  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
  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.

• CD/DVD of R2412 A30 player will only recognize blank DVDs

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 with a reader of CD/DVD SD-R2412. The drive will read and play pre-recorded DVDs. When I try to record a DVD, the drive will not read a blank DVD disc and I can hear the reading "head hunting". I have tried DVD-R "up to 4 X' and X 1-8' with the same result. The problem exists with different burning utilities including Nero. The drive Burns CD OK, but on occasions, I get an error (SC/SQ = 04/07 drive) through several CD burning. Any ideas?

  If your drive is the model you are saying that this is the case, then it does not support writing to DVD media. Check here:

• Reads music CDs, but does not recognize blank CD - r

  I have long used Nero or Roxio to burn some CD - Rs without problem. I recently tried to install Exact Audio Copy (EAC), which has worked flawlessly for years on my old computer, but all attempts to plant resulted in the Blue Screen Of Death, so I uninstalled it. I can still play music CDs, but none of the burning (Nero, Roxio, Windows Media Center) programs recognize blank CD - r (and Yes, I always use the same type and brand of CD - R). I also tried the Microsoft Fix It solution center, who acknowledged the problem but no solution offered. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  1. is this Microsoft fix it tool display error message associated with CD/DVD not getting not recognized?

  You can follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  You can temporarily try to remove or uninstall the writing software CD or DVD of third party such as Nero or Roxio installed on the computer and check if you are able to access the CD / DVD. If it works fine, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the software to check if you need to make changes to write to DVD.

  If you have Norton Installed on the computer, you can try disabling the software Norton temporarily to see if it solves the problem. Subsequently reactivate after verification.

  If the previous step fails, then check the condition of the disc on the computer using Manager devices and post back with the details.

  Also check the updated drivers available for the DVD player by visiting the website of the automaker.

• Satellite Pro M76E - CD player does not recognize blank CD D:\ is not accessible

  Hello.

  Just recently, my satellite pro m76e ceased to recognize blank CDs. If I stick a CD it recognizes that it is a CD, but if I click, it throws an error message indicating that "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function. "I tried the search for driver updates but couldn't find one, and toshiba sites says you don't need additional drivers for the internal CD drives.

  The drive works fine for everything else. It's just empty CD. Any advice would be welcome.

  Hello

  One question; Why you want to read a blank CD? ?:|
  As you say all the CD and DVD is recognized, but only the blank CD cannot be read.

  Regarding the driversa? ... you're right, the update of the driver is not necessary and is not possible because the Windows operating system uses a clean Microsoft drivers to run the ODD.
