• Windows 8 DVD ROM not reading discs

  Yesterday I installed a few games on Steam, I was playing Saints Row the third while he was busy installing and bit after that I had to restart my PC because it was originally the trolling game. At the next startup, my laptop then got stuck on the login screen, where I put in my password/PIN and it would just sit there and do nothing. This kept going until that of course I had to go in safe mode and use that 'Everything clear, but keep your files' option windows 8 a, and am now able to log in and access my files.

  Nut, now I am faced with a new problem, my DVD ROM will not read and disk I insert in there. It was working fine until I deleted everything, and now I can't use it.

  I tried to use the tool of diagnosis provided by Microsoft for this problem, but it does not work. I should also mention the possibility of editing the registry does not work either.

  My laptop is reasonably elderly, ten months or so, but I doubt that it is only a hardware problem because the DVD ROM shows on my computer and device manager says it works very well.

  Are there other solutions for this or should I just take it back to the shop?

• DRAC 5 installation media: "Selection of CD/DVD-ROM not valid."

  I connect to a Drac 5 with firmware version 1.33 using 32 bit Firefox 2.0.0.20 as downloaded from Mozilla.org running on CentOS 5.2.

  It seems to me installing the Console and media attach the plug-ins OK, but I get a problem when I try to join a DVD-ROM. I select the ISO from Centos 5.2 image, but when I press the Connect button I get a pop-up indicating that "the page at https://192.168.108.102 says: ' then 'selection of CD/DVD-ROM not valid.'.

  If I try the same thing using IE 7 under Windows, it will connect, but since I don't have Windows in the data center is too slow and no use for me to try to connect a DVD over the WAN.

  I searched Google and found nothing documenting this error so I am a bit stuck as to what it means and what to do about it.

  I tried to run firefox as root also in case the plugin was trying to cordon the ISO file.

  I also eliminated any firewall blocking the ports.

  This problem is related to Internet Explorer 8.
  The error can be resolved by adding the IP address as a trusted site in Internet Explorer 8.

• Satellite M35x-s349 - DVD-ROM drive read not

  I have a Satellite M35x-s349. I got it around late 2004.

  He has had this problem for a few months and I had submitted to not being able to read or write cd / dvd because I couldn't find my recovery disks. When the computer was planted I renewed my efforts, found, restored with the help of an external HD enclosure, backed up and restored my computer. It was working fine. I burned the CD and watched movies without problems for a few months.

  He has now stopped read any kind of cd yet. I put the small drive flashes next to my cursor. I hear movement inside (ROAR and the eye moving) but after about 20 seconds, he gave up and claims that there is no disc in the drive. I don't want to have to do a system restore, but I can't even read the restore disk to reinstall the driver. Are there any ideas on why this happens if not all the solutions? Any way to reinstall the driver online? I am a user of level intermediary model so I can understand most tech jargon you throw my way. I can usually solve my own problems, but this one seems hopeless.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  I agree with Akuma. If the bootable CD/DVD cannot be read by the player are probably defective.

  It's old notebook and you can find replacement on eBay.
  Change the record is not complicated and if you need help let us know.

• Tecra S1: DVD ROM not recognized burner (Plextor PX-608AL)

  Hi all

  I bought a DVD ROM Writer (Plextor PX-608AL) that is not recognized by my Tecra S1 with XP Pro.

  I installed the latest BIOS v2.50 as well as the latest Windows patches.

  To the search, in the Setup of the BIOS (ESC during startup), the drive is not available.

  I tested the drive in my old non - Toshiba with Win2k laptop with no problems.

  Mounting frame is also OK (tested with the original Toshiba DVD ROM)

  Y at - there a trick to getting a 3rd disc part DVD working in a Tecra notebook?
  What is generally a problem

  Thanks for reading my ad and you answers or advice

  Klaus

  Hello

  It won't be very easy get your new work of drive on your S1, I will explain why:

  Most DVD players for laptops (including your Plextor 608AL) do not have jumpers to set
  their place according to the requirements of the laptop.
  Three settings are available: master/slave/CableSelect

  Most Toshiba laptops require the CD to react as a secondary master drive, unfortunately
  a disc factory settings in bulk comes as a disk Primary Master or CS.

  There are two options how to get to missing jumpers to make it work.
  (1) thanks to a new firmware patch that has this option defined by the software based on Toshiba standard or
  (2) by a bridge of material on some pins to the back of the drive.

  As you can see, both options will cancel the guarantee of the reader and are not easy for a techie/technician.

  As for option 1) on the search for a suitable firmware... no there are none available now. I checked the official site of Plextor, but also sites of patch firmware... NO CONCLUSION.
  According to another Forum, business Plextor responded to a request for a firmware adapted with this answer:

  start of quote:
  Dear Sir.

  The drive is detected beeing as a master drive.
  This setting cannot be changed. Are there no rider to do so.
  How mount you the device to your laptop, it's up to you.
  It of different for every laptop and either found in the manual of books or you can request that information from the manufacturers for your laptop.

  Kind regards
  end quote (source: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=199145 )

  As in option 2), it requires some skills with soldering and I do not think that this forum is suitable for me to explain this procedure. You should google around to find the procedure "pin 47 ashore" on your own, taking all the risks of losing the warranty and/or the drive on your own.

  Concerning
