  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  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. 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 loose 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 make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  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.

  Hope these helps.

• Replace the DVD drive with lightscribe on Satellite M60

  Is it possible to buy a lightscribe for the M60 dvd drive replace a normal drive. I have a lot of videos that I made more certain that I bought and I transfer them to DVD, it would also be useful to label the disks that hold backups and plans that we use. I prefer the direct info disc rather then print the labels and stick them onto the disc printing. I can do the work myself if I get hold of the drive and the driver.
  There is still a lot more left life warranty Toshiba in the machine and I am reluctant to update. I have two other M60s in my office and they gave very good service.

  Thank you Russell.

  Hello

  If you take the risk that your warranty would be voided and you find a compatible player then do it. Sorry, but if I were you, I would buy an external USB-DVD/RW lightscribe capabilities. It s fast enough and he would support lightscribe that you need.

  It's the only option I'd choose, but I would´t screws my machine during the warranty only for some purposes "DVD-labeling"...

• Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

  Virgin, excused my English ;)
  I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
  0203: failure IDE #2
  Is it possible to remove this message?

  Hello

  As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

  In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

  Good bye

• replace the dvd drive pavillion 1157

  The DVD in my HP Pavilion p7 player - 1157c is having a problem reading the CD/DVD, once they are placed in the drawer.  That's what I've done so far:

  • I reinstalled the cables although they were not cowards.
  • Uninstalled the DVD driver and restarted the computer and Windows 7 64 b reinstalled the driver.

  The drawer will always open and close and makes normal sounds when you first insert a CD, but it stops after a few seconds.

  After that these things did not work, I decided to buy a replacement for the CD/DVD drive last night and went to install it this morning but it seems that the power supply works in the way and I can't get the DVD player.   Y at - it something for the old DVD out without removing the power supply?   I'm usually not mechanically challenged but this has me confused.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The optical drive can be removed at the front of the PC - see the guide on the following link.

• CD-ROM error at the start after replacing the DVD drive - Qosmio F20-574

  OK, so I have a Toshiba Qosmio F20/574 and I am trying to replace the factory DVD player (TEAC DV-W28E) with a Liteon DS-8A1P (f/w CX12). With or without a DVD Im reader get a CD-ROM error at startup. The only time where what I don't get, is when I start with the factory DVD player.

  Here are the things I've tried...
  -Cleared CMOS memory
  -Remove the bezel to ensure his grip at bottom
  -l' utility EEPROM set the drive to slave.
  -tested the portable player in another
  -uninstalled the factory dvd player via the Device Manager and tried to boot with the new dvd drive

  Here are the things that I found bizarre...
  -in the BIOS (BIOS 1.30 ACP) under IO device, it shows the hard drive and cd, but it is not listed by name, his watch only the IRQ of the primary and secondary IDE controller (integrated drive HARD IDE primary (1F0H/IRQ14), CD-ROM (170 H/IRQ15) secondary IDE). This does not change, even if I start without a DVD player.
  -There is no update available for this laptop BIOS. It is a Toshiba of the Japan and the Ive tried using Qosmio F20 BIOS 1.40 to another region, but this does not work.
  -I can't find a firmware for the Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17) update

  I can't think of anything to try. I really need help! Any ideas?

  I'm afraid that you are using the optical disc drive not compatible and there is nothing you can do. Check it please s user guides document for your model of laptop and you will find a list of all compatible ratings.

  Hello

  I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. It seems that the DVD player does not use the standard format of pins SATA for hard drives, rather than use a slightly smaller connection. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?

  Any help appreciated,

• Changing settings with Dell Media Direct

  Is there a way to change Media Direct so that when a video is loaded, it does not automatically open upward? I try to use Picture Motion Browser from Sony but says that my drive is used by another program, which turned out be Media Direct. If I remove the program for Media Direct, I'll be able to download it again? Thank you very much.
