drive does not recognize CD - R

I have a HP Pavilion m8067c. Vista ultimate 32-bit, Roxio creator 2010. My dvd Lightscribe supermulti drive does not recognize CD - R discs. It will be label a lightscribe disc but ask to install a recordable disk with a new disk in the drive. DVD - r works fine. It started by not to recognize some CD, but now it doesn't recognize none. I check the properties and it shows the disc are full. If I try to format the drive, it gives the message that the disk is write protected. I tried to uninstall the driver and restart but still the same.

Hello res04n70, it is possible the CD laser has become defective or even dirty, since you mentioned, he began to act gradually upward. The DVD has a separate laser. This may explain why the DVD works as it should.

Ypu can consider replacing the DVD drive, because they are pretty cheap now. Some brand DVD players can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD.

Here a link to NewEgg is where some of these players can be found.

Just some thoughts.

  • External CD drive does not recognize the CD burned on El Capitan.

    Using El Capitan 10.11.5 and an external hard drive, I have burned successfully mp3 files iTunes CD - I can play on the computer itself - but an external CD drive does not recognize, even if the Player recognizes the discs once engraved on Snow Leopard and previous models.  What's wrong? I burn "at the fastest possible speed," as I have always done.

    What CD format?  If you burn it to a CD mp3 this is not very common for a standard CD player to be able to read those.  You may have burnt the other CD audio CD format.

  • Satellite M60-155: drive does not recognize DVD

    The multidrive on my laptop does not recognize DVD-he just turns and clicks.

    It recognizes the CD tho. I've had this problem before, but did not pick up the CD player and it plays DVDs.
    I managed to solve this last time, but I do not remember how.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Don't you remember how you solved the problem? ?:|
    Hmm, very strange.
    However, I think that it s a problem of calibration of lens of the drive.
    The lens can not be calibrated properly and that's why the drive cannot read the media.

    Have you tried to remove the drive from the laptop? If this is not the case, try to remove it. Then start without the drive. Then shut off the unit. Reinstall the drive and start the laptop. The firmware should take over again and maybe the lens is calibrated in the right position.

    You can also try to clean the lens gently. But if the whole points will not help you may need to replace the drive

  • CD/DVD drive does not recognize the DVD media disc.

    Greetings,

    Had problems with my CD/DVD drive not being able to recognize that a DVDmovie disc is in the drive.

    I tried to turn on/off, reinstalled the driver, update the driver, check if AutoPlay is enabled (currently set to invite me) and have used the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting system which could not solve the problem.

    I am able to burn data and audio files on CD/DVD very well, it will read the same types without problems.  But whenever a DVDmovie disc is, it does not recognize, there is a disc in the drive, or Autoplay hit.

    Also clean the laser lens with isopropyl alcohol.

    Thoughts?

    Honestly, I had not checked immediately after I cleaned the lens, but it works now.  I am convinced that cleaning the lens resolved.

    I had posted this, and then read somewhere else to clean the lens, has made, edited my post saying I had it done and then tried a DVD and it worked.

  • My DVD drive does not recognize DVD game discs.

    My NEC ND-4550-reader DVD - RW does not recognize DVD game discs.
    He has no problem reading movie DVDs and music CDs or access data CD and DVD burnt with data on them.
    I removed and let XP Reinstall the device and high-low filters removed the registry etc nothing works.
    I made a copy of a DVD game on another PC and it is recognized and install my PC.
    All DVD discs work very well on the other PC.
    I am running Windows XP Professional with SP2.
    MS Fixit controls indicate no problems.
    This would be a matter of software protection?
    All tried game DVDs are official records and not copies.
    The NEC ND-4550 uses cdrom.sys as pilot.

    Finally, I replaced the drive for a new one (Pioneer DVR-S18L) and everything now works as it should.
    So I suspect that it's a hardware problem and not one that can be resolved by any of the Windows settings.

    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
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Satellite L50D-B - faulty DVD drive does not recognize discs

    Bought 2 months ago. The reader agrees not the CD, DVD or anything like that.
    The name of the drive does not appear on the disc and if you double click on the DVD drive icon (even if a disc is inserted) the drawer opens and says please insert a disk. I tried several discs are not the issue.

    So far I got technical support where I bought it.
    They said to do a reinstall I did - with the full drive clean. I tried to update the drivers, but the computer insists on the fact that they are later. If I search my model number on the site of Toshiba driver support he gets rejected, and I have no access to (Toshiba) drivers.

    I checked a few other forums and tried the regedit fix, but which is also irrelevant. If no solution is found (and I've lost hours of my life on this subject) then this laptop is going back for a refund and I'll get one who will perform the simple task of playing a DVD.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that you have such a stupid problem with your machine. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    In my opinion you should not waste your time checking and search for some drivers who probably will not help at all.

    Reinstall the original operating system that you have with your machine and test functionality with the factory settings. If the result is the same contact your reseller or Toshiba service provider directly and ask for help. They can check ODD and Exchange if necessary.

  • DVD - RAM on my Equium A100 (PSAAQE) drive does not recognize CD - R discs

    Thanks in advance

    I should try the following steps:

    First, you must remove the drive from the Device Manager and restart the laptop. After you restart the operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) again.

    Then, open the registry and delete the upper and lower filters of the key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
