• Problem recording/burning to DVD - R on Satellite P20

  I have a portable Satellite P20 with a Multi Dvd Player - RAM (which should support both DVD-RAM, DVD - R and DVD/RW for recording). I have some difficulties of saving data on discs DVD-R - basically when I insert a space are DVD drive D is not yet available.

  I tried recording on a DVD-RAM disk, which worked well (went through the usual procedure off regularly writing to CD etc) it seems only to be DVD - R that are the problem.

  any ideas people?

  You should check if the record in the properties of the drive is activated.

• DVD software of writing for Mat * un UJ811 DVD-RAM DRIVE to P20 - 604

  Hi members,

  I use Toshiba satellite P20-604, loaded with xp professional - SP2.I would like to create movies DVD .vob (excerpts of a video dvd) files. Also, I would like to use my existing CD - RW media, formatted using INCD Nero / Roxio - Direct software CD. What DVD buring software I can use? (whenever I'm using an old CD - RW for drag & drop option, the system hangs / end up with blue screen.). Right now I use Roxio easy media creator and NERO INCD version 4.0. Please send your useful suggestion.

  Thank you & best regards

  Hi M

  In my opinion, it's absolutely wrong forum for this topic. The right answer, you can find in a forum where users discuss similar content of video editing.

  In any case I'll explain how. If the DVD movie is torn, there are a lot of vob files. I burn movies DVD with Nero software of engraving on this way:

  -Select in Nero that media must be used (DVD)
  -Go to option of movie DVD
  -You can see two files (Audio and video. Video is red)
  -All files must be copied to the VIDEO folder
  -Start the burning process.

  Good bye

• Satellite P20 DVD ROM drive may not be recognized

  Hello

  I just replaced my DVD ROM drive, but I had a problem.
  It is a new DVD rom drive I ordered at TOSHIBA also.
  It could not be detected by Windows:
  -Tried to check on Device Manager, not detected
  -Tried to reload the driver, the same problem
  Note:
  Whenever I tried to re - insert the disc, the blue light in the control panel of my P20 beds (I understand, which means that the P20 detects the drive) but I don't understand, is that why Windows XP does not detect it or it does not alarm or error messages.

  Any help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Try to use the Add Hardware option.
  This question is very strange, but I read on some sites, sometimes a whole new OS install CD player, brings back to life.

• Satellite P20-842: Question about product Recovery DVD-ROM

  I have a portable satellite P20 842.
  I received a DVD of recovery of product with it (2 DVDs)
  I would like to format the hard drive!
  When I try to use the DVD, I get a message "starting windows 98"
  some 900ish files copied and then NOTHING! I restarted and I get a message from stiarting windows XP...
  My questions
  (1) how to use the DVD to format the hard drive!
  (2) when I bought this laptop, it had windows XP preinstalled... so where windows 98 come into picture?

  I need to format my disk ASAP as my comp hangs...
  I need HELP! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

  Hello

  Don t be afraid. Everything is ok.
  The restore CD contains the ghost image files and it uses the files Windows 98 MS system to boot from the CD.
  It is usual that the Win98 message during initialization.
  In addition, the recovery CD formats and automatically remove the HARD drive.
  You have only to boot from this CD and you select standard mode.

  In this case the recovery CD is completely erase the HARD drive.

• P20: cannot use the DVD - RAM drive after installing a trial software

  Hi members,

  I am using Toshiba satellite P20 - 604 model - load with windows xp prof - SP2. I wasn't able to use the software from burning DVDs successfully, so I tried to install cyberlink Power2Go software (trial ver) in there and ended up with "No. DVD RAM DRIVE APPEAR" in my computer. I could see the device dvd - ram with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager. (the drive model is MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-811). I tried to update the driver for it, no use. No idea how to recover the original driver and make it available for use dvd - ram drive? waiting for your valuable solution.

  Thank you & best regards

  M.Kanagaraj

  Hello

  The easiest way is to use the system restore option if you have created a restore point before you have had an experience with the trial version of Power2Go. If this is not the case, check if there is a system restore point has done in recent days.

• Satellite P20: Device DVD Player reads only the DVD but cannot burn CD & DVD

  Hello

  I have a toshiba P20, and I'm having a lot of problems with it. One of them is my DVD UJ811. I don't really know what is happening, the drive was already replaced and a few weeks later, it was exactly like the front, and the service provider made me pay almost 70EUR for a budget of 400EUR rejected.

  I would like to know what really should do, I can't read the CD and I can not burn CD/DVDs, I can just read DVDs, nothing else.

  I have seen some forums on the net, too many people in the world has the same problem I have and I really need to know what is the best solution for me.
  Thank you

  Hello Rafael

  I'm very surprised by your post it here because I've used Satellite P20-303 (a red) about two years. Laptop is now used by my brother and it works perfectly. I don't really know what problems you have, but I never noticed anything suspicious. Up to now I removed the cooling Grill on the bottom twice to clean the unit, and that's all. After that laptop computer cleanup runs a lot more quiet then before.

  Back to ad: I have to be honest and say that I traded with TEAC DV - W22E DVD - rom. original drive was DVD - RW and TEAC DV-W22E DVD-RAM. My brother use it pretty extensively, but until now there is no problem at all.

  I don't really know what the service is doing, but if possible replace the drive TEAC one. I can tell you with certainty, it works very well. Moreover, according to the description of your problem, I am sure that the drive is faulty.
  You can replace one. It's very simple to do.

• Satellite P20 S203: what DVD player is picked up and compatible

  I have a P20 S203 the problem I'm having is to identify a replacement DVD (all), I transport but no drive.

  Hello Martin

  On this forum I found some interesting topics on ODD on Satellite P20 replacement. It seems that the drive TEAC DV-W22E is perfect for replacing ODD. It is STRANGE DVD - RAM and you will have a DVD burner with function of RAM.

  Google around a bit and find info on prices.

• Satellite A210-12U - DVD RW drive will recognize the DVD but no CD

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite of 4 years (model: A210-12U) that I recently restored using the recovery CD - it running Vista SP2.

  Please bear with me as this may be an ish story, but it helps to explain my problem.
  Around a year ago, a virus has made its way onto my laptop and almost destroyed the BONE - I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable software-wise after studying at the College and began the long process of trying to resolve my laptop without using the recovery CD.

  It was a patch job, but after a month or two, I had it works again and it was fine for a period of a few months or so, before, I noticed that my DVD RW drive would no longer read or burn CDs. I spent hours trawling internet forums to help without a bit of luck and was eventually convinced that it was a hardware problem.

  As I needed to use a CD burner, my cousin gave me his DVD - RW USB drive and it did not work, which means that the logic suggested that it wasn't a physical problem with the drive, rather that it was most likely a problem with the registry/OS. It was not surprising given that I had done a basic work patch following the infection by the virus a few months earlier.

  After becoming more and more frustrated with my laptop in general, I backed up my data on a portable hard drive and used the recovery CD that came with my laptop. The laptop started the CD when he was outside of the OS (according to the instructions that came with it) and restored all of the computer to its original state (and solve many of the problems that have been caused by the virus in the process).

  I have spent the last week re - install programs, the copy of backdata etc. and was trying to install a software on a CD today, when I noticed that the laptop had difficulties to access the disk. Explorer Windows knows that the drive is there; It is listed in 'My Computer' and will also be the small CD icon alongside the pointer when it tries to load the CD - suggesting that he knows that there is a CD in there.

  However, the drive will still read DVD that suggests, it could be a physical problem with the drive itself (I read somewhere on the laser need to change its angle accordingly during playback of CDs and DVDs). I have a question though, what the computer was able to read the recovery CD when I was being a complete restoration (and that she felt the same difficulties of CD playback in Windows before restoration).

  I tried all the suggested methods in similar posts on this forum - Microsoft Fix It, uninstall the drivers etc nothing helps... So yes, I am a little confused and wonder if anyone can help?

  The DVD RW drive is listed in Device Manager as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device.

  Thank you
  Ben

  Hi Ben

  In my opinion, this is material junk. You're right about the position of the objective. It needs to be calibrated for CDs and DVDs. If the optical disc drive cannot read one of these media in general, it can be problem of lens calibration.

  To be honest sides for this old A210 are cheap and more. I advise you to buy a new or used one on eBay. Exchange and test functionality.
  To be honest I don't believe there is a trick that can help you get it working again.

• Satellite P20: unit stops during playback of DVD

  I JUST BOUGHT second hand satellite p20... Well I recharge the battery.
  I put a dvd 3 or 4 cd (always good at the other players and cd rom) after 3 minutes or 10 minutes or less... well no reason (the battery control save energy were on "never turn off the hard disk") the laptop turn off immediately, without reason!
  Like someone taking the unit off.
  I tried to do the same with the battery, no battery, with battery and a link to electerc network, anyway, but the problem is the same!

  Sorry for my English, I hope you understand my problem.
  Please answer me quickly, so I give it back to the owner...!

  Thank you very much! GRAZIE!

  Hi Paolo

  Before trying what whether the device correctly. My previous unit was Satellite P20-303, and after two years, there is a lot of dust inside the unit. Maybe is the reason for closing overheating. You have second hand unit and who knows how the previous user has used the device.

• Can speeds of DVD - I play slower pre-recorded DVD - Satellite P20 801

  I have a Satellite P20 801. I think to buy a DVD burner, so I can transfer VHS to DVD hardware. If I recorded it at a slower speed, would I be able to play on my laptop? How can I tell if the DVD on the P20 player can play different rhythms - assuming that's possible?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know that the recording speed is not relevant for play. You can save on the minimum or maximum speed DVD and the DVD can be played on your P20. My previous laptop was P20 and I never had no problem with this.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

  Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

  Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

  I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

  Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

  Thank you

  Hello rich

  Have you noticed the same problem after using Toshiba designed recovery DVDs?

• Satellite P30 - Dvd ram drive not working properly

  Help, please...

  I tried to install 2 pieces of software on a new satellite p30, and resembles a need for new drivers for the dvd player, which is a carpet * a dvd - ram uj-830 s.

  Basically, I installed some bog standard games, they fit very well and while respect it works perfectly fine until I have try to load the game itself, and with one, it brings up the message 'Please eject and re-enter cd-rom.

  Can someone please point me to the right direction because everything I tried so far has failed, have installed the drivers from ram dvd that came with the laptop, but nothing helps.

  Hello

  It will be interesting to know if this happens with all data media you use.

  In my opinion you must first locate the source of this problem. Check if your DVD - RAM drive works correctly using different CD, DVD and DVD - RAM of course. If Yes, in this case it is a problem specific, based on the game CD.

• Satellite P20 - copy of CD and DVD

  I recently had a problem with Windows on my laptop Toshiba Satellite P20. I ended up having to use the recovery disk Toshiba that came with the laptop and slowly started to do things to normal. However, I wanted to put in place the mechanism that would allow me to copy my CDs and DVDs.

  I must have done this in the past when I bought the laptop 2 years ago but can't put in place now. If the laptop is equipped with a CD/DVD burner would be they delivered software as well? I can't find on all disks that came with the laptop or should I assume that I have installed the software separately from my own camera. I don't remember what it was called.

  Hello

  I assume you are using Windows XP Home version.
  The windows OS supports a CD handwriting option but not a DVD.
  But the truth I put t like this option and I have never used.

  I use the application to 3rd party like Nero. For me it's one of the best burning programs. You can burn various CD and DVD. Everything is possible (audio, video or data)
