CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

Hello

You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
while others are doing so correctly.

Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
could help.

Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
issue.

CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
the reader.

Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

===========================================

This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
is worth it.

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 check the cables
both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
and the manufacturer of the 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 &)

others do it properly.

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.

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  • Satellite L30-134 PSL33E: CD/DVD player can't read data CD

    I bought my laptop (Satellite L30-134 PSL33E) 4 months ago and I had no problem with the optical drive of my Satellite. But yesterday, I discovered that my drive is no longer can read data CDs.

    I created a CD with the Toshiba ToDisc utility which contained MP3s. The CD works fine on another computer but when I try to play them on this computer Windows laptop tells me that the CD is blank and asks me if I want to save data.

    It doesn't have this problem with the DVD, I can read and write perfectly. My optical drive is a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S. Windows says I have the latest driver for it (5.1.2535.0) but it says it's from 2001 (?) in the properties under the selected hardware.

  • Blu Ray player can not read the DVD. It can read CDs and Blu Ray discs, but not DVD.

    Recently, I lost my hard drive.  Dell sent me a new disk with the drivers that came with the computer.

    I just noticed that my Blu Ray player is no longer playing DVDs.  I don't know if the hard drive crash has nothing to do with it, or if it's a coincidence.

    Windows says I have the latest driver.

    The computer is a Dell XPS 8300.   Is the Blu Ray player: bd - re bh30n hl-dt-st.

    The player has not served almost at all.   I read that there are the eyes for the Blu Ray vs DVD, then maybe the DVD part has failed.

    I'm always suspect that miss me a piece of software or a changed value.

    Any ideas?

    For all of you, the poor souls who shared my problem on the internet, I got beyond that.   Even though all said I had the latest driver, I found someone who said that they had downloaded a newer driver form the LG site and it fixed the problem.   Well, BH30N wasn't a model # on the LG site, but I found here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1703-file_BH30N-A103.zip.html Norton said it was OK, I clicked on the EXE file, he said that he had me upgrade from A101 to A103 and suggested that I reload.   Once I did, my Blu Ray player will read the DVD fine.

  • CD player will not read a certain disc.

    I recently bought a game. Just today, in fact (new, not used) and put it in the disc drive. He did... some sounds as if she was trying to read it, then everything just stopped. About a month ago a few weeks ago, I bought Starcraft 2. It does the same thing. -Now, it reads the disc. I don't know when he started to read the disc that I downloaded the game online using my cd key.

    But the game I bought today, has not only active. Medieval II: Total War.
    Most of the discs, I found that she reads. And the whole thing of Starcraft 2, rather confused me. I, as said, don't know not when he could've started reading the SC2 disk but it is now, apparently, as I got it in my hard drive today and he was actually showing upward into the player on my computer, so I know it is the reading that now.

    When I go in my computer after waiting for he can read this disc, he simply keeps the default icon. When I click on it, it tells me to insert a disc, as if there no one there already.

    This is... really weird. My CD player has only started this making no doubt... a month or two ago.

    Edit: I bought the battle pack, which also comes with Rome: Total War. He reads this drive very well.

    It's very odd and very annoying.

  • Player can not read files after transfer

    Hello world. I'm using ubuntu 8.10, MSC mode.

    My drive cannot read s mp3 I have tranfered on it. My computer can read and transfer files very well, but when I disconnect it the display freezes when updating of its database. I let it go for about 20 minutes, several times, still nothing.

    What has not worked:

    -now the Start button / stop for 15 seconds

    -updated to latest firmware

    -formatting and transferring all the files again

    any ideas?

    An update: form and using MTP mode with Rythymbox seems to have solved my problem. I am a user of Exaile, I couldn't PSG works with it before - that's why I was using MSC mode in the first place. Another player in the middle of a song by freezing twice yesterday (which he never did before) I can transfer and delete files very well. I think an update to Nautilus/GNOME must have broken something. I hope that this thread helps someone.

    I have a problem with my Satellite P200-1: can not read HD DVD. There is a message that says that the video may not be in an external device.

  • Re: Satellite P500 of USA - can not read the local DVD

    Hello

    Sorry to appear such a luddite acquired but this laptop great USA from eBay.
    User manual appears to indicate that the player is going to adapt to the locality of the drives I want to play.

    Not had any luck with playback at all to this day, the error message 'not compatible' etc., any guy of suggestions?

    See you soon,.
    Michael

    Hi mate

    I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

    To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

    My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

    Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

    Media player from Windows

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

    Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
    media players:

    (works on XP/Vista/7)

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema
    http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
    (works on XP/Vista/7)

    Or... you can try to download and install one of the
    Following codec packs.

    (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
    point before installing any software or updates).

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

    (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/
