    Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers

    If necessary:

    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.

    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.

    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

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • CD/DVD drive reads but does not write.

    I run XP multimedia.

    When the optical drive no longer works, I ran malware controls, then Mats_Run.dvd.exe.

    "I had to choose and choose fix' reading discs ' which it did.

    "" Write function did not work so I ran /Mats_Run.dvd.exe again with the ' writing difficulty ' option.

    Still, it reads but does not write.

  • My CD/DVD drive reads CD but not DVD

    Hi all

    I have a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633M DVD player in my laptop and after about 6 months of use, the drive stopped reading/writing DVD. It still reads CDs fine and sometimes will read a DVD completely (without provocation and without warning...!) but is very skittish and stops randomly just to play a DVD. Often, the player will eject and give an error message tells me to insert a disc. I don't know what to do.

    I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I tried to run the Microsoft Fixit application, which recognizes that the drive is unable to read DVD but offers nothing more useful than and doesn't solve anything (despite its name...). I've read through a number of different forums and have found a range of advice: replace the disk, uninstall and reinstall the drivers or editing the registry. What should I do to solve this problem? Naturally, I would prefer not to have to replace the drive itself, but if it's the only way...

    Thanks in advance!

    Mangi

    The registry thing only works if the drive is completely AWOL from the system so that it does not appear as a drive in "My Computer"... not your problem. The DVD and CD using different lasers and it is not uncommon to go wrong and the other not. You can check the operation of the DVD trying to boot from a bootable DVD. If you can not drive is bad and needs to be replaced. If it works sometimes and not others it could just need a good cleaning with a DVD lens cleaner.

  • DVD drive reads CD but not DVD.

    I use a laptop Gateway M - 151 X with an Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7640 A ATA device. The player is no longer plays DVDs, although it does not read CD. I have read through similar problems on this site and tried to follow the advice given there. So far I have uninstalled the driver (and reinstalled by rebooting) and removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry. I also ran this Mr Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems, who told me that the problem was fixed when I ran with a CD, but he told me that the disc is unreadable when I ran fixit with a DVD. Other suggestions (for example in the selected answer here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/f388ca10-ba0b-4aa6-8f0d-be24034ada3b) do not seem to apply. Is there anything else I can do in addition to open up the computer and check the cables? I don't know what to look for and won't cause other problems.

    I don't know if this is related, but I also ran this Mr Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems, who told me he had a problem with the card Microsoft 6to4 driver, which he is then fixed by put it back automatically.

    Get a DVD cleaning disc and use it to wipe the drive.  Your drive uses different leaders internally to read CD and DVD so if one works and the other does not, a dirty car may be the cause.

  • Change of external hard drive read only to read & write

  • How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

    Hello

    I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

    I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

    Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

    I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

    Thank you very much

    Dougal

    I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
    Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

    Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.
