Equium A60 CD/DVD Drive problem?

My cd/dvd on my laptop Equium A60 drive seems to have stoped working. If I put a disc in the drive of the yellow light on the drive flashes then nothing happens. If I go to my computer, that the drive is most recognized either, and only the hard drive is displayed. I recently downloaded the bios update and I don't know if it affected it?

Can someone tell me what happened or how to fix it?

Thank you very much

Hello

Please check if Device Manager the drive occurs.
Try moving the drive and reboot your device. The operating system should recognize the drive again.
Please post again if the problem persists.

Good bye

  • Equium A100: CD/DVD drive wont read - D:\ error message is not accessible

    Hello.

    My cd/dvd rw drive will not read certain DVD/CD-ROM. I bought my equium (A100 I think) laptop, nine less than a year ago and have had this problem since I got it. The disk which do not work on the laptop work fine on another pc / dvd players, if the disc is not defective. At first I thought that it would be a driver issue because some of the disc worked fine, so I never got the laptop back to the store I bought.

    A message appears "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error".

    I recently just got internet installed in my house and I went to the toshiba site to see if there are newer drivers that would solve this problem. I downloaded a bios update and an update of dvd ram and installed, but am still having the same problem.

    Can someone help me cause am totally stuck on what to do now.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    As you have probably not known the CD/DVD drive support not all backgrounds.
    In the user manual, you will find a list of supported CD and DVD

    But I assume that you are the reader cannot read certain media because of the impure registry as this other thread mentioned:

  • 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 A60-155 - HARD drive upgrade

    I have an Equium A60-155 with 40G HARD drive.
    The manual says that this model comes with up to 80G installed, but is it possible to upgrade to 120, or even 160G?

    Hello

    If your laptop comes with a HDD of 80 GB then you ve got a good chance a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive would be supported.
    I have no course with a size of 160GB HARD drive but I m m the 160 GB might be too afraid.

    I recommend you use and test a 120 GB

  • Satellite 2430 DVD drive problem

    Hello
    My Satellite 2430 has had a strange DVD problem and may not know what is all about. All started when I tried to make a full recovery. The unit was not able to boot from the DVD. I checked the DVD player with different bootable disk, but still nothing. Unit won't boot from DVD drive even if you press F12 and peripheral DVD selected. Not to mention that the recovery DVDs is loaded normally in my desktop pc. Notepad starts Windows OK the HARD disk and, which is incredible, is that, inside Windows, everything is OK. The DVD player works like a dream. However, it is not enough to perform a full restore, as the recovery process cannot be initialized by Windows. A leap that the BIOS is at the origin of the problem, I've upgraded to version 1.6, but there is no change in the behavior of the DVD.
    Any thoughts, before using a big-big hammer?

    Hello

    Have you tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then first change the startup procedure to the CD player. The local network must be on the end.

  • Equium A60 - Max HARD drive?

    Hey, forum noob here.

    I know this has been asked before (see [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=119435𝊋], [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=81428𓸔] and [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=136793𡙙]), but I have yet to see a definitive answer, so...

    What is the biggest HARD drive I can put in an Equium A60? Anyone know?

    (Processor is Celeron 2.8 GHz;) Current BIOS is version 1.8 c).

    NB. this a 2nd or 3rd hand reconditioned machine. The insignia on the bottom says "TOSHIBA EQUIUM A60 PSA67E-00300C8J" but SystemInformationForWindows tells me that it is a Satellite A60. So maybe someone has used a disc re - install from a Satellite A60 at some point. I don't have if this is important - I mention this it just in case...

    TIA. Any help would be appreciated.

    Tom

    Just if someone has tested, it can offer a definitive answer. Of course, nobody has played with such things but let's be realistic.
    Equium A60 comes with IDE ATA 6 HDD SATA not. AFAIK these HDDs have limit on 136 GB or something like that. So I think that you can use all the disk up to 130 GB.
    In my opinion, you can use maximum 120 GB IDE ATA HDD. I'm not 100% sure, but if you use the more big HARD drive is more than 136 GB will not be recognized.

    So much about the theory. ;)
    I just hope someone can confirm or deny my theory on HDD max.

    Bye and good luck!

    Hello

    Check if all screws are fixed and that nothing is missing at the bottom of the unit.
    On some portable computers, the disk is fixed with the screws under the keyboard.
    Maybe you question these screws is missing but I recommend you first to check the background.

    I searched many forums, but there is no ansfer of satisfaing I can't use USB key to install it.

  • Code 19 CD/DVD drive problem.

    My CD/DVD drive is not recognized.  I go into the Device Manager and it says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    I tried to uninstall then restart and reinstall as troubleshooting says and I still have this problem.

    I tried "Mr. Fix it" and tells me that it cannot solve the problem.

    I tried to go through the steps of using regedit and there are no "less" filter to remove, only a "superior" filter  When I look for what to do if there is no lower filters to delete, there is no help in finding.

    I checked my driver, that is until this day of nto.

    I tried a system restore. Did not work.

    I am at my wits end and any advice would be very welcome.  It seems at this point, I need to reinstall windows xp, but I have no idea how to do it even without a working cd player.

    My OS is Windows XP pro with service pack 3, and is my reader of cd/dvd LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-5236V.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    In this case, try to remove the filters in your registry of the computer from the CD/DVD drive to get rid of the error CODE. Please see the link below:

    Hello

    It is my first request for assistance.
    My CD/DVD drive is most recognized, and when I go to Device Manager and click on CD/DVD I'm informed that the cdrom.sys file is there but cannot be loaded.

    An error number 39 is reported.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but please keep things simple to the actions of a single line if possible.

    Of course, you can get a few tips ;)
    I think you might find faster if you are looking for first in the forum, but I'll try to help you too.

    He error code 39 is very common issue and can be resolved easily.
    See this MS knowledge base article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us

    So first of all remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
    Then access the registry using the regedit command and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD drive has been installed again.

    That s it. ;)
