  Hello

  There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

  First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
  In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

  Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
  This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused.
  You are not able to boot from THE disks; Windows disk, disk recovery, disk Linux?

  If it of the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is faulty.
  Why? Because the CD/DVD drive is recognized and controlled by the BIOS when booting from CD or DVD.

  When the Windows operating system has started, the CD/DVD drive must use the Microsoft common driver which is part of the Windows operating system.
  This means that you n t need to install ALL the drivers in order to get the job of CD/DVD.

  If you can boot from any disk, but if the CD/DVD drive is not recognized by MY computer, then I recommend this:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Before you remove the upper and lower registry filters, remove the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and then go into the registry and remove the filters. Restart the unit.

  Good luck

  Hey Osama

  I think I can help you. The questions that appear on your laptop are not serious and the only one associated with software or registry.

  Regarding your noise problem:
  Please check this Microsoft document
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929685/en-us
  or
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/937077/

  the MS update must be downloaded and installed ;)

  Regarding the missing CD/DVD drive;
  I think you should try to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Then the operating system should recognize the STRANGE again.
  Secondly you should access the registry editor and should remove the upper filter and bring back the key filter
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

  Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

  My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

  I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

  An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

  I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

  Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

  Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

  Thanks for any help,

  Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

  However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

  So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.
