  Hey derizz,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  If you cannot copy files normally, try to copy guest rather using Xcopy command.

  1. click on start, principally made programs, click Accessories and then right-click on command prompt, click Run as administrator.
  2. type the following command line and press ENTER. In the command line, drive is the letter of the CD drive or DVD drive.

  xcopy drive:-*. * /s > c:\test1

  See if that helps to successfully copied the files on your hard drive.

• Pavilion Touchsmart 17-e123cl: reading a VOB file on the disc is pixelated and its so strange, but from the dvd is ok.

  Hello

  I have a laptop of 17-e123cl Pavilion Touchsmart with installed PowerDVD12.  If I play the videos from the drive VDV plays it very well, but if I copy the DVD to the hard drive and try to play there the image has a lot of large blocks and horizontal bars in the picture and the sound is messed up.  Since the HARD drive is a 1 5400 to disc it should be even faster than the DVD player, but it looks like that is the question.  Is there any other driver that I need to get things working correctly from the hard drive?  When I travel, I can't bring DVD in some countries, but the movies on the hard drive are not a problem (normally).  Same thing happens if copied to a flash drive.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Rick

  Hello

  Yes, this is the problem because they are two different file systems/structures. Normally you rip the DVD to a correct video file format and view on your computer. Please try:

• writing cd Rw but not rw dvd .plz read the full message

  Hello Sir,

  I bought this laptop used at a local retailer, the hp compaq nc6400 model. Windows 7 installed on it. but the problem is that it writes CD RW but some DVD RW reading and does not not save. I tried to understand as far as I can tell, it's a combo drive because when there is no disc inside the icon on the cd shows DVD/CD RW E: drive, so to the best of my intellect, I understand that it is hopfully a combo drive. I also read the manual, even is written there. so, please guide me that how I can write DVD RW on my system and how I can confirm with certainty that my drive is a combo drive, not just a cd re writable? I read the question already posted to this topic and the answer too, but I don't want to use nero I would write using windows and the said method in windows help that is, dragging the files first. Please answer as soon as possible.

  Thanks a lot for your concern.

  You need to check the capabilities of the car - there are a good number of readers out there that read and write CDs but play only DVDs and impossible to write about them.  Compaq web site should be able to tell or you can get the brand/model number of the drive from Device Manager and do a Google search.

• Error copying file or folder: cannot read the source file or disk.

  My problem occurs when you try to copy on the same computer I am on (or to a remote drive).  I get one of these messages in the dialog "error copying file or folder.

  box:

  Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
  Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.

  Hey Norton victim,
  
  (a) what is your operating system?
  (b) what program file you are not able to copy?
  
  As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.
   
  This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).
   
  I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.
   
  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
   
  Chkdsk /r
   
  Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

• v125W 16 GB USB Flash Drive reporting disk full when moving some files

  Let me apologize in advance if I put this topic in the wrong forum!

  Hi all! I received a v125w 16 GB USB Flash Drive for Christmas (link). Works just fine until I went to move some files .iso to DVD on it so that I can transfer them on my netbook to watch while I'm away from home for long periods of time. in any case.

  The .iso files are standard DVD rips of discs I own, so the question of the integrity of the hacking or file is not a problem here. The .iso files work very well on my desktop, I can be read and can also burn backups without a hitch.

  Each .iso file is at 4.35 concerts after a tear. When I try to drag and drop them on the flash drive, windows tells me that the destination disk is full and I need to free up space. I get this message, even when there is absolutely no other files on the flash drive.

  I put the .iso file into a new empty folder and tried to move in this way, but it gives me the same results. So I threw a bunch of other files in a folder (any of my .iso files) and got 7 concerts in total. He moved very well in the flash player.

  I ripped a DVD of my son and the resulting file is 3.28 GB in size. I can move this .iso on the FlashDrive without problem.

  But now I'm at the end of my rope as to why this is happening and what to do now. It has no sense to me at all. If someone here on the Forum could provide some advice on what I need to I would really appreciate it. I prefer not having to sit on hold with HP my entire weekend.

  Which disc format is your USB drive formatted in? (FAT, FAT32 or NTFS)  Fat you are limited to 4 GB.

• Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Hello

  Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

  Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

  Hope it makes sense.

• Portege Z830: Cannot install Win7, complains about driver CD/DVD

  Hello!

  I have a brand new Portege Z830 and as usual wanted to start by installing a new installation of Windows 7 x 64 (that I don't want the software provided and cannot be trusted, that it is safe in any case). I have saved all of the disk, prepared a flashdisk USB bootable with Windows Setup and it. The flashdisk OK boots, Windows wonder about my language and keyboard, and then shows a screen where I can choose between installation, repair and something else (the Recovery Console, I think).

  I click on install, Windows starts the installation program aand once a first dialog box appears, it displays an error message that basically says (this is a translation of the message from my localized Windows): "a required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you use a driver from the floppy disk, CD, DVD, or the flashdisk, insert now. "And I can't get over this error message. The strange thing is, there is no reason for that Windows requires no additional driver, because he can read the installation flashdisk (apparently) and he can see the ultrabook SSD, too (can be verified as well in the recovery console and clicking the browse of this dialog box). So far I have tried:

  (1) four different Windows 7 images (two of them to MSDN AA, two physical, that have been used successfully to install the OS before).

  (2) switch SATA mode to AHCI Compatible.

  (3) two different flashdisks.

  (4) any combination of the boot order.

  Nothing has worked. I even tried e-mailing of Toshiba, but all messages to return with 'user unknown' (understandable, I had to guess addresses since Toshiba doesn't seem to provide some official way to communicate with them - or is hiding if well I have found it). Does anyone have an idea what I can try next? I rather like the Z830 and I'd love to use it, but the ability to install my own installation of the operating system is essential for me.

  Thanks, Pepak

  > I tried e-mailing of Toshiba...
  Maybe stupid question now, but have you tried to contact Microsoft too? If the BIOS is OK, and if all the USB ports work correctly, I don t think it is Toshiba related issue. Toshiba offers notebook with the original recovery image (WIN7 64-BIT HOME PREMIUM) and ability to create bootable USB stick with the recovery image that can be used when you want.

  What you do now is your own installation of the OS. Toshiba has to do is to offer to all the important factors, download tools and utilities on the drivers page.

  What else could you try? Try to get external USB ODD and trying to install WIN7 using Microsoft installation disc. I'm sure it will work.

• Tecra M10 - 11U - DVD + cannot read & disk partitions

  Hi all

  I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
  (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
  (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
  Is it safe to change the E to D drive

  Nirko

  Hello

  1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
  2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

  Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
  * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*

• Satellite P20: Device DVD Player reads only the DVD but cannot burn CD & DVD

  Hello

  I have a toshiba P20, and I'm having a lot of problems with it. One of them is my DVD UJ811. I don't really know what is happening, the drive was already replaced and a few weeks later, it was exactly like the front, and the service provider made me pay almost 70EUR for a budget of 400EUR rejected.

  I would like to know what really should do, I can't read the CD and I can not burn CD/DVDs, I can just read DVDs, nothing else.

  I have seen some forums on the net, too many people in the world has the same problem I have and I really need to know what is the best solution for me.
  Thank you

  Hello Rafael

  I'm very surprised by your post it here because I've used Satellite P20-303 (a red) about two years. Laptop is now used by my brother and it works perfectly. I don't really know what problems you have, but I never noticed anything suspicious. Up to now I removed the cooling Grill on the bottom twice to clean the unit, and that's all. After that laptop computer cleanup runs a lot more quiet then before.

  Back to ad: I have to be honest and say that I traded with TEAC DV - W22E DVD - rom. original drive was DVD - RW and TEAC DV-W22E DVD-RAM. My brother use it pretty extensively, but until now there is no problem at all.

  I don't really know what the service is doing, but if possible replace the drive TEAC one. I can tell you with certainty, it works very well. Moreover, according to the description of your problem, I am sure that the drive is faulty.
  You can replace one. It's very simple to do.

  It's rather embarrassing, but these days, I found that somehow, the driver for my DVD RAM (Mat * un UJ830s) is somehow damaged or missing.

  I searched high and low on the net to find the right driver to reinstall, but I can't find a single thing.

  Do you mean simply common driver for the carpet * a UJ830s?
  Windows generally use the common Microsoft OS driver and usually you will not find a Toshiba driver for this device.
  OK, on the page you will find a DVD - RAM but it s only for reading and writing to DVD-RAM media.
