• Equium A100: Disc D is not accessible - i/o device error

  I recently bought a box of 50 masterpieces of Mozart CD. I want them on my drive hard, but every so often, I hear the whirring autour CD in drive D: but it then stops and no further action takes place. Equium A100 does not recognize the disc: no disc in drive D:! If I go to my computer and click on D:, I get a warning "D:\ is not available..." I/o device error."

  This only happens with certain CD; others are fine. Could I do something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  > This happens only with CDs; others are fine. Could I do something wrong?

  Hmm in my knowledge, not all CD and DVD are compatible and taken in charge and sometimes could happen that the drive can not read some CD.
  It is not impossible

  Maybe the firmware of the installed disk does contain all the details of manufacturing of CDs and properties and, therefore, the lens of the drive can not calibrate and manage the inserted CD.

  I found in my manual to the user a list of CD and DVD compatible and supported.
  There you should find the different manufacturers that produce a compatible media.

• My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

  DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

  Hello

  (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

  (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

  You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

  Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

  Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

  Hello

  Please ALL these even if you've done it before as it's often the total process that
  solves the problem. You should also check with the system manufacturer as some readers do not use windows
  by default the drivers and need their own, use the bottom and if no joy check on the site of the manufacturer of the system.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  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 loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• Satellite M40X - DVD drive is not recognized

  I bought a new satellite pro m40x yesterday and today everything worked fine but today the dvd and cd rom is not recognized more. I don't know about cell phones, what can I do? I don't want to return it to Toshiba and wait 4 weeks to get it back.
  My son needs the notebook the week next to the school.

  Hi Christine,

  Please check in the Device Manager to see if there's anything showing against your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM is always displayed, you should be able to run the process of troubleshooting against it to check for possible errors.

  If your CD-ROM is more listed and then launch the 'Scan for hardware changes' option to see if it detects your CD-ROM.

  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

  Hello

  Well you have studied the issues pretty well. Could be material.

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and your must read on the edge outside these tolerances of discs.
  They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

• Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
  The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

  This means that the CD device is dead?

  Hey Micky,

  Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

  Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  Hello

  I'm not an expert so take what I say with a large pinch of salt and check again! I have a similar problem with my A100 except the works of CD tray very well but the machine will not play some DVD and won't play any CD several people have suggested that download ITunes affects your registry files and shortly after that the machine does not recognize the CD/DVD driver.

  The error message that said something like: "i/o device error".

  Have you tried to download a new driver? I have that have not yet done and came here to seek to verify this info myself.

  Anyone else heard about Itunes affecting your laptop in anyway?

• Satellite 2430: CD/DVD drive does not work - i/o error

  F:\ is not accessible.

  I talked to my local computer Wizz and does everything that he suggested to the letter and still the same problem. He suggested updating the bios drivers and the only way to do that is on a disk drive that she cannot take the an or a CD or dvd drive is not working. Can you please help me!

  Begging you a lot
  Michael Borger

  In my view BIOS update will not change.
  I assume that the reader has worked in the past with the same BIOS version
  It is a drive hardware problem or some registry keys are corrupt.

  I think that it s a hardware malfunction may be a matter of lenses.
  But try this;
  Remove the drive from Device Manager and shut the laptop computer. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Then you can check the functionality.

  Otherwise, you can remove the disk from the laptop, and then start the laptop without the drive. Then stop the laptop, put the drive in the notebook and start over.
  The firmware should again loads.

  But if these procedures help t, I don t see it differently as for replace the drive

• Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

  Hello

  I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
  I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

  Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
  Is this normal?

  Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
  Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
  This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
  Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

  So I guess it's ok.

  any suggestions?

  * Thanks to *.

  Hello

  That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

  In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.
  Check it!
