• CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

  Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
  Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
  while others are doing so correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
  could help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
  issue.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
  tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
  the reader.

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives

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

  This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
  is worth it.

  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 check the cables
  both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
  power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
  and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  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.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the

• I lost the use of my DVD player, can not find drivers, and if 'if', I could find my recovery disc I could use - I needhelp to recover the drivers please!

  How to replace the drivers lost for dvd drive that is not recognized by the computer.

  If you can connect to the internet, go to the website of the manufacturer of your make and model of PC support and required drivers should be available there.

  Hello

  Have you tried to install a third party player to check if the problem persists?
  You can test it with VLC player. Download is free.

  You created the recovery DVDs?
  It will be interesting to know if the DVD writing is possible.
  Only a few DVD recognized correctly in Windows Explorer?

  You know that's not easy to say what the problem is here. You need to know if it's general order questions with optical drive or related to the drive that you are using.

• Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

  Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

  My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

  I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

  An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

  I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

  Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

  Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

  Thanks for any help,

  PIONEER DVD - RW DVR-K12D
  Driver provider: Microsoft

  Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

  However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

  So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

  CD\DVD player does not display the contents of the data DVD, but will display the content of the data CD.  What is happening on more than one PC, and it began when Active Directory GPOS have been applied for the PC.  If untying policies the problem persists.  What happens on DVD ROM and DVD RAM drives.  Scanning software has been added to these machines, think it might be an ASPI crush.  All these machines are XP SP3 running McAfee.  When you insert a DVD with data on this topic, the name of the drive in windows password DVD RAM drive to CD drive, and if you try and browse the DVD it displays as a blank CD.  I changed something on the PC with the policy but cannot understand what he.  Other identical PC can view the contents of the DVD very well, but they never had the same strategies.  Any ideas, thank you.

• On Qosmio G20 DVD player does not work

  On my laptop dvd player does not work perfectly.
  I can watch DVDs and CDs, but I can't burn CDs or DVDs at all.

  This laptop is a former view model and think that when I bought the store I bought it since deleted most of the information

  Help, please

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

  First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
  In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

  Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
  This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.

• My DVD player does not open when I click on the button

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.
  My DVD player does not open when I click on the button.

  I tried clicking on eject on the DVD drive icon in my computer and it comes up with an error message.
  I think I deleted the cookies the other day. Who would have something to do with the problem?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated that I really don't want to send my phone to a technician.

  Hello

  Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
  Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

  You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

  Usually, this should help to open the drive manually.

• DVD player will not read the discs more after burn fail

  Something strange happen to my DVD player. I tried to burn a blank DVD but it failed without any error message: the DVD has not been recognized. Since then the DVD player will not only read one of my other burned DVD that I need for my daily work. Can anyone help?

  DVD players are not particularly robust, especially designed patterns for portability. It may have burned his laser for DVD work.

• P200 DVD player does not appear an image with the Toshiba software.

  Hello

  I just posted this question a few hours before, but it seems to have disappeared from the forum, so go again us.

  When I use the Toshiba Software to play a DVD, I get no image, although the interface commands and the sound is very good. The DVD player is fine when I use Windows Media player. This problem suddenly started a few days ago.

  Surely, it is a software problem, as the DVD player would not work with Windows Media Player otherwise. However, I wonder why the software would suddenly stop working.

  Any suggestions?

  Thannks,

  Rich

  PS I tried to update the software as someone suggested before the last thread has disappeared, but Vista stated that the new version is older than the current version, I despite the fact that last year, I bought this pc, and the most recent version is dated to this year. Strange.
