• CD/dvd drive does not work - it is recognized when the computer starts, and it is listed in the Device Manager?

  I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Compaq Presario F700. It is listed in the list of computers of readers, it is listed in Device Manager. The lites drive that the computer boots so I know it is detected. When you run itunes or media player the player does not open. When I push the drive button it will not open. It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

  Hello

  Check / settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 so watch the screen as it starts - place CD/DVD
  1st in the boot order (remember to put it at the time where the fact).

  Then put in a DVD to boot Windows and see if the driver works.

  If it doesn't then it's a hardware problem.

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

  If the drive has worked in the test above, that these can help:

  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.

• My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

  DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

  Hello

  (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

  (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

  You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

  Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

  Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

  Try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.

  Registry warning: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
  The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

  This means that the CD device is dead?

  Hey Micky,

  Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

  Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

• Satellite 2430: CD/DVD drive does not work - i/o error

  Hello all Toshiba people.i have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite 2430 for a very good price. One thing the carpet * a DVD - ram Uj - 810 drive does not work when I put in any type of cd or dvd, I get this error
  F:\ is not accessible.
  The request could not be performed because of an i/o error.

  I talked to my local computer Wizz and does everything that he suggested to the letter and still the same problem. He suggested updating the bios drivers and the only way to do that is on a disk drive that she cannot take the an or a CD or dvd drive is not working. Can you please help me!

  Begging you a lot
  Michael Borger

  In my view BIOS update will not change.
  I assume that the reader has worked in the past with the same BIOS version
  It is a drive hardware problem or some registry keys are corrupt.

  I think that it s a hardware malfunction may be a matter of lenses.
  But try this;
  Remove the drive from Device Manager and shut the laptop computer. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Then you can check the functionality.

  Otherwise, you can remove the disk from the laptop, and then start the laptop without the drive. Then stop the laptop, put the drive in the notebook and start over.
  The firmware should again loads.

  But if these procedures help t, I don t see it differently as for replace the drive

• Satellite L500 - 1CQ PSLS0E - CD/DVD drive does not work - driver problem?

  Hello

  My DVD player does not work.

  There is power to it. The engine turns when I eject and reinsert. Troubleshooting Control Panel for the equipment and devices said it is a driver problem, but cannot fix it. Problem with the driver.

  I reinstalled it from the Toshiba site.
  It records in the right place?
  I am Windows 7 64 bit and chose the right driver for it.

  Should I use the 64-bit?
  I have 3 MB of RAM which was the spec when bought.

  If I wanted to change to 32 bit how you take you without the CD/DVD drive?
  Is there any point in doing this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused.
  You are not able to boot from THE disks; Windows disk, disk recovery, disk Linux?

  If it of the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is faulty.
  Why? Because the CD/DVD drive is recognized and controlled by the BIOS when booting from CD or DVD.

  When the Windows operating system has started, the CD/DVD drive must use the Microsoft common driver which is part of the Windows operating system.
  This means that you n t need to install ALL the drivers in order to get the job of CD/DVD.

  If you can boot from any disk, but if the CD/DVD drive is not recognized by MY computer, then I recommend this:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Before you remove the upper and lower registry filters, remove the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and then go into the registry and remove the filters. Restart the unit.

  Good luck

• CD/DVD drive does not read discs on Equium A100

  My cd/dvd drive does not read any discs be it, white, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and is light to show that he is working on. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly.

  Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  Can someone help me I tried everything my friends and I can think, or is it better to send just to toshiba warranty.

  If the solution proposed by James will not help, you should try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager.
  After phone restart the operating system will recognize and initialize the disk again.
  After this review of the procedure if you can read, write the middle.
