    Hi Khalifa,

    Until you can play a DVD - RW on your M30 the DVD must be finalized. In order to record on a blank DVD - RW the drive must be formatted first (using something like Nero INCD). If all goes well, then you should be capable of both wathch and burn DVD - RW discs. :-)

  • Combo CDR/DVD SDR2102 drive will not read CDs or DVDs

    Hello

    I have a mobile Ergo Elite 4.
    The hard drive crashed and I bought a new one.
    I have loaded windows XP by using a boot disk but cannot get the Toshiba SDR2102 CDR/DVD combo drive to work. I had to load windows on via USB
    using a USB port.

    I can see the drive in windows Explorer, but it will not read the CD or DVD.
    I looked in the Device Manager, and it came with no warning mark.
    I tried deleteting, re-startup and he's back in the Device Manager.

    I'm trying to find a better driver, but it says that I use the best driver.
    I tried various Web sites using sand everywhere tells me that I do not need a driver for this drive.
    What I do, it seems as if the Combo driver is recognized but it will not be read whatever it is inserted, he said only: insert the disc.

    Does anyone know what I can try? or know where I can get drivers for it or software to test the drive?

    any help would be appreciated. :-(
    Some.

    Hello

    You n t need a special driver for the CD/DVD drive.
    CD/DVD players use the current Microsoft drivers already contained in the Windows operating system.

    In my opinion, you should first test different types of media. Please note that not all CD or DVD s are compatible. Distribute readers can't handle bad quality mediums.

    But we shouldn't t rule out a risk of hardware malfunction.
    Disk failure and you may wish to contact your dealer for a replacement.

    Hello

    It seems its time for a new CD/DVD drive :(
    To me it seems that the laser of the ODD lens does not work as it should eventually it s affected and cannot calibrate because of the stress of the material
    Therefore, in my opinion you a replacement drive are necessary.

    Notes; You may not use any CD/DVD drive. You need a compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    In your case, I would like to get in touch with a local ASP and I ask for a compatible player.

  • Satellite L30: reader will not read CDs or DVDs

    In the evening, I was recently testing on various operating systems on my laptop and eventually decided to return to Windows Pro.
    It was working fine until a couple of days, but then the hard drive started making a rattling noise, like R/RW head stuck.

    Now it will not read CDs or DVDs, can someone please help and tell me if it's a failure of the software or hardware, and the best way to fix it?

    Hello

    The drive problems are not uncommon and may still occur.
    For the most part the purpose of calibration training does not work correctly.
    The objective must be calibrated in the correct position until the player will read or write to the media.
    This fault is not reperable and especially the drive needs to be replaced!

  • Re: Satellite A210-12U: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8505 will not read discs - error Code 39

    Hello.

    I've had my A210-12U for about five months now, and recently for the past few months I had some problems with the dvd player.

    The thing is that the player will not play all discs, the drive will detect that a disc has been inserted, but it will not read. It happened for about a month but its only recently I really know whats been wrong with it.

    The drive I currently use is a CARPET * A DVD - RAM UJ-8505 ATA

    I scanned the disk for problems with the support toshiba but utility that came with something so I decided to check the drivers.

    Windows Vista gave this Message: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    I uninstalled the drivers and drivers on there and installed new ones that I downloaded here on the toshiba site.

    What I really want to know is: is this a problem with the drivers? is it a case that the operating system does not detect the hardware? or is this a situation where I should have the disk fixed on its guarantee?

  • Tecra M1 will not read any type of SD card

    Help!
    According to the title, my M1 will not read any type of SD card. I'm running the SP2 of XP reloaded from original floppies, and it is fully up-to-date with Windows Update.
    The little green light adjacent to the slot flashes briefly on the insertion of a card, but nothing happening for example no open option window and nothing visible in my computer.

    I downloaded the latest drivers and installed according to the directives of the readme.txt file and even thought to copy the SDDEVMGR.dll in the System32 folder.
    I obviously lack something, so any help or pointers are welcome.

    Thank you very much. Craig

    Hello

    Usually, books are not all sizes of SD card and so you should be sure that the used SD card is supported and compatible with the Tecra M1 card reader.

    But if you are using a compatible SD card the laptop should be able to read/write on the SD card.
    I try to remove the SD card in the Device Manager controller and remove the driver software malfunction. Restart the computer and install the latest drivers again.

    PS: A registry cleaning would be desirable. CCleaner is a great registry cleaning applications

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s will not read the cd rom cd-rom dvd

    OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
    This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
    Can anyone help?
    Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
    Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

    Hi Robert,.

    Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

    I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

    Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.

    Kind regards

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

    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

    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 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.
