  • My CD/DVD drive cannot read or write media.

    I get a message to insert a disc, but it is already in it.   When I reinsert the disc, I get the same message.

    Hello

    Looks like the drive has a problem, possibly a cleaning disc might help if he and the
    below are questionable solutions to what sounds like a hardware problem.

    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
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    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
    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.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • Cannot write files e200v2

    I have a Sansa e200v2. I run a computer-Sidux linux with KDE 4 as window manager. When I try to copy files by drag and drop, I get an error message indicating that it cannot create folders. When I try and copy individual songs, he says it cannot write to the disk. Before this started, I copy music on the drive and hit eject and unplugged, thinking about its deletion. So I'm sure I caused damage. I was wondering if I could solve this problem of formatting and then reinstall the drivers. If Yes, where can I find them and how to properly install them? Again, I use the window, and I don't know much about linux. Please help me.

    Result not screwed, but you'll have to dive into Linux a little.

    Go to settings/USB Mode and put the device in MSC mode. This in fact act like any other USB thumb drive. Your Linux support a USB? These are the drivers, you need to find.

    The other mode, MTP, is one that works with Windows Media Player. You may have switched to that, and it probably won't work with Linux.

  • Solutions to the problem of CD/DVD drive cannot read DVD discs

    This article will tell you 3 ways to solve the problem of the CD/DVD drive do not read the DVD disc. Please the process step by step.

    Solution1. Clean the DVD disc

    If your Player cannot detect the DVD disc, the first thing you need to do is to clean the DVD disc. Use a soft and dry cloth (not painted) to wipe the disc from the center of the disc to the edge. Please take care to not to use a paper to clean the disc with a circular motion, it will scratch the disc.

    After cleaning, inert the DVD on the drive to see if it works, if the reader can't read the disc, use a cloth of cotton wet with water or alcohol to clean the disc. After the disc dry, inert re the disc on the drive. If the reader can read, the operation is complete. If this isn't the case, please turn to the option2.

    Option2. Check the disc to see if it has been damaged

    Draw the DVD from the drive and check if there are some scratches or small cracks on the disc. If the disc is damaged, please try another DVD disc to see if the drive can read. If the drive cannot recognize the new disk, there could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. Please turn to solution 3.

    Solution3. Clean or repair the CD/DVD drive

    When a CD/DVD drive has been used for a long time, its ability to play disc will only get worse. Then, the reader can not read some discs, or blocking your computer in the middle of the reading disc. This is usually due to the aging of certain parts of the disc, CD/DVD player dirty.

    Open the drive to check if the DVD reader accumulates dust and dirt, if so, the cold air from the hair dryer allows you to clean the inside of the DVD drive. Be sure to not blow on the optical sensor orally, or clean it with a cloth of cotton with water or alcohol. After cleaning, insert a DVD disc on the drive to see if it works. If still no, you need to call the s command customer service or take the reader to a computer repair shop.

  • Satellite U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

    My CD/DVD drive does not work.

    It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

    If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

    I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

  • Satellite A120: CD/DVD drive cannot read or recognize DVD

    Hello

    I had this problem, whenever I insert a DVD, or even a CD containing data stored, my laptop will not be able to access these files.
    When I go to my computer, there will be an icon to recognize the CD or the DVD, I sometimes get a message saying that the file extensions is not overprint and I have to change it.

    Funniest yet, when I try to insert a DVD-ROM, it recognizes the DVD as a VIRGIN drive; an icon appears in my computer that would suggest that the DVD CD is actually a blank disc. Simply, I can't run any DVD or CD any data.

    I have the latest drivers, I run Vista 32 bit and am distraught as the cause of my problems.

    I hope I can get this problem solved by your help.

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure, what could be the reason of this strange WEIRD question but let's m hope this could be solved by changing some registry entries.

    First of all, please go to the Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.

    Then, start the registry editor and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then restart the laptop and check if the CD/DVD drive would work after a new reorganization of the driver and installation.

  • Your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media

    I did not burn any CD or DVD on my desktop in a few months. Now when I try, my program writing, Roxio Easy Media Creator 9.0, do note "no drive detected".  Cleary Device Manager shows the two CD/RW (I have two installed) present and activated without obvious problems.  I reinstalled Roxio nothing helps, uninstalled both drives and started and not reinstalled - no help. Fix - it for MS recognizes readers while noting that BOTH are not capable of writng and install a writing program - which is already installed.

    My scanner suddenly stopped writing to DVD. Using Nero, it fails with a generic error message. Using the native ability of Win XP passes the title of car of "DVD / CD + RW" in the window of the Explorer for just 'CD player' if I insert a blank DVD and refuses to let me drop files into the window.  I can write to CD fine both using Nero and Win XP.  I can play DVDs, as well.

    I tried to delete the drive in hardware and re-Startup Manager to force reinstallation of the driver; no help.
