• Satellite P10: The drive will not burn DVD

  Hope someone can help me,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P10 and have just received some photos software, burning
  But my drive will not burn DVD, I try with discs DVD - RW which must work my laptop.
  What is happening is when it comes of the burn on the part of the disk of the process he starts, but it fails.

  I tried to burn it with Nero, but even if I burn OK on any CD discs with this software it will not work on DVD discs. It's really annoying because when the burning process it fails so that it makes the DVD - RW disc seem curupt and then my drive has problems mounting the disc to try a deletion once more.

  I have the Nero log file failed
  Done if it's any help to anyone.

  A big thank you Michael.

  Hello

  What about different DVD media? Have you tested the media DVD-R or DVD + R common?
  Have you tried different brands of DVD?
  I can't give you a properly answer why the drive can't burn your DVD - RW, but to my knowledge not every media is supported by the player.
  So I think you should check different DVDs.

  Hello

  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.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

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

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives

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

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  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

• Optical drive will not read anything else professional films

  So, I am owner of a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 ". The computer comes with Intel Core i7 processor and has the maximum of 8 GB of Ram. The problem is that the optical drive that is built into the computer will read nothing else done professionally movies. It can read disks of movies like the Lord of the rings and Wargames, to name a few, I tested, but it will not read any DVD-R disc or to a CD. I tried the CDs as Metallica music... And Justice for all after try in another computer and a radio and get good results when it just won't play on my Mac.

  I have had this problem in the past , but at the time the optical drive not read anything at all. This occurred in early December and I fixed it on 20 December. To solve the problem, I went to the Apple Store and they can Reset the P - RAM. The Apple guy he told me to make sure to disable every night. I did this because it's what I did in the past. After that, I was able to play any CD or DVD and burn them. I also tested it every two weeks by playing a DVD in there to check that it still works. But I discovered that it was broken again when tried to insert a DVD-R to burn things on it and the computer only it spun and then ejected it. I've known this current problem since around mid-April.

  I did some research on it and what I have read I believe that I must buy a cleaning disc and run it in my optical drive to clean the lens of the eye out, but I don't understand how I am able to read some disks and not others if that is the problem.

  Can I take it again in the Apple Store and get it looked like or should I buy a cleaning disc and run it through my optical drive, and then decide what to do next? I'm in no hurry to get this problem fixed because my guarantee does not expire until the end of July this year.

  I don't know why you want to put some words in BOLD and a few words in normal font. Frankly I find it a bit annoying when someone does something like that, but oh well... what you could do is to try a cleaning disc (the one with little brushes this topic) or a good breath of air compressed. In addition, some brands of DVD - R Virgin do not work as well as others. I found verbatim to be good, maybe maxell or Taiyo Yuden. Your mileage may vary...

  If this still does not work, feel free to zap the pram x 2-3) and do an smc reset. Shut down the computer, plug power adapter, hold down the left shift, control, option, and button works / stop for about 45 seconds, let go of all of them, then press the power button to restart. If none of this works, then by all means to make a genius bar appointment and bring it in to your local Apple store. Hey, if you have an extended warranty, might as well use it, right?

  Good luck

• Satellite A660 - 11 M optical drive will not write to CD or DVD

  I got my A660 for about 9 months and it was burning without any problem but about a month ago, I tried to burn a DVD and the operation failed.

  Since then, I have tried a number of different CD & single layer / double layer DVD which all failed.

  I also ran the factory reset to recreate the image on the laptop, but the same problem persists.

  The drive seems to be written the drive normally until the end when it fails, then there is no visible trace on the disc and the machine will always be recognizes it as empty.

  There seems to be no problem in playing discs, just write down them.

  Does anyone know if there is an update of the firmware available for the reader?

  Which app to use for writing to the disc?

  To be honest I have think don firmware t update will change anything. I assume that there must be a problem with the calibration of the lens.

• 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.

• DVD drive is not burning DVDs

  Help, please!

  I bought a writer of CD/DVD Toshiba SD-R5372 a couple of months. I had it installed by a pc repair shop. When I gathered my computer that they don't give me not all discs pilot etc... for the product. They say now that they do not have the disks.
  My problem is that I recently had to reformat my hard drive due to problems with viruses etc... Although windows argues that it recognizes my DVD burner and it plays DVDs fine, but it will not burn them. They tell me that it could be a driver problem and searched the site of Toshiba, in circles, but can't seem to find the drivers for my product.
  Can someone please help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know that it is not necessary to install a driver. The device should be recognized by the operating system. If there is a burning problem, I really put t think that this may be caused by wrong driver.
  I put t know what media you can use with this camera, but please be careful about this. If you want to try to use Nero software of engraving. It is very easy to use and there is also a small tool called Nero info tool. You can use it to pick up all the info on your drive.

  If Dell diagnostics failed, then you need to replace the DVD drive. They are fairly easy to find for your model laptop and pretty inexpensive ($25-40).
