  Go to the Device Manager and see if "other devices" is listed, then uninstall it.
  If the device is connected before the driver being installed or the driver was not installed correctly, the device will appear under 'Other devices' or 'unknown '.

• My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

  My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

  Hello gargoyle28m,

  If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

  Try following the steps under "Windows XP" in the article following the MS KB:

  These measures, to remove the UpperFilters and LowerFilters, values if they exist, in the registry key named can help.

  Create a System Restore Point beforehand and restart the computer later.

• Satellite A210-12U - DVD RW drive will recognize the DVD but no CD

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite of 4 years (model: A210-12U) that I recently restored using the recovery CD - it running Vista SP2.

  Please bear with me as this may be an ish story, but it helps to explain my problem.
  Around a year ago, a virus has made its way onto my laptop and almost destroyed the BONE - I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable software-wise after studying at the College and began the long process of trying to resolve my laptop without using the recovery CD.

  It was a patch job, but after a month or two, I had it works again and it was fine for a period of a few months or so, before, I noticed that my DVD RW drive would no longer read or burn CDs. I spent hours trawling internet forums to help without a bit of luck and was eventually convinced that it was a hardware problem.

  As I needed to use a CD burner, my cousin gave me his DVD - RW USB drive and it did not work, which means that the logic suggested that it wasn't a physical problem with the drive, rather that it was most likely a problem with the registry/OS. It was not surprising given that I had done a basic work patch following the infection by the virus a few months earlier.

  After becoming more and more frustrated with my laptop in general, I backed up my data on a portable hard drive and used the recovery CD that came with my laptop. The laptop started the CD when he was outside of the OS (according to the instructions that came with it) and restored all of the computer to its original state (and solve many of the problems that have been caused by the virus in the process).

  I have spent the last week re - install programs, the copy of backdata etc. and was trying to install a software on a CD today, when I noticed that the laptop had difficulties to access the disk. Explorer Windows knows that the drive is there; It is listed in 'My Computer' and will also be the small CD icon alongside the pointer when it tries to load the CD - suggesting that he knows that there is a CD in there.

  However, the drive will still read DVD that suggests, it could be a physical problem with the drive itself (I read somewhere on the laser need to change its angle accordingly during playback of CDs and DVDs). I have a question though, what the computer was able to read the recovery CD when I was being a complete restoration (and that she felt the same difficulties of CD playback in Windows before restoration).

  I tried all the suggested methods in similar posts on this forum - Microsoft Fix It, uninstall the drivers etc nothing helps... So yes, I am a little confused and wonder if anyone can help?

  The DVD RW drive is listed in Device Manager as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device.

  Thank you
  Ben

  Hi Ben

  In my opinion, this is material junk. You're right about the position of the objective. It needs to be calibrated for CDs and DVDs. If the optical disc drive cannot read one of these media in general, it can be problem of lens calibration.

  To be honest sides for this old A210 are cheap and more. I advise you to buy a new or used one on eBay. Exchange and test functionality.
  To be honest I don't believe there is a trick that can help you get it working again.

• Combo CDR/DVD SDR2102 drive will not read CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I have a mobile Ergo Elite 4.
  The hard drive crashed and I bought a new one.
  I have loaded windows XP by using a boot disk but cannot get the Toshiba SDR2102 CDR/DVD combo drive to work. I had to load windows on via USB
  using a USB port.

  I can see the drive in windows Explorer, but it will not read the CD or DVD.
  I looked in the Device Manager, and it came with no warning mark.
  I tried deleteting, re-startup and he's back in the Device Manager.

  I'm trying to find a better driver, but it says that I use the best driver.
  I tried various Web sites using sand everywhere tells me that I do not need a driver for this drive.
  What I do, it seems as if the Combo driver is recognized but it will not be read whatever it is inserted, he said only: insert the disc.

  Does anyone know what I can try? or know where I can get drivers for it or software to test the drive?

  any help would be appreciated. :-(
  Some.

  Hello

  You n t need a special driver for the CD/DVD drive.
  CD/DVD players use the current Microsoft drivers already contained in the Windows operating system.

  In my opinion, you should first test different types of media. Please note that not all CD or DVD s are compatible. Distribute readers can't handle bad quality mediums.

  But we shouldn't t rule out a risk of hardware malfunction.
  Disk failure and you may wish to contact your dealer for a replacement.

• DVD/BluRay disc will not play

  I guess it's a hardware problem, but could be wrong. I have a hp dv7 1260us. He has been with me to the Afghanistan and back. For a while now, I noticed that it is a slow progression of imcompatibily with the discs(DVD/BluRay) film, data (software) works very well. What could be the problem? Drivers for the disk drive say they are up-to-date. I should it 7 there rather ov vista? Or is there a work around that only cost me money legally?

  Hello

  How many times have you changed area on the drive? This can also cause the problem too.

  Kind regards.

• Satellite P30 - DVD-RAM drive will not write DVD

  I have a Satellite P30 - 145 running XP Home Edition with a carpet * a reader of DVD-RAM UJ - 831S. I am able to read and write CDs and read DVDs, but am unable to write DVD. In 'My Computer', the drive is marked as a DVD - RAM drive, but if I insert a DVD r or DVD R, the label changes to CD drive, and I am not able to format the drive, I just inserted.
  Clues as to what is happening and what I can do about it?

  Hello

  Since when is this problem here? Is your unit pre-installed with your own operating system or with the recovery image? DVD - RAM Driver Software V3.1.0.0 is also pre-installed correctly? Burning application you are using?

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, reboot the device and check if the drive is recognized correctly again. As far as I know that your device comes with fixed burner DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) and you should be able to create all formats.

  What is DVD format?

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

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  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
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" 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 that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• found new hardware wizard appears and unknown device device Watch Manager

  Since a few days ago, the Add New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up. I looked in Device Manager and found an unknown device (yellow exclamation mark) should I delete the device? I don't know what to do to identify which device is unknown.

  If you remove it, then he'll probably be back the next time that you start.

  go to start / all programs/windows update (at the top of the list of the menu), custom search, watch your optional hardware updates and search for a driver that you have not already installed, you can get lucky. Otherwise post the details of your specifications and ask again.

  Furthermore, it can take a while to get the pages updated and you may need to install active x on the way, a line will appear at the bottom of the fixed part of your browser screen (the same as when you download) If this is the case, click on it and install active x, then a box should appear and tell you allow I think.

• Satellite L550-11th - Webcam appears as unknown device

  Hello

  I got my reinstalled (Wwindows 7-64 bit) L550.
  Now, the webcam is shown as "unknown device".

  The software on the page of Toshiba, that I installed it. Unfortunately, your camera is still unknown in Device Manager.

  Solution / or possibly the ' INF '.

  Hello

  The webcam driver v 1.1.1.4 is available on the page of the Toshiba driver and it should work properly.
  Did you check in the BIOS in webcam settings is enabled?
  Please do this first!

  BIOS-> Advanced-> Control Panel

  If the webcam is enabled, make sure that Win 7 value added package has been installed before the webcam software.

  If that does not solve the installation problem, I recommend to try a newer version of the software of the webcam that is set to the most recent series of portable Satellite
