  According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

  Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

  I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.
  > I can not even restart my operating system discs cannot be read from the BIOS either.
  Restart or reinstall?

• Satellite U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

  My CD/DVD drive does not work.

  It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

  If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

  I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

  Help please.

• Tecra M10 - 11U - DVD + cannot read & disk partitions

  Hi all

  I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
  (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
  (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
  Is it safe to change the E to D drive

  Nirko

  Hello

  1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
  2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

  Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
  * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*

• Cannot read disks 3D on my Qosmio X 770

  Initially, I had no problem with a laptop Qosmio X 770 3D DVD to play.
  For some reason, now, 3D glasses do not work - that is, they are getting started, but they convert the 3D stereoscopic images.

  I got glasses for more than 3 hours of charging, and when it is plugged into the laptop they show a constant amber light, which means that they are fully charged.

  When you unplug them, the light turns off and nothing happens when you focus on the 3d video.
  Nothing happens when leave you them plugged into the laptop via USB no more.

  I thought I would try to watch the DVD without 3D and disabled the 3D option in the 3D Corel player; However the software just tells the viewer/screen is incapable of the 3D view and move to a 3D-capable display.

  Corel player won't play the DVD in 2D. No one else does--not even own Toshiba player - won't play a 3D DVD. When I brought the laptop I was told that on this model only the Corel 3D player would work with videos in 3D.

  I guess that the glasses are deceased, but is it possible that I could watch a DVD as a 2D to 3D?

  Thank you.

  As far as I know (I may be wrong m) you can convert 2D to 3D, but you cannot convert 3D to 2D.

  Regarding the question:
  It of difficult to tell if the problem is related to 3D glasses so it would be interesting to know if another 2nd pair of glasses would work properly.

• Cannot read disk Blu - ray on the media library

  I have Vista premiun with a blu - ray player. I bought a blu - ray drive, media Center accepts but not does nothing. resume & restart "sail" then nothing, Media Center, it is there

  Regarding your request if Windows 7 can support BD read heres an extract "Microsoft doesn't want of reading support Blu - ray natively on Windows 7. It only supports recording on blank Blu - ray disc media.

  "Support Blu - ray (reading) will be sent by the manufacturers of PC or BD player manufacturers. We have new extensibility in media center for those reading of comics to take in charge the built-in reading. We have no support for the BD data disc burning,"said Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president of windows and windows live engineering group at Microsoft, in a statement released by the Windows 7 Center website. »

• HP CDDVDW TS - T633P SCSI CdRom - cannot read SOME DVD

  PC is a Touchsmart 600-1000 t, Windows 7

  DVD Player cannot read some DVD.  Completed all the 8 steps in "Drive cannot read disks (Windows 7)" on the HP site.  A ran HP "Hardware Diagnostic Tools" (linear CD search Test"and it passes on some DVDs and returns"No Media"on the other.)  Very old CD "Office for WIndows 95" and a few new DVDs (HP Officejet 6500 has more) past, but more brand new DVD and DVD written on the same computer is not detected.   Those who lack of DVD also will not autorun on my PC.  These same DVD which failed on my PC is read fine on my old Windows XP laptop.

  Strongly suspect one slightly out of the drive of alignment that must be replaced.  Ideas before ordering a replacement?

  Hello

  Check the automatic run settings in the control panel. Ensure that the measures to be taken when optical media are inserted represent the media format type that you create.  You can check the box at the top to use AutoPlay for all media types, then select the action for the particular media format.  Be sure to save the changes.

  You can also consider using Imgburn to read and write to check some media to see if you actually have some hardware issues. ImgBurn will also appear to what types of media are acceptable for the optical drive.

  It is also possible that the media you use is of a lower quality.  I prefer the Verbatim. It cost more but I've never had a problem with Verbatim.

  If your PC is under warranty then contact HP support. HP support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.

• Satellite M40X-184 road's DVD/CD-RW cannot read CD

  I have a three month old by Satellite M40X-184 with Mat * one UJDA760 DVD/CD-RW drive. These days the optical drive cannot read any kind of CD. But it can read the DVD. Is someone can you please tell me what is wrong with him? Is the drive broken? Need to replace DVD/CD-RW with a new drive? Thank you.

  Hello

  It is possible that your drive is broken.
  These problems usually occur because the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
  Well, your laptop is not very old the guarantee must be valid. In this case, I recommend to ask the service partner to help him. The guarantee must cover all replacements.

  Good bye

• Toshiba Recovery For Vista: 10-FC06-0002 "cannot read from source file or disk" Preinst.8

• Windows cannot read the disk in drive c.

  I recently bought 5 blank DVDs to burn files, but when I put the disk, it showed no AutoPlay, even if I check suggestions asking me every time, but when I double click on the CD player, it says this message, "Windows cannot read the disk in drive c." can someone help me with this problem?

  Not all DVDs are the same, there are many different types and some DVD players may require a particular type

  If the DVD is blank has nothing to read, that it is not formatted/prepared

  With a dvd in the drive, in Solution Explorer, select a file, rt-click and select send to DVD, it works
