• CD DVD drive does not recognize DVD

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5202 in a 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 environment, recently, my DVD burner has the following problems:

  (1) it could read/burn in a CDROM which is equal to or less than the capacity of 700 MB.

  (2) the player can get out of its case, it works properly when I press the button, or you click "Eject" in Windows Explorer.

  (3) he could not recognize 4.7 GB DVDs, this pop-up message "Please insert a disc into drive D".

  (4) when I insert a new blank DVD 4.7 GB disc in the drive, it will appear a dialog as messages below:

  DVD RW Drive (D :)

  (1) burn files to disc

  (2) burn a DVD video disc.

  Select either (1) or (2), it can only fill 90% and it has stopped working.

  I tried to solve the problem of DVD writer is not installed in the Device Manager and restart the computer, it can then read for a few hours, when I tried to burn a DVD, it has stopped working. I uninstalled DVD burner and restart again, this time couldn't even read.

  I tried to download the latest driver for DVD without a bit of luck, can anyone help?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Solution1. Clean the DVD disc

  If your Player cannot detect the DVD disc, the first thing you need to do is to clean the DVD disc. Use a soft and dry cloth (not painted) to wipe the disc from the center of the disc to the edge. Please take care to not to use a paper to clean the disc with a circular motion, it will scratch the disc.

  After cleaning, inert the DVD on the drive to see if it works, if the reader can't read the disc, use a cloth of cotton wet with water or alcohol to clean the disc. After the disc dry, inert re the disc on the drive. If the reader can read, the operation is complete. If this isn't the case, please turn to the option2.

  Option2. Check the disc to see if it has been damaged

  Draw the DVD from the drive and check if there are some scratches or small cracks on the disc. If the disc is damaged, please try another DVD disc to see if the drive can read. If the drive cannot recognize the new disk, there could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. Please turn to solution 3.

  Open the drive to check if the DVD reader accumulates dust and dirt, if so, the cold air from the hair dryer allows you to clean the inside of the DVD drive. Be sure to not blow on the optical sensor orally, or clean it with a cloth of cotton with water or alcohol. After cleaning, insert a DVD disc on the drive to see if it works. If still no, you need to call the s command customer service or take the reader to a computer repair shop.

• Satellite A300 - how to use the recovery with external DVD drive disc?

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 d

  FTM the tsscorp drive that is installed in the camera no longer works (does not detect any type of media what so ever). ) need to recover the laptop, so I used a USB DVD drive to boot from the restore disc, but after that the charges of recovery console it says waiting for media in the f: drive, which is the tsscorp drive although I used an external drive to load the disc.

  What files should I edit to make it to load from the drive externally and if this isn't the solution, what do I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to use the recovery with external CD/DVD drive disc. Therefore, place the internal for use the recovery disc.
  You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.

  But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

• The CD/DVD drive does not read discs

  Hi, I have a COMPAQ Presario CQ40 with optiarc DVD RW AD - 7561 ATA Device driver, recently the drive does not work properly. It can read and burn the disc, that I already used, but when it's a new (disc white) it does not read the disc.  It has an error message "make sure that the disc uses a format windows recognizes. If the drive is not formatted, you must format it before you use it. "the disc is the format that would recognize the system.  I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled from the Device Manager, but nothing works, tried too much microsoft fixit, always the same.  Hope that there is another work around here... Thank you...

  Have you tried using other burning software?

• 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.

  Well I have not tried to play anything or anything either burning on my laptop in a while and all of a sudden is not working more I followed suggestions on the microsoft site, but when I went into Device Manager to check on my drive anywhere it lists same CD-ROM/dvd-rom I'm so confused, I don't know what I tried to use microsoft not fixed and it's just as stuck as I am all he tells me it is than its disconnected or missing and cannot be found.

  Oh and while I'm asking questions my sound stopped working a few months back the small volume in the lower right corner icon has an 'x' next to him now and he says: no audio output device is installed, I tried following the suggestions online for this with no luck either.
