Equium A100: Disc D is not accessible - i/o device error

I recently bought a box of 50 masterpieces of Mozart CD. I want them on my drive hard, but every so often, I hear the whirring autour CD in drive D: but it then stops and no further action takes place. Equium A100 does not recognize the disc: no disc in drive D:! If I go to my computer and click on D:, I get a warning "D:\ is not available..." I/o device error."

This only happens with certain CD; others are fine. Could I do something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

> This happens only with CDs; others are fine. Could I do something wrong?

Hmm in my knowledge, not all CD and DVD are compatible and taken in charge and sometimes could happen that the drive can not read some CD.
It is not impossible

Maybe the firmware of the installed disk does contain all the details of manufacturing of CDs and properties and, therefore, the lens of the drive can not calibrate and manage the inserted CD.

I found in my manual to the user a list of CD and DVD compatible and supported.
There you should find the different manufacturers that produce a compatible media.

    Hello, William

    I'm not 100% sure but I assume that you have problems with ODD (optical disc drive)? Am I right about that?

  • We get an error "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive

    * Original title: e/s problem

    I am not able to access my hard disk.windows that says: -.

    "D: / is not accessible." an i/o device error. "

    I also tried chkdsk but it says that it is not directly operatable.

    Hi Rishanpc,

    Thanks for the post. I am sorry to hear that you found a mistake "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

     

     

    To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

    1. have you checked if the cables are connected properly?

    2 what is an internal hard drive or external?

    3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

     

    The most common cause of a non-accessible i/o error is a disconnected cable. When the computer tries to access a device, and it's no response after several tests, it will generate this error. Another common cause is when a program tries to access a file that has been removed or eliminated.

     

    Disconnected Hard Drive/cable misconfiguration

     

    Internal hard drives require a specific set up. IDE hard disks can have only one master. If another hard drive has its defining together correctly pin code, a user is perhaps not able to access the data, and he will receive a message that the drive are not available. Cables come off inside the case of the computer also cause a not accessible i/o error. The user can correct this problem by opening the case and attach the data cables for each drive safely at the back of each drive and the motherboard.

     

    You can follow the steps below and check if it helps.

     

     

     

    a. go to "Control Panel" in the start menu and choose 'performance and Maintenance '.

    b. click on 'System' then go to the Hardware tab and click on "Device Manager."

    c. find the device that records an error by developing the appropriate category nodes. If the device has a red "X" on the icon beside its description, the hardware is disabled; Go to step d to activate it. Otherwise, go to step e.

    d. go to the general tab and click on "Activate the device" found in the device status section. then press 'OK '. (Note: you may need to follow the guests, as indicated via an assistant of favorable device.) If you do, continue to click "Next" and follow the instructions until the process is complete.) Test the equipment. If an error is displayed, go to step e.

    e. click the general tab and click "Troubleshooting" found in the device status section and then press 'OK '. Follow the prompts to fix the problem. If an error is still displayed, go to step f.

    f. click the driver tab and click on 'Update driver'. Follow the instructions until the process is complete and then to test the equipment.

    I should try the following steps:

    First, you must remove the drive from the Device Manager and restart the laptop. After you restart the operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) again.

    Then, open the registry and delete the upper and lower filters of the key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    I have an Equium A100 running on Windows XP. I bought it in November 2006 PC world.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    You can order the necessary recovery discs with the service provider authorized in your country.

  • Equium A100-063 - keyboard is not recognized

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-063 (PSAAQE-00G006IT).
    The keyboard does not work, the usb keyboard does not work even in the bios.
    I disassembled the PC and unplugged the keyboard but does not work (even in bios).
    I formatted the PC and even the on-screen keyboard does not make me see the letters on the buttons.
    I searched on all sites of the Toshiba driver or bios update for this but found nothing.

    Can you help me?

    It is not easy getting started with comments. As you know on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    If the keyboard does not work you must replace it with a new one.

    When you say that the keyboard is not recognized even in the BIOS doesn't mean that the keyboard is not recognized in Windows?
    External keyboard is connected with a USB cable?

  • Re: Equium A100-027 battery does not charge

    I have an Equium A100-027 aged from 4 months which worked flawlessly until last night. My wife was using it when it ran out of power and we do charge again. The box on the cable becomes hot butno power seems to go to the computer laptop itself. Any ideas please?

    Hello

    Can you can start and run the notebook without the battery and only connected to the adapter?
    The AC is light on?

    If not then the problem could be linked to the defective sector adapter and I recommend you check it by a Toshiba ASP.

    I enjoyed some comments!

  • Equium A100-338: Sound does not work currently running Win XP

    I downloaded all of the toshiba site realtek drivers still doesent work. Can someone please send tell me what sound card I have and where do I download it from.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The problem is that you need install Microsoft patches before you continue installing the audio driver.

    I found some useful tips and advice in this forum and it seems that you need to install the
    KB888111 and KB835221 hotfix before installing the sound driver.

    Please check this!

    Here is the link to see srceenshot: http://rstheclan.googlepages.com/error.JPG

    Have you installed the two KBs (knowledge base) of Microsoft before running the installation program driver sound?

    You can try and download the audio drivers manually and give it a reinstall. Not to mention that this error message, play sound in Windows?
    Need drivers, you can find here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (Support & downloads)

    Another question. What Service Pack you are using? Always SP2 or SP3 brand new? With the last of them, there are sometimes problems with the realtek sound card drivers.

  • \\HOME-server is not accessible. A device attached to the system does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Professional. My network server is WHS V1.

    I have a shortcut on the desktop to \\HOME-SERVER on my W7 machine.
    All of a sudden it has stopped working.
    I get the message
    \\HOME-server is not accessible. You might not...
    A device attached to the system does not work.

    I found that the command line net view \\HOME-SEVER gives (and by typing this in an address bar of the Explorer does not work)
    31 system error has occurred.
    A device attached to the system does not work.

    And this net view \\HOME-SERVER\Music gives (but in typing this in a browser address bar works!)
    53 system error has occurred.
    The network path was not found.
    However, net view 192.168.1.99 (my server address) correctly list the share on the server names (and entering \\192.168.1.99 in Explorer address bar works).
    I did a system restore until the problem occurred first to rule out any changes to the system.
    The problem occurred again.
    This means that my Sync Center shows none of my synchronization partnerships.
    Can anyone suggest the setting or service that must be corrected to solve system error 31 problem?

  • Equium A100-27-Flash cards not responding do not

    I have a problem with flash cards not responding is not on my laptop Satellite A100-27.
    It has been gradually getting worse for several months, period during which Windows would warn me that "Toshiba Flash Cards not responding' and invite me to look for a solution and close the program.

    This always solved the problem, but recently flash cards work while I can not, for example turn the touchpad on or off, but Windows is no longer notifying me and looking for a solution.
    The problem seems to be entirely circular, because Microsoft doesn't want to know if you bought your computer with the operating system already installed (why? Maybe they can't afford good customer!) and Toshiba offer no way at all to communicate with them directly, except at a prohibitive cost.

    I'm the only person in the world to conclude that this appalling lack of any significant customer support is a clear indication of an attitude "grass you--I'm only interested in sales and profit" and y at - it a kind soul out there that can offer the possibility of a solution?

    HI lacourtade,

    First of all keep cool!
    Why you get excited about this? These things can happen, person only and not portable is perfect. In addition, you have not tried anything yet and I think that your problem can be solved in a few minutes then listen:

    Flash cards you want to say are part of the package of added value. So you should try to reinstall the Toshiba tool and you can download the latest version here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Before installing the latest version, remove the old first. Restart the computer, and then install the version you downloaded.

    Good luck! :)

  • Equium A100-306: Vista does not read MMC cards - MMC1 device has no drivers

    Have installed all the drivers vista toshiba and my reading SD support page cards well.

    However, when I insert a MMC card Vista drivers but can't find. Said that peripheral MMC1 has no drivers.

    Help please

    Your Equium read MMC with XP card? If Yes, then I suggest you to reinstall your drivers and check if you have forgotten to download some drivers for download/install.

    Sometimes you can find the drivers that are not on the European website on the Canadian site of toshiba:

  • Equium A100 av buttons do not work properly

    I have a satellite a100 with play buttons pause and f/r on the left side of the keyboard. Suddenly and without apparent reason, two of them refused to work. Only the stop button and the button of the internet will continue to operate? It would be a software problem or do you not think that the buttons are broken inside the machine?

    Hello

    I don t think that the laptop or command buttons are broken. In my opinion the Toshiba control utility will not work. Why? Who knows? Maybe there's something wrong with the registry entries.

    I recommend you to download the Toshiba control tool and the common modules of the driver page.
    First remove the old controls of the operating system. Then restart the computer, reinstall the common modules and the new command buttons Toshiba utility.
    After restarting the laptop buttons should again work.

    Good luck and have a guy day ;)
