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.

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.

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.

Solution3. Clean or repair the CD/DVD drive

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.
Help please.

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.
Any suggestions? I am running WXP Professional Service Pack 3

zd7000a (Win XP MCE) DVD drive will write on CD, not DVD
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.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Follow-up for completeness. New drive arrived today, installed without a hitch, just burn a DVD with more than 2 GB of data. Worked like a charm. As a bonus the new drive is twice faster OEM he came with.
