    Hi Paul,.

    You don't say what model of laptop you have, but generally speaking if you are using Windows XP then you will use the standard Microsoft drivers for your scanner.

    However, you can Toshiba drivers and utilities download from Toshiba web site by clicking on the Support section and downloads and selection of files to download. You will need to fill in the details of your laptop so that the list of appropriate driver (unless you have provided these details when you register).

     Download XP_CD-DVD - Fix.zip and save this file on your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it, and double-click the file to extract the content. Find the EXE file that you extracted and double click it.  A confirmation dialog box appears when the script is done.  You may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

    This error can occur if the data in the registry for the device and its driver has been corrupted.

    Since you have already done a factory restore, leave, try to uninstall and reinstall the driver CD\DVD and check if it helps.

  • Satellite M40X - DVD drive is not recognized

    I bought a new satellite pro m40x yesterday and today everything worked fine but today the dvd and cd rom is not recognized more. I don't know about cell phones, what can I do? I don't want to return it to Toshiba and wait 4 weeks to get it back.
    My son needs the notebook the week next to the school.

    Hi Christine,

    Please check in the Device Manager to see if there's anything showing against your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM is always displayed, you should be able to run the process of troubleshooting against it to check for possible errors.

    If your CD-ROM is more listed and then launch the 'Scan for hardware changes' option to see if it detects your CD-ROM.

  • Re: New DVD player is not recognized - Satellite 5200 801

    The old DVD drive no longer works, so I bought a new DVD player (SonyNEC Optiarc AD - 7593A).
    But the system does not recognize the new drive at all.

    I can not boot from the CD and in the hardwaremanager, there is no CD/DVD.

    But the drive works. If I put a CD in, you can hear how he turns upward.
    If I put the old drive, it is recognized in the hardwaremanager, but the reader no longer works.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
    FO

    > But the drive works. If I put a CD in, you can hear how he turns upward.

    It says nothing! You can hear the rotating disc because it s connected to the laptop and it s operated.

    The BIOS is important! Your new CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

    If not, then you have purchased NOT compatible CD/DVD player!

    I think that the master/slave/c-salt settings are not compatible with the laptop and so the CD/DVD drive may not be recognized.

  • On laptop CD/DVD drive is not recognized/is missing. Having read the other topics, problem still not solved.

    I'm on a computer laptop gateway and my cd player does not work all of a sudden. I can eject and put CD in there and it will hum for awhile, but nothing will happen. I went to Device Manager and it is not yet listed. I read the other topics and the problem is still not resolved, please help. Also, my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder has not all folders in there, so I can't go to system/etc to delete anything because there is nothing to remove. Thank you for your time

    Hello

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers to check with the system manufacturer to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your if necessary.
