  Hello

  1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

  After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

  I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

  on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

  2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

  Not nothing... He's here

  3. How do you try to burn CDs?

  MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

  4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

  I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

  How to troubleshoot common problems that occur when a Windows XP-based computer cannot read a CD or DVD

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321641

  Did yesterday.  It installed/ran "MR. Microsoft Fixit' with the result:

  "Question: media in the CD-RW/DVD drive is not readable" CLICKED top DIFFICULTY... and after computer "worked" on this subject awhile, he says STATUS: fixed.  St ill did not.   MP9 introduced the format of the DVD player but don't seem to read anything other then showing a list:

  UNKNOWN

  Title 1

  Title2

  Title 3 etc., but could not do anything with this list.

  He appeared a box asking if I wanted to update my MP9... sure why not so I shut everything down and uninstalled 9 and installed Media player 11.

  Go BACK to # 1. now once again.  This is where I am.  MP11 shows all DVD data, the chart "the Album/DVD cover, all"titles"on the DVD, AND play the track audio 'intro' DVD but will not actually READ the DVD. "

  So far it's PROGRESS.  We are at a point where it SEEMS at least that we are ready to PLAY and MP can SEE all the info on the DVD.

  I see many people on other sites of the same question: Player does not work after FORMAT operating system and reinstall of WIN (and in my case: WinXP SP3 and WIN DVD4 of OEM disc)

  Thanks a lot for your help so far... I hope that we can get to the next step and get the reader of CD-RW/DVD on 'PLAY '.

• Home Edition Vista won't read DVD

  my system will not read DVDs, why? I am not computer savy and I can't understand this at all. Help, please?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

  Can you clarify your question - if the DVD is not read by your PC (not detect the DVD) or just the video does not play?

  If the DVD-video is not played, you need to install a codec appropriate to play DVDs, no codec is available in your system to read the DVD. You can use PowerDVD, WinDVD, or any other software that you like. Once you install them, will also be installed the codec and so you can watch DVDs using Windows Media Player or Media Center.

  If this is not the case of many to answer.

• My inner smartdrive dvd player won't read DVDs more.  I have updated to Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

  I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

  I have no TV, only my computer and phone at low prices.  I need to watch that my library borrowed from the dvd.

  Thank you.

• Computer won't read DVD / CD

  I put forward to CD/DVD a few minutes... nothing...
  I go to work, and then on the drive itself...
  I double click on the drive to open the CD/DVD inside the computer and it ejects the disc saying that I need to insert the disc...

  What is happening and why it won't work?

  Hello Zee3,

  Thank you for posting.  This happens with every DVD that you insert into the drive?  If it is only happening with 1 disc may be a bad DVD but if it happens with all DVD/CD that you put in the drive then the drive may have failed.  If this is the case on all disks I recommend to contact your OEM to see if the drive is still under warranty.

  Thank you

• Satellite P200-1EE won't read DVD

  When he was working, DVD automatically play of Toshiba's HD DVD player. Now the disk swirls around a few times and then. Nothing, except for the odd work.

  If I click on the DVD player on my desktop, a box comes up saying "the specified drive is not found. Check the setting by going to settings - settings of the shares - Source, or otherwise verify that disk has been correctly connected to the PC.

  I have not checked the settings that I have no idea where to get them, but I guess that the drive is properly plugged to the computer he uses to work perfectly.

  Any help, or even a pointing direction in will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Therefore, you should test if you can use another software.

• DVD-ROM drive won't read DVD

  I have this CD/DVD which will play normal CD but will not play any DVD (DVD + R, DVD-R). I noticed that the DVD would not work when I was a BONE

  RESETTLEMENT. I put in my Windows XP restore disc, and installed successfully. Then I put in my drivers disk that was on a DVD-ROM drive and it wouldn't work!

  I could hear the spinning, but it sounded abnormal, and nothing appeared in my computer. Not open same AutoPlay. Frustrated, I decided to get the drivers of

  sites of different manufacturers, including the driver of CD-ROM to see if I could start the DVD. Even after that I installed the drivers for the hard disk, DVD will not play again.

  Any ideas?

• UJDA750 will not read dvd - r

  Subject he says all new Tecra M4 and integrated carpet * a UJDA750 DVD/CDRW combo won't read DVD-R, in fact until I uninstalled the DLA & NTI software it's rather rude on the reading of a CD - RW!

  What is the point of a new DVD player that can not read the DVD-R commune!

  I want to emphasize that the media reads fine in 5 different readers other than that burned the dvd - r to the origin. I have tried 1 x, 4 x & 8 x media with the same disappointing results.

  Hello

  I don t know why it isn't possible, but have you checked all other CD for writing?
  If this problem occurs with any type of media, so it s best to contact a Toshiba Service partner and ask for verification of the disc.

  Read CD - RW discs, to a UDF reader software. Discs CD - RW are written in UDF 1.5 format. This UDF reader software can be downloaded from Adaptec "s web site: www.adaptec.com"

  This software can play CD - RW discs written with rewritable CD drives that are written in UDF format. Without UDF reader software, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in s Toshiba laptops can only read ISO 9660 discs.

• 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.

  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

• Equium A200: Mat * a UJ - 850 s read DVD but not CD

  Post on behalf of a friend who has problems with its Equium A200. He has a stack * a reader of DVD UJ - 850 s, this is the rub.
  The DVD player will read and play the media of origin such as the movies but will not read any CD, whether they are originals or CD - R.

  She telephoned support who asked her if she installed iTunes and told him to follow a few steps to delete upper and lower filters in the registry.

  She has done (although not had lower filters), the problem remains. It looks like a hardware failure for me, thoughts?

  See you soon

  > It sounds like a hardware failure for me, thoughts?
  Yes, it might be possible that hardware is defective.
  I mean that looks like the laser lens was stressed and may not calibrate correctly in the right direction in order to be able to read the CD.

  But before that you would try to replace the driver I recommend to test one thing;
  You can try to boot from the recovery disc and may reinstall the whole OS.
  Notes; everything is erased from the HARD drive using the recovery disk. So back up the data first.

  After restoring, you will get a notebook with the settings and then you could try to read from a CD disc.
  If this is not possible there is a hardware problem

• Equium A200-1VO - "a disk read error has occurred."

  Hello

  I had my Equium A200-1VO since December 2007 and has never really had any problems with it atall.

  However, last night after a Windows Vista update and restart, my laptop won't start upward. I get a black screen announcing:

  "A disk read error has occurred.

  Please press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

  I've had no BSOD, and no other suggestion that something was wrong, everything worked perfectly. I checked the HARD drive to see if it had come off his link and reinserted it. But I get the same message.

  I am presented with the only possibility to use the recovery disk, but this means wiping everything out there and start again. I'd rather try to recover my documents before taking radical measures, if it is possible atall.

  If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciate.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  In my view, the error message says a lot: theoretically, your HARD drive may be defective and must be replaced but before that I would test using fitness to drive or another program. Just use Google to find such programs.

  Maybe something was tangled up in your Windows installation. About reinstalling Windows?

  You didn't back up your data to a second drive? I m wondering about this, because the backup should always be made.
  However, if you use an external HARD drive box you can save it on another computer.

  Good luck! :)
