DVD drive does not appear on my Satellite Pro A300

Hello

I just took delivery of a Toshiba Satellite A300 under Vista Home Premium. I can't find the DVD drive when I goto it and even I can not access the disk drive for loading software, DVD etc.

When I had first the machine DVD player was working fine, but after trying to load TV Pinnacle and SimCity4 tuner it stopped working and is no longer present in my computer.
Any help would be appreciated

  • Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

    The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
    The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

    This means that the CD device is dead?

    Hey Micky,

    Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

    Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  • My DVD drive does not appear in Windows Explorer

    This morning my computer ran a scan virus and other things, and when this was done, my computer will not respond to any type of CD.  No DVD, CD or even disks with files stored on them.
    When I open windows Explorer, the drive from DVD (e) is not even more appear.  I was wondering how to fix this.

    Hello

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose 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.

    Hope these helps.

  • DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

    I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
    It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
    The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

    I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

    Please give me the solution.

    Hello

    Please check if the CD/DVD drive is listed in Device Manager.
    If it s listed, then it means that ODD has been recognized by the Windows operating system.

    In this case, try this;
    -Remove the STRANGE to the list of devices.
    -remove the filters above and below of this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    -Reboot the laptop

    Usually, this helps.

  • CD/DVD drive does not appear in Windows 8

    My CD/DVD drive no longer appears in Windows Explorer in point 8.1 of Windows on my desktop HP Pavilion Slimline 400-034. The disc rotates during startup. I tried the troubleshooting of Microsoft Window 8 with no luck. I would try the HP troubleshooting which requires access BIOS when booting, but by pressing F10 at startup me does not BIOS but Windows load normally. Any suggestions to at least help me get the BIOS?

    Solved! No. thanks to HP. Even if I had never opened the file on my PC and make sure that the cable DVD could not be disconnected, I decided to look for. Much to my surprise, he has been disconnected - but not by me - by a HP technician. I remembered that I had to return the PC to HP to replace the power supply warranty in June 2014. Not only have they not reconnect the cable SATA DVD, they put the cable from the hard drive in the MB connector where the DVD cable was supposed to be. After trial and error and insert the DVD cable in the 3 open SATA connectors with no luck, and finally move the cable from the hard drive to another connector and put the cable DVD where the cable from the hard drive was, the DVD has been recognized by Windows and working correctly. Thanks to HP for the many hours I lost to try to correct their mistake.

  • Aspire 5740g and the dvd drive does not appear in 'my computer '.

    I had to have a new installed hard drive I got an error message saying old default disk.

    I also had a clean install of windows 7 that I was uncertain if my discs that I created would be ok.

    So I have not all the gifts that have been installed on the laptop like new. Now, I find that the dvd drive is not displayed in my computer and nothing happens when I insert the disc.

    This has happened a couple of days and I did a restore of the system to a previous restore point.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

    I also do not have the secure egis - any ideas how to get this back

    Then... your DVD is probably defective.

    did you check in the BIOS if it is listed on bootable devices?

    Press F2 at startup, if it is not listed, it is defective.

  • My CD/DVD drive does not appear as a drive on your computer with other readers. All points of restoration before March 1 are gone. How can I fix it?

    I have windows vista Home premium OS on a Dell Inspiron 530.  Some time previously, autorun would not work, but I could open the program manually.  Who has also disappeared.  The drivers are later and Device Manager shows the drive works properly.

    I also have a problem importing pictures from my camera even though I reinstalled the whole program.  When I try to download, I get a screen showing the camera as a storage device.  No way to get around.

    All points before March 1 of restoration, have disappeared.

    I've used RegZooka.  If I have damaged registry, how can I restore it?  If I open REGEDIT it opens directly onto the CD/DVD key.

    After upgrading windws vista to windows 7, I can't find cd/dvd drive in my computer (sony vaio) .plz I can do to fix this?

    Hello Rash0411,

    Thank you for your message.  First start by going to your computer manufacturer's website and download/install the latest driver for your device.  We will check the following:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on Device Manager.
    Expand "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" (you see a yellow!, or you see your drive at all?)
    If you don't see any of your drive, you may need a bad connection of your drive power to the motherboard or power.
    Please let us know.

  • DVD drive does not burn/erase RS - Satellite P100-347

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite p100-347 PSPA6E laptop computer. It has a DVD burner with model number: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N (firmware pt06). It has capabilities to burn any DVD (please see example using dvdino: http://tinyurl.com/2hbpqv).

    However, I can't rewrite on my Maxell dvd + rw (1.4 x speed) dvd. whenever I go to a software application to erase a dvd that I wrote on, it says unrecognized format. For example, Nero says "this disc is not rewritable and therefore can not be deleted. Please insert a rewritable disc.

    The disc is rewritable because it says on the cover and also it burns on my friends rewritable dvd burner :(

    Please can anyone help:(je suis vraiment coincé et il serait beaucoup aprécié)

    Hello

    As you probably know, readers don t support all kinds of media.
    I mean not every CD - R, DVD - RW, CD + RW, DVD + RW, and so on, average is supported.
    I can confirm these issues in my practical knowledge I tested for several months and many media, I use the TDK on my laptop and only CD or DVD media.
    They work best with my drive...

    But I'll give you a tip:
    You should remove other software burning like sonic, etc if you use Nero. The joint software sometimes makes trouble.
