  • 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?

    Hello

    Its not unusual for the same problem have an impact on both drives, in fact its very common.

    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 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.

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • Satellite P300 - 1 9 - is not read or write CDs

    I have a new laptop Satellite P300 - 1 9, which has the Pioneer DVRTD08A combo player. (+ Windows Vista, updated firmware and drivers).

    The problem is that he does not read write or see even any CD! When a CD is inserted and as I click on the CD/DVD drive icon in Windows Vista, it makes noise repositioning for a few minutes and then he said: 'no disc '. Tried CD, CD - R and CD - RW Verbatim quality - still...
    At the same time, the disc works with any DVD.
    So I'm not shure, but I guess that should not be a hardware problem (like the lens dirty), I suppose also that is not a problem of filters in the registry, otherwise he would not see all the disks...

    Someone has an idea how solve it?

    > When a CD is inserted and as I click on the CD/DVD drive icon in Windows Vista, it makes noise repositioning for a few minutes and then he said: 'no disc '.

    This problem appears after the update of the firmware or it seemed before?
    What firmware version did you use?
    Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive has been recognized in the BIOS?

    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and there are a few different firmware updates.
    But not all are designed for DVRTD08A.

    The update of the firmware v1.54 was designed for DVRTD08A and these FW Update resolves the error, the STRANGE does not stand on the SATA AHCI mode

    However if the CD/DVD drive is recognized by the BIOS and Windows operating system then this problem could be related to the hardware failure and in this case the material should be checked and replaced if necessary.

  • Dell XPS 600 read/write DVD problem

    My system is a Dell XPS 600 and has a DVD/ROM drive & a DVD RW. The drive works fine, but the DVD RW will not read/write or recognize a disc is inserted. The original drive failed when running normally with WIN XP. I replaced the drive (w/Lite-on SOHW 1633 s), responsible for all the latest drivers, flashed the firmware of the disc and nForce4, changed discs and cables, from Win XP to WIN 64 bit with the same results. The drive won't work, except when I insert the boot disk WIN XP drivers he will read and open the files as it should. Can you help me?

    I think you're right. The new drive is the problem, and I'm going to get another to confirm.

  • HP DVD Writer does not read or write DVD, but only the CD

    My HP DVD 1135t burner does not read or write DVD but only the CD. What is the problem? Please help me.

    CD/DVD players use different lasers for reading/writing DVD from the CD.  All indications would point to your laser DVD as having failed.  You could try to remove your drive and install it in another computer to see if the problem follows your player or your computer, but my bet is that the drive must be replaced.

  • DVD/CD RW do not read audio CDs or data or save a blank CD, but that it's ok to read and write DVDs

    The drive works fine for DVD reading and writing.  I tried to little nearly every thread relating to problems of CD, and I ran out of hair out! I uninstalled it, unplugged, repluged, rebooted, reinstalled, you name it! PC has updated the driver when I try to update.  I did all the advice regedit I saw and still nothing!  Anyone?  Please?

    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.

    A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD 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.
