  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner 'could' help.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  ===========================================

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  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

  the parameters.

• DVD and CDROM will not read the disc

  I recently reinstalled Vista on my PC. In the process, I put a lot of files on a DVD rom for backup. My PC is now updated and everything works fine. However, I put he disc in the drive, it will attempt to read, but no files appear on the disc. However, when I click on "computer", then "E: / (DVD rom player)" it shows who have 4 + GB of information stored on disk. How can I get these files to appear and become available?

  Hi dharmapaws,

  This can sometimes happen if an audio device is disabled or if windows media player is already running in the background when the disc is inserted, then you can check this.

  You can also check if you are able to recover the files on another computer. If so, see if you can extract them and burn a new copy.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Response

  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.

  Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

  I did the entire bottom.

  1. click on Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

  2 click on the hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  3 right-click on the CD-RW/DVD drive, and then select set to update driver.

  He asks if I have an OEM driver and / disk... NO.. I run the program through...

  "Hardware update Wiz can not find a better match the software installed"

  4. right click on the graphics card and select Update driver. »

  There is no "graphics card" on the material.  This machine has integrated graphics using a part of the main memory (or other) to run the video section:

  I find:

  AUDIO, VIDEO and GAME controllers (announcement)

  Audio codecs

  Audio drivers

  Legacy video capture device

  Media control devices

  Audio Sigma

  Video codecs

  All this seem normal but above I see YELLOW TWO warnings under 'OTHER DEVICES '.

  ?!  Ethernet controller "drivers for this divide (code28) is not installed.

  ?! VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA Compatible) I didn't HAVE NO IDEA if THIS if APPLIES OR NOT

  Device type - other devices

  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 '.

  No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

  I got a glance at other posts on the site of the people who have had a similar problem and I'm starting to think that my drive is defekt!

  The defective hard drives after extracting audio from a CD to store on my MP3 player. I arrived at almost the end of the CD and the drive started to jump so I took out the cd.
  After that, he would not read the discs and returned the device IO error that others have had.

  First thing I did was install the driver and cleaned the lens. No luck. Then I removed the device in Device Manager and reinstalled windows, still no luck. Then I tried the registery fix. I even removed the drive and put it back in, my same experience if this can sometimes fix things. Still no joy.
  As a last resort, I tried to find the firmware for the drive a Matsu * UJ850, but could ony find another OEM manufacturing of the firmware.

  Firmware is for the toshiba Variant? I have really no idea why he left after the extraction of a CD. He had a very light use and is more than 1 year. If there is a way to repair rather than shell out on a new, one I would welcome suggestions.
