  Toshiba Satellite A100 on Vista operating.
  CD/DVD drive has stopped working and shows it as being disabled. Tried to re - activate but the error code 22. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  * This device is disabled. (Code 22) *.
  _Recommended resolution_
  + Activate the device using Device Manager. +
  + In Device Manager, click Action, and then select device. Starts the Enable Device Wizard. Follow the instructions. +

  Looks like you have already tired it. Well, in your case I would recommend removal of the CD/DVD drive from the list of devices in Device Manager. Mark simply the unit a press to remove.

  Then, restart the computer and check what is happening.

• Equium A100 - CD/DVD drive does not

  I tried to use the CD drive on the A-100 and it seems not to work - it spins the disc, and the yellow light - however, you can not explore to load the disc or its contents.

  I thought this might be an OS problem, so I tried with a boot disk - a bootable cd Knoppix I have used before, and it refuses to load this either (Yes, the boot order is modified to be the first CD)... it's just a black screen the blinks _ for a little while, he left no doubt and then it starts to boot from the HARD drive.

  It is a fairly portable new - a few months only and to my knowledge the CD from the drive has had very little use - 1-2 may be installed.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  This very strange art.
  For me, your description looks like a hardware malfunction, but I just can't believe this could happen after using the player twice.

  You said you tried to use the Knoppix CD. What about the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  Is it possible to play the CD?

  In my operational experience, not all means are compatible! It is possible that the drive could not read or write other unsupported CD or DVD.

  So what to say in the user manual, you should find a compatible with CD/DVD index and supported.
  This CD and DVD should work for sure.

  CD/DVD manufacturers mentioned are unknown to most people, but these are ONLY the manufacturers and not sellers as IE TDK.
  Primarily a manufacturer of CD/DVD provides support for several vendors!

  So finally I recommend that you check the CD taken in charge and if she will not run contact the ASP for assistance. Maybe the drive needs to be replaced.

  Good luck

• DVD drive wont read disks - gives the error "Please insert disk".

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7. The car worked well as I used to install the operating system. To start windows would not recognize the drive. Conclusive that it was a common on win7 x 64 dual boot problem I tried the 3 standard fixes (F8 at startup, change the drive letter, upper and lower field reg edit) I had briefly the functioning of the car, but after about 10 minutes (while I used the disc) he crashed and disappeared.

  I went to the manufacturers site and downloaded the latest version of the software for that, windows installed this and said it worked fine, I can now see the drive but it will not read anything, whenever I put a disc (a disk) it says the drive is empty when it is not and it spits out.

  I tried windows troubleshoot the program from the support site, it detects a problem but can't fix.

  Device Manager shows the drive installed and work. The objective should not need cleaning, because the disk is less than one month. Please help, I have run out of ideas.

  Hello

  Don t use Roxio program to burn the CD.
  Use Nero! It of much better! I also use it and I m very happy.

  I noticed that Roxio modifies the registry key, and so sometimes the CD/DVD drive cannot read or burn some mediums.

  Delete the Upperfilter and UpperFilter in this key:

  Hello

  Looks like the drive has a problem, possibly a cleaning disc might help if he and the
  below are questionable solutions to what sounds like a hardware problem.

  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

  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.

• The CD/DVD drive malfunction: one missing, the other does not work

  My HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop running Vista, came with a CD/DVD drive that appeared as a reader of CD (e) and (f) HD DVD player, with the hard drive and windows repair partition C: and D:.  There, the E: drive seemed to have disappeared, and it is the reader who would access it when I put a CD to read from.  The HD player never worked to this end and of course now that I only have the "F:" drive, and it tells me to insert a disc, despite the fact that there is a disc in there.  And I have no idea of what I did.

  I right click on the HD drive properties and go to the Hardware tab.  WDC (Buncha numbers) ATA device is listed as type of hard drives, and UTIHAX (even numbers) SCSI CdRom Device is listed as a DVD/CD-ROM drives drive (Yes, with the ').  Both work properly, according to the properties of the device.

  I tried to disable and re-enable the it.  I tried to uninstall and allow the pilot to resettle.  Nothing doin ' sofar, so I was wondering if any of you have any other ideas I could try.

  I'd love to hear them!  Let me know what you need.

• Equium L300 CD/DVD Drive no longer reads disks

  There is already a thread with a similar problem to this with a different model, but it seems to be dead.

  The reader of CD/DVD on my Equium L300-148 now refuses to read the discs. It seems to burn yet, which is odd.
  That means the laser has not burned, and drivers seem to work fine.

  I see the drive in the Solution Explorer, and I can eject it with the context menu.
  I tried a "Disable" then "enable" in the Device Manager, but I have not tried to uninstall the drive and then restarting.

  Any help would be apreciated.

  Is the CD/DVD drive is able to read the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  Have you tried to boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and then reinstall the OS?
  Please check this!

  If it of possible to read the recovery disc then the STRANGE is not defective and eventually he only s software problem.

  Notes; boot from the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop to factory setting!

• 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...

  Hello

  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.
