    I tried uninstalling the drive and then to restart the laptop but it is has not been successful. I recently downloaded and installed the Service Pack 1 for Vista and I have read that there have been problems with device drivers and wonder if there is such a body?

    Are there updated drivers available for this device?

    Hi Paul,.

    You don't say what model of laptop you have, but generally speaking if you are using Windows XP then you will use the standard Microsoft drivers for your scanner.

    However, you can Toshiba drivers and utilities download from Toshiba web site by clicking on the Support section and downloads and selection of files to download. You will need to fill in the details of your laptop so that the list of appropriate driver (unless you have provided these details when you register).

     Download XP_CD-DVD - Fix.zip and save this file on your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it, and double-click the file to extract the content. Find the EXE file that you extracted and double click it.  A confirmation dialog box appears when the script is done.  You may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

    Works on XP and Vista. Good luck!

  • On laptop CD/DVD drive is not recognized/is missing. Having read the other topics, problem still not solved.

    I'm on a computer laptop gateway and my cd player does not work all of a sudden. I can eject and put CD in there and it will hum for awhile, but nothing will happen. I went to Device Manager and it is not yet listed. I read the other topics and the problem is still not resolved, please help. Also, my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder has not all folders in there, so I can't go to system/etc to delete anything because there is nothing to remove. Thank you for your time

    Hello

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of 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
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Equium A200-1V0-CD/DVD drive does not read disks

    Hello

    in 'My computer', it shows the drive as being there for the dvd/cd etc, and when you put a disc in it makes all the noises whirring that it starts to read, but they are actually not autostart or anything and you do not see them on the screen 'my computer '.

    It lists just like the normal reader, as thoough, that nothing was in it.

    Double clicking on it does nothing at all, nor open or explore.

    Any ideas please?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    There is a general solution but it doesn't work still, but in my opinion it s no doubt worth a try.

    First of all, you need to remove the drive from Device Manager.
    Simply access the Device Manager, mark the CD/DVD drive and remove it from the list of devices.

    In addition, you will need to access the registry using the regedit command.
    There, you have to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Finally, restart the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD has been recognized again.

    Hi Christine,

    Please check in the Device Manager to see if there's anything showing against your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM is always displayed, you should be able to run the process of troubleshooting against it to check for possible errors.

    If your CD-ROM is more listed and then launch the 'Scan for hardware changes' option to see if it detects your CD-ROM.

  • Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

    Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

    The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
    There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
    I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
    I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

    I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
    I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

    The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
    Sorry I don't have any other information.

    Can anyone help.

    Thank you

    Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

    But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
    If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

    You can try a system restore to a prior restore point you have been affected by the issue.
    Note: when you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
