  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

• Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

  Hello

  I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

  The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

  Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

  What can I do?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  You can do the follwowing:

  Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

  Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

  Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.

• CD player does not read the series Satellite A recovery CD

  Hello

  I have a laptop my father gave to me and I need to restore it before using it for me because it works very slowly.
  I have the restore cd but I have problems with the cd player.
  It does not read some CDs, but it will not read the cd recovery so its as if it is not there.

  Is it possible to restore it without the cd? I'm not very super-friendly up with computers, so please simplify if possible.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Claire.

  You can try to boot from the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  Check if this CD is readable.

  Then you can download the drivers from Toshiba from the European driver Toshiba page and could install the drivers

  A few words about the CD drive problem, it seems that the goal of readers can calibrate in the right position and therefore some CD or DVD is not readable
  In most cases, the CD/DVD drive should be replaced to solve these problems

  See you soon

• Need expert help! CD player does not read the contents of the disc. Help!

  I searched and tried everything what we can imagine and impossible to find a solution. I can also restore because I don't really know this error at startup. Here are the symptoms and fixes I've tried. If there is someone out there who could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
  

  System:, I have XP w/SP3 installed. Dual-Core 3.0 G w / 3G P5N72T - MB Ram, HD 300 G, Asus CD/DVD Drive.

  Symptoms:

  • I had my CD player connected via PATA ribbon cable and my hard drive connected via a SATA cable.
  • My CD player will not autorun when an installation disc is installed.
  • My CD player will not read or display the contents of the disc when I use the file Explorer.
  • My letter of CD drive is D:\ and always appear as one of the discs.
  • When I use the command "run" and type: D:\install or D:\setup a windows "disk is not formatted" error appears stating "Windows is unable to read the disc. The disk might be corrupted or it could be in a form that is not compatible with windows.
  • My Green CD player will sweep on and I can hear it turn every time I try to explore the files or after I insert a disc, but she never autoruns, or displays content.
  • I decided to buy a new SATA CD drive and installed, unfortunately it does not work either exact problems remain.
  • I have two CD drives to another computer and they both work. So I know this isn't the disc or the lens.
  • I ran the utility Microsoft Fix It and she finds nothing wrong.
  • I ran the TweakUI to make safe autoplay features are on.
  • I did all the registry fixes proposed by microsoft and online forums. i.e. upper and lower, filters etc.
  • I removed the device from Device Manager and reinstalled.
  • I ran a virus, spyware, malware, and everything is clean.
  • I have the latest version of the system bios and all settings are fine. Most are on Auto that are associated with the detection.
  • Type of device DMA modes are selected in automatic detection.
  • If I could read a disc that I could try to reinstall windows XP, but it is not an option now until my CD player is fixed!
  • I don't have any installed like Nero buring CD software.
  • I actually installed Nero Light to see if it would read a disc, and of course I can see the disk and copy its content to my hard drive or take an image of the disk.
  • I tried to rename the drive, disconnect the drive.
  • I'm sure I tried other things, but can't remember right now!

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  Hi msavage2000,

  It seems you have tried most of the steps to solve this problem. However, we would like to know if the drive does recognize the drive?

  As we know readers work, I would like you to try a new PATA/IDE cable and check the result.

• CD player does not read the CD

  Original title: Windows Installer 4.5 on a computer laptop gateway running windows7

  I tried several things with windows install 4.5. I even tried sfc/scannow, and who came back under the name of no violation. The only thing I have not tried is the clean utility windows, that will help? Who's going to make me lose all my photos and music and information stored in the school's computer? The reason why I am trying to solve this problem is because the Player reads any of my software cd HP, Polaroid and Microsoft2010?  someone please advise

  Hi fredibar,

  1 are. What utilities you referring?
  2. what exactly is the problem with Windows install?

  As the CD/DVD drive does not read the CD, we need troubleshoot CD player. We do not think that Windows Installer is related to the CD player.

  To fix the CD/DVD read the issue, try the following steps:
  a. see your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media
  b. click Run Now button and run the tool successfully.
  c. restart the computer and check if the CD is read by the CD/DVD drive.

  Hello

  Seems that certain this kind of DVD is not fully compatible with this CD/DVD player
  Sorry, but these issues are not uncommon that you will always encounter discs which are not totally compatible and that the readers of the laser lens is unable to handle this drive

  But just a question; These films are created for the European region?
  I mean there are different regions DVD

  As far as I know the films for European needs region 2
  The United States have need of region 1 and South American setting & Middle need area 4

  So if you want to watch DVD designed for US then you need to change the region to 1 settings.

  But note; You can change the region settings only 4 times then this parameters could be blocked, it is not possible to change it again

• Satellite A50: DVD player does not read DVD only CD

  On my Satellite A50 DVD drive can only read CDs now but not DVD. So I'm not able to use the recovery disc.
  My BIOS is up to date, I think.

  Hello

  Well, what can I say? For me, this looks like a disk failure.
  Maybe the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive is able to read the CD.
  I don't think that the replacement of disc will help you :(

• 2005 media center edition dvd player does not read Dvd

  My support 2005 Centre of dvd player will not play any Dvd code error indicates "can not read the dvd.

  Could install you the Decoder Checkup Utility from MS, launch it and display the results?

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

  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.

  ------------

  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.

  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.
