Portege R700 - slow DVD burning

all of a sudden for some reason any CD/DVD burn on my new Portege R700 has almost ground to stop. It worked fine initially, but now won't have high peaks of 1 MB/sec... it is a REAL pain...

The problem occurs with both the DVD player built-in and a USB connected drive that has worked well for years, so there must be a problem with o/s or H/S any. am about to update the BIOS but with no real hope

I did some research on Google and things seem to point to the IDE controller issues. I took some advice and remove / reinstall the controller, but to no avail...

someone else has the same problem - or, more importantly, a solution please?

in some desparation

Tim

Hello

not easy to say why it is burning so slow. have you tried burning with other discs and programs?

  • Portege R700 - external DVD Player compatibility

    I have a problem with a Samsung external super-multi drive 2 year with my new Portege R700-1F3, which does not come with a DVD player. The USB powered Samsung dvd player works fine with all other computers that I have access to:
    * MacBook with OS X 10.5
    * Samsung NP - X 360 laptop computer with Windows XP 32-bit
    * Dell Inspiron Zino HD computer desktop with Windows 7 64 bit

    The symptoms are:
    * When the dvd player is plugged in Portege, the green light on the dvd player goes on and out.
    * This happens in the BIOS, and once that Windows 7 32-bit support.
    * In Control Panel Windows 7 devices & printers, the DVD alternately appear & disappear constantly.
    * When it appears, it shows up as "USB storage device" with a yellow! warning icon.

    I tried all 3 USB ports. The power cable is plugged Portege. I tried the turn of the digital signature when starting upwards. The external dvd came free with my old laptop from Samsung and is the model AA-ES0N09B.

    Any suggestion that this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    Hi Lola,.

    Have you tried other USB devices on your Portege R700 if they work properly?

    If peripheral USB do some problems I would try to remove the USB ports from the Device Manager (right click > uninstall) and restart your computer. After that, the USB ports will be recognized again and you are able to use them.

    If it doesn t help I would try a driver update from the official website of Toshiba chipset. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/

    It is verrrrrry slow. more than an hour.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - slow DVD burning speed

    Hi all

    I have a very annoying problem with my optical drive - he writes only CD at 6-8 x and DVD x 2! Nothing more! I have read several forums and it seems I'm not the only one with this problem. Only, it seems that there is no solution for this problem so far. The DVD multi drive is a Matsu * a 841 s UJ and its producer very has no support for this article at all. There is a firmware update available somewhere, I could find, but it only works for Vaio OEM.

    Again, I am only interested to release my drive from his normal abilities and not to unlock any area code or other kind. I just want to work to performance, I bought it, that's all.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks to you all.

    Hi Cosmin

    You have this problem since the first day? Have you tried using different blank discs? Burning program you use? If you use for example 16 x max CD speed options are listed in the burning application?

  • Slow DVD burning on Tecra A9

    I found that when burning DVDs my burner works about 1 X I have checked this on the web and found other forums, which suggests to make sure I'm set to DMA if available on the transfer mode.

    I have it on the "primary IDE channel" on device 0 transfer mode is set to DMA if available, but below in the "current transfer mode" box it says PIO mode.

    on device 1 the transfer mode is set to DMA if available, but the transfer current says modeit is not available.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Have you tried deleting the IDE channels from Device Manager?
    Try this. Remove it, and then restart the laptop again!

    A friend of mine had a similar problem and the switching mode of the relocation back into DMA Device Manager.

  • Portege R700-1E8: DVD player will not eject tray

    Hello
    My DVD does not open the tray.
    When I hit eject I hear any attempt to open and after a few seconds the lights go on but the drawer does not open.

    Is there a solution for this. I unplugged my PC and I tried ejecting with power on my PC and it works well, able to open and close the knob. I know that it is software related, but I don't know how to fix it.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you, Iris

    Hello

    > Is there a solution for this.

    There should be a small, very small hole near the eject button.
    You can open the drawer manually insert a thin object such as staple or paper clip into this hole.
    The tray should eject and you should be able to insert a disc

    PS: In my opinion his software problem is NOT from the plateau ODD is not controlled by a software

  • Portege A100 - problems recognizing a new DVD burner

    Hello

    I'm looking to replace the Panasonic/Matsu * player UJDA750 combo with a LiteOn SOSW - 852S DVD burner. The LiteOn is CSEL and is not recognized by the Portege A100. I tried to change the master/slave/CSEL and Inverse CSEL using E2MS_WIN_SOSW - 852 S .exe (in an Acer Travelmate 220, which sees all configurations), but the Portege A100 still does not recognize LiteOn.

    I ran IDEDIAG using a WinME boot CD and the Matsu * a Combo drive in Portege reports as secondary master. So, I tried flashing the drive LiteOn (using the Acer Travelmate platform) with MTKFlash version 183 c using the a command? "mtkflash 3 w/b PRS9.bin" (using the original firmware of saved), '3' to change the drive to the secondary master. I came across problems here - the flash appears to hang. The drive is always ok, however. I flashed it back to the original ok CSEL using E2MS program in Acer.

    I have not tried bridging the pins 45 to 47 on the LiteOn - I thought maybe it was a last resort.
    -Can help you with the correct configuration for a CD/DVD drive in the Portege A100? There are a bunch of different ones - primary, secondary, tertiary, Quarternary master/slave and CSEL and Inverse CSEL. Portege A100 'sees' the Matsu * a CDROM model CR-176_B of Acer.

    Or - can you recommend me a DVD burner for this laptop?

    Hello

    The evolution of the master/slave/c-salt settings is not recommended and tell the truth I put t know if its possible. I presume that it of not possible to Flash these settings on medium power.
    In my opinion it doesn't make any sense to do.
    This procedure may damage the drive. Maybe you will not be able to use this drive more and more you will void the warranty!

    I think it s better to buy a compatible device and supported as trying to drive not compatible flash.

    Did you check your user manual? Usually the user manual should provide information on compatible CD/DVD players and supported.

    Good bye

  • Portege R700 - no autorun for CD/DVD and USB keys

    In my Portege R700 there is no way to make autorun works (for key USB and CD/DVD as well). CD/DVD and USB keys work perfectely, but not the autorun.

    I tried to use both the automatic repair of Microsoft and PowerToys, but the problem that it is still there. I also tried to change the registry, but it seems that the changes are not retained. I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.
    Gerlando

    Hey,.

    > I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
    What utilities you have installed? Theoretically, they could block the autorun

    Normally if autorun doesn t work on XP, you can enable it in the Windows registry:
    Start > run > regedit

    The registry editor will open and go to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies / Explorer
    Double-click the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and set the value of 91.

    Now he must navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / Cdrom

    Double-click the AutoRun value and set the value to 1.

    Now restart your computer and try it again, usually autorun should work again.
    Additionally, make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed for XP (SP3).

  • Portege R700 - original recovery image re-failed installation

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Portege R700 for years.
    As I have already some difficulties, I did a reinstall it a few years since the recovery partition. Directly.

    But, a few days ago, I had some problems with my portege.
    HARD drive seems to be broken because it making the noise and was really, really, really,..., very slow.
    Yes, after you perform a backup of the data for hours and hours (remember, it was really, really slow), I run a complete reinstallation of "recovery partition". It seems to be good, but... never finished the process, with the same noise from HDD and slower HARD drive IO.

    OK, my own diadnostic: change the HARD drive.
    This done, and by using the recovery DVD Toshiba just bought (Yes cannot find the DVD of burn of factors), I have the same question.... The recovery process does not end even if im waiting for days...
    And I have the same HARD drive noise. With the new!

    In order to have an MSDN license, I installed a Win7 Pro 32 bit, but not the Toshiba one.

    And he is running for days without any problem!

    But I have to reinstall all the drivers and software supplied by Toshiba.

    Obviouly I prefer to find what exactly is the problem with this Portege and reinstall the version of Toshiba Windows 7 Pro.

    So, if someonre read the story until the question is: NO IDEA?
    How to do a HW diagnosed? How to identify the exact problem?

    Thanks for your help.

    Joel

    It is really strange. You bought brand new HARD drive or you use a old and used as a replacement?
    Have you used recovery disks in the past with success? I mean maybe it's the recovery disc a troublemaker.

  • Portege R700 - 19 - l - how to create a backup?

    Hello
    I just got my R700.
    According to the product description / data sheet Nero essential Backup comes for her and she was preinstalled.
    (see http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Portege-R700-19L/1093229/toshibaShop/false/)

    Since there is no DVD backup provided with the laptop, I tried to give him mine.
    But when I opened Nero BackIt and try to make an image of the HD, I get a popup telling me I have to * buy * first nero.

    I looked on the nero homepage: he states that nero essential should be able to perform backups of hard drives.
    (see http://www.nero.com/deu/backitup-and-burn-version-comparison.html).

    How can I create a backup? And how do I get NERO working properly?

    BR Wolfgang K.

    Hello

    To create a recovery disk, you use the preinstalled Toshiba tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator!
    This tool allows you to create a recovery disc!

    Concerning Nero:
    The preinstalled version of Nero is an indispensable suite which means that it s not complete of the product.
    Supports most Nero Multimedia suite: Nero BackUpIt 1) * backup * and 2 Auto) * synchronization *.

    The backup of files, Drive backup and image tool disk creator belongs is no not part of the essential suite nero, but it s product Nero Full.

    But since I installed them, the machine does not start in an operating system more.
    The installed Windows 7 64 bit goes to a black screen before the windows at Startup logo (even in safe mode). And after a few seconds, the fans will quickly but nothing seems to happen.

    The next thing I tried was a (12.04) ubuntu live dvd. But it does not either. No error message or anything, just an automatic restart after a few seconds of black screen.

    The next thing was memtest86 + v4.20:
    It crashes immediately sometimes a black screen and sometimes at this http://i.imgur.com/eJqIyDp.jpg .
    I tested my new two sticks together and alone, still the same problem. The old ones that work perfectly and not crash of memtest.

    For me, the question is clear enough; the laptop does not start because of new RAM modules.

    The new RAM modules are not totally compatible, or the RAM modules are defective.

    I recommend you test an other modules; for example modules manufactured by Kingston.
