Hello

In my opinion, your DVD player is faulty. The position of the laser for reading and writing is not the same. It will be interesting to find out, you can watch DVD movies and if all DVD media can be read correctly. Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. Let the operating system detects the drive again and test it.

I put t think you can do something.

  • Satellite 5200 801: how to replace DVD burning drive?

    Hello
    A few days ago, I decided to replace my CD/DVD burning drive (burn DVD at 1 x) with a more faster and more modern.
    The problem is that, while turning on my laptop, it stops without any error message, as if she could not recognize the hard drive, so there is no professional Windows startup (problem of configuration master / slave?).
    I tried with two different burning drives and I also upgraded the BIOS of the laptop to version 1.40 (date 17/04/2003), but there was no result.
    Help me thanks

    You guessed it right,

    It's a question of master/slave/CS.
    Find out your old drive (firmware DI has something like 170) and try to locate the sense of them (current setting of M/S/CS) of it through the Internet on specific DVD player forums.

    Then determine WHAT type of disc, you will need to buy to make it work on your computer (or find the firmware suitable for do this... you'll need a different laptop that DOESN'T RECOGNIZE the DVD drive in the State, it is now).

    DVD Slimline portable computer readers usually do not come with a rider to make this adjustment (M/S/CS) on your own but are set with the internal firmware for this. There are other ways on how to get it to work (to force a shortcut on the back of the card), but I would not go for it if I were you.

    Hello

    Sometimes, burning and playback does not work due to incorrect settings in the registry. Maybe you're a lucky guy and he will have to change this;

    Try this:

    Remove the CD/DVD driver from the Device Manager and restart the laptop. Then the operating system should recognize and reinstall the drive.

    Do this:
    Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Help me please... Thank you

    Hello

    What model you exactly (for example, I am very interested in Satellite A50-111). But anyway if your mobile is correctly installed since your recovery CD or DVD it should be no problem.

    Please check in Device Manager if there is some hardware problems with your DVD/CD drive. You have a DVD Super Multi drive and it is possible to burn them all.

    Have you installed a software burn? Have you tried to format the DVD - RW, DVD + RW and DVD - RAM?
    What are your tried exactly?

  • Satellite Pro L500 does not burn DVD

    I have TWO laptops Satellite Pro L500 with a TSSTCorp TS-L633C DVD - RW. BOTH have the same problem - burn a DVD fails during the finalization process, regardless of how fast you burn at.

    Burn the CD works fine.

    Burn fine blank DVDs on a laptop Satellite L500D using the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20N drive, as well as on an another Satellite Pro L500 which is to use a Pioneer drive.

    Two laptop computers with problems are ongoing running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, but nothing else than the software that came with the laptop. Both are new straight out of the box. Driver is the current version driver, from what I can find.

    Any suggestions? When a laptop has shown problems, I thought that maybe it's the reader, but now 2 notebooks of totally different stores showing exactly the same problem?

    Thank you.

  • Satellite A200-1js: I can burn DVDs only at 4 x

    Hello people.

    My of my Satellite A200-1js dvd rom is not working very well. When I try to burn, a dvd is only recording at 4 x.
    But I want more speed because the original dvd are 16 x and it can operate at this speed.

    A firmware update fix this?

    If yes how can I do this?

    Thnkx

    As far as I know burning and playback speed depends on the material (CD/DVD drive). Looks like your CD/DVD drive can burn to DVD at 4 X max.

    > A firmware update fix this?
    Don t think so; first an update is not available, and second, the material is not able to burn faster.

    By the way; I burn my DVD still at 1 x because the quality is much better and more DVD players can read burned environment!

    Hello

    As much as I know all CD or DVD in Toshiba laptops are pre-set to be a slave. HARD drive is preset to be master.

    Please keep in mind that all CD or DVD devices may not work correctly with all Toshiba laptops and before that you want to change any hardware component to pick up some information service partner.

    Good bye

  • Satellite 5200 - need master/slave patch for the new DVD player

    I need a patch for DVD to use in a Satellite 5200.

    My original DVD is broken, so I bought a Toshiba SD-C2512 DVD but it does not work inside the Satellite, but with adapter to my desktop PC.
    I patch the DVD in master.

    Where can I get the file and the prog for patch?

    Hello

    I think that these patches do you mean are not available and as far as I know if you can spend a notebook of the master to the slave, for example there is a jumper on the drive.

    However, to me it sounds like this drive is not compatible with this laptop. Not every disc is compatible with all laptop (g. pins assignment.) e  ;)

    You must buy a new one and check the user's manual. There you should find a list of compatible drives.

    Good bye

  • Cannot burn DVDs on my Satellite C660

    I just bought a new complete Satellite C660 and I cannot burn DVDs.

    Tried to burn with the recovery media creator, Nero, IMGBurn and all fails at around 75%.
    When I tried to burn the recovery CD as I was asked that they have failed because of a problem STARTING...

    You can create DVDs from recovery use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. Please test using DVD-R media.

    Have you tried using different media of high quality as TDK or Verbatim?

    Sorry, but this startup message said nothing to me. I've never seen something like this, even if I created several on several laptops Toshiba recovery disks.

  • Satellite 5200-801 DVD-R/RW does not work!

    Hello
    I bought there are these laptop at least 2 1/2. I tried several times to get the DVD burning feature to work and was not wrong. Finally, a friend gave me a copy of Nero, and just like the other packages, I have used before, the system does not recognize the drive Virgin dvd - r.

    What could I do?
    Help, please!

    Thank you!
    Fidel

    Hi Fidel,

    I think that the 5200-801 use an optical drive Toshiba SD-R6012, who should be able to burn DVD-R and DVD - RW. It is possible that your player is not happy with the brand of blank media you're trying to use so I suggest you try a few different brands to see if it improves the situation.

    It is also possible that the device has a defect which is preventing them from actually identify the blank DVD when you insert it. Have you checked that the device will play pre-recorded media properly?

    Kind regards

  • Cannot burn DVD-R with my Satellite P100-342

    I bought a Satellite P100-342 two years ago. Some time after I tried to burn DVD + R and it was impossible, so I sent it to Toshiba. A few weeks later, when they returned to my laptop I saw that I can burn DVD + R, but it was not possible to burn a DVD-R.

    I tried with many manufacturers of DVD - R, but no one works.

    I checked my DVD multi recorder (HL-DT-ST-DVD RAM GMA-408N) with Nero Info Tools and it checks ON items: DVD + R and DVD-R. It shows that system ASPI are not installed and I don't know if that's the problem.

    My OS is Windows MCE.

    Will you help me, please?

  • Satellite M45-S169 - Sonic v.7.31 cannot burn DVDs more

    I was able to copy DVDs using this software.
    Until recently, it burns more.

    Hello

    Have you tried to delete upper and lower filters in the registry of the Windows operating system?
    Isn't it? Try this:
    Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Also I would not recommend trying the other and different discs (CD and DVD) from different manufacturers.
    But of course it could also be a hardware problem. I mean the discs of the laser lens has stopped working properly due to mechanical stress.
