Equium A80 - BIOS does not detect new CD/DVD drive

Hello

I had to change a DVD player in my laptop Equium A80 earlier and now have problems using the restore DVD to my laptop to factory settings. I updated the BIOS with the latest version available, but the BIOS is still not able to see the DVD player, so does not start a restore. The DVD is fine once Windows has loaded and works very well on another PC under BIOS. I tried another DVD drive on the laptop, but he is unable to see anyone.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

Thank you!

Hi mate,

First of all the CD/DVD drive must be recognized in the BIOS that you can boot from the CD/DVD drive. Otherwise it of not possible to boot from the Toshiba recovery disc.

What is the type of the old/new CD/DVD drive?

The user manual contains a list of compatible drives. It appears here? The fact is that not all drives are compatible with all laptops.

    Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.

  • BIOS does not detect the CD/DVD on Satellite A205-S4639 device

    Hello!

    My laptop Toshiba works not very well, he has the following problem:

    When I enter the BIOS program (by pressing F2) main 'BIOS hand', the CD/DVD device does not appear in the module.
    Click on the link of the image: [main BIOS | http://softvaina.googlepages.com/BIOS.Main.jpg]

    Then, I go to the BIOS boot module and the CD/DVD device appears in the list of boot devices, che the image link: [BIOS Boot | http://softvaina.googlepages.com/BIOS.Boot.jpg |] BIOS Boot]

    Finally, I try to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM and it works (check this box [Image | http://softvaina.googlepages.com/BootMenu.jpg |]) Boot menu]).

    In the environment of OS (Ubuntu and Windows XP), the CD/DVD device does not appear, and it does not work.
    The laptop features:

    Make/model: TOSHIBA Satellite A205-S4639
    T.O.D.: 160 + 120 GB
    RAM: 3 GB DDR2
    Video: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300
    Optical drive: PIONEER DVD - RW DVR-K17LF

    Note: I've updated the BIOS, but the problem persists.

    What is going on?

    > Then, I go to the BIOS start module and the CD/DVD device appears in the boot device list, click the link of the image: BIOS Boot
    It is a boot menu and it always seems to know whether or not the CD/DVD or HARD disk drive has been inserted!

    In my opinion, your CD/DVD drive is faulty or there is no link with the portable CD/DVD player.

    A mobile technician must verify and if necessary should replace

    Hello

    Which SSD drive you have exactly?
    I also think it s a compatibility problem between the HARD disk controller (motherboard) and the current SSD drive.

    So you should check if you have the latest firmware of the SSD drive and if it of possible, try another disc SSD of a friend, for example.

    By the way: have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS?

    My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

    I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

    When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

    A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  • Windows 7 does not detect multiple external hard drives

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop to 7 Home Premium. I have two 500 GB external hard drives. When I connect them individually to the system, they are recognized and I can copy files to and from these External Drives. But when I try to connect both at the same time, Windows 7 does not detect the drive I connect then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If the disks are powered by the USB bus and do not have their own external power supply the problem is that the laptop does not provide sufficient USB power to control both.

    The USB specification, is that each port should provide 500mA at 5V. To keep their batteries, laptops usually provide 500mA to share between all available ports. If you need to use several USB devices with significant power, you must either externally powered USB hub or to provide the devices with their own power supply to cutting.

    Hello mike salinas.

    1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

    2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

    I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

    Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

    You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

    First go to Device Manager and search for CD/DVD drive.
    Select this device and delete it from the list.

    Now, open the registry (type regedit in the search) and remove the filters above and below to the following registry key:
