DVD RW CD RW does not read CD ROM or Audio CD (XP Pro)

I tried the fix option, tried to find out if it is activated, etc. Still not reading.

Problem is the CD Player reads only DVDs (takes a minute to load) it won't read/write on CD or open the CD. The CD is not corrupted I used them several times before and others are empty. When I try to burn something using Nero 7 on an Audio CD it just keeps telling me to insert a CD R/RW blank, even if it is present in it. It makes a click noise all few seconds, but is never to play the disc, or accept it has a vacuum in and let me continue to burn files that him.

When I tried a CD Rom it just stopped after trying for 30 seconds and has not loaded.

When I tried a legitimate Audio CD (bought) he did the same. Ever, loads the data.

When I try a DVD it works however it takes about 30 seconds to load this feature.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

Chris

The disc is a failure and the laser that handles CDs is completely dead. Replace the drive. It is a simple and inexpensive hardware solution. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Satellite M40-185: DVD super multi drive does not read the CD

    I own a Toshiba Satellite M40-185. It is mounted with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S.
    When I put the CD - R, which are supposed to work on this drive however it read as a CD - R [i.e. the icon changes from DVD - RAM drive in my computer to a CD - R]

    However, when you double-click the drive it says D:\ accicble not. But it works fine with DVD.
    Recently, I found that it stops between buring DVD as well. I got the replaced disk from Toshiba, but it was not to last long either.
    I wonder if his software level problem.

    I tried to update the firmware but it does not work because it's another drive for this what is mentioned on the website for drivers...

    Maybe it s only a registry error?
    I read different statements here in the forum and especially the deletion of in the upper and lower registry filters helps to address these issues.

    For more information, see this page of Microsoft Knowledge:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

    Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • I installed a new driver for CD/DVD; TSSTcorp CDW/DVD TS - L - 462 was of... CD/DVD Driver.but it does not read empty CD or DVD. It is said that there is no disc in the drive.

After I tried to back up my laptop, I was told to "put a DVD selected", so I did it, but it does not reconise dvd I set, so I put in a blank dvd, & press "use a dvd blank." but he did not read.  It keep saying "install an accessible dvd writable", or "there is no cd or dvd in the drive," what is happening please help.

    Hello

    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

  • Carpet * a DVD-ram uj 820 does not read anything

    Hello everyone,
    My problem: the DVD player and CD used to run perfectly since 2 years ago, I bought the laptop.
    A week ago the driver suddenly stopped reading and not reading any CD or DVD, no music, no data.
    Nothing...

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you, J.

    Hello

    It is possible that the drive is faulty, but to confirm this, the drive must be verified by the service. It will be interesting to know what exactly happens when you try to use certain media. Is the absolutely silent drive with no activity or the control LED lights up and car tried to read the media? What is the status in windows Explorer? If the list, what happens when you click on ODD? Is an error occurs?

    What you can do is:

    Remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. After this check the functionality.
    Try to clean the lens
    Playback option with CD or DVD original only test
    I'm not sure this will help, but if it happens all of a sudden try to restore the operating system by using the system restore utility

    It is really not easy to tell what the problem may be, but it is really possible that the drive is dead.

    I own a laptop Satellite A300 - 1 M 1

    The problem is it exactly even. I can read a DVD (DVD movie) but not a CD (with data). I can read both disks on a different laptop.
    When I insert the DVD, the disc spins and in few seconds it appears in windows Explorer and can be played with Windows Media Player or VLC, for example. When I insert a CD with the data, CD towers, there is slippage noises, at different speeds. The mouse cursor changes briefly shhowing a disc below it, the orange light flashes, but after some 40 seconds or so only a message appears "Please insert a readable disc. Needless to say, I tried several different CD. Only DVD movie I managed to read on the player.

    The drive is listed on the device as a Manager:

  • CD/DVD drive works, but does not read the CD

    Upgrade to Windows 7, last week. All right.  In the past days, have been ripping the CD for my MP3 player.  Tonight, the CD/DVD stopped reading media.  I can see the drive in Windows Explorer.  When I click on the drive icon in the WinExplorer, the drawer opens for loading; However, when I insert a CD and close the drawer, read access / the light blinks but nothing to indicate that the CD is actually read.  CD new no scratches.  Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

    If this is a brand new CD, the CD's may be defective or your disk may need an update of firmware to understand a new type of media.

    The laser may be dirty or co - is told in passing is not.

  • SD-2212 drive does not read some DVD - Satellite 1410

    Hello every1,
    I have the Satellite 1410 604 for more than 2 years, with player combo mentioned above...
    It serves me right, except that it does not read certain types of dvd media, and I use only high quality DVD Verbatim...
    It happens that in the last months. It is not my main computer but it's to use in my house, and it really bothers me when my sister or father takes the new A60 Pro satellite on the road (its battery is better), I can't use last discs on it. So if there is a cause of upgrade, firmware I can't find on this site...

    Thanks in advance...

    I don t think that the firmware update will solve this problem because this pilot acknowledged this DVD some time ago.

    All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

    Any suggestions?
    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.
