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

My DVD/CD RW drive will not respond to CDs of any type, void, audio or data.  It whirs for a few seconds and then more nothing.  No AutoPlay (even if she is selected and in the registry as a value of 1), and if I try to click on the drive, the old hourglass stand forever and if I click on new does not, unless I have the disc, it erases then back to normal.

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.

Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

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

This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
a shot.

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
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.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

drive from someone with the same model.

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  • Satellite M30X-165: Mat * a UJ - 831 S is not read and write any DVD

    Hello

    the next problem is sticky on the laptop Satellite M30X 165 with the burner Mat * a UJ - 831 S: it can read and write CDs, but is not able to write them to DVD or even read some of the ones I've burned and also read in the same drive. Even at the start of the DVD, it does not start from the recovery DVD, the player starts and slows down very quickly.
    Without doubt, it must be put at the service of repair or someone has other suggestions?

    Could you please tell me how long the repair takes (I know what it takes to install the desktop temporarily used).

    Hi Wade

    The fact is that readers cannot read all cd or dvd media.
    You should first check different media from different manufacturers.
    As far as I know, you should find a list with the media CD and DVD tested and supported in the user manual.

  • 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.

  • When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

    When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

    Hi deaza,.

    Ø Have you connected the USB hard drive to the computer directly or you have used an external USB hub to connect?

    O trying to connect to another USB port to check if it works?

    O the hardrive shows in windows of the computer when you connect it?

    Method 1:
    If you have installed security software, I suggest you to temporarily disable the security software and connect the USB and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable the security software after checking.

    Alternatively, you can try to plug the USB key into a different USB port and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    I suggest trying to launch hardware and troubleshooting of devices and check to see if it helps, here is the link:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-to-do-when-a-device-isn ' t-installed-correctly

    Method 3:
    If this does not help, then follow these steps:

    (a) remove all your USB devices. Use the safely remove the feature to turn them off.

    (b) open Device Manager and navigate to the section for USB. Uninstall all USB drives. There should be one for each USB port, and then restart.

    To open Device Manager, go to the link below and follow the steps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

    (c) Windows should re - find all of the devices. If it is not the case, note the error message and let us know.

    You can also navigate to the link below and follow the steps to install the USB device.

  • Satellite L670-112 - SSD slow read and write speed

    Hello.
    I put 120 GB SATA III SSD kingston (read and write above 500 MB/S), but when I run the sequential test I get 150 MB/S read and 107 MB/S in writing. I know SATA II limitation, so should not write and read nearly 300 MB/S?

    Yes, it should at least reach SATA II speeds (close to 270 MB/s).

    Most SSD's 4K sector drives you may need to realign the 512 to 4K sectors using a partition alignment tool (I think that WD have one available).

  • How to read and write attributes using the API?

    I'm trying attributes of access (read and write) of the following:

    SequenceFile

    Sequence

    The sequence steps

    When you look at the documentation of the API, TestStand, the following functions are available:

    PropertyObject

    Properties

    Attributes (read-only)

    HasAttributes (read-only)

    Methods

    DisplayAttributesDialog

    I tried to use the SetValString and GetValString commands using the reference of the attributes, but it does not seem that the data is stored in the file.

    I can't find the following information in the TestStand API:

    1. Where the attributes are stored in a property object?

    2. How can we access through the API?

    No advice and no information is appreciated!

    You must increment the number of changes to the file after that editing the sequence editor (or UI) won't refresh or mark the file, as amended. Use sequenceFile.AsPropertyObjectFile (). IncChangeCount().

    SequenceFile attributes are stored in the SequenceFile.Data, not the object of SequenceFile object. You can change them in the Advanced tab of the properties of the file sequence dialog box.

    Hope this helps,
