Satellite A20-130: SD-R2412 cannot read that DVD burned in some optical drives

Hello

I have a laptop Satellite A20-130, running Windows XP and Ununtu Dapper in a double score. My 2nd laptop is not a Toshiba. When I burned the DVD (DVD + R) with my laptop Toshiba no and played against them in my Satellite everything has worked well.

However, when I bought a new optical drive for my 2nd my Toshiba laptop suddenly stopped playing DVDs burned in this new optical disc (I was using exactly the same brand of disc and the same format - DVD + R). I tried the old DVD (those burned in the laptop before that material from the optical drive has been upgraded) and they can still read perfectly well.

This problem applies to both Ubuntu and Windows XP. Computer support portable 2nd said that sounds like a problem of firmware with my Toshiba. I updated the driver for my optical drive Toshiba R2412 SD (which according to the manual of the leader, seems to fix a DVD-Ram compatibility issue). Now the reader occasionally reads some of the new DVDs burnt (after doing lots of noise and waiting for ages), but more often that not, I get an error message saying that the device cannot be read, because the format is wrong or the device needs to be formatted.

This computer non-Toshiba laptop read DVD, it burns using the optical drive improved perfectly.

Hello

Satellite A20 is old enough laptop model, and after intensive use, it may be that the disc is more sensitive. If all this happens occasionally there no explanation just why this happens.

I know it's pretty boring, but I don't see any magic solution. In the end, you should test with new disc.

    Hello

    First of all, you should check if are some registry issues.
    Go to the register a remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then restart the device and check if you could read the CD.

    I had a lot of problems with different discs (CDs and DVDs) as well
    I could solve the problem. the problem is that my CD/DVD drive is not compatible with some CD and DVD from different manufacturers

    Finally, I bought some TDK CD - R and my CD/DVD player has been able to manage these disks
    I think you should check the different discs from different manufacturers too!

    Last but not least check if there is an update of the firmware of CD/DVD for you, CD/DVD player.
    To do this, you should visit checking page European driver Toshiba details more details.
    You will find the info if the firmware has been published for you CD/DVD drive.

  • Satellite A100 cannot read the CD burned from different computers

    Hello!

    I have no problem with the installation of programs on CD, listen to music, watch a DVD, or burning sensation. But I can not read the CD-Roma who were burned in other computers, and I recently bought a program that has been "customized" (IE professionally burned) and it won't work - the CD works perfectly on other computers, but not in my book. The company sent me a second copy, and I have the same problem.

    Why can't read CD-ROMs?

    Hi Leticia (nice name ;))

    You have a little experience in computers?
    I ask because many cell phone users don t know that not each medium is compatible with every drive. I mean that it of not rare that some CD or DVD cannot be read.
    For the most part in the user manual, you can find a list of compatible media, which should work on your laptop. In my manual, I found this info.

    In any case, what about the CD/DVD on your laptop? You are able to use CD/DVD burned on your laptop?
    Your burning software does not for me but I use Nero. This software is known to most people, and it works fine.

    Hello Joe

    I saw in some your previous assignments that you use external DVD drive too.

    I use my Tecra with Replicator port and a multi LG external DL disk attached to the port replicator (due to the fast data transfer firewire connection). Everything works fine and I wonder how you can have all of these problems.

    If your device is set up correctly, including all the original drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba download page should not have any problem. I hope that you have installed the unit without port replicator and you don t forget Mobile extension tool. As much as I know there is no driver for Replicator port and all the signals are loop just to the ports of the replicaror port.

    What is the status of the Panasonic player in Device Manager? The drive is displayed in Windows Explorer?

  • Satellite P100-10U preinstalled Vista cannot read DVD - event code 11

    After the work with my new Toshiba P100-10U system could not read DVD more, it is still able to read CD-Roms! In Device Manager, an exclamation point grey is visible.

    The event log indicates repeatedly "Treiber Der hat einen Controllerfehler auf \Device\CdRom0 found.", something like "the pilot detected error on \Device\CdRom0 controller."

    I installed the system again, but the wrong behavior is still there.
    The system has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s drive.

    I already checked the registry entry {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. There's no UpperFilter or UpperFilter attributes.

    Any idea?

    Thank for Kalle

    Hello

    I m really surprised because such error problem should be resolved after the installation of the new operating system.
    More as you already suggested the filter upstream and downstream in the registry key are mainly responsible for these strange drive problems.

    In any case, I recommend to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the CD/DVD drive again. You should see a message as new device has been installed or something like that

    In addition, it would be desirable to use a system like CCleaner repair program. It s freeware!

    Finally, you should check the registry again if the upper and lower filter exists and delete it.
    Don t forget to reboot the device.

    Good luck

Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible decoder is not installed on your computer. I do have it connected to the internet if that makes a difference.

    Can someone explain what it means all and what to do. All new at this game!

    Hello

    I think that you need to install a pack of codecs for Windows media player play DVD. I have good experiences with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Use Google to find, it contains the essential codecs for Windows Media Player.

    But let me give you a piece of advice: try to play DVDs with another room. I always use the VLC media player because it can play audio and video files more. In addition he s freeware and in my opinion more quickly as media player.
    Check it!

  • Carpet * a UJ-830 cannot read/write DVDs on Equium L10

    Hi, I have a laptop Equium L10. My DVD RAM mast * a UJ 830 cannot read/write to DVD discs. But it can read and write CDs.
    I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    This problem appears since day one?

    I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
    What burning software do you use?
    For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

    Help! : o).

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. Try removing the upper and lower filters that is also described in this paper to Toshiba:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7801XL0000R01.htm

    If it doesn't work try to boot from a bootable CD or DVD. So you can make sure if it s a software or hardware problem.

    Good bye

  • Cannot create Windows DVD, burning the disc - Satellite L350

    Can someone help I'm on a Toshiba satellite L350
    I'm trying to burn a DVD with Windows DVD maker. It is the fourth I've done and the previous ones were all OK.

    I can't burn the DVD, I tried both types of disc and made about 10 attempts today.
    When I try to burn it starts OK then I get about 34% and get an error message

    I had two different error messages, it says "cannot create the DVD error unspecified.". "
    The other says "cannot create DVD catastrophic failure"

    As Akuma wrote, it can be a problem creating Windows DVD and has nothing to do with the functionality of optical disc drive. It is good to check the updates.

    Can you test the WEIRD feature using a different burning application?

  • Portege M500 - cannot read overburned DVD + r

    Hi all

    running a Toshiba Portege M500, WXP SP2, the v3.30 BIOS Home
    Matsu * a DVD-RAM UJ-842 drive with firmware 1.01.

    My problem is that the drive will not read overburned DVD + r - reports "disk may be corrupted or using a format that is not compatible with windows."

    Discs read fine on desktop (Sony DRU-810 has, 1.0E firmware), IBM Thinkpad Combo drive, and sweep good PIE/PIF graphics. So I think it's a compatibility issue with the player on the Toshiba firmware. I rarely overburn by more than 30 MB, so there is a lot of writing on the left surface.

    Any chance there is an updated firmware that improves compatibility of the player on the Toshiba?

    See you soon,.
    C.

    Hello

    I put t know if the firmware update will help you but generally it s not the best idea to burn on the media.
    Drive hard internal don t support each CD or DVD and in my experience the reader on the portable internal lens is more sensitive than on external drives.

    In my opinion, you should try to burn data to DVD + R properly and not overburn

  • Cannot read the DVD with Windows Media Player

    Running WIndows Server 2008 R2.  Desktop experience is responsible.  In my view, that it includes Windows Media Player V12.

    Try to play the DVD.  The message "setting resolution".  Setting resolution does not help.

    Installed K-Lite Codec Pack full.  Get the same message on the resolution setting.  Uninstall K - Lite Codec Pack now I get ' WMP cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

    I'm a novice and dangerous, so no "step-by-steps" would be greatly appreciated.

    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Server forum.
