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

After the foregoing:

References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

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
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry settings for your
CD/DVD drive someone with the same model.

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 devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  • You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

    Hello

    I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

    Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

    I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

    Thank you

    Hello
    For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

  • Firmware for Toshiba ODD-DVD SD - R5272

    Dear support,

    I have a Toshiba ODD-DVD SD - R5272 installed in my computer. This drive can write according to technical specification, DVD - R, but my drive, can not because my firmware is outdated. Even after several searches online and on tohsiba-Support pages, I haven´t find any firmware for my ODD-DVD.

    I hope you can give me the latest firmware and software for assigned Flash, SD-R5272, for Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi SDR5272,

    > Dear support,
    Just for your information: It's just a forum user to user here and no official support from Toshiba. If you can talk with normal people like you and me, and I doubt that someone could give you an update for this drive.

    > can write, but my DVD-R disc can not because my firmware is outdated
    The firmware has nothing to do with it. If the drive specification says that you can burn DVD-R media, you can do. With a new firmware, you can upgrade your player and add new features. It s bug just setting but not more.

    My personal opinion is that the problem is related to the brand of DVD - R. Have you tested different brands? I would recommend medium high quality Verbatim or TDK for example. They are really good and never had a problem with them. :)

  • Re: Satellite A100-955: I need a firmware for Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841S

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A100-955, and I need a firmware for my CD/DVD drive.
    It works fine and bad in different times.
    My current version is 1.60. I can't find an update anywhere! Or at least the same firmware...

    I can't find it on CPR1, I can't find it on the Web from Panasonic website. Help!

    Hello

    I checked the Toshiba page and there is no updated firmware for this CURIOUS.
    Usually if you have some problems with reading or writing to the disks, then this means that the STRANGE beginning of malfunctions and no update firmware could help.
    Perhaps the drive's laser lens is not ok this happens after a long period of use.

    Maybe you can try to clean the lens with the help of alcohol and lint.

    If that does not help, then you should try different discs from different manufacturers
    And the last option could be replacement drive.

    Hi Bruce,.

    Try to remove the GEARAspiWDM entry.

    To remove the GEARAspiWDM entry double-click UpperFilters and, under value data, delete GEARAspiWDM > OK

    Create a system restore point beforehand and restart the computer after.

    However, if you have an application that uses the GEARAspiWDM, like iTunes, just install the latest version of hardware drivers (4.021.1) and that no changes to the registry:

    Brand of the disc can be a problem.

    Most of us don't burn with yet. There were serious problems that several generations back and I never use to burn now other than for testing. Construction of an image and burn with ImgBurn if you're on PC; Toast if mac.

    I was also worried that discs that burn successfully to you run the risk of not to play well on all players.
