Equium A100-549: Mat * un DVD - Ram UJ - 841 s is not accessible

Hello
I have read many topics all about problems with this unit, makes me regret buying the laptop, but for now, I'll have to try to fix it. My DVD device, I cannot access it if I put in a blank DVD or CD-ROM drive. When I click on the camera by computer or of the auto run pop-up menu, an error message appears saying "D: is not accessible incorrect function". If I insert a disk with some data on it it reads it quiet easily (DVD and CD-ROM of so it's not the calibrator laser). After reading works around the problem, I did the following:-

-First I tried accessing the page of toshiba and reloading the drivers, without success

-J' the continuation of many shooters of boredom, unsuccessfully tried

-J' even tried formatting my laptop and reinstall windows (incidentally this violates my warranty and insurance?) and subsiquently once again, without success drivers

I need help, and not only its desperate thank you very much!

Hi André,.

First, reinstall your system from the recovery CD will affect your insurance or guarantee. You can reinstall as often as you want.

As for you problem with your optical drive, the first thing to check is that the option "Enable the Reording CD on this drive" is checked in the properties of the device option. Just right click on your optical drive in ' my computer and then select Properties option then the "recording" tab

Finally, you shouldn't have to download all the drivers for your scanner, Microsoft base drivers are generally quite adequate. Usually, the drivers of Toshiba DVD-RAM support formatting of re = writeable disks and not the functioning of the drive itself.

Kind regards

    Hi all

    Hello

    In addition to the fact that you can boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD, I think that it s a problem of training material
    I think it's a matter of calibration of lens readers possibly the lens can not calibrate correctly in the right position of s, and this is why the drive can't handle the inserted media.

    This could be the worst case, because this fault is repairable by replacing the drive.

    CD/DVD TEST (D:\) PLAYER MADE FAIL

    Could you tell us what films (title), you have a problem with?
    Perhaps you have trouble with the more recent Double-Layer (9 GB) DVD.

    Of course, it may be a copy protection, too cause some movies using a very unusual way to make sure that they play on a "locked region" disc.
    Using any software on your laptop that are able to "Rip" or "simulate" a DVD? If so, that the existence of such software could prevent the normal functioning of the specific movie titles

    Many films are also not not not to work on the readers of 'Region free '. These DVD movies check if your player is able to play a 'region' that is different than the current DVD that plays, and if they do, they will not start.

    Give us some comments over on that and perhaps we can find the reason for your question.

  • Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

    Hello

    cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
    Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

    Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

    First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
    After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

    Simple disc burning layer without problem.

    Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thank you
    Luci

    Hello

    tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

    I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

    Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

    THX

    You can do the following: go to download drivers of Toshiba Europe site and check if there is an update of firmware for this specific player. If so, I strongly recommend you apply and check if it works.

    If the didn t of the firmware update worked later you assumed that the reader is defective and must be replaced.

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A100-955, and I need a firmware for my CD/DVD drive.
    It works fine and bad in different times.
    My current version is 1.60. I can't find an update anywhere! Or at least the same firmware...

    I can't find it on CPR1, I can't find it on the Web from Panasonic website. Help!

    Hello

    I checked the Toshiba page and there is no updated firmware for this CURIOUS.
    Usually if you have some problems with reading or writing to the disks, then this means that the STRANGE beginning of malfunctions and no update firmware could help.
    Perhaps the drive's laser lens is not ok this happens after a long period of use.

    Maybe you can try to clean the lens with the help of alcohol and lint.

    If that does not help, then you should try different discs from different manufacturers
    And the last option could be replacement drive.

    Tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers...

    Hello

    I guess this problem is new and you were able to burn and play media in the past
    So everything looks like a hardware fault and replace the drive seem to be absolutely necessary.

    But have you tested several media? Have you tried to burn the CD or DVD with software like Nero? The RecordNow is not my favorite.

    You said
    > Have tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers
    Can I ask how did you that? The CD/DVD drive using the common Windows driver and it s not necessary to install additional drivers.
    By the way; you won't find any special drivers designed for the CD/DVD drive.

    However, please also check if this Microsoft solution can help you:

    Hello Andy

    Sorry, but your description of the problem is a bit confusing to me. What do you mean exactly? According to the specifications of your laptop should have DVD Super-Multi drive (+ R) double layer. This means that you should be able to burn DVD-R/RW with no problems.

    You mean that you can't burn data or movies on blank media DVD - RW or DVD - RW media is not readable?

    By the way: separate for ODD driver is not available.

  • Equium A100-549: DVD & CD playback is slow and jerky

    Hello!
    DVD and CD playback is jerky and slow (sound and image). This problem occurred out of the blue! One day was playing very well and the next, when we tried to play a DVD is a different problem. I put the other DVD that plays very well the night before, but without success - it wasn't the DVD in particular. I tried the audio CD I played before and to my disappointment the same problem. I ripped a CD on my laptop and it played very well - it is not the sound card. I used a lens cleaner, but it did not work.

    I run Toshiba Diagnostics, no problem. I even scanned the HD and defrag, nothing - so I doubt there is a problem with Windows. Problem with two media players, windows one and the Nero one - is not due to lack of players. I drop the phone or hit him or spilled something on it. And this problem really happened from one day to the other. I had all the windows and driver updates two weeks before the problem occurred, by paying in the meantime several DVDs and a few CDs with no problems. What should I do?

    Fortunately, the laptop is still under warranty, but I would prefer if there is a way to fix at home, because services of take time...

    I hope that your device to factory settings and not your own installation of the OS. You didn't write what CDs and DVDs you use, but I hope that use you the original one.

    Before you play DVD movie try at first to end all unnecessary process and stop the antivirus application if you have one. RedHawk is just, but I'm sure that DMA setting is standard by factory settings.

    Hello

    AGM

    > I don't want to lose my data

    Well. Everyone knows that a HARD disk problem can happen and all of a sudden you may lose all the data stored on the HARD drive.
    That is why it s always recommended to backup the data on additional HDD, DVD, etc.

    I'm not sure if this will help but try this:
    Try to boot from the disk Win XP (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) and press r. means repair and should start the repair console.
    The similar DOS window should open and there, you can use a command:
    CHKDSK drive/p/r

    The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it.

    More details can be found here:

    If that does not help, then you need to reinstall new OS.

  • Equium A100-549: UK keyboard button game problem using OS language NL

    Hi all

    I have a bit of a problem, I can not solve my self.
    I have a toshiba Equium A100 549 and changed operating system from XP home to XP home NL UK.
    I did format all HARD disks because of Mayor virus problems.

    I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    I woul want to set them like they belong on the way in which toshiba set them, with the same 3min.from on the keys...

    What do I do? Thanks in advance,

    > I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    > I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    The point is that you have installed windows OS in the language of the Netherlands, but the laptop uses the UK keyboard layout.
    Therefore, change to a different language keyboard layout if the keyboard is set to the language of the Netherlands, then you should change this to English UK!

    Go to control panel-> regional and Language Options-> languages-> text services and input languages tab, click details

    There you can add or change the language
