• Re: Satellite A100-1VG - DVD drive disappearing

  Hello

  I have problems with the CD/DVD-RW drive on my Satellite A100-1VG. In fact, from time to time he disappears. It will not work to CDs or DVDs and it does not appear on my computer. The only mention of "Hard disks" in bed Device Manager "FUJITSU MHY2120BH ATA Device", which I think is my DVD player.

  I tried downloading new drivers without result. Unfortunately, my warranty expired, so I can't just kick the Toshiba laptop to be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you very much in advance.

• Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

  Audio device:
  Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
  Manufacturer: Intel

  (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

  Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

  The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

  I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

  Best regards
  Alan

  You use Windows XP Home with SP2 or SP3?

• Of Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive does not write CD

  My A100 running Vista cannot burn CD whatever CD I insert for registration, do not see it A100. DVD burning is OK. Weird and irritating. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Don t use Roxio program to burn the CD.
  Use Nero! It of much better! I also use it and I m very happy.

  I noticed that Roxio modifies the registry key, and so sometimes the CD/DVD drive cannot read or burn some mediums.

  Delete the Upperfilter and UpperFilter in this key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  and restart the laptop

• Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
  The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

  This means that the CD device is dead?

  Hey Micky,

  Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

  Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  Is there a solution?
  is that what the recoverable data?
  If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
  Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

  If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

  Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

• Satellite A - CD/DVD drive problems

  Hi guys go crazy...

  I have the following questions, trying to burn a cd or dvd. Sometimes I'm not recignise the disc as a blank disc ready for use, sometimes it burns then shows nothing on the disc, sometimes it burns more than one disk then fails, sometimes it works perfect...

  Today for example, I put in a 6 discs tried to copy the data off hd then failed, 7th disc works fine. Then when I go into the program, he suddenly used recignise of blank discs, I'd caution saying cd/dvd inserted could not detect with success, there is no logic to it... several times I went in only ashampoo and it does never no cd burner device detected, never had this before... Sometimes I questions with him rarely find a dvd that I have to put a few times and then he found it.

  Im not sure if its related, but I have this error came as well, or what it is - this related to?

  I ran a cd cleaning through it no help... tried to diffΘrents cds and dvds without help, install windows from scratch twice and update some software, used software of different formatting and options.

  I have restored the backup disk computer not better, I updated the package value drivers and silent dvd software. I tried to burn in Explorer, nero, shrink dvd, ashampoo buring etc etc... Still get mixed results.

  Im not sure if it's a hardware problem or software, I've never had a problem with it reading true copy DVD, sometimes probs wih burned those but if I put it six times, it works.

  Any ideas, im wasting a lot of CDs and DVDs with my failures...

  Hello

  Burning questions of CD or DVD are mainly related to a non compatible drive or finally it may be really a hardware problem (ODD).
  But first, you should check some different discs from different manufacturers.

  I had similar problems, but since I use the R TDK (CD and DVD), I have not noticed problems

  PS: I use Nero too. in my opinion the best burning software

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

• Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive problem

  Hello friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:

  1.87 C2D Ghz, 1 GB of Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...

  Question: Its been long enough, I m facing some problem with my optical drive. Whenever I insert a CD that is originally made by any company, it works fine. At the time when I insert a CD that is personally burned with any normal CD data / engraver of DVD or CD that have been created previously by the same laptop mentioned above, its been interpreted as a blank disc. The data on the drive are not displayed.

  For example: lets say if I insert a cd of the software as my webcam cd or cd of my printer they can be read normally and work very well. But at the point where I have to enter any cd that was burned by me that contains my personal files, it is read as a blank disc.

  This problem does not exist with any of the DVDs. that is not serious every dvd I insert either being a software normal dvd or one that is burned as a given personal dvd, everything works fine and all the data DVD can be read.

  I tried to reinstall the driver, I tried to reformat my laptop using the supplied with the notebook Toshiba Recovery CD, but the problem persists.

  Between a few months ago, I tried to do a few tweak, as firstly I have insert the cd in the drive and then turn off the reader of cd and then allowing it once again would actually read the cd. But after a few tries, it also stopped working.

  Now I have really no idea what should I do to get my CD to work normally.

  I hope that this message can help out me.

  Your help will be appreciated

  Thanks for your precious time

  Hi Claudia,.

  To be honest, I never heard A785 Satellite.
  You should check the model number again, as wrote Akuma. It would be important to know.

  But in General if you have the same problems after using the Toshiba Recovery disk it seems to be a bad material work because the recovery disc can restore the factory settings.

• Satellite 2430 DVD drive problem

  Hello
  My Satellite 2430 has had a strange DVD problem and may not know what is all about. All started when I tried to make a full recovery. The unit was not able to boot from the DVD. I checked the DVD player with different bootable disk, but still nothing. Unit won't boot from DVD drive even if you press F12 and peripheral DVD selected. Not to mention that the recovery DVDs is loaded normally in my desktop pc. Notepad starts Windows OK the HARD disk and, which is incredible, is that, inside Windows, everything is OK. The DVD player works like a dream. However, it is not enough to perform a full restore, as the recovery process cannot be initialized by Windows. A leap that the BIOS is at the origin of the problem, I've upgraded to version 1.6, but there is no change in the behavior of the DVD.
  Any thoughts, before using a big-big hammer?

  Hello

  Have you tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then first change the startup procedure to the CD player. The local network must be on the end.

• Satellite Pro A100 - CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  Can Hi anyone tell me what is wrong with this laptop?

  The problem is im using my DVD - ROM drive and it stops working. I went into Device Manager and it wasn't there and it was not in my list of drives. I went and checked the BIOS, it is not listed there either and the BIOS pick up all get them is check the cable or the conection.

  Would be grateful if some knows what happened or if my hard drive is gone.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

• Re: Cd/DVD drive problem - code error 39 on Satellite P series

  Hello

  It is my first request for assistance.
  My CD/DVD drive is most recognized, and when I go to Device Manager and click on CD/DVD I'm informed that the cdrom.sys file is there but cannot be loaded.

  An error number 39 is reported.
  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but please keep things simple to the actions of a single line if possible.

  Of course, you can get a few tips ;)
  I think you might find faster if you are looking for first in the forum, but I'll try to help you too.

  He error code 39 is very common issue and can be resolved easily.
  See this MS knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us

  So first of all remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
  Then access the registry using the regedit command and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Reboot the laptop and wait until the CD/DVD drive has been installed again.

  That s it. ;)

• Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

  I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

  I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

  However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

  What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
  Someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The recovery procedure is not difficult.
  Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

  Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
  I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

  Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)
