• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

  Bye and good luck

• Satellite A210-12U - DVD RW drive will recognize the DVD but no CD

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite of 4 years (model: A210-12U) that I recently restored using the recovery CD - it running Vista SP2.

  Please bear with me as this may be an ish story, but it helps to explain my problem.
  Around a year ago, a virus has made its way onto my laptop and almost destroyed the BONE - I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable software-wise after studying at the College and began the long process of trying to resolve my laptop without using the recovery CD.

  It was a patch job, but after a month or two, I had it works again and it was fine for a period of a few months or so, before, I noticed that my DVD RW drive would no longer read or burn CDs. I spent hours trawling internet forums to help without a bit of luck and was eventually convinced that it was a hardware problem.

  As I needed to use a CD burner, my cousin gave me his DVD - RW USB drive and it did not work, which means that the logic suggested that it wasn't a physical problem with the drive, rather that it was most likely a problem with the registry/OS. It was not surprising given that I had done a basic work patch following the infection by the virus a few months earlier.

  After becoming more and more frustrated with my laptop in general, I backed up my data on a portable hard drive and used the recovery CD that came with my laptop. The laptop started the CD when he was outside of the OS (according to the instructions that came with it) and restored all of the computer to its original state (and solve many of the problems that have been caused by the virus in the process).

  I have spent the last week re - install programs, the copy of backdata etc. and was trying to install a software on a CD today, when I noticed that the laptop had difficulties to access the disk. Explorer Windows knows that the drive is there; It is listed in 'My Computer' and will also be the small CD icon alongside the pointer when it tries to load the CD - suggesting that he knows that there is a CD in there.

  However, the drive will still read DVD that suggests, it could be a physical problem with the drive itself (I read somewhere on the laser need to change its angle accordingly during playback of CDs and DVDs). I have a question though, what the computer was able to read the recovery CD when I was being a complete restoration (and that she felt the same difficulties of CD playback in Windows before restoration).

  I tried all the suggested methods in similar posts on this forum - Microsoft Fix It, uninstall the drivers etc nothing helps... So yes, I am a little confused and wonder if anyone can help?

  The DVD RW drive is listed in Device Manager as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device.

  Thank you
  Ben

  Hi Ben

  In my opinion, this is material junk. You're right about the position of the objective. It needs to be calibrated for CDs and DVDs. If the optical disc drive cannot read one of these media in general, it can be problem of lens calibration.

  To be honest sides for this old A210 are cheap and more. I advise you to buy a new or used one on eBay. Exchange and test functionality.
  To be honest I don't believe there is a trick that can help you get it working again.

• Update of the question on Satellite Pro L40 - 15A - old BIOS BIOS cannot recognize the EEPROM

  Hello

  I can't Flash my bios.
  I have a Satellite Pro L40 - 15A.

  The Toshiba winflash tool provided with the bios file tells me as the "old BIOS cannot recognize EEPROM.

  I was recommended to use AFUDOS on another forum, but telling me that the bios has a boot not block valid.

  Flas for back FRIEND tells me that the flash rom is write-protected? There is no option in the bios to disable and I don't think that anyone would be stupid enough to put a hardware Bios protect jumper on a laptop.

  Help, please

  THX

  Dear Bruce

  Can you please tell me what you want to do and explain us it please your steps to update the BIOS of your laptop Satellite Pro?

  I did the update of BIOS more than 20 times in the last month and I really wonder what you mean with terms such as EEPROM or AFUDOS. What BIOS update version that you want to use? I assume as 5.10. Am I wrong?

• Aspire 7750G cannot recognize blank DVD + rw

  Hello

  I have a aspire 7750 G with a DVD super Multi DL drive. When recently I tried to burn some files on a blank DVD I noticed that my laptop does not recognize the DVD. First I thought that the problem was with the Manager of combustion, so I tried another, but still it does not recognize the DVD. I also tried another blank DVD, but it would not recognize this one either.

  Does anyone knows how to solve my problem? (If I use a DVD not empty there no problems)

  Thank you

  PS Sorry for my bad English

  Hello!

  I knew someone who had the same problem with a desktop PC. It turns out the optical drive was really fussy on the disks were used!

  If the disc you have is a + R or + RW then indicate a-r or RW - or vice versa. Sometimes some brands may not work in your drive too, so you may need to try a few different types to see what works for you!

  If you still cannot operate, the drive itself may be at fault and will need replacement.

• Windows cannot recognize the dvd burner

  If I'm not mistaken I have not had any problems burning dvd last time I used the dvd windows burner

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• Satellite Pro L300 - Mat * one UJ850-S - read only DVD

  My DVD-ram does not read some data and all audio CDs however it plays DVDs. I can't find any solution on the net what could cause this. Does anyone else know?

  Hello

  You mean the CD/DVD drive is not able to read the CD s but the DVDs are readable?
  Hmm, my first is a hardware malfunction, maybe the player's laser lens can not calibrate correctly in the right position?  :| who knows

  But before you would contact the authorized service provider in your country for a reader of CD/DVD check I recommend you delete entirely the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:

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

  In addition, you can check if an update of the firmware of this player is available on the European driver Toshiba page. If there is on firmware supported, then run an update.

• Cannot read any DVD - Format not supported, please insert a movie

It worked fine until two weeks ago, when I downloaded a 14 Adobe's Photoshop elements. Now, I can't play any DVD. I get a message saying 'Format not supported, please insert a movie.

Is there a way to restore the function of DVD?

• DVD - RAM drive cannot read the CD on my Satellite M40X

  I bought a satellite pro m40x. The dvdram drive can only read dvd but not cd ROMs and music CDs. I tried already with the original ones. I upgraded the bios but nothing changes. Thanks.Paolo.

  [Edited by: admin on 03-Sep-05 17:09]

  Hello

  It of very unusual. Try this: go to the properties of the drive DVD ram (right-click).
  Somewhere in the properties is a checkbox to enable digital CD PLAYBACK. Make sure this box is checked.

  In Autoplay make you a corresponding task is associated with music CD and not action.
  Load a music CD and then right-click on your CD-ROM drive. There should be a PLAY option.

  If the DVD player not working after this change, so I think that it s something wrong with the hardware.
  In my opinion, you should contact the service partner.

  Good luck

  Good bye
