• Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

  Laptop is only a few months old.
  Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
  Tried Windows Update - does not help.
  Tried registry fix - does not help.

  Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
  The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

  Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Very strange what s
  Try this:

  Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
  If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

  You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

  Good luck my friend

• Satellite A200 27z does not recognize DVD drive

  Hello

  Ive got the computer laptop toshiba Satellite A200 27z & a while a go it wouldn't turn on at all, I took it to a computer repair shop & they seemed to solve the problem, except that they delete all the "stuff" that comes with the laptop.

  On the most part, he always does things I want to do. But recently I went to play a dvd in there & it won't work, even if it does not play DVD if theyre sent to me by msn etc.

  Normally, when I put a dvd, toshiba dvd player would automatically right away, but now he used. When I go to manually open the dvd player toshiba a message just ups saying:

  * the specific drive is not found. Check the settings by going to settings > stock settings > source. or otherwise check that the disc has been correctly connected to the levels

  Ive been in the "action settings", but the source area is blocked (do not type anything in it). I don't know much about computers and so do not know how to check if the drive is properly connected.

  It will not also recognize when I put a cd that he either, as normally if I put a cd in and then itunes would automatically load upward, now itunes will not appear if a cd is in the laptop & I can't find it anywhere.

  can help someone, I have no idea about these things!

  I had this problem a few months ago, I thought that I should send it to be repaired but Windows Mr Fixit made and my dvd player is running again

• Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
  Does anyone no what I can do?
  Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

  Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
  If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

  Please provide more info. You see error messages?

• Satellite L40 - 15G - WiFi does not work - cannot activate usign FN + F8

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite L40 - 15 G with windows 7 32 bit and my wireless is not working, the pilot is OK
  I do FN + F8 and I can't active wireless :(

  What should I do more?

  Hello

  The Fn + F8 isn't really essential to use the WiFi network. Generally, the WiFi network should be enabled by default.
  So even if the Fn + F8 does not work, the WiFi network must be enabled.
  You see the local network card in Device Manager? Is it correctly recognized?

  Where he is, follow these steps:
  Go to the control panel (switch to the large or small icon view)-> network & sharing Center-> left column manage wireless networks
  Add here new WLan and configure it by using the right SSID, encryption and password encryption.

• Windows 8 does not recognize DVD drive

  Hello world. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8 Pro, my laptop HP Pavilion 1287la g4, 64-bit. I used a Windows 8 Pro DVD to upgrade, everything was going well after the upgrade as fully recognized pilots, tool integration, and all my personal files were saved.

  The only problem I found is that after the upgrade of the DVD drive is not recognized. It actually isn't even in the devices. I contacted Hp and they were able to help me make the drive detectable, but now I see that the icon of the DVD in the devices shows a yellow warning, which means that the driver of this material is not found or is corrupted. I did everything that I can to search for the driver, but still the BONE says it's updated with a generic driver. However, the reader does not always show upward. Please help with a better solution. I really like Windows 8 and I don't want to go back and upgrade to Windows 7 again. Thanks in advance.

  Try the following steps:

  1. run the command as administrator prompt. Type cmd in Windows 8 modern user interface and press HUMINT + shift + enter

  2 type following and say enter

  Reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" / f/v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

  3. reboot the system

• BIOS does not recognize my drive hard new Solid (SSD)

  My computer is a Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E.
  I want to replace the failed hard drive with an SSD of 128Gbytes.
  I think that the hard disk controller is unable to accommodate higher capacity, but how do I get at least the bios to see the drive at all?
  The bios is ver 1.9 released on 04/03/2005.
  Thank you

  For records, it works!
  In fact, bios doesn't seem to have something to do with it.
  To use with this portable ssd, first initialize and format the Solid State Drive (ssd) with windows disk management 7.
  Then install the ssd in the Satellite Pro A60 and run the two supplied with the machine Toshiba recovery disks to install windows xp.
  That works as well for the 64 GB and 128 GB ssd.

• Pavilion P6142p - Bios does not recognize the drives.

  I have a Pavilion P6142p that won't start.  I have reset the CMOS and get into the BIOS but no disks are recognized, even though I can feel/hear the rotation of the hard drive.  It is rather a motherboard problem or a low power problem.

  Thank you

  kuphaus,

  This is a classic symptom of failure on the boards of m2n78 - la . Your model is on the list.

• Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

  Hello

  I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
  Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
  would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
  A reboot cold was the only solution.
  I was told to replace the HD I did but the
  problem persisted with the new HD.

  I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
  At this point, the warranty period has increased.
  Frost started happening more regularly, and
  now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
  It starts and then try to boot from the network,
  because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

  At this point, I think I need a new system board.
  Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
  before?

  Thank you

• Satellite M60-155: drive does not recognize DVD

  The multidrive on my laptop does not recognize DVD-he just turns and clicks.

  It recognizes the CD tho. I've had this problem before, but did not pick up the CD player and it plays DVDs.
  I managed to solve this last time, but I do not remember how.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Don't you remember how you solved the problem? ?:|
  Hmm, very strange.
  However, I think that it s a problem of calibration of lens of the drive.
  The lens can not be calibrated properly and that's why the drive cannot read the media.

  Have you tried to remove the drive from the laptop? If this is not the case, try to remove it. Then start without the drive. Then shut off the unit. Reinstall the drive and start the laptop. The firmware should take over again and maybe the lens is calibrated in the right position.

  You can also try to clean the lens gently. But if the whole points will not help you may need to replace the drive

• Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

  My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
  I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

  At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
  This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

  I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

  The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
  The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
  Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thank you, Stu.

  Hello

  What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

  You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

  But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

• HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

  Hello

  HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

  I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

  I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

  Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

  Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

  You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

  Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.
