Reads the DVD as a CD ROM drive

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop computer bed. PL advise solution. Thank you

  My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

  Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

  Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

• Satellite M30X: reader will not read the DVD-R data but plays movies in DVD-R and CD

  I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
  I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.
  However, when I put the DVD in the drive of Toshiba combi, it clicks for a moment or two, but when I click on the combi drive in my computer, the folder is empty and it is said there are 0 bytes.
  CD of still works, audio and data, DVD movies fine, reading DVD-R on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) plays very well, but he won't recognise DVD - r with data (JPEG or MP3) on them.

  It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.
  However, these discs work perfectly in my old office to 7 years with a Sony DVD/CDRW combination of 4 years.
  I'm puzzled.
  I don't particularly want to reinstall windows, in the case where it does not recognize the recovery DVDs and I remember Microsoft a Note having activated by phone with a code that is different every time you ask him to generate a.
  It's a bit of pain that I wanted to make my pictures with me in my laptop bag.
  I won't be carting around an external DVD burner just to read the DVD.
  I've updated the firmware for SD - R 2512.
  He had no other effect freeze on a black screen on restart - I had to hold down the switch 15 minutes in this State.
  The laptop is 1 year and 26 days if that counts for anything.

  Anyone have any ideas? Or can I just put up with him.

  Hello

  Well, I can only make suggestions.
  You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
  This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

  Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
  You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

  But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
  I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.

• Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

  I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  @Magnus:
  Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
  In addition, this burning program did you use?
  I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
  What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

• Blu Ray player can not read the DVD. It can read CDs and Blu Ray discs, but not DVD.

  Recently, I lost my hard drive.  Dell sent me a new disk with the drivers that came with the computer.

  I just noticed that my Blu Ray player is no longer playing DVDs.  I don't know if the hard drive crash has nothing to do with it, or if it's a coincidence.

  Windows says I have the latest driver.

  The computer is a Dell XPS 8300.   Is the Blu Ray player: bd - re bh30n hl-dt-st.

  The player has not served almost at all.   I read that there are the eyes for the Blu Ray vs DVD, then maybe the DVD part has failed.

  I'm always suspect that miss me a piece of software or a changed value.

  Any ideas?

  For all of you, the poor souls who shared my problem on the internet, I got beyond that.   Even though all said I had the latest driver, I found someone who said that they had downloaded a newer driver form the LG site and it fixed the problem.   Well, BH30N wasn't a model # on the LG site, but I found here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1703-file_BH30N-A103.zip.html Norton said it was OK, I clicked on the EXE file, he said that he had me upgrade from A101 to A103 and suggested that I reload.   Once I did, my Blu Ray player will read the DVD fine.

• My Dell laptop does not recognize the DVD / CD player or D drive more.

  My laptop does not recognize the DVD / CD player or D drive more. It is built in and included with the computer is a Dell. Can't use it because the computer can't find it. All ideas

  Original title: DVD player

  If it just happened all of a sudden, you can restore the registry files of the system in working order by following option n ° 1 on this page.  If this does not work, you can be reasonably sure that the configuration of the system is not the problem and start looking into other possibilities as a broken drive or a bad connection inside the cable.

• DVD/CD rom drive reads CDs but does not read the DVD.

  My Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop has a DVD/CD rom drive.  It loads all the CD I want and them automatically opens on the D drive.  When I put in a DVD movie it will not play.  I open my computer, and then look at the D drive, and it does not even recognize that there is a DVD inside but it shows a screen of a CD that I put in there.  This tells me that it works and it has a green light on the side which shows.  Also, when I insert the DVD it makes sounds as it tries to recognize, but then it stops and does not appear.  Can anyone help?  I really appreciate it.  I'm not very savvy computer.  I know that some in this topic because I am a teacher and try to catch up with things, but I'm certainly no computer technology.  Thank you very much!  Let me know if I need to give more info.  I think the reader is Sony CRX835EK but I'm not 100% sure on this one here.

  If your Player reads cd but not dvd which indicates that the material works very well. You need to change the registry inorder to solve this problem.

  1) click on the start menu
  2) click on 'run '.
  (3) type "regedit" and click ok
  4) go to the key of the string "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
  (5) delete "upper filters" and "lower in the right window.
  (6) right click on my computer in the start menu.
  7) click on properties
  8) go to the Hardware tab
  9) click on Device Manager
  (10) expand the dvd/cdrom drives
  (11) made a right click the dvd rom and click on uninstall
  (12) restart the computer

  After the reboot, windows should automatically install a ROM clean disc and read DVDs very well if you have the correctDVDdecoders

• CD/DVD Rom drive reads the DVD as blank disc?

  Looked for information on the subject the whole place and it feels like I'm the only one who has this problem.

  The CD/DVD-Rom drive in my HP laptop is not reading the data on my DVD or CD I DVD that have been burned on a computer and some other that I burned on this drive. Data on them that I've used them in the past and without any problem. I changed nothing on my computer since the last time I used them I can think of and I have all the latest software updates for Vista and HP.

  Now when I put in drive it takes about a minute and then gets up and tells me that the disc is empty, but I know it's NOT like I've used it before and I see on the underside of the drive it was burned.

  Is this a problem of software or a hardware problem or disk I have not tried a lot of things that just the standard checks to try to get the drive to run but without success. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks Phil.

  Hello PhilStokes,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Sorry, you have a problem with this issue.  I would first go to Device Manager to verify that all drivers are up-to-date.

  Go to start-> Type ' Device Manager "" in the search field-> select Device Manager '->, select here (+) for the CD/DVD - rom-> This will fall to the bottom of your device-> next right-click on the device and select update. "

  If not chance or driver is already updated, return to Device Manager and right click on your device and select uninstall.  You may be prompted to restart, anyway go back to Device Manager and right click again and select install or update.

  Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
