• Satellite L30-113 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

  I have a Satellite L30-113. Recently my driver failed for my dvd player, until I was able to install a few things and burn CDs and DVDs. Now, I can't record CDs or DVDs.

  Nero and CDBurnerXP for CD/DVD ROM say 'cannot continue burning process as you did not choose the device for recording. CD/DVD ROM propities shows that it does not support recording CDs and DVDs.

  I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again. I am a driver update search and xp tells me that the driver is up-to-date. I checked the Toshiba updates with none of these updates for CD/DVD ROM.
  I have no idea on how to fix this unit "corrupted".

  Hi mate,

  I had a similar problem on my Toshiba laptop. So here, I searched a little bin forum and I founded to delete upper and lower filters in the registry. I followed the instructions in this Microsoft article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  After that, I again was able to burn DVDs.

  In addition, updated driver from CD/DVD isn't necessary because this driver is part of the operating system.

  Well, either it's a question madia or CD/DVD drive problem.
  Check another CD and DVD from different manufacturers.
  If the same thing happens to what different types of media, then it s a STRANGE HW issue.

• Satellite M70-173 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I have an old but expensive laptop (Satellite M70-173). The CD/DVD drive is a carpet * a UJ - 841 s and can currently only read DVDs and CDs
  I have Nero installed 8.3.7.1, but it does not allow me to burn any DVD or CD
  I have all the updates that are installed for Nero, have also removed the "upper and lower limits" in the registry.

  It is not a mark of DVD or CD that I have not yet tried, but they all are coasters.

  I have the following options:

  1. try to set the drive - either with the technical assistance of the forum or replace the disk, so I decided that it is a hardware error

  2 buy a new laptop - but also like some advise on how to "clone" of the current notebook that I have so many other programs installed that I bought over the years and do not want to lose.

  I made copies pdf of burning errors I can post if necessary.

  Any help is welcome

  Kind regards
  Juan

  Hello!

  > I made copies pdf errors burning I can post if necessary.
  Yes, I think it's a good idea. ;)
  Otherwise it of a bit difficult to help you.

  But what CDs and DVDs you tried to burn? I have good experiences with Verbatim and TDK. Check it!
  And you should burn on a lower speed for CD e. g. 16 x.

  Good bye

• Satellite A60 no longer burn CDs and DVDs

  Hey, somebody help me.
  My A60 laptop no longer burned CDs and DVDs.
  There do not seem to read empty discs.
  Some regular she reads, but will not start and some, it will not
  not even start.

  Hello

  Sounds like a damaged disk device.
  Usual that these problems occur if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
  In my opinion it has not much to do. I don't think that the replacement of the drive will solve such a problem.

• Satellite P755-S5262 cannot determine if the DVD drive can burn a CD or DVD

  I recently acquired the P755-S5262 and cannot determine if the DVD drive can burn a CD or DVD.

  The description of Toshiba wrote:
  Drive DVD SuperMulti (+/-R double layer) supporting up to 11 formats but I can't imagine that a laptop of this caliber cannot burn a CD/DVD.

  I can't find an answer or a description nowhere else.

  Someone on this site/forum can answer my question?

• Satellite Pro M30 - cannot burn CD/DVDs

  Hello!

  Since I got my machine, I was not able to burn CDs or DVDs either. I get a 'power calibration error' that normally I guess means the disc broke. But, because it is a whole new drive (less then a month) and it can read all CD and DVD I throw at it, I doubt that it's a hardware problem. After a few minutes of Googling, I came across a thread made by other people encounter the same problem with this same drive (Mat * a UJ - 820 s), but no good solution (at least none that worked for me).

  Here is a log from Nero (6.6.0.1 (also tried older versions)). I hope this is of some use, because this is getting very frustrating... Thank you.

  Registry keys:
  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AllocateCDROMs: 0 (Security Option)

  Here's how I just fixed my misfortunes:

  In short: go to controller - device manager and select IDE ATA/ATAPI: try to change only "PIO" mode instead of "Ultra DMA Mode" on the IDE channel that uses your DVD player, namely the secondary IDE channel (since 1 is probably your drive). It should say "Location 1" on the tab where the reader is NOT zero.

  Ultra-DMA is obviously more recent and faster and better, but I think that it infiltrates the specified performance of the PIO-mode. It took me about 10 minutes to write about 3 gigs.

  (1) uninstall manually each device driver that seemed even remotely connected to the "Mat * one" or "DVD" or "CD" INCLUDING "Standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller" and "secondary IDE channel".

  (2) to ensure a hard reboot (power off)

  (3) Windows to automatically detect any material it appears after reboot begins

  (4) one of these elements has been the "secondary IDE channel"... or in any case... go to Panel of-> system-> hardware: secondary IDE channel.
  b change of "Ultra DMA mode" "PIO" mode only

  (5) go to control panel-> hardware-> device-> IDE ATA controllers Manager / ATAPI-> secondary IDE channel: Transfer Mode = "PIO only" to ensure that this relocation, you just live kept this adjustment, otherwise set it as such and again, DO NOT change your "location 0" define, show your secondary ide channel tab should say "location 1". "

  (5) - hard reboot again

  (6) the system should come in and automatically detect your CD-ROM / DVD-ROM / Optical Drive / DVD - RAM drive both at the next reboot.

  It should then work.

• Satellite A200 cannot burn CDs

  I have an A200 - 1 GB and I can not burn CDs and DVDs only. I tried different programs, but it was the same thing.
  What can be the problem? I want to update my driver, but I don't know which driver is from the download page. So, please help.
  Thank you.

  As far as I know Toshiba recommends to use the CD manufacturers listed in the user manual

• Satellite A40-231 does not start after the incorrect firmware update

  Hello
  I have a toshiba satellite a40 - 231.it unbootable because I flashed it's drive(sdr-6112) dvd - rw with the wrong firmware and I also made a mistake in making a non bootable back active partition, try to Flash the correct firmware. So my question is: can I boot from the usb flash drive? I think it's the only option I have left, if not network startup.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  As far as I know it of not possible to start other devices from the USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN

  You can boot from network, but if you want to install the OS via the LAN you will need a RIS server. But it's not easy to do without any additional experience. So I think that this option isn't for you.

  It seems that the drive is dead or is malfunctioning and that is why the best idea is to replace the device's drive. I know, it's hard to hear that, but I don't see any other solution

• Satellite A40-231 - 100% CPU usage when any browser works

  Hello
  my laptop is satellite A40-231, I have a problem for days.

  When I open any browser (I tried firefox, IE and chrome) I can't watch the video, everything is slowing down, I can't navigate between pages.

  I took a quick glance to the use of the cpu and it increase to 100%, it never decreases. When I close the browser, the CPU usage drops to 15%, which is normal. I thought it might be a virus that internet connection and make things slower. That's why I format my laptop. I deleted all of my hard drive and reformatted. I installed Windows again, but he has not changed. I even installed ubuntu (I thought maybe virus can not work under ubuntu), but it's the same thing. I turn on my laptop and I open a browser and the laptop slows. I have clean the cpu fan it has not helped.

  I tried to solve it for days I could not sleep properly, I'm about to cry :(

  Please help me please.

  Hello

  You have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? This drive will restore the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools so everything should work fine after that.

  In addition this happens with LAN or WLAN connection? You should try it with the other connection.
  Also check your router and update the firmware. Try to disable the encryption, MAC address filtering, etc.

• Satellite A40-231 sometimes restarts without any obvious reason

  I am owner of a satellite A40-231... my problem is that the computer mobile restars sometimes at will without any obvious reason.
  can someone help me please

  thnx

  Hello

  A restart (or reboot) as you describe usually follows a condition of serious error on your laptop that causes Windows reboot. Generally though, you'll get some sort of error message (blue screen) just before the reboot. You can prevent this automatic restart simply by disabling it in system properties options. Just right click on my computer-> properties-> Advanced-> Startup Recovery & -> settings and uncheck the Automatic Restart.

• Windows media player cannot read CDs and DVDs

  MS supports says my Player DVD is dead and needs a new drive. So, I just install a new ROM DVD and still have the same problem - cannot read CDs and DVDs.

  When I play the CD, I always get the error meessage--(lecteur Windows media a rencontré une erreur lors de la lecture de lecteur de CD en mode numérique...). 'Digital' is selected under the tool-> properties-> device.

  When I play DVD, it is frozen my laptop or keep spinning and froze the Windows Explorer and the reader.

  I was able to read DVDs and CDs once after a few restart. During playback of CD the WMP abruptly stopped with error message and since that time cannot play CD DVD & more.

  So far, I did a few fixs that I found online and nothing wroks:

  * No upperfilter or UpperFilter registry

  * Uninstall and let the laptop automatically reinstall the driver

  * Ms. Fix it gives different results every time I run the fix-(1) detects no problem and therefore no patches have been applied (2) the main media in the CD drive is not readable (same CD has played correctly when using external USB DVD rom)

  Can someone help and let me know what that could be the problem and how to fix it! Thank you!

  Hi Amy,

  You can read the following article to clear the Windows Media Player database and check if it helps.

  You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

  If you have any third-party media player installed on the system, then check if the DVD player works with it.
