CD/DVD drive does not read discs on Equium A100

My cd/dvd drive does not read any discs be it, white, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and is light to show that he is working on. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly.

Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

Can someone help me I tried everything my friends and I can think, or is it better to send just to toshiba warranty.

If the solution proposed by James will not help, you should try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager.
After phone restart the operating system will recognize and initialize the disk again.
After this review of the procedure if you can read, write the middle.

  • The CD/DVD drive does not read discs

    Hi, I have a COMPAQ Presario CQ40 with optiarc DVD RW AD - 7561 ATA Device driver, recently the drive does not work properly. It can read and burn the disc, that I already used, but when it's a new (disc white) it does not read the disc.  It has an error message "make sure that the disc uses a format windows recognizes. If the drive is not formatted, you must format it before you use it. "the disc is the format that would recognize the system.  I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled from the Device Manager, but nothing works, tried too much microsoft fixit, always the same.  Hope that there is another work around here... Thank you...

    Have you tried using other burning software?

    Hello

    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.

    I know that not all media work on all players. In the manual, you should find a list of tested and good work supports.

  • Satellite L500-13D-CD/DVD drive does not read CD

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite l500-137 laptop with vista sp2.
    There is a cd writes that my dvd drive would not read, the driver can read other CDs & DVDs well.
    who says cd's seems to be fine as it can become red from the other computer.

    any suggestions?

    * Thanks to *.

    Hello

    That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

    In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.

  • Satellite L50D-B - faulty DVD drive does not recognize discs

    Bought 2 months ago. The reader agrees not the CD, DVD or anything like that.
    The name of the drive does not appear on the disc and if you double click on the DVD drive icon (even if a disc is inserted) the drawer opens and says please insert a disk. I tried several discs are not the issue.

    So far I got technical support where I bought it.
    They said to do a reinstall I did - with the full drive clean. I tried to update the drivers, but the computer insists on the fact that they are later. If I search my model number on the site of Toshiba driver support he gets rejected, and I have no access to (Toshiba) drivers.

    I checked a few other forums and tried the regedit fix, but which is also irrelevant. If no solution is found (and I've lost hours of my life on this subject) then this laptop is going back for a refund and I'll get one who will perform the simple task of playing a DVD.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that you have such a stupid problem with your machine. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    In my opinion you should not waste your time checking and search for some drivers who probably will not help at all.

    Reinstall the original operating system that you have with your machine and test functionality with the factory settings. If the result is the same contact your reseller or Toshiba service provider directly and ask for help. They can check ODD and Exchange if necessary.

    I have a Satellite P200-140. The DVD/CD Player plays all DVDs without problem. However, it does not read CD. A message 'no disc' appears.
    I've updated the drivers, cleaned the lens, completed all the normal tasks.

    Any advise / solutions out there?

    Hello

    Maybe you should try to remove the capital letters and lowerfilters in the registry, because you can often read here in the forum:

    (1) run regedit (Start-Run-Regedit online online)
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    I hope this works for you too! :)

  • Equium A200-1V0-CD/DVD drive does not read disks

    Hello

    in 'My computer', it shows the drive as being there for the dvd/cd etc, and when you put a disc in it makes all the noises whirring that it starts to read, but they are actually not autostart or anything and you do not see them on the screen 'my computer '.

    It lists just like the normal reader, as thoough, that nothing was in it.

    Double clicking on it does nothing at all, nor open or explore.

    Any ideas please?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    There is a general solution but it doesn't work still, but in my opinion it s no doubt worth a try.

    First of all, you need to remove the drive from Device Manager.
    Simply access the Device Manager, mark the CD/DVD drive and remove it from the list of devices.

    In addition, you will need to access the registry using the regedit command.
    There, you have to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Finally, restart the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD has been recognized again.

    Check it!

When I insert the CD you can hear it spin and green light flashes, but after about 10-15 seconds it stops and the light goes out. Under 'My Computer', I see more player.

    Hi, I had the same problem and very frustrated as my CD/DVD stoped working after an update by Microsoft, it wouldn't read any CD or burn anything.  I had no chance after trying all the solutions offered by Micorsoft.

    I tried my laptop manufacturing couple of times and had no answer, finally I got an email from those who proposed the solution. My problem was solved following in their footsteps, and I hope it solves the current problem of other frustrated users who tried the Microsoft solution and are always looking for an answer.  I copy and paste the exact observation of my e-mail.

    "For this issue, first remove the WEIRD Device Manager device and then analyze the change for a trial.

    So again, please load by default in the BIOS as follows. Please turn on the laptop. As soon as you see the ASUS logo to enter the BIOS, press F2. Then press F9 to load the BIOS default. Then save and exit and then restart the laptop.
    The BIOS flash procedure is now complete. »
