Optical Drive turns W530 offshore running Windows 8

With Win8 on W530, the optical drive turns off shortly after start. Failed device management after that. Accessory optical drive and a UJ-260 do the same thing.

BIOS 2.52 and 2.53: same problem. Main card has Intel RAID option ROM.

Running Windows 7, the optical drive stays on without any problem.

I would like to hear if there is a difficulty before you restore Windows 8. Win7 good for now.

    Notes:

    The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

    The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

    There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

    The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

    The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.

  • Satellite A660 - optical driver turns off when burning DVD

    I have a problem with the optical drive of energy saving options that disables the drive while burning.

    I tried all the suggestions mentioned here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Satellite-Laptops-A-Series/Optical-drive-automatically-turns-off-due-to-power-saver/td-p/223654], but it does not help.

    I start at the burn in Ashampoo Burning Studio free, and he seems to be good until the end. When it starts the process of lead-out the popup of the optical signals Drive Power drive is turned off. It's funny because it is still running at the speed of combustion and it will not stop. The reader becomes unresponsive, even I can't the DVD out. Even, that it disappears from the list of devices.

    The only way I thought so far to stop the car and release the DVD is in the shutdown/Hibernate the computer.

    Once the dive starts working again the STRANGE Fn-tab functionality started working and I can turn it on/Off/ejection at will.

    All the burned DVD - s are not valid, and so far I have not managed to burn a single functional DVD.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - PSAW3E with Win7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    Is there a way to fix this? Remove the optical drive power management?

    Hello

    To be honest I have never heard of this issue, but it appears that the optical drive power management is part of the power of Toshiba configuration utility.
    Part of the Toshiba value added package configuration done Toshiba power utility.

    What you can try, for testing purposes, to remove the Toshiba added value of the system package, restart your computer and try to burn DVDs again to see if the same problem will occur again.

    Toshiba value added package contains several tools such as utility cards flash FN so after his withdrawal, you will not be able to use the FN keys. In any case, after that trial, you can download and install Toshiba value added package again.

    I mean, I know what kind of conflict is there, but maybe you should consider it.

  • How can I update the driver for the webcam running Windows 98 > vista windows?

    Hello

    How could I go to get a driver who runs a
    Home QuickCam vs Webcam on my Windows Vista computer? I found the webcam in an old car for scrap, but the software is not compatible with my Vista. Pleassssse! help > I been up all night looking for the web and gettn dressing!  Thank you, Faye

    Get the manufacturer, the brand and model of the Webcam and go to the manufacturer's technical support group and see if they have Vista drivers available for download.  If they do not exist, I'm afraid you're out of luck. If available, download and install and you should be running.  But you should contact the manufacturer.  Given the age, it is very likely that there's no Vista drivers for this device.  There is no realistic way to do your own drivers, unless you are a developer of professional pilot (and even then, it would be not possible).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows 7 sees not SATA optical drives

    My engraver of CD/DVD Lite-On (model No.: iHAS324-98Y) managed to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my new custom PC.  A few days later, I installed ASUS BR - ROM (model No.: BC-08B81ST) and the two discs have been palying OK.  A week later, I installed recorders Blu - Ray LG (model No.: WH10LS30) without a hitch.

    A few days after that, as soon as I opened up Explorer to move the internal HHD to an external HARD drive files, I couldn't see any which icon for optical drives.  I thought I had the virus but utilities Norton scanned no virus trouble.  Then, I searched the internet for a solution but nothing help. If I delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM readers reg Key {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} optical drive icons came back, but Windows 7 does not start (or crashes) after that unless the previous setting is restored.

    After a few hours cause analysis I went through the root, I think that the update of Windows 7 has contributed to this problem because I remember once again the PC installed upgrading during the power down, optical drive icons in the Panel of the computer is gone.  Has no known members the same problem?  Any Member draws the same conclusion?

    Note: I have to contact the manufacturer of Lite-On and they told me the drive isn't compatible Windows 7, but a guard thing listen why it worked in the first place because I used it to install Windows 7 on my PC.  My ASUS models and LG was working after I installed them even if they do not have the Windows 7 compatibility logo.

    What I did:

    (1) Re0installed Windows 7 Ultimate.

    (2) re-installed all the software application.

    (3) I have not installed any Windows updates.

    Since then, al of my optical drives are working properly.
