• DvdRW drive appears as a CDRom drive

  Hi, I can not play! Its a crisis geek!

  On and off the power for a while Ive had trouble with my games, my player sometimes seem to recognize DVD, othertimes not. So it makes me wonder if it's the drive itself must be replaced. Its a laptop and the notoriously theyre garbage huh.

  When I go to my computer but and click on the drive, in bold it says it's a DVD RW drive but lighter characters below it says it's a CD player that makes me wonder if this is a problem with the computers guts o.O

  Ive tried this stupid thing of fixit from microsoft without success and reflected on toshibas website to see if theres drivers or owt must install but they think there is no need weird o.O drivers. In Manager device ive tried reinstalling drivers and things, but that has not worked. Digitized for the bad guys, but other than a dubious cookie, nothing came.

  Ive google this problem to death and have not found a solution yet:(, beaucoup de gens dans le même bateau également.) Maybe a nice person here can help ^. ^

  I am running windows 7 (not supplied with the computer, so no question of upgrade) and it is a toshiba satellite l650 laptop thingy.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this, even if you could not be a solution.<>

  Hello

  The drive could be worn or have other hardware issues although there are other possible
  causes that need to be checked.

  Check with Toshiba Support, online documentation and drivers, diagnostics, and

  Hello

  I've recently changed this laptop Windows XP MCE. I got all the drivers out of the Toshiba download except the network card page. Both versions, it lists only containing an 'uninstaller '.

• Where are drivers of devices installed for the drives listed?

  If I install a graphics card, sound card, card network or other maps add-on, I need usually to also install a device driver. These device drivers are listed in the Panel-> uninstall a program. But when I use an external USB docking station to look at the contents of a SSD or HARD disk, the first time that the drive is mounted Windows automatically installs a driver for the reader. Where are the device drivers listed? There be a master list of installed device drivers. And are device drivers is read from the drive, Windows include a bucket of typical device drivers, or Windows will quickly find them via the Internet?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  All installed device drivers are stored in the system32/drivers folder and here are the generic driver. Windows Installer drivers automatically when you connect a new device, some devices require that you install drivers manually. In these cases, the manufacturer of the device contains a disk of software and instructions on installing the driver before plugging. You can also visit the link for more information below:

  Hello

  I think that if the drive works in the 1800-100, it should also work in the 1800-700. There are only a few different specifications, which has no effect on this.

• My DVDRW DRIVE will not write to disk

  My DVD - RW drive will not write to disk, it is only recognized on my computer as a DVD ROM and CD - ROM only. I looked in Device Manager and there is no question mark by it and he says it's working properly, I had it works normally about 2 weeks ago, can you help me? L.M.Baggley

  If it worked about two weeks ago, you could try a restore point to return the parameters of your system they had previously, by using the system restore. It is in the startmenu, all programs, system, SYSTEM RESTORE tools. Choose a point of older and not the most recent. Alternatively, right - click the icon for your drive and make sure that the recording tab is there, and that registration is enabled on the computer. You will also find it better if you record at a slower speed and not the faster if you want to avoid reading errors. "THE BEST THING TO DO IN THIS WORLD IS A WRONG ANSWER! "I"DON'T"WINDOWS...". »

• D drive list almost complete, but after a Trojan horse, I can't access

  I had a Trojan horse? Used the recovery disk, but nearly full showing D drive and I can not access data on this subject. Cleaning disc has 0 bytes. Files / photos shows empty. How to recover my D drive or D drive data or clean the files it contains? I can't drive D. help, please.

  This is / was your system recovery disk!  You shouldn't put anything here and just left alone.  Now the problem is a bit more complicated because we don't want to do damage for retrieving information stored there.  You must contact the technical assistance of the manufacturer of the computer service and know how to undo what you did on the recovery Partition.  We know nothing about them were leaving recovery or processes as they vary from a constructor (and have been created by the manufacturer and not Microsoft) and we don't have access to this information.  Only they can help you recover recovery information (you probably somehow helping move everything you moved it).

  I'm sorry, we can not be more useful, but because it is the recovery partition, you have to manage with the manufacturer of this problem.

• External DELL GP60N USB DVDRW drive will not play DVD

  Hello

  I have a new Dell Inspiron 3531 with Windows 8.1.  The laptop came with an internal DVD/CD drive, so I bought a Dell GP60N external USB DVD - RW Drive.

  When I put a DVD in the drive that the laptop recognizes it is there, but will not play regardless of how I set the automatic run settings.

  I also searched drivers see if mine was outdated, but not found to contribute to the situation.

  Any help from the community will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Heath

  Default Windows can not decode DVD video, so you will need some reading software...

  Usually, when you buy a DVD player/burner, you get with it, WinDVD or PowerDVD software for video playback and some other software if the device may also burn discs... UNLESS the material was an OEM version, which normally does not come in a box like the commercial version, then you normally get nothing...

  So for now the easiest thing is to connect the drive to the laptop and then insert a DVD into the drive. Go to the Explorer, and then right-click the DVD by selecting drive open. You should now see two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. This indicates that Windows sees DVD disc material correctly and that he also sees the files in the DVD itself... Nothing wrong up to now...

  Now, go into the VIDEO_TS directory where you should see a bunch of files, a bunch of. BUP. IFO and. VOB files. The. VOB files contain the video code CSS while the. IFO files contain orders for DVD to play appropriate video channel (flow). Normally, the. IFO and. VOB files will have an affair with some reading software and double click on the VIDEO_TS. VOB file will launch the player. If the player is associated. Can manage files IFO CSS encoded DVD, playback will begin and you will hear the sound and see some video... If you have a drive associated with these types of files, usually autoplay will kick and the reading starts automatically on insertion of the DVD in your drive... But if you double-click and there is no software associated with this file extension, so there is no software associated with these files and you can't watch your DVD...

  But as mentioned, Windows does not capable by default DVD playback software, so you will need to install a DVD playback software... One solution is to contact the company (Dell?) who provided the external DVD player and ask them why you do not have the comercial DVD reading and DVD software of engraving that you expected would come with your hardware, they can predict it you if she should have come in your package, or they will tell you where you can download it from...

  If they won't help or they say it was hardware OEM and that it did not come with software, then consider using VLC to play your videos, as the software is free open source of quality. This page explains how to use VLC to play DVDs in Windows 8... You can also use ImgBurn for burning CDs and DVDs (not blindly just click on the buttons of large download on this web site because they are advertisements for * you need not, simply the page to the section of news where you have a download link)...

• Computer sees DVDRW plug-and - play, but said the driver could not be loaded. Won't see external DVD - RW external USB.

  I have a computer with XP on it and want to upgrade to Win 7 pro (I have the original disc), but the computer does not accept any DVDRW I put in and my DVD/CD requires a DVDRW DRIVE until I install Win 7.  Any ideas? I need to do this because all my other computers have been upgraded to win 10 and I HATE it.  I've seen an improvement when I added the memory of the computer.  Win 10 must be memory intensive.

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

• VM wants to drive consolidation, but no snapshots are listed in the Snapshot Manager

  After a replication failed with VEEAM, I get this on one of my virtual machines:

  "Configuration problems.

  without having any snapshots indicate Manager snapshots.

  The name of the drive listed under 'change settings' does, that the disk is a snapshot, however.

  How to solve this problem properly?

  Best regards, Lars.

  The two option should work fine even when the virtual machine is running. According to the snapshot sizes, deleting it may take a while so please be patient.

  PS: A thought if the Basic virtual disk is thin and put into operation, make sure that you have enough of free disk space on the data store before starting the deletion/consolidation!

• Can I install a DVD - RW on my Satellite Pro A10 drive?

  I want to upgrade the drive of DVD ROM/CD-RW (SD-R2412) on my Satellite Pro A10 on a DVD - RW drive, so I can burn DVDs. I bought a Toshiba (TS-L632) DVDRW drive, because it's exactly the same size and shape, such as the existing DVD ROM drive, the same voltage (5v) and the same connector.

  However, after installation and setting on the laptop, it is not recognized as being installed that is to say, there is no sign of it at all on the computer. Is it because the laptop is completely unable to support a DVD - RW disc, or have I bought an incompatible device? If so, is there a compatible DVDRW drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Fred.

  PS the exact model of the Satellite Pro is PSA15E - 0115Q - EN
