DVD/CD burner is not recognized by XP on my Satellite Pro U300

I just bought a Toshiba U300 Satellite Pro with Vista installed :-(.

For my work, I need to use software that is not compatible with Vista... so I installed my XP - pro software.
I ran Windows Update a few times, until there is nothing to update.
I installed all the drivers on the Toshiba site.
I've updated the BIOS.

Everything seems to work, butX-(the DVD writer is recognized as "UNIDAD DVD-RAM (e :))"
XP just a READER of CD/DVD, not recognize... a WRITER and I am absolutely sure that he's a WRITER, because I used it on Vista to burn a bootable cd.

Someone knows what to do?

Hello

I think that this can be resolved very easily.
Go to the properties of the CD/DVD (right click > properties), select the tab called record.
There, you must activate the option called CD (mark) activate recording.

By the way; have you tried to use a burning like Nero for example software?
Check it!

  • Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

    History:

    I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

    IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

    IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

    I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

    The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

    How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

    I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

    This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

    However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

    Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
    Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

    For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro U300 OS does not recognize PS/2 Port TouchPad

    I have a similar problem.

    My system doesn't recognize that the PS/2 Port TouchPad exists on my Satellite Pro U300. He acknowledges that it no longer works but when I go to Control Panel then mouse it does not appear in the list of devices.

    Help!

    Hello

    I m do not know what problem describe you exactly.
    Do you mean that your notebook computer touchpad no longer works, or did you mean the USB mouse?

    If you mean touchpad, so you should try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad.
    The European driver Toshiba page provides Synaptics touchpad drivers series Pro U300 for Win XP and Vista.
    But generally the operating system should automatically recognize the touchpad and touchpad should work even using the common internal Windows driver.

    Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

    Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
    Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

    If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

    By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

  • Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD burner does not burn audio and video files

    Hello

    I have the Satellite Pro A120 with a cd/dvd burner MAT * a uj-8415. It works very well with data Brüning, but...

    When you try to burn the MP3 files or video files on DVD or CD/r or any type of audio file, it suddenly gives me an error message telling me that the cd can no longer be used.

    I tried hole Sonic (RecordNow), through Nero 6, and also directly by dragging and dropping files, but all was in vain. This MATI * a uj-8415 machine has also made the same error while burning a DVD double layer.

    Again, the unit reads all types of CD and DVD and writes also all types of files with the exception of the audio and video.

    Can you help me please to solve this problem?

    Hello

    I know that some mp3 files and audio are protected against copying and burning on different CDs or DVDs so could not work? ¦

    Other reasons why you can't write these files to CD or DVD is simply a problem of compatibility between the STRANGE and the CD or DVD.
    According to my experience, not all CD or DVD is supported, and these compatibility issues are not really rare.

    I also have another idea.
    Have you heard of burning of problems caused by the bad registry entry? I mean the upper and lower filters...

    Please check this doc MS:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

    Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    .. .and see if it helps.

  • Recently burned CD not recognized by several cd players

    Since I got my Dell computer (several years), I have burned many cd successfully.  The only problem I've had in the past was Windows Media to get the names of the titles of the albums/songs.  I tried to fix it but failed and he gave up. Everything I burned was considered to be an 'unknown '.

    In the last two weeks, I have burned dozens of CDs that will not play on two of my cd players.  All my other cd played on them without problems.  Only one or two things that happened recently during this period.

    1. When you try to play a disc on windows support, that is, 'now playing', he would give me a message "SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE - FAILED DNS server is unable to respond to your request.  Please try again later.  And then he gives me a reference number which changes whenever I get the message.  I always get the desired album to play because they will show up on the playlist and play.

    2. because I've never been able to have the name of the part of the album/songs from my cd, they always rip to 'unknown '.  For this reason, if I was not burning right now, I would be left with selections mesh of different albums torn, making the process of burning a jumble.  So I have always ripped and burned one at a time.  Recently, even if it is apparently back return once again, files ripped in 'Unknown' to a real album CALLED "Unknown" under "U".  This led to several torn albums with the title 'unknown '.

    In any case, I accidentally discovered this problem.  I did most of my listening to the cd burned ON my computer with Windows Media and even the SERVICE UNAVAILABLE message whenever I chose "now playing", I could play without problem.  Then I took some of these new CDs engraved and tried to play on two of my old cd players that have had no problem playing all my other cd burned I received an error message, or more frequently, a message 'no disc', which let assume that perhaps these recent cd does not close properly.  The question is, how can I avoid this does not happen and is it possible that I can somehow 'save' those who are now unplayable by encouraging some kind of close "after the fact".  I thought I had found a way to take one of these CDs and put in back in my computer and causing it to close properly but now I don't know how I did apparently operate.  If she already burned but not closed, how can I position it so that it can close.  Just put it in the computer and eject manually (when these CDs were burned the computer was set to "automatic ejection".

    That's all.  I have a LOT of recently burned cd that WILL play on my computer (even with the weird error message) and on my player connected to my TV, but not dvd will NOT play on one of my two stereo cd players... I receive messages of "no disc".

    Ed (confused)

    Hello Eddill,

    I have also experienced this problem in the past. For me, it had to do with the brand of CD I burned.
    Have you tried using a different brand of CD in to see if the drive is still not detected by some players?
    I would also burn the disc at a slower speed. If you burn at full speed, some older CD players sometimes have trouble reading the discs.

  • Bay DVD replace HARD drive not recognized by Windows

    I have a 7737 with the 256 GB SSD, but I wanted more storage internally and was not too annoyed to have DVD - so I bought a caddy and replaced the optical drive with a WD Scorpio Black 750 GB drive.

    When I went into administration - computer management - disk management tools, he acknowledged that the drive was there because he told me that he needed reprogramming - so I went ahead and let him. The disc quickly disappeared from the list, and I can't do anything that he can come back.

    I tried to refresh, rescan the drives, restart (how can I confirm the BIOS recognizes the drive correctly, as the "SATA ODD', but Windows still refuses to acknowledge that he is here.) Device Manager displays only the SSD and scanning for hardware changes have no effect.

    Maybe it's a coincidence, but now my laptop seems a touch slow, especially in the graphics... and I noticed that in the Task Manager, System interrupts now takes 10 percent of time CPU on average. I can't say that I've never noticed that before. My old Samsung laptop (which has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated card, to be honest) claims system interrupts doesn't take any time at all CPU. This seems to suggest a conflict any exist, and maybe that's why the drive is not recognized?

    Because Device Manager is not see it, I can't check for updated drivers.

    Because disk management can't see, I can't format / partition / assign a drive letter.

    The BIOS does not let me do anything with the drive, go into properties or disable / re-enable, or something like that.

    Can anyone suggest what I might have missed in the configuration, or what I can do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, I can't find a downloadable diagnosis for your laptop. Try Seatools. Seagate website has a download, that you can use to create a CD bootable or flash player to test hard drives.

    I just want to see if a tool outside Windows can detect the drive and all the problems.
