  Sorry but I don't understand your problem. You wrote just HD-DVD, it does not work. What exactly do you mean? The optical disk drive does not work or you can't watch HD-DVD movies?

• Sat 1900 - CD/DVD drive does not work properly. How to solve this?

  Hello :-)

  I have a Toshiba Satellite 1900, bought in 2003. It has a cd/dvd drive called MAST * UJDA720.

  For the last 3-4 months he was not working properly with movie DVDs. whenever a movie starts, it does not work smoothly, but in stop-and-go. First of all, I had everything again and it works fine, but lately, he never runs well and some DVD doesn't work well at all. Excuse me it I do not explain, I don't have the words in English.

  But maybe someone understands me and can help. My DVD player is dirty? Is there something like a standard CD? Or do I have to give the laptop to a repair shop?

  Thank you in advance, I would like to have my DVD player, back to normal - especially as I don't have a TV.

  Hello, Kerstin

  If you can watch the DVD on the unit I don't think the drive is defective. I have the same unit and still work well. Stop and go while playing DVDs can be caused due to the high utilization of the processor.

  Please try to start the Task Manager and check all running processes. All unnecessary processes can be stopped and on this way, the CPU will go to a lower level. If the antivir software is installed on your unit checking if this software analyzes the HARD disk and stop it.

  These things together can be responsible for stop and go while playing DVD movies.

  Good bye

  Hello

  Check with the manufacturer of the system, their online documentation and drivers, diagnostics, and
  Ask problems known in their forums. You may also check those similar
  resources on the site of the manufacturer of the actual device (for the original drive).

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

  It is not surprising that the same issue affects the old and the new drive.

  This problem may be caused by the presence of too many CD/DVD programs competing for resources,
  especially by these programs that run at startup.

  Even if the error is not Code 22 check these:

  If necessary:

  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

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

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

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  do it right.

• CD/DVD drive does not work after 8 Win instalation

  Since a month since I've updated my windows in windows 8, everything works fine but the DVD - RW.

  When I put the blank cd and try to open it, it gives me error when opening by saying:
  "windows could not complete the format".

  Who's a software or a hardware problem?

  waiting for help!

  This means that your CD/DVD drive no longer works and is not recognized by the system?

  If Yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document that I found on the portal of the knowledge base site:

  In my view BIOS update will not change.
  I assume that the reader has worked in the past with the same BIOS version
  It is a drive hardware problem or some registry keys are corrupt.

  I think that it s a hardware malfunction may be a matter of lenses.
  But try this;
  Remove the drive from Device Manager and shut the laptop computer. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Then you can check the functionality.

  Otherwise, you can remove the disk from the laptop, and then start the laptop without the drive. Then stop the laptop, put the drive in the notebook and start over.
  The firmware should again loads.

  But if these procedures help t, I don t see it differently as for replace the drive

It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

• 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.
