• CD rom only reads or writes data

  After several days to burn backup discs, my computer cd rom drive to read data from the drive.

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

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

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

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

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

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  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.

  According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

  Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

  I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.
  > I can not even restart my operating system discs cannot be read from the BIOS either.
  Restart or reinstall?

• 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.

  When I put a CD the orange led start blinking and after a minute, he lights turn orange, and if I open the my computer-> DVD - RAM, it's a vacuum!

  With the DVD, so good!
  Thank you for your time

  Hello

  Sounds like a problem with the hardware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe the laser lens can not calibrate in the right position and cannot handle the reading and/or writing of CD.

  Such a hardware problem is not repairable and only the replacement of the device could help solve this problem.

  But wait you are trying to remove the drive from Device Manager?
  Try to do it. After restarting again the OS must initialize and recognizes the CD/DVD drive again.
  Then try to use the CD.

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• Solutions to the problem of CD/DVD drive cannot read DVD discs

  This article will tell you 3 ways to solve the problem of the CD/DVD drive do not read the DVD disc. Please the process step by step.

  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.

  Option2. Check the disc to see if it has been damaged

  Draw the DVD from the drive and check if there are some scratches or small cracks on the disc. If the disc is damaged, please try another DVD disc to see if the drive can read. If the drive cannot recognize the new disk, there could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. Please turn to solution 3.

  Solution3. Clean or repair the CD/DVD drive

  When a CD/DVD drive has been used for a long time, its ability to play disc will only get worse. Then, the reader can not read some discs, or blocking your computer in the middle of the reading disc. This is usually due to the aging of certain parts of the disc, CD/DVD player dirty.

  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 M30X-144 DVD - RAM cannot read DVD

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite M30X-144 and I'm having a problem with my DVD player (Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8315).

  I can play CDs, but when I put any kind of DVD in there, it does not read anything.

  What can I do to solve it?

  Hi João,.

  you have a problem with your DVD player? I suggest the following:

  Remove the disc in the "device manager" Windows, let windows reinstall, test if it works. If the same problem persists contact an ASP in local (certified partner)
  because your drive is probably faulty then your machine should be checked by a qualified technician.
  Here is a site where you can find the nearest ASP:

  [Edited by: admin November 5 05 08:28]

  Hello

  One of my friends had the same problem. He used the wrong or not compatible CD / DVD media. In my opinion you should try to burn difsferent CD / DVD. I use TDK CD and DVD and I m really satisfied.
  Secondly, what burning program did you use? I use Nero. In my opinion it's one of the best burning tools.
  Please only tick this option.

  Best regards
