• Cannot access the cd/dvd drive

  I use a laptop Toshiba A300, I do not have cd driver icon in the Control Panel, but the driver is present, I installed the latest service pack tried to update and restore drivers - getting error code 19, even the microsoft fix, this site could not solve, I'm stupid or what?

  Hi BJGreen,

  Thanks for posting your question.

  Please follow the suggestions listed below.

  Step 1:

  Since you have already tried the FIXIT tool and it didn't quite good; I recommend you try to change the registry manually, because it is more reliable. To do this the steps (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 ) mentioned below.

  1) click Start and then click all programs.

  2) click Accessories, and then click Run.

  (3) type regedit and then click OK.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  (4) in the navigation pane, find and then click the following registry subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  (5) in the right pane, click UpperFilters.

  Note You can also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You don't have to delete this entry. Click UpperFilters. If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you may still have to delete the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step 8.

  (6) on the Edit menu, click on delete.

  (7) when you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

  (8) in the right pane, click LowerFilters.

  Note If you do not see the LowerFilters registry entry, unfortunately this content cannot help you. Go to the section "Next steps" to learn how you can find more solutions or more help on the Microsoft Web site.

  (9) on the Edit menu, click on delete.

  (10) when you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

  (11) exit the registry editor.

  (12) computer.

  Step 2:

  If you have installed a CD/DVD burning software recently, then I recommend you to uninstall and check if the problem is resolved and then reinstall it.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A50-108: how to remove the CD/DVD drive?

  I want to update my CD - RW drive for a dvd burner, but can't get the old drive of the laptop.
  I removed the screw on the underside of the laptop, but it won't come out.

  Do we know if there is any other screws received a way to remove the drive of any help greatly.

  Post edited by: na206

  Hello

  It's very strange that you can not remove the optical drive as DVD - ROM drive Assembly is secured with just a screw on the underside. If the screw is removed, you just pull all of the DVD-ROM drive.

  There is no other screws.

  Hello world

  I have a _ * 303 s1410 Toshiba * _ and I need to change the cd player, but inside, I found no easy way to remove it.
  There are screws appointed + * F4, F6, B25 * + etc.

  Which ones should I open?

  Thank you for helping me!

  Hello!

  I m not sure but I think that's why you need to remove the keyboard and the other parties too. In my opinion, this is a little tricky on this laptop, and you need to remove a large number of screws.

  Maybe you find a statement of disassembly with Google or ask a technician for help laptop. I think this would be the best way.

• How can I get the utility auditor of system files (SFC) in Windows XP to search for the source files on a CD in a CD/DVD EXTERNAL drive instead of the CD/DVD drive internal Windows?

  I use a Dell Dimension E310 PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition.  The CD/DVD drive has stopped recognizing CD long ago.  (He still recognizes DVD but not CD).  I use an external drive to CD/DVD of Asus.  I keep getting messages that Windows need to replace versions unrecognized some Windows file and asks me to insert my source CD into the CD/DVD drive.  I checked the MS Knowledge Base and got instructions on how to use the utility (SFC) System File Checker to replace the unrecognized Windows files.  I started the process and inserted the source of CD files (recovery CD provided by Dell with the PC when I bought it) in the drive of external CD/DVD, but the SFC would not recognize it it.  He just kept asking me to insert the CD of source files in the CD/DVD drive.  So I have to find a way to get the SFC utility to find files in the external CD/DVD drive source - or I have to take the PC to the Geek Squad, buy a new CD/DVD drive and get them to install it.  Would appreciate any help you can provide.

• Re: Satellite A100-692 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

• Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

  I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
  Please, help me!

  Hello

  You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
  If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
  A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

  You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

  Check this back and forth!

  Good luck

Once done, you will be able to send and receive data from your computer to the USB...

• My cd/dvd drive has disappeared. All trying to solve the problems of the code 19 appears. How can I get the cd/dvd drive F?

  my cd/dvd drive has stopped working.  He said after a repair code 19.  How to restore the drive?

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

  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 make sure that the cables in 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 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.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.
