  Hello

  Strange!
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find also 2 Firmware updates.
  Check which drive you unit and try to update the firmware.
  Also try installing the DVD ram driver.

  PS: It is not possible to roll back the BIOS or install the first version of the BIOS on the device. Only the Toshiba service partner may DOWNGRADE the BIOS

• CD/DVD Drive not reading CD, need help to diagnose.

  My CD player stopped suddenly reading CD. It has been a little flawed for some time now, but never had any problems with the playback of the media.

  Features: CPU - Q6600 OC @2.8, motherboard - Asus P5KC (Intel P35), GPU - Palit GTX460 Sonic, RAM - Samsung DDR2 @ stock 800 mhz, hard drive - TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - H653F ATA Device

  Here's a quick list of nonlethal problems so far:

  • Loudly spinning upwards at the start, causing sometimes windows to take more time to start (breaks on a black screen before the loading bar appears), while the player rotation.
  • When open immediatately closes.
  • Very slow to install programs on CD (compared to the old disk)

  As a referance, is a replacement of CD that came with the pc drive. I fried the on-board network and the IDE port on my motherboard while installing a new CPU fan (located at the bottom of the motherboard), I bought this as a replacement a year ago and I pluged in a SATA 2 slot.

  I recently installed a new graphics card and had to reorganize some cables so that it, I checked all the cables to make sure they are in place, but its possible that the connected cables are still loose, some futher information that I'll write below may help you to understand if it is possible.

  The main problem I have is with it not reading CD, but the above can be useful for diagnostic purposes.

  Basically the drive is detected by Device Manager and apparently "works", drivers are installed correctly and it reacts in OS for opening/closing of orders from status bar.

  He just thinks it is still empty.

  The problem started after a windows update that may or may not be a link the ancestral of the problem. I do not do drive but have used about three days before the startup problem.

  Any help is very appreciated

  Burpleronnie

  Hi burple,.

  Looks like the CD player is a failure.

  The computer can be set to boot from this drive first, and he is suspended because the drive does not respond properly.

  I suggest to try the drive in another computer or another drive in this computer if possible.

• Help with CD drive not reading CD!

  My wife recently purchased an iPod, and when we tried to rip CD, CD said he could not 'read the media' on the CD... and after having tried with 2-3 different CD I got the same result.  I updated the drivers from the CD-ROM and used "FixIt" Microsoft application and still no dice!  If there is any futher information, please let me know... but please HELP!

  Hello

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

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - 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, could be a loose cable 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 in 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 manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of 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 (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry
  entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "could" be the cause.

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

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive of course subkeys as
  There will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask involved specific keys as well as the
  Parameters.

• CD drive not recognized. Inefficient Windows solutions.

  My CD player suddenly decided to not read the CD more the other day.  It is not listed in Device Manager, so I not give me the ability to uninstall or reinstall the drivers.  I downloaded the latest BIOS from the manufacturer, but it has no effect.  I don't know what else to do.  Help, please.

  This seems to be the physical hardware or the cd/dvd drive connections are damaged and that's why the drive is not recognized.

  So, I recommend you to please contact the manufacturer of the laptop for better assistance.

• HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GSA - H55N not reading / detects a Windows 7 installation disc

  I am fully updated, microsoft tried fix it. tried to roll back/update disk... Using windows XP. Drive works on 2 other laptops, so it isn't the drive. Could be my optical drive... all reg edit bugs in addition to buying a new one?

  Yes, peripheral is enabled, just windows 7 dvd that does not work, music CD, DVD pc game work, tried doug knox fix and reboot unplug the thing...

  You have a question for my optical drive...

  the power is connected, and the cable that has like 50 different plug ins., there are two other places that are not used... What are those for? I tried to find out if im missing something, but no other cable that can go into those... are just there for something else?

  Judging by you last post there is a problem with the disc. The fact that other devices rom on other computers may read it is not serious. Some are more susceptible to errors than others. As I said above, I repeatedly saw situations where a disc will be read by a device, but not by another. Personally, what I would do is put the drive in a rom device which is able to read, copy the files, and then create a bootable usb flash drive using Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.

  Wonder what that "are the other two places. I assume you mean the motherboard there where other "two places". I can't say without seeing, but most likely they are the IDE ports. In fact, one is probably a rom or the hard disk and the other is probably for a floppy disk. The port to connect floppy will be slightly smaller in size.

  Is IT that you are talking about? Of course, the two TOS in the image are IDE and is not flexible, but unless you are experienced or look very close, you won't immediately notice the difference in size but it is quite substantial.

• Can not read DVD in Windows 7

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and said Microsoft it has integrated DVD playback capability, I ran to the resolution of the problems and that it could not find any problem, run sfc .scannow that present no problem, but I still can't play the DVD.
