me a CD of installation appropriate for these?

  Thank you

  GMC
  If I were you I contact the next local service partner and ask them if they replace my CD of restoration with a new.

  What do you think? :)
