Hello

See if the following makes a difference.

Open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, right-click the drive and select uninstall.

Once it finished, open the Device Manager window.

Click on the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

Return to the Device Manager window and click the "Search for hardware changes" (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

Kind regards

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. You can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    1. Download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

    Hello, I was asked to help fix a friends computer its an
    Toshiba DX1210 all-in-one desktop.

    its about 1 years with no problems until today the hard drive has suddenly stopped reading discs completely it custom similarly recognize that there is a disc inside.

    I know there is a possibility that the laser is broken, but I want to eliminate everything before I propose to replace the ODD.

    ODD:

    I have looked everywhere for an answer and did everything I learned to do in the past, but nothing has worked.

    I used restore points.
    Uninstalled the driver then rebooted to reinstall it (installation is a breeze and everything works).
    Reformatted your entire computer (created a backup and restored everything after that she did not).

    I'm stuck on this 100% and really want anyone who might have the answer for me or even to suggest something that would be a great help.

    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

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    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.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    Hello

    If you have tried all of these methods, it sounds like the drive has a problem
    may be due to wear or age, they go wrong.

    "BTW, by"reading"discs, I hope you meant"burn"as a blank disc.
    cannot be read because it does nothing about it. If the unit of optical burning failed
    a black disc is not recognized or burned.

    Try the drive in another computer and try another drive in your computer.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    you mean that the external hard drive does not work too? Some software blocking your disks?

    I think that the best way to check if your internal drive still works would try to start with a bootable CD (perhaps with a live linux distribution on it) and to try this with the external hard drive also.

    If you're really a software that prevents the drive work properly, then you should recover your machine with the recovery media to make the drive work again properly.

  • Satellite Pro A10: DVD rom sd c2612 stopped reading discs completely

    OK, I have a Satellite Pro A10, recently it is just stopped reading discs completely! Ive got no idea what wrong with and do not know if you need to replace? I prefer not too.

    If anyone has any advice on repairing it I would appreciate it. If not if anyone knows if there any compatible DVD readers writing? also the best place to buy?

    Help, please!

    Hello

    This does not sound well :( I think it could be a hardware problem maybe something wrong with the lens of the drive
    Anyway, usually it of not possible to fix these issues or it s not worth repairing, because the costs are too high
    Thus, it seems that you need to replace. But be careful. Not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country to get a compatible drive.

    But please try this proposal;

  • ONE OF THE OPTICAL READERS READING DISCS 2

    I am running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. I'm having a problem getting one of my optical drives recently added to read discs. The engraver of CD - RW LG GCE - 8525-B, (set as slave), will read audio discs but nothing else. The master disc will load and play discs very well. Do not forget that the problematic drive worked in another system, a few days ago, and so I do believe that it is a mechanical problem.  Windows 7 has found and installed the drivers, and the name of the device appears in Device Manager. I also do a Windows repair install, that does not resolve the issue. Here are some features that can help:

    • The two drives are connected with a 40 wires IDE Ribbon.
    • Work drive is set to master. DMA2.
    • Problem LG GCE - 8525-B is set to slave. UDMA 2.
    • The reader will turn very quickly and is still on for a long time before giving up.
    • My motherboard is an Asus P5LD2.

    I decided to replace the drive with a DVD - RW drive, which solved the problem. The previous reader works fine in another computer now. Thanks for all your help!

  • Error "Cannot read disc" after nc4200 replacement hard drive

    Hi all

    I read through the postings but did not see an exact match for the issue I'm having.

    My 5 year old needed nc4200 finally a replacement hard drive.  I bought a new 120 GB ATA-6 WD Scorpio Blue 40 GB ATA-7 Toshiba plant.  I was able to clean up a few errors on the old disk and the Partition Magic 8.0 successfully used to copy all the data in a single primary partition on the new 120 GB drive using all available space.

    I started with success the drive on the Windows desktop using a separate post of full PC.  When I inserted the new, WD drive in my nc4200 however I got an error "cannot read disc" immediately after the MESSAGE.  The BIOS is a short wee on tests of diagnostic and other information on the hard drive, but I ran with success a test drive in the menu of the BIOS with the net results.

    I have advanced and updated the BIOS to version F.0F thinking there may be some 1024 cylinders deliver or other incompatibility big disk, but this new version also shows the error of reading.  At this point, I'm stumped.  Why this new boot in my desktop PC drive but fail in my nc4200?  What do I have to use some tools HP blessed to make this readable disk?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, I guess you can call this one resolved.  I sent the WD Scorpio Blue 120 GB drive (model WD1200BEVE) and ordered a WD Scorpio Blue 80 GB (model WD800BEVE) instead.  I cloned my old Toshiba 50 GB 5400 RPM (model MK6026GAX) with Acronis True Image WD Edition.  I installed the new drive in my nc4200 and pulled upward on the first try!

    I'm still not sure why the 120 GB didn't work.  The only thing I noticed is that the done 120 GB one noise rattling and the 80 GB is not then maybe the drive was defective.  I'll never know however, if it was the drive or the size of the drive, that was the question, but I hope that this info will be useful to someone else looking to exchange a HD of aging in a nc4200.
