• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck

• Satellite M70-165: unit of CD/DVD can't read data DVDs - "not possible access to D:.

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite M70-165 equipped of a DVD unit MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S (5.1.2535.0 driver version).
  After years of 1 and a half with no problems, a few days ago, I restore the operating system (Windows XP Home) through the Toshiba restart DVD.

  Since then, the CD/DVD unit can read DVD audio, CD, or movies, but when I open a DVD (DVD software) data it is said that "it is not possible to access to the D:\." and something like "does not correct" (I use an Italian version of Win XP so I have to
  translate the messages in English).

  All drivrs are regularly installed and there should, in theory, work very well.

  I am a user of entry level, and I don't really know what to do. I attended every single forum on the issue for the past few days, but nobody does
  could help me.

  I would be extremely grateful if someone could help.

  Thanks in advance!

• 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

• Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394?

  Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394? Where the best place to buy it and what I should go for? How will this affect my laptop? It will void the warranty at all?

  Sorry for so many questions

  Hello

  First of all it s worth it to upgrade the memory for portable computers. The increases in performance and the operating system should work better and faster.
  Well, I checked a few websites, and it seems that it is possible to upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo)

  As far as I know the laptop came with a 512 MB module. In this case, the second Bank is empty. The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit. If you want to upgrade the memory to remove the slot cover down and carefully insert the module. I think you'll find instruction how to handle the upgrade memory in the user manual.

  In addition, you can order the compatible modules form the Toshiba service partner. In this case, you will be sure that you have taken in charge to 100% and compatible modules.

• Satellite M70 - 394 - what HARD drive I can install?

  I have a Satellite M70-394 (PSM70E) that I would like to upgrade the hard drive.

  Can you tell me what hard drive I'm able to install, such as what type of interface?
  Do you also know if I can run windows 7?
  and can you tell me if I installed a larger hard drive and a new operating system will be my original toshiba product recovery disk work.
  then where in my drive hard is my factory set windows xp so I can remove and install the new operating system

  Hello

  I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
  If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

  Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

  With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

• HP CDDVDW TS - T633P SCSI CdRom - cannot read SOME DVD

  PC is a Touchsmart 600-1000 t, Windows 7

  DVD Player cannot read some DVD.  Completed all the 8 steps in "Drive cannot read disks (Windows 7)" on the HP site.  A ran HP "Hardware Diagnostic Tools" (linear CD search Test"and it passes on some DVDs and returns"No Media"on the other.)  Very old CD "Office for WIndows 95" and a few new DVDs (HP Officejet 6500 has more) past, but more brand new DVD and DVD written on the same computer is not detected.   Those who lack of DVD also will not autorun on my PC.  These same DVD which failed on my PC is read fine on my old Windows XP laptop.

  Strongly suspect one slightly out of the drive of alignment that must be replaced.  Ideas before ordering a replacement?

  Hello

  Check the automatic run settings in the control panel. Ensure that the measures to be taken when optical media are inserted represent the media format type that you create.  You can check the box at the top to use AutoPlay for all media types, then select the action for the particular media format.  Be sure to save the changes.

  You can also consider using Imgburn to read and write to check some media to see if you actually have some hardware issues. ImgBurn will also appear to what types of media are acceptable for the optical drive.

  It is also possible that the media you use is of a lower quality.  I prefer the Verbatim. It cost more but I've never had a problem with Verbatim.

  If your PC is under warranty then contact HP support. HP support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.

  I bought windows 7 in a store, but my windows xp cannot read the dvd. can I download 7 and use the product key, rather than buy it again? I bought an old compaq desktop computer, and I want to update.

  It's probably too late because you have unsealed the package, but as you have relatively minor glitch of the material do not have a DVD player, did you use the (free) Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine whether your computer hardware is capable of running Windows 7?

• Satellite Pro M70 does not read the DVD of some manufacturers

  Recently, my Satellite Pro M70 stopped reading some DVDs, specifically verbatim...
  When I put in, it is just to see any disk. If I put the same disk into any other computer, even my friends Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 - than mine, even it reads normally.

  Any ideas?

  WEIRD laser could be at fault, or it is maybe dirty. Try to clean the lens with a Microfiber cloth.

  I tried to reinstall and I tried everything. It does not work.

  I Mat * a UJ - 850 s drive in Toshiba Satellite A300-17N on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

  Thanks for the help!

  Check if the firmware update is available to take you on the European driver Toshiba page.
  If there is no update the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.

  Try to also remove the filters above and below the Windows registry:

• Carpet * a UJ-830 cannot read/write DVDs on Equium L10

  Hi, I have a laptop Equium L10. My DVD RAM mast * a UJ 830 cannot read/write to DVD discs. But it can read and write CDs.
  I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

  This problem appears since day one?

  I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
  What burning software do you use?
  For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

• Satellite L550-10N - cannot read CD

  My laptop can read DVD-ROM, but cannot read the CD.

  When I try to insert a CD, it runs, but does not show anything and if I click on it, they say, there is no cd insert an and try again.

  If you do a search of the forum, you can find the number of threads on your problem. Have you tried to remove the upper/lower case filters to the registry? Try to use high quality media like Word to Word and Tdk, clean with a lens cleaning disc. It's typical responses to your problem. If it does not help, it may be hardware issue. By the way, have you tried to reset to factory settings?
