Hello everyone.

My computer is a tailor-made machine, and I've had this drive for dvd - rw Optiarc AD-7240 s in it for a little over a year now.  Recently, the drive stopped reading media, but is still recognized by the machine.  Double click on the drive in my computer path train the reader to open, so I know not it does not respond, but nothing I have insert it will read.  I have tried to update the drivers, completely uninstall the drivers and let windows update automatically, I checked the cables inside the PC, nothing seems to work.  Please help and thank you.

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

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

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

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

do it right.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

    games it that either won't start at all or with world of warcraft for example installs the first disc very well and when I go to the second it stops dead and will not work without lights on the disk. It is not the cause of discs, I have a second identical computer and the drive that a disc install perfectly.

    read and write dvd/rw worked well in the past have not tried recently (I backup important images, website etc. files on the disk and always worked previously.) I now use a usb flash.

    the details are below:

    driver date 21/06/2006 (never had always used the disk those installed by windows, do not know where to find those to update if there is, windows says Joana re updated.)

  • Satego X 200 - 21 d: drive DVD TS-L632D is not read and burn DVD-R DL

    Hallo,

    I have problems with my DVD SATEGO X 200 - 21 d
    TS-L632D read a burn only DVD-R DL discs.
    I contacted Toshiba support via e-mail and asked
    for a new disk firmware, but the answer did not solve my problem.

    There are only updates in the download area of toshiba,
    but not for my car model. I can send my laptop
    for the money to a service partner, to check this problem.

    I do not understand this! I bought a laptop upscale
    for 1,700 EUROS and there is no support for the update of the firmware
    available to solve problems with newer drives?

    If I get this problem in the WEB, there is an a large number of
    questions and problems with playback and engraving
    Discs DVD-R DL with this drive model!
    How is it possible?

    I hope for some advice to get an update of the firmware player
    to solve the problems of reading and writing DVD - R DL discs.

    Janni J. Gettings of Germany

    Hello

    I found the update of the firmware on the European driver Toshiba page!

    Satego X 200 - 21 d seems to belong to the PSPBEE and the Toshiba page provides the update of the firmware to TO02.
    It s for the TS-L632 reader.

    But generally not all CD or DVD of all manufacturers is fully supported.

    My knowledge of the user manual should provide a details and info on compatible and tested media.
    Using recommended media, you can be sure they will be compatible and will work 100%.

    Check your computer manual or support web site to find the emergency disk eject function and use.  So do not put the drive back.  :-)

  • QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242 won't read DVD or BURN a CD (music CD will PLAY) [AFTER the HD FORMAT and re - install}

    Dell Inspiron5100 WinXP SP3.

    Due to malware, I had to FORMAT my HD and re-install Windows XP OEM disc.  I also reinstalled WIN DVD4 from the OEM disc that came with the laptop.

    Check SYSTEM/DeviceMGR/material indicates a problem with the drive, but: it won't READ a DVD or burn a CD (which she has done before)

    Can't update anything of QSI as they were absorbed by COREL years.  No support available for WINDVD4

    When you try to run WINDVD4 with a DVD in the drive, I get a Popup of WINDVD screen that says:

    CREATE OVERLAY FAILED-Please lower your color depth or screen resolution and try again.  Of course, it worked fine with the reg settings in the past, now Ive tried even lower TWO the RES SCREEN and color at least registered but still does not work

    It WILL play CDs of music (mp3s)

    Found the following material etc.

    I installed and ran but it won't play MICROSOFT 'FIXIT' DVDs just run from WINDVD4 and still does not.

    FIXIT now brings me HERE

    It seems that FORMAT/reinstall has missed something the will allow the CD PLAYER of .1BURN and 2. READ the DVD, but allows you to PLAY CDs

    Response

    Hello

    1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

    After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

    I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

    on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

    2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

    Not nothing... He's here

    3. How do you try to burn CDs?

    MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

    4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

    I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

    Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

    I did the entire bottom.

    1. click on Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

    2 click on the hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    3 right-click on the CD-RW/DVD drive, and then select set to update driver.

    He asks if I have an OEM driver and / disk... NO.. I run the program through...

    "Hardware update Wiz can not find a better match the software installed"

    4. right click on the graphics card and select Update driver. »

    There is no "graphics card" on the material.  This machine has integrated graphics using a part of the main memory (or other) to run the video section:

    I find:

    AUDIO, VIDEO and GAME controllers (announcement)

    Audio codecs

    Audio drivers

    Legacy video capture device

    Media control devices

    Audio Sigma

    Video codecs

    All this seem normal but above I see YELLOW TWO warnings under 'OTHER DEVICES '.

    ?!  Ethernet controller "drivers for this divide (code28) is not installed.

    ?! VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA Compatible) I didn't HAVE NO IDEA if THIS if APPLIES OR NOT

    Device type - other devices

    MFG-unknown

    Location PCI bus, device 0, function 0.  "Drivers for this device are not installed, CODE28 to reinstall the driver."

    Has been through the usual (request for drive... Laughing out loud. Impossible to beat")

    How to troubleshoot common problems that occur when a Windows XP-based computer cannot read a CD or DVD

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321641

    Did yesterday.  It installed/ran "MR. Microsoft Fixit' with the result:

    "Question: media in the CD-RW/DVD drive is not readable" CLICKED top DIFFICULTY... and after computer "worked" on this subject awhile, he says STATUS: fixed.  St ill did not.   MP9 introduced the format of the DVD player but don't seem to read anything other then showing a list:

    UNKNOWN

    Title 1

    Title2

    Title 3 etc., but could not do anything with this list.

    He appeared a box asking if I wanted to update my MP9... sure why not so I shut everything down and uninstalled 9 and installed Media player 11.

    Go BACK to # 1. now once again.  This is where I am.  MP11 shows all DVD data, the chart "the Album/DVD cover, all"titles"on the DVD, AND play the track audio 'intro' DVD but will not actually READ the DVD. "

    So far it's PROGRESS.  We are at a point where it SEEMS at least that we are ready to PLAY and MP can SEE all the info on the DVD.

    I see many people on other sites of the same question: Player does not work after FORMAT operating system and reinstall of WIN (and in my case: WinXP SP3 and WIN DVD4 of OEM disc)

    Thanks a lot for your help so far... I hope that we can get to the next step and get the reader of CD-RW/DVD on 'PLAY '.
