Equium A200-1V0: DVD-RAM UJ-850 s does not read data discs

My laptop seems to have decided to stop reading data disks.
However, there is no problem with the audio CD, but when I insert a data disc such as the software considers the disk is empty and try to format the drive.
I searched internet day for solutions and tried without success to the following:

Removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry.
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.
Bought DriverWhiz (waste of money!)
Tried to access disc command prompt that generated the message "incorrect function".
Tried to use the enforcement function and access an exe file that I know is on the disk, but it comes up saying I need to format the drive
Uninstall service packs
I even thought it might be something to do with the MagicVirtual drive I had installed so I uninstalled completely which
I uninstalled real player

I'm about 3 minutes to destroy my laptop so any help would be appreciated.

Laptop: Equium A200 - 1V0
Drive DVD - RW: MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA
OS: Windows Vista

Hello

Deleting upper and lower filters was the first idea that I'd like to share with you, but it seems that you have already tried this solution proposal

How about windows boot CD or a linux live CD?
Is this possible?

If not then I thing that the question could be linked to the wrong material work I m thinking on the issue of laser lenses eventually the laser lens can not calibrate properly and this could be a problem

In this case, only a replacement CD/DVD drive can help greet

  • 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... :)

    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 check the cables
    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 system manufacturer
    and the manufacturer of the 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

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not work in Satellite M30X 122

    Hello!

    I am owner of a Satellite M30X - 122 Notebook with Mat * one reader CD DVD-RAM UJ-820 s.

    In recent weeks the disc suddenly stops working during normal use, no error message, in Windows XP System Device Manager all entries are ok, the drive is enabled and visible.
    !! Optical media access LED lites permanently, so that the reader is always available!
    I have tried using different CD, reboot Notebook, removing battery State is always the same, LED blinks several times then it lites permanent.
    After a few hours this phenomenon disapperars and I can use the drive without any problems. ! It is very annoying!

    Someone at - it experience with this problem? Please let me know.

    Don't you think that the drive needs to be replaced?
    In this case (I tried a Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-820 s on the www, I found none just renovated, new readers) does anyone know where to get a new, or a compatible UJ-820 s drive.

    Thanks in advance.
    Have a good evening.

    Hello

    I don't know where you live and can not recommend any PC shop but you can order it by the authorized service partner.

    You can also view s manuals for Satellite M30X, and page 5, you will find a list of all compatible optical disk drives. Do not buy the same but much better if you want. I hope that this info will help you find the new drive.

    Troubleshooting I can't say a lot. Try to remove the device from Device Manager and reboot the device and test again but with original media only. Make sure that you can see the contents of the CD or DVD using Windows Explorer.

    If nothing is done check for replacement.

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s do not read or burn discs

    Hi, I'm Natalie and I need help with my problem that occurs.

    Operating system:
    Windows XP Home Edition
    Laptop Toshiba Satellite
    Model A75-S229
    Multi recorder drive: CD and DVD

    The problem that happens is that I can not get any CD or DVD to work when I put them. What is happening is he's trying to load but makes the window "Not responding", unless I have the disc, then everything will be fine. What is also involved, is that I can't burn discs at all, at any speed.

    Also, I would add, when I go to my computer > right click on the DVD - RAM drive > properties and under the general tab it states:

    Type: CD player
    file system: unknown

    I don't know if that's the problem...

    Can someone help me?

    HI Isabelle.

    Please check in the Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your optical drive. Normally this will be displayed as an exclamation point against the device.

    The fact that the file system is listed as "unknown" is because the drive could not read the format of the disc so that Windors Explorer cannot identify any file structure.

    Your problem could be something very simple like a lens dirty or a faulty device driver. It is not easy to tell from your description exactly what can be wrong, but I would say you try some of the easy options so try first to clean the lens, and if this does not resolve your problem, then try to remove the drive (Device Manager) and reboot for the device will be installed new.

    If all else fails, you will have checked player be an authorized Service partner.

    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.

  • Carpet * a DVD-ram UJ-845 s does not work

    Hi everyone, I'm a little crazy for my dvd player, about 14 months I bought my 3rd toshiba laptop already.

    In the first (Satellite 5200) dvd player (combodrive with installation of dvd ram built in) has not already after a few months. I brought this back to Toshiba customer service twice and replace that thing (mast * a) twice as well... Then, the player broke down again.

    With the new Toshiba, I bought (Qosmio G20) I just got the same problems, dvd and cd function work correctly sometimes (unfortunately sometimes not as well), but the player (mast * a UJ-845 s, DL DVDwriter) recognizes not all all DVD ram.

    I hope someone can give me a hand with this problem, I'm really a little crazy about it now, and I don't want to keep running and visit the Toshiba Service Center every 2 / 3 months for the rest of my life...

    Thanks a lot anyway!

    Best regards, Erik

    Hi Erik

    It is very strange that you have problems with sides. Over the past 7 years, I worked on 5 different Toshiba laptops and I, but really never had no problem with the chance. I always use the same empty media TDK (DVD-R, DVD - RW and DVD-RAM). Everything works fine.

    I have always taken out of pre-installed software and use Nero since the beginning. I really put t understand why the DVD-RAM media are not recognized, but please do not forget the DVD-RAM driver is pre-installed correctly.

    Have you noticed that with the factory settings?

    It looks a bit like a malfunction of the equipment. Maybe the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.
