Satellite - CD/DVD drive reads only CD

I'm abit confused in this situation. My CD/DVD drive reads CDs but does not read the DVD. I don't know if I have to reinstall the driver for the CD/DVD or should be replaced.

Please can someone help.

Hello!

There is no special driver first of all for the CD/DVD drive. The pilot is part of the operating system and should be updated or exchanged.

I also put t know why the drive isn't reading DVD s more but have you tried to clean the lens of the drive? Therefore, you must use a microfibre cloth than zero of the lens doesn t and be careful!

In addition, you can boot from a CD?

Good bye

    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    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

  • How can I make an external USB drive read-only?

    I'm trying to find a solution to take a USB HD in a spacing classified environment / air.  If I can make the drive read-only (like I gave him that I need to copy on these machines), then the Agency will probably approve the device.  I can't use DVDs that data are 30 + GB in size.

  • How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

    Hello

    I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

    I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

    Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

    I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

    Thank you very much

    Dougal

    I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
    Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

    Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.

  • Satellite L755-1N6 CD/DVD drive reads scans to disk but no disc inserted

    Hi all!

    Yesterday, I bought a brand new Satellite L755-1N6 and I must say that I am very satisfied with this product.
    Of course, except one thing...

    For some reason any my Player CD OFTEN reads/scans / searches (?) for CD/DVD even if no disc is inside! It's large notebook, but frequent ringing of CD drive is very very annoying and it is not normal.

    He's trying to 'read cd' for approximately every 5 minutes (give or take a few minutes). I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. If please, if anyone has experienced this problem and do you know what this is all about?

    BTW I have disabled Autoplay setting, although I think that it doesn't matter anyway.
    It happened at least twice while I was writing this post...

  • Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

    Hello

    I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
    The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

    We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

    Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
    Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
    Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

    There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

    Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

    > Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

    You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

    I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
    You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

    Have you tried to update the CD/DVD drive?
    You could go to the Device Manager and could remove the reader of CD/DVD from the list of devices.
    Then, you must restart the laptop.
    After restarting again the Windows operating system will recognize the new device as the CD/DVD drive and will initialize and reinstall the driver.

    Then try using the new CD/DVD drive

  • D:\ is not a valid win32 application. CD/DVD drive reads music CDs, but no installation CD

    I recently reinstalled my Thinkpad T42.  After installing XP and install all updates, I tried to install Microsoft Office Pro 2003 by CD-ROM.  My CD/DVD is not able to read the CD and gives the following error D:\ is not a valid win32 application.  The drive can read music CDs and works correctly.  The Office 2003 installation cd is clean and works on other computers.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Yes, you are right logically.

    Now I see two sceenarios for the solution to analyze your clues:

    Number 1: Technically on the media (e.g - CD/DVD) in what place (at level nm) is the setup.exe, which might be a little corrupted or overburn.

    To read the corrupted or overburn data recording Media(e.g-CD/DVD), lens optical drive must be precisely align / optimized. But your workout goal isn't in this top performance more. So that it can read only where another player can read that.

    Actually lose everything in a music or movie playback by laser beam data a bit do not count a lot (maybe a drop of a sound level of a few nanoseconds which is missed by our ear) but to read a file .exe must be exact to change a little vital file execution make the whole file unreadable garbage before System. But such laser weakened to run well on music & movies.

    To resolve the installation of MS Office thet you just copy all the content of the disc to your HARD drive & then try to install. If the problem persists copy the .exe to install a USB key, the other car that can be read. Then replace the HARD disk by the corrupt.

    Number 2: (Associated virus infection) Your system might be infected severely by code viral insertion of viruses. While any execution of .exe file is impossible on the system, CD/DVD and HARD disk USB storage etc & they won't take their appropriate icons. Basically, he attacks the windows installer component & ban the user to install/play no matter what .exe file that require the help of Win Setup. So in this case change media with a new will not solve the problem. Except for the removal of the virus or system shape. So, you can use free Malwarebytes to scan.

    You can use eset online scanner , scan side by side with

    Microsoft® Windows® malicious software removal tool.

    On the last day of your Windows install 4.5 at the bottom of the link that might help too:

    Windows install 4.5 for 32-bit Windows XP

    Also will help restore registry associated with .exe.

    Conclusion: I'm going to, I said that the title of the thread is not quite right, as you cannot read data from a particular MS Office installation media. But this is not the case with any medium of data disc or installation. At least until your DVD drive so were unable to read all files on the disc, then it might be a pure hardware problem. But as you can see all the files except the .exe files, then there is an uncertain probability of hardware problem.

    Now, you do the analysis & tell me is happening with any media/.exe to install file. Who here has solved your problem

    Ask for additional assistance if necessary.
