Impossible to format a cd

How is it that I can not format cd I put on my cd/dvd room?

Hello

Did you follow the resolution of the problems that I posted above?

You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help. Have you tried
other CD discs, another brand?

CD have a tolerance + - and you have to write on the side outside their tolerance. They can be given
However, it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

You can check with the system manufacturer and the manufacturer of the device firmware update possible.

And of course, the drive might be bad.

  • Impossible to format my Sandisk Ultra Plus 16 GB MicroSD

    Hi, I bought this product about an hour ago from Bestbuy. It was sealed in his case, there is no way, it was a homecoming.

    When I insert the SD card with the inside microSD adapter to my computer, it asks to format the drive. Then the Format Windows removable disk appears and says that my card is 30.6 MB... When I click on Start to get in shape, with the default given the options, it returns back that it is impossible to format.

    I tried the SD Formatter 4.0 card. He says that it is write protected, even if the switch is not in write protect mode.

    I have a MicroSD USB Reader. I tried this way too, and it does not work.

    I would like to get assistance.

    I found my problem.
    As well my card reader USB MicroSD and SD of the laptop slot could not format/read it. I don't know for what reason. But they were a couple of years.
    Today, I bought a new card reader. I could open the drive very well and format.
    Hope this helps some people.

  • Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

    Hello

    IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
    I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

    This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

    The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

    I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

    If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

    My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

    Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

    Help me please, friends.

    Hello

    It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

    I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

    According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
    If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

    I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.

  • Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

    Hello!

    I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
    250 GB HARD drive
    C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
    D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
    E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

    Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
    None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

    Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
    Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

    The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

    Thanks for your help!

    P.S. These applications did not help me:
    Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
    Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
    OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
    HDD Regenerator

    Thus you get back all your important data?

    I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

    FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
    But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

    A range of cells is formatted as numbers, but when I enter a number, it displays as text (cells at random) and I can't reformat then into numbers using cells > number.  This causes formulas using invalid text cells.  I transferred this worksheet to another user, I created and it works fine. I installed all available updates.

    Assuming that you have restarted your Mac and done the usual troubleshooting steps you can try to select a cell that is giving you trouble and pressing the "Del" key  Then, you may need to enter a number of successes.

  • Impossible to format HDDR500E03X

    Hello.

    I have 2 identical HDDR500E03X external USB disks.

    vI can be used to store data and the other to save on. They have installed fine and worked very well. (XP home OS) Recently, my backup software began to report that the second drive (the one that I use as support) has been altered. I tried reformatting, but it comes to 1% then stops. I tried it on another computer, with the same result. The other HARD drive is fine and works on my two computers.

    Help, please! Thank you

    Hello

    Just a question: what do you think is the answer?

    In my opinion, the case is clear: If your backup program reports that the second HDD is corrupted and successfully, you can t format HARD drive HARD drive needs to be replaced. I think he has bad sectors or something.

    Then please contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can help you to exchange the HARD drive.

  • HP 250 g3: impossible to format laptop

    Hello, I need help please!

    Yesterday, I bought a hp 250 g3 without operating system and I'll have much trouble after format.

    I have windows 7 ultimate x 64 disc, but after much cleaned formats successfully I can't install hp drivers.

    I have downloaded all drivers on the hp support site and when I use a usb key to save it on my new laptop stick is not recognizable! I also tried several different sticks but all are the same, laptop can not recognize anything and I can't install drivers.

    The other big problem is when I plug in an ethernet cable to connect the laptop to the internet is no longer recognizable. I can't connect to the internet with a wi - fi also because the drivers are missing.

    Please help me find a solution, I never had a problem like that, why hp sells laptops freedos if I can't put the drivers inside.

    Sorry for my bad English, I'm writing correctly. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support. Welcome!

    I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

    Provider like HP sell most of the computers with the operating system preinstalled. When the person buys a machine with no OS, they are supposed to know how to install the drivers and how to set up their machine with the desired OS.

    The USB key can be broken (highly unlikely) or insert you in a port (Cap) for which the drivers are not installed. Windows doesn't know what to do with them. You could also be inserted the USB into USB v3 port (if any)?

    Solutuons-> burn the drivers on CD/DVD and insert the support for the laptop. Transfer the files and install ALL drivers.

    Finally, apply all Windows including optional updates. I checked, and your model includes CD/DVD device.

  • Pavilion G4 1303AU: impossible to format the hard disk in any case

    I had 8 current enforcement windows on my system, then I thought to install linux (distribution mageia) on it. Before I formatted the entire system and created primary and extended partitions as well as some allocated space was left for linux.

    Then I installed windows 8 on a primary partition C. I installed linux on the unallocated space, and follow the steps in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLu1NwsZr48

    I don't understand what was going on well.

    After I don't have grub GUI screen 2 so I rebooted the system and windows 8 started normally and automatically.

    Now, I decide to remove the linux partitions cz they did not appear on the home screen (for the dual boot option)

    I went to dskmgmt.msc and tried to delete the partition containing linux. The removal process has continued and eventually hanged. So I rebooted my pc and boom, the pc will not boot into windows 8.

    It shows crashes and win8 logo... I tried to format it, there also, it shows the start with logo screen and crashes in windows 7, it loads the files, comes up to the part where the logo builds up and crashes, tried mageia live cd also, there also it hangs on the splash screen.

    I tried default BIOS, I tried to format it using usb, everything.

    The hard drive gets detected as "laptop hard drive" in the bios... so I don't think that it must be a hardware problem.

    I hope there is a solution, because the laptop repair shops say that he died. I did not trust them because how can a partition physically damaged hard drive!

    Please respond quickly with a solution...

    I should be grateful!

    You can refuse to accept it, but if Diskpart--> List volume or drive list does not see the drive when the data and power connectors are active, then the disk controller has not.  The hard drive is the material of the trash. Replace it with another new hard drive.

    An electromagnet not wip data from the hard drive. The hard drive uses magnets neodymium as p [art of its design.
