• Tecra S1: DVD ROM not recognized burner (Plextor PX-608AL)

  Hi all

  I bought a DVD ROM Writer (Plextor PX-608AL) that is not recognized by my Tecra S1 with XP Pro.

  I installed the latest BIOS v2.50 as well as the latest Windows patches.

  To the search, in the Setup of the BIOS (ESC during startup), the drive is not available.

  I tested the drive in my old non - Toshiba with Win2k laptop with no problems.

  Mounting frame is also OK (tested with the original Toshiba DVD ROM)

  Y at - there a trick to getting a 3rd disc part DVD working in a Tecra notebook?
  What is generally a problem

  Thanks for reading my ad and you answers or advice

  Klaus

  Hello

  It won't be very easy get your new work of drive on your S1, I will explain why:

  Most DVD players for laptops (including your Plextor 608AL) do not have jumpers to set
  their place according to the requirements of the laptop.
  Three settings are available: master/slave/CableSelect

  Most Toshiba laptops require the CD to react as a secondary master drive, unfortunately
  a disc factory settings in bulk comes as a disk Primary Master or CS.

  There are two options how to get to missing jumpers to make it work.
  (1) thanks to a new firmware patch that has this option defined by the software based on Toshiba standard or
  (2) by a bridge of material on some pins to the back of the drive.

  As you can see, both options will cancel the guarantee of the reader and are not easy for a techie/technician.

  As for option 1) on the search for a suitable firmware... no there are none available now. I checked the official site of Plextor, but also sites of patch firmware... NO CONCLUSION.
  According to another Forum, business Plextor responded to a request for a firmware adapted with this answer:

  start of quote:
  Dear Sir.

  The drive is detected beeing as a master drive.
  This setting cannot be changed. Are there no rider to do so.
  How mount you the device to your laptop, it's up to you.
  It of different for every laptop and either found in the manual of books or you can request that information from the manufacturers for your laptop.

  Kind regards
  end quote (source: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=199145 )

  As in option 2), it requires some skills with soldering and I do not think that this forum is suitable for me to explain this procedure. You should google around to find the procedure "pin 47 ashore" on your own, taking all the risks of losing the warranty and/or the drive on your own.

• DVD - ROM not recognized with setting of M/S

  Hello, I just bought a DVD SD-R2412 drive to replace my dead drive (same model). However, my old drive was CSEL type and this news is M/S. I didn't know there were differences in the same model. This new drive is not recognized by Windows XP (SP2) and disappear the second IDE controller. In addition, it is not possible to boot from the CD, so I guess that the BIOS is also not recognize the drive.

  I saw an exchange of views on the reverse (CSEL M/S, new old) and some solutions for this case, but I have not seen all the comments on my problem.

  My guess is that the drive is configured as a slave and the BIOS is not able to recognize in this position. If so, the question would be if there is a way to configure the drive M/S to act as a master.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It will be very interesting to know what unit of Toshiba you have. As far as I know, the drive is already set to slave, but I put now on exactly the position of the rider. However, take a look on the label which is located on the drive. You can find a picture how to affect the small rider master or slave.

  Best regards

• SP2100 CD-ROM not recognized

  Suddenly my CD (Teac) is no longer recognized.
  Message in Device Manager - properties:
  Windows has loaded the driver in memory, but can not find the device (Code 41)
  With an external DVD-writer/CD-ROM (HP) on USB and Firewire, I get the same message.
  Starting fron CD is also not possible.
  Any suggestions?
  Paul

  Hello

  41 code means that the driver has been installed successfully, but the material was not found!

  Normally, the material is damaged with this error message, but your external drive has got the same message!
  So, there is a deeper problem with the support of CD player!

  If you set a system point before occure failure for the first time of restoration, start the System Restore tool and return to this point!

  Then it should work again! Otherwise post again!

  HI Paul,.

  I think that your first priority will be to remove the virus from your laptop. The following link contains the virus details: -.

  You are shown in the BIOS to CD-ROM? If yes then set to be the first selectable boot device and you should be able to load your recovery disk and restart it.

• Satellite M40X - DVD drive is not recognized

  I bought a new satellite pro m40x yesterday and today everything worked fine but today the dvd and cd rom is not recognized more. I don't know about cell phones, what can I do? I don't want to return it to Toshiba and wait 4 weeks to get it back.
  My son needs the notebook the week next to the school.

  Hi Christine,

  Please check in the Device Manager to see if there's anything showing against your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM is always displayed, you should be able to run the process of troubleshooting against it to check for possible errors.

  If your CD-ROM is more listed and then launch the 'Scan for hardware changes' option to see if it detects your CD-ROM.

  I have a problem, my dvd burner is not recognized by external programs such as Ace CD Burner or CdBurnerXP. I can burn DVDs and CDs in windows, but I want the added functionality of these external programs.

  I searched on the site of toshiba for updated drivers, but there are none, and Googling TSSTCORP CDDVDW Ts - l633P Ata Device (this is what is listed under my CD-ROM in Device Manager) gives no useful result.

  If it's any help the device type is listed as: Dvd/Cd Rom and manufacturer readers is (Standard CD-ROM drives)

  All do you know of any other driver that I can use to make accessible to other programs? You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Edit: I found the program included Toshiba dvd burner and it recognizes.

• Satellite 2410-601 - drive is not recognized in 'my computer '.

  Hello
  CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
  TEAC DW-224TH-A
  5.1.2535.0 driver version
  If I insert a disk while Windows is loading, it not recognize in my computer. Otherwise, the drive is not recognized in my computer, but I can access the content. Problems occur if I start with a drive that recognizes workstation and then change the drive and computer think it's always the other and problems with AutoPlay.
  My main concern is that the last time this happened he then deteriorated and then the hard drive doesn't quite work and I needed a replacement.
  Is there something I can do? (I could not find a newer driver).
  PS - I own a TOSHIBA Satellite 2410 601.

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  Did you check device manager if the drive is recognized properly?
  Check it out. In addition, you can try to remove the drive from Device Manager.
  After restarting the OS should recognize the drive again.
