• Satellite 1900 (PS192E) - does not recognize the CD/DVD

  Hey all,.

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite 1900 (PS192E) and place an old 20 GB HDD from an old laptop.

  When I boot, the screen is in VGA 16 color mode, it recognizes the DVD player, but does not recognize the CD/DVD when inserted. I tried to install and run the utility "driver robot" Toshibas, but the display is such that I see all of the screen to start the search.

  If there is someone out there who could give me some advice, I would be extremely grateful.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  OK, you have installed the disk HARD of another laptop but too format the HARD drive? I mean if the HARD drive performed from another laptop, you need to reinstall Windows because now you have other hardware installed.
  What version of Windows is it?

  If you want to install a driver for the graphics card go into Device Manager and select Update driver.

  Hello

  The first thing that I would recommend before you do the radical and re install Windows or upgrade to Windows 7, is to make sure that you have backed up your files. Make sure that you have a separate player and follow the steps described in this article.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-your-files
  To be honest, it sounds like the drive has gone wrong at this stage. Normally, this sounds like it would be a driver problem, but if you have uninstalled them and are 100% sure that you have installed the good and still no joy, so I think we can exclude.
  Have you tried several discs in the drive, correct? It is not just a problem with the special CD that you use right?
  I would say your best bet is at this time to try another drive on the machine, especially if you do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling Windows. You may be surprised how well they come these days. The last of them, that I bought on Amazon (I think) was a little more than $25 in the United States.

• My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

  When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

  A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.

• Computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  For these last days, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive.  I have tried everything - publishers of registry, check the physical connections inside the computer, the system restore and install Fix - It programs.  However, the computer does not recognize this drive.  I also wonder if it is a hardware problem.  The light on the drive is a constant in green, and does not have the Open button.  And when I use the bent-paper-clip-in-the-little-hole and can open the drive, it will not read the disc.  Please advise...

• Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

  Laptop is only a few months old.
  Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
  Tried Windows Update - does not help.
  Tried registry fix - does not help.

  Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
  The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

  Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Very strange what s
  Try this:

  Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
  If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

  You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

  Good luck my friend

  (1) don't you make changes to the Windows Media Player settings prior to this problem?
  2) are able to burn CD/DVD with your CD/DVD-ROM?

  Hello mike salinas.

  1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

  2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

  I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

  Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

  You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

  Thank you

• Laptop does not recognize blank CD/DVDs

  Hello

  I just bought a Dell Precision M2800 (early 2014).

  I can read DVDs and CDs normally but I when I put a CD or blank DVD to burn it, it does not recognize it and says 'Please insert a disc into the DVD drive. I tried many solutions of this forum, but none of them worked for me. I tried burning CDs and DVDs even in other laptops and they have worked perfectly.

  Please tell me what I can do.

  As you have already understood, you have a CD-ROM drive (read-only) and is unable to burn discs. You do not have the option to replace this drive with a DVD - RW drive that will burn the discs.
