Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

Hi guys,.

I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

"D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

Thanks for listening...

For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

  • I have to restart Qosmio F30-127 in order to recognize the inserted disks

    I have the Qosmio F30 127, which has the CARPET * A DVD RW. Very often, however, it does not recognize the fact that there is a disc in the drive. I have to restart for the DVD to recognize the inserted disc.

    If a disc is placed in the slot, shortly after starting it is correct until an attempt to use a different disk.
    This is a common problem or any other agency knows this and if so what is the fix?

    I put t think that it s a common problem.
    Always it is that readers do not each CD/DVD support and sometimes such disorders.
    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop. After the reboot, the drive should be recognized again. Check if there is no change.
    Check that you have installed the firmware. Maybe a new available on the Toshiba page.

  • Qosmio G30-201 is unable to read the hd discs

    I cleaned the lens of the hd player and the discs are all clean and withought scratches. The reader will read audio CDs and regular CDs, he also wrote for the dvd and cd discs.

    When I insert a HD disc in the drive it just continues to produce a whiring sound strang and will not play.

    I played the hd movies on the laptop when I got it first, but he is unable to read it now.
    Help, please.

    Steve

    Hello

    so, if the player has played before that should always work, or? :)
    Installed a few programs that could possibly affect the playback of HD discs? It might be a good idea to recover your system, perhaps to issue it s just a software.
    Otherwise, if I were you, I´ll sent my machine to a service partner chartered for a material balance of health. (You still warranty?)

  • Unable to read the security descriptors data stream

    Whenever I start my computer runs CHKDSK - it says checking file system on E: and then he said that it should be checked for consistency. It works until stage 3 when he says 'impossible to read the security descriptors data stream' how to fix this?

    I tried chkdsk e:/r and it runs before step 3 when I get the "unable to read the security descriptors data stream" and it goes no further.

    I also tried fsutil dirty query e:- but it says something about a parameter incorrect and not if the volume is dirty or clean.

    Then I tried chkdsk e:/f/x - that always gives me the same mistake about it being an incorrect setting.

    As far as I know there is absolutely nothing on E:, I didn't even know that there was an additional drive. Right now I have it turned off so that I can use my computer. It seems to work fine without it. I read an article that said that if I can't fix e: with chkdsk which I have to do a low-level format of the reader? What's my next step? And I can do without the XP disc?

    The syntax

    fsutil dirty query e:

    is correct (except, of course, you try to use from the Recovery Console, where the fsutil command is not available).  Are you logged on as a user with administrative rights when you use fsutil?

    Similarly, the switches /f and/x are not available for chkdsk in the Recovery Console.

    See Recovery Console controls.

    Click on desktop then right-click on E: drive icon and select Properties.  What is indicated for:

    • File system
    • Space used
    • Free space
    • Capacity

    Now double click the icon for E: are shown files?  If not, click Tools > Folder Options > view and select the radio button "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system.  Now that you see all the files?

    Everything you read 'low level of shaped' is nonsense.  Any modern PC drive cannot be low level formatted by end users.  You can read this, but there is really no necessary even to "zero fill" your drive E: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=203931 (I have not checked to see if the WD tools rescuer has similar characteristics to SeaTools for DOS).

    If you are convinced that there is nothing of value on E (for example, installation of backup or restore), you can either format by right-clicking on the drive icon in my computer and selecting "format" or you can start disk management as described previously and use either in electronic format or delete the partition completely.  If you delete the partition, space becomes "unallocated".

    Because I guess C is your system drive (where Windows is), you may be able to use the diskpart tool to extend the partition F to use the unallocated space left if you decide to remove E well it's much easier (and safer) to do with disk management third-party tools such as Easeus Partition Manager free : http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
