Nero and the Toshiba disc creator toinsert tell me a disk empty although there is already a.

Help, please!

Hello!

Have you tested drive from different manufacturers? I have good experiences with Verbatim discs. I use for years and never had any problems with it. Try it!

Visit Toshiba if you can find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

  • Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of the CD or DVD after BIOS update

    While DVD copy, asked me to do an upgrade of the bios for the included software on my laptop, so I thought that coming from toshibsa, it must be safe. I closed all my apps and let the update occur, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd.

    Now my dvd writer does not read most of my CD or DVD, original as well.
    I managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after a battle before the update to see if I can go back to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it.

    > I can return to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it

    I don t think that the BIOS is the problem here, the point is that CD and DVD support details are stored in the firmware of the CD/DVD drive and NOT in the BIOS of the laptop.
    So in my opinion the update of the BIOS is not the reason for your problem.

    I think you should check if cleaning the laser lens allows you to read discs.
    Use a fluid wadding tip and alcohol to gently clean the laser lens.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    Can someone help what to do?

    Thank you very much:

    Hello

    Have you installed the driver for the card reader?
    Have you noticed an unknown device in Device Manager?

    Please see the page of European disk from Toshiba for the card reader driver.
    Satellite A200-1N7 belongs to the PSAE3E series
    I found the driver of the card reader for Vista 64-bit
    Usually the Vista driver should work on Win 7 OS too

    If this does not work, then try the drivers released for A500 or L500 series!

  • DVD does not accept blank disc in Mode without failure.

    I'm trying to help an old friend whose PC can have a DURATION Packager, and she has never backed up its data.  I am trying to copy and burn his pictures in safe mode and I have files waiting to be written to DVD, DVD, but does not recognize blank CD or DVD disc and said he must be added.

    Probably, he needs services (that you will need to run), in order to work. Which usually happen in safe mode. If it is a virus / infection, I would like to start in safe mode. networking, update the antivirus. And get something like Malwarebytes . Then update both. Then analyze the entire hard drive

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s does not read blank media - need new firmware

    Hey I have a laptop Equium only around the age of 4 months.
    Had nothing but problems with the CARPET * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device drive.
    I need to know where I can get the update of the firmware.

    Firmware for it, that she will not read blank media.

    I agree with master... I don't know what kind of problems you have, but if the player doesn't work properly, it must be replaced. The warranty is certainly valid and the nearest authorized can help you with it.

    Maybe you made a mistake. Take your laptop to the nearest service and show them what you mean exactly. Here, we can only speculate what may be your problem.

  • Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

    Hello

    I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

    The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

    Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

    What can I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You can do the follwowing:

    Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

    Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

    Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.

  • Satellite P855: CD/DVD drive does not read 3 "Disc Camcorder

    I have a new Toshiba Satellite P855 model but can not get the CD drive integrated read/recognize 3 "discs of my Sony's Handycam camcorder.

    My previous laptop Aspire straight bed (as did older laptops) and currently have to use the Acer to import video footage on a hard drive.

    If I connect directly the Sony camcorder to laptop Toshiba (via USB) it won't always recognize the drive if I put it back in there.

    The Toshiba uses the W8 while software on Acer and other models previous I was using Windows7, but I do not see how it would make a difference.

    Can someone tell me if it is possible to get my Toshiba to read the discs of my camcorder?

  • Satellite A210 - BIOS does not work after upgrade

    Hello

    I have a satellite A210-17 for a few years now, but I made the mistake to go to the Microsoft Web site
    to make a BIOS setting to day and once I installed upgrading BIOS, that the laptop did not return ever on, black screen.

    I brought a guy in the month city 3 or 4 he is, he said, it could replace a bios chip if necessary
    but did nothing or I would have heard of him now.

    Is it possible that I can get the bios chip and have him install for me?
    I don't have 200 euros to replace the whole motherboard.

    This laptop was brilliant before that.

    Thanks in advance

    Update the BIOS is a very serious procedure, and the use of fake and not compatible BIOS would damage the motherboard.

    To be honest, I don t think that the replacement of the EPROM would help you that of course, the BIOS is stored on EPROM module but in most cases this chip is soldered to the motherboard and the EPROM replacement will not be easy

    To my knowledge the EPROM module could be flashed once more using the crisis disk BIOS and the special procedure. Usually, these updates of the crisis of the BIOS can be done by maintainer authorized Toshiba and that don t require the replacement of the EPROM module.

    I also read in this forum that some guy tried to Flash the EPROM module to clean hands in some cases, it worked, but in different cases such update does not work correctly

    However, I recommend you to use the advanced search option forum and check a few different discussions on crisis disk BIOS / update

    Otherwise I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP in your country and products BIOS Update of the crisis

  • Satellite P200-1EE does not read HD DVD drive TS-L802A HD

    I bought a P200-1EE of PC World and have found since that she has huge problems for reading HD DVDs via HD Toshiba DVD player software.

    I bought the last movie of Harry Potter of Warner Brothers to test the drive. Player software launches (after recognizing the media) once I inserted the disc to hd, but it crashes then once he eventually tries to read the disc. I know that the drive is ok because it worked without any problem on the Xbox HD dvd player, and on about 60 attempts, he played twice!

    The guys from PC World pulled a 1EE another P200 of their warehouse and after it is autoconfig he had the same problems, that is to say he ran the player then locked with a black screen (no error) and we finish the task the software does not respond.

    I'm a little frustrated and can not find the Board of anywhere. I have updated the bios of laptop computers, but can not find updates the firmware for Player software or drive. The driver doesn'tseem to have updates or the other (version 6.0.6000.16386)

    I have an exceptional appeal with Tosh but I hope someone else can have solved something similar.

    I am also looking for support playing movies through the HDMI cable, if I can get the laptop working.

    Thanks for your time my dear SIRS.

    Hello

    You use the Toshiba HD DVD player?
    If yes-> trying to update from Toshiba's HD DVD player with the update published on the Qosmio G30.
    There is an update of this utility, and the original version must be installed to perform this update!

    But please don t forget a fact; HD DVD technology is very recent, and not all movies have been designed with the same level.
    Sometimes may occur that the player will manage all HD DVD.

    Of course, you could try to test other HD DVD movies to ensure that equipment (HD-DVD player) is not defective
