• Media in the CD/DVD drive is not readable (hp DVDRAM GT30L)

  Hello guys. This is my first post in this forum.

  I already ran the Microsoft fixit CD/DVD drive and the problem is the media in the CD/DVD drive is not readable (hp DVDRAM GT30L). I also tried the DVD in my desktop DVD player and stands so the problem is in the CD-ROM of the laptop.

  Hello Blue_Cloud213,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that the computer is unable to read the CD and DVD. Since you reduced the problem to only one computer, please try all the steps in this document from HP: disk impossible reading disks (Windows 7)

  Please let me know what happens. Thank you!

• media in the CD/DVD drive is not readable HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM-GSA-H55L help!

  How can I fix it?

  Step 1: Please do all the below even if you did 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

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  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.

  Important: The article mentioned above shows 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.

  Hello

  1. this happens with all discs or any specific drive?

  2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  3. the disc contains scratches?

  4. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Please run the fixit from Microsoft mentioned in the link below.

  Hi Euro Italia stone,

  Thank you for your message.

  What is the make and model of the press you card changed?

  You can try the DVD drive in another computer to see if it's a failure?

  What is your computer make and model?

  I suggest you check the cables connected to the training to see if they are loose.

• Recovery system on Satellite M70-204 PSM71E. The CD/DVD drive does not work

  Hello!

  Can you please give me a help and advice on how to solve the following problems:

  I got on the last minor problems for three months with Windows Installer: software updates may not always be performed successfully, an error message was issued by Windows Installer on Quick Time, when I started the computer. Apart from him, the computer has been properly runing. I was intending to restore the system with the Toshiba CD in the coming weeks to correct the problems.

  But since yesterday, I had a new problem. The CD drive is not recognized in Windows XP.

  I tried to repair the driver from the CD player, following the procedure described by Toshiba. It did not work. I don't know if this is a hardware or a software problem preventing me to recognize and use the CD drive and DVD under Windows XP and I don't know or if I can run even more a restoration process.

  _ * 1 / if I run a restore process, I think that, initially, the HD will be formatted. How can I be sure that my computer will be able to read the data from the Toshiba Recovery CD? * _ (I have today a computer that almost works. I do not want to be stuck with a dead computer, if the restore process fails because of the CD driver)

  _ * 2 / is it possible to restore without using the internal CD player? (using an external CD drive or an external hard drive) * _

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

  I delighted to hear that you solved this Mr. thank you for the comments!
