• Combo CDR/DVD SDR2102 drive will not read CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I have a mobile Ergo Elite 4.
  The hard drive crashed and I bought a new one.
  I have loaded windows XP by using a boot disk but cannot get the Toshiba SDR2102 CDR/DVD combo drive to work. I had to load windows on via USB
  using a USB port.

  I can see the drive in windows Explorer, but it will not read the CD or DVD.
  I looked in the Device Manager, and it came with no warning mark.
  I tried deleteting, re-startup and he's back in the Device Manager.

  I'm trying to find a better driver, but it says that I use the best driver.
  I tried various Web sites using sand everywhere tells me that I do not need a driver for this drive.
  What I do, it seems as if the Combo driver is recognized but it will not be read whatever it is inserted, he said only: insert the disc.

  Does anyone know what I can try? or know where I can get drivers for it or software to test the drive?

  any help would be appreciated. :-(
  Some.

  Hello

  You n t need a special driver for the CD/DVD drive.
  CD/DVD players use the current Microsoft drivers already contained in the Windows operating system.

  In my opinion, you should first test different types of media. Please note that not all CD or DVD s are compatible. Distribute readers can't handle bad quality mediums.

  But we shouldn't t rule out a risk of hardware malfunction.
  Disk failure and you may wish to contact your dealer for a replacement.

• Workstation XW8000 with XP recognizes the new DVD player but will not read DVDs

  I just added a DVD player for my HP xw8000 workstation. It is being prepared to try installing Windows 7. Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says that my machine calls brilliantly... all green. Also, because many new software products are released for MSDN on DVD, it is necessary for me to be able to use this DVD ROM.

  I installed the DVD drive is recognized by WinXP Pro with all the latest service packs. Shows up as drive E in Explorer, it appears as a CD ROM In Device Manager it is listed as E - IDE DVD - ROM DVD-8212. However this player will not read a DVD!  I tested the DVD media in another more recent machine and it reads very well in a same DVD ROM.

  Is there something wrong with the xw8000 it cannot read from a DVD ROM drive?

  Thanks for any help.

  Weird that you receive notifications by email of responses. Usually, this is the default setting. When you type a response, it is usaully a box that is checked to receive notifications by e-mail. (Top right)

  I agree, the DVD player seems to be defective. It should work with only Windows drivers. The only additional files that you need would be to play movie discs, etc.

  Are your jumpers on both drives positioned same_If the cd drive is jumper as master, the other slave as you. If the other player is cavalier CS (cable select) the dvd player must be linked, CS. I think most of the HP machines are CS. Try that to see if it solves. If this isn't the case, maybe time to try another drive.

• Satellite Pro A100: DVD UJ850 of disk I/O error - will not read disks

  I got a glance at other posts on the site of the people who have had a similar problem and I'm starting to think that my drive is defekt!

  The defective hard drives after extracting audio from a CD to store on my MP3 player. I arrived at almost the end of the CD and the drive started to jump so I took out the cd.
  After that, he would not read the discs and returned the device IO error that others have had.

  First thing I did was install the driver and cleaned the lens. No luck. Then I removed the device in Device Manager and reinstalled windows, still no luck. Then I tried the registery fix. I even removed the drive and put it back in, my same experience if this can sometimes fix things. Still no joy.
  As a last resort, I tried to find the firmware for the drive a Matsu * UJ850, but could ony find another OEM manufacturing of the firmware.

  Firmware is for the toshiba Variant? I have really no idea why he left after the extraction of a CD. He had a very light use and is more than 1 year. If there is a way to repair rather than shell out on a new, one I would welcome suggestions.

  I saw you first posted thread here in the forum on the problems of drive CD/DVD device.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20784
  You solve it? It of the same problem?

  The problem described here sounds a bit like a hardware malfunction. Especially the drive cannot read or write CD or DVD due to the lens of the drive failure.
  But maybe you are a lucky guy and the material is ok

  I noticed that the Sonic software could be responsible or IO errors.
  Remove the software Sonic add it & remove programs, reboot the laptop and clean the registry with CCleaner software recheck player features.

• Xbox will not read disks.

  Hello
  One day I was playing my xbox and I had my controller hooked up to it for recharge purposes. I got up and took my foot on the rope and tore the xbox a little. Tipped back, he didn't fall down. I opened the drawer and its opening, but the disc was always a little falling inside. I put in another game, and it seemed to have trouble reading the disc. Soon after, it worked. But as soon as I put in a new drive to play, he stopped. The xbox will not be any disk at all. It says 'Read' for about a second, then it goes back to say "open tray". It doesn't seem like he wants to even read the discs. Can anyone help?

  I put new games and DVD in, but it still does not work.
  The xbox is refurbished, and I've had it less than a year ago.

• DVD and CDROM will not read the disc

  I recently reinstalled Vista on my PC. In the process, I put a lot of files on a DVD rom for backup. My PC is now updated and everything works fine. However, I put he disc in the drive, it will attempt to read, but no files appear on the disc. However, when I click on "computer", then "E: / (DVD rom player)" it shows who have 4 + GB of information stored on disk. How can I get these files to appear and become available?

  Hi dharmapaws,

  This can sometimes happen if an audio device is disabled or if windows media player is already running in the background when the disc is inserted, then you can check this.

  You can also check if you are able to recover the files on another computer. If so, see if you can extract them and burn a new copy.

  Hope this information is useful.

• DVD / CD-Rom drive will not read disks.

  I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a software problem.

  When I put a disc in, it runs for 1-2 seconds, stops, turns for 1-2 seconds, stops, turns for like 1-2 seconds, stops (model repeats 3 times at once) and then silence.

  After trying several times to put in and taking the disc, it runs at full speed and I knew that it is a success that it's reading the disc to replay the video. But why it fails then back working again constantly. Solution?

  Also, when my computer is in "sleep" and I wake up, disk she could read his way 'sleep' cannot be detected anymore. Solution?

  The drive model is HP DVD Ram UJ8A2.

  I tried all the solutions software. None of them worked. I have actually used a piece of tissue paper to gently clean the DVD / CD lens a few times and now it works fine. I think the lens must attend a gentle cleaning. Resolved issues.

• Dimension 4550 DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM will not read disks

  My daughter has a Dimension 4550. The engraver has recently left working, so we replaced it with a Lite-On DH-20A4P-08 DVD - RAM drive. We played a couple of moview and a CD on the new drive. Today the old DVD-ROM new DVD-RAM both refuse to recognize that a disc is in the disc (DVD or CD); He says: no disc in the drive. We have checked the cable connections and updated the driver for the new drive with no luck. We also tried the Dell store without success.

  Any other ideas?

• CD drive will not read disk

  My CD drive was working fine, then suddenly the door opens, and when I inserted a disc manually (on the computer has read very well just a few hours earlier), I got a message saying that there no disc.

  If the door does not open and must be opened means that one cable to connect the drive to the motherboard or power has failed, or that the drive itself does not.

• Satellite L30: reader will not read CDs or DVDs

  In the evening, I was recently testing on various operating systems on my laptop and eventually decided to return to Windows Pro.
  It was working fine until a couple of days, but then the hard drive started making a rattling noise, like R/RW head stuck.

  Now it will not read CDs or DVDs, can someone please help and tell me if it's a failure of the software or hardware, and the best way to fix it?

  Hello

  The drive problems are not uncommon and may still occur.
  For the most part the purpose of calibration training does not work correctly.
  The objective must be calibrated in the correct position until the player will read or write to the media.
  This fault is not reperable and especially the drive needs to be replaced!

• UJDA750 will not read dvd - r

  Subject he says all new Tecra M4 and integrated carpet * a UJDA750 DVD/CDRW combo won't read DVD-R, in fact until I uninstalled the DLA & NTI software it's rather rude on the reading of a CD - RW!

  What is the point of a new DVD player that can not read the DVD-R commune!

  I want to emphasize that the media reads fine in 5 different readers other than that burned the dvd - r to the origin. I have tried 1 x, 4 x & 8 x media with the same disappointing results.

  Hello

  I don t know why it isn't possible, but have you checked all other CD for writing?
  If this problem occurs with any type of media, so it s best to contact a Toshiba Service partner and ask for verification of the disc.

  Read CD - RW discs, to a UDF reader software. Discs CD - RW are written in UDF 1.5 format. This UDF reader software can be downloaded from Adaptec "s web site: www.adaptec.com"

  This software can play CD - RW discs written with rewritable CD drives that are written in UDF format. Without UDF reader software, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in s Toshiba laptops can only read ISO 9660 discs.

  Good bye
