CD/dvd-rom is not reading or writing

• CD/DVD-Rom will not read the CD

  I just upgraded from vista to windows 7 Home premium database on my laptop and now my CD-DVD-Rom will not read any CD I put in the drive. He reads that DVD very well so I'm up for a loop now. My drivers are all far better that I can find. I know it's a CD-DVD-Rom, because before I updated I had no problem reading CDs and DVDs. This is a problem because all my anti-virus and other programs are all on CD. I don't know how to fix this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  -Thank you

  Thanks for the post with suggestions. I have tried it all and still had the same problem. I called Dell and got the laptop computer and an hour with a tech restarted my computer and try to fix it, they decided that something in the upgrade process damaged my CDRom and they sent me a new to replace my current one. I'll get it Tuesday and weather post or not, that is the question. Just in case where there are other people out there who might have the same problem.

  -Thank you again for your help

  Hello

  I assume that you have installed Win XP on this oldi.
  Win XP and other systems such as Win Vista or Win 7 use the Microsoft CD/DVD driver and a STRANGE special drivers is therefore not necessary.
  The ODD (optical disc) must be recognized by Win XP automatically without installation of any other drivers driver update is not necessary.

  I recommend the removal of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager, and then remove the upper and lower registry filters.

  I found your other son that you posted some time there is failure of CD/DVD drive.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=72663

  My idea was to clean the laser lens, but has already been suggested in other threads as well.

  In my opinion, there is not much to do sometimes firmware could be updated to improve the compatibility between the different discs, but this is possible only in case these packages would be available.
  I checked the page of the Toshiba UE driver and firmware update is not available for the series L750.
  So I guess that your problem is related to the WEIRD malfunction.

• Yet another DVD-ROM does not

  Hello

  I also have another DVD-ROM doesn't work is no problem. The drive used to work fine until I installed a second drive, replace my CD burner by an engraver of DVD - RAM. The second works very well. I'm used to debug hardware issues but was just lazy for a few months. Today, I put a lot of time to test, read the Forum etc. No luck. My system is a Dimension 8400/Win XP and not work drive is HL-DT-ST DVD - ROM GDR8163B.

  No errors in Device Manager. The drive just keeps asking to insert a disc. Any type of disc does work (audio, cd or dvd), but they work very well with the DVD - RAM drive. Here's what I've done:

  1. Uninstall all of the software (with Add/Remove Programs Win) associated with CD - DVD (Nero, InCD, PowerDVD7, producer of energy, to things, I got with the DVD-RAM).
  2. Tried the first simple ideas found on the forum. Uninstall DVD driver and IDE controller and remove all keys filters upper and lower in the register (as you see below redbook remains). Delete all errors in the registry with CCleaner three times, until there was no error on the left. I noticed there are still entries in the registry for software that I removed (whole folder of Cyberlink stuff is still there). Have you not tried to erase that. An example of windows efficiency unsinstalling of things. You get not just on a Mac. Oops sorry for this comment. Maybe it's the best solution. Buy a Mac, put the DVD-ROM and it should work fine... ; >). I used to do the Mac support and installation of a few years back... Anyway.
  3. Unplug the DVD-RAM drive to keep only the no work in the car.
  4. Do the first four steps of this page: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_cdrom&thread.id=138730
  5. Reconnect the DVD-RAM to run Dell diagnostics from the utility CD (I don't have the utility partition because the main hard drive has been replaced). From the DVD - ROM drive self-test. Seek and reading tests just asked to put a disc in the drive, I tried several times. Like in Windows, nothing is known.
  6. Finally, I even tried to remove redbook.sys file drivers, reboot, Windows successor but the DVD-ROM is not working.

  Now, the only thing I can think is to try the drive in another computer. I'll try that, if I can find a friend who let me open his PC.

  Any other suggestions?

  All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

  Any suggestions?
  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

• DVD recorder is not read/write discs DVD-RAM on Satellite A200-1GH

  Hello!!

  I have the problem as the topic - my DVD drive is not read/write DVD-RAM discs (recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N). Unfortunately, there is no any drivers (more recent than I've got) for this recorder on the Toshiba, not even site on LG or Microsoft. What should I do?

  Greetings

  Hello

  To be honest, it's quite strange. If the laptop is preinstalled with recovery image, it should work. I tested it on my laptop 5 minutes ago and it works. The DVD-RAM disc is readable and different documents can be saved on the disk too.

  Do you use your own installation of OS, or you still have some factory settings?
