  Hello

  Yes, I think that it is possible, because the L10-189 has a DVD Super Multi drive installed.
  Go to a service partner, they can build in the player for you. Otherwise, you will lose your warranty.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-193: unable to write a DVD 8.5 G

  Hello

  I tried to burn a DVD Double Layer (8.5 G) with Disc Creator software, but unfortunately, it doesn't work and I don't know why.
  I tried with another software, but the problem is the same.
  The combustion starts and finishes correctly, but after that, when I try to read the DVD, this one is empty or not readable.

  DVD I used: Verbatim 8 x DVD + R Double layer
  Various forums indicate that there may be caused by the firmware of the DVD? What is your diagnosis?
  I hope that you will be able to give me a solution for this problem.

  Best regards.

  Below the information on my laptop.

  Hello

  Can you please explain what you mean it doesn t work? You get an error message or what is exactly happening?

  Have you tried different types of DVD blank? I always use DVD-R and not DVD + are so you should try it with a DVD-R. You should buy the disc Verbatim or TDK. I have only good experience with these manufacturers.

  Have you tried with Nero? I always use this burning program and you must ensure that you use the latest version you can find on the site of the factory.

• Satellite U205 - DVD Player problems

  I bought a Satellite U205-S5057 year last with Vista on it. For the first month, all video files burn very well. After that, I downloaded all kinds of codecs and trial versions of DVD burning software just got keep burning DVDs.

  After all downloads, of course, they began to come into conflict. I ran a system recovery and hoped that it would be clean all conflicts. I put some videos on a CD - rw and transferred to my book burning. When I clicked on the D: / he said "D: / no request." Then I re-installed Realplayer on the internet and now it burns in Realplayer 1 out of every 10 tent or if.

  Anyone know why I have so many problems with my CD/DVD drive? In addition, he always says D: / is a DVD player, even when I put a CD. Is this good?

  Have you tried to remove the top and bottom of the registry entry filters?
  Not? OK, try this:

  First remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
  Then, completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Finally, restart the computer, and restart the system.
  The Windows operating system should recognize the drive and it needs to be reinstalled again.

• Unable to write DVD/CD-RW Pavilion zd7000 drive

  HP Pavilion zd7058CL laptop

  Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit

  Lead questioning = HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4241N

  Error Msg = you need to maybe install a CD/DVD burner

  Hello

  Just installed Windows XP on a brothers and sisters more older HP Pavilion & everything seems to work well, except that I'm unable to copy files to a CD.  Am able to play CDs (loading the OS a & as capable of reading DVDs).

  Receiving error during the copy of Windows messages: there was an error in the writing process.  The disc you have attempted to write may no longer be usable.

  Microsoft Fixit said: the selected drive is not able to write, if you have multiple CD/DVD drivers try to use another, otherwise you may need to install a CD/DVD burner.

  I downloaded the HP diagnostic utility & everything checked good - no errors.  But then it only checked in the CD/DVD drive for function read (not write).  Think I got all the good free codecs installed - not not ready to pay for on a laptop nVidia codecs that old.  This PC has bounced around my family of sisters for a while & then the original disks are lost.   I used a Windows reinstallation disk & label COST to reinstall the OS.

  Something maybe just physically wrong with the drive & it is unable to write.  Withdrawing & reinstall using the player?  Clean it up?

  Thanks for any help,

  LaserJet

  I hope that it will work, or you can probably pick up a DVD burner used, but tested and functional for your model on eBay for cheap.

• Satellite Pro M30: Cannot write - DVD SD-R6112

  I have a M30 Satellite with a Player Pro combined DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD. The drive is marked as "DVD-R/RW. It will play the DVD without problem, but it will not recognize any blank DVD - RW disc. I've used Nero6 and RecordNow Delux.

  The drive is incorrectly marked? If anyone has had problems similar and, more important still, to find a solution?

  Hi Geoff,

  Your device works properly if you use DVD-R discs? I tried mine using a DVD - RW once and it would not accept the disk until I had formatted (using NERO).
  Using DVD - R blanks I had no problem at all.

• Satellite U205-S5002: cannot retrieve the Express Media Player after upgrading the HARD drive

  So I bought just a new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 I love it. One of the great features that interest me was the Express Media Player feature.

  My first step was to upgrade the hard disk and 160 GB and 2 GB ram.
  I placed the disk and ram in my old laptop and sold it.

  Before that I did, I made a copy ghosts and ghost of the hard drive to the new drive. Well come to find out...

  Toshiba is not provided with this software preinstalled, so I followed the instructions to burn my recovery disk Express Media Player and the boot on the new disk.
  So this is where the saga begins...

  After 15-20 seconds, I get a soothing blue screen (NOT of blue BSOD you mind) who says:

  /!\
  An error occurred during the recovery of "Express Media Player".
  -------------------------------------------------------
  Please pick up the image again from the beginning.
  Press any key to exit.

  It is typed exactly as it is on the screen. So, I see some other forums saying: you must have the free space of the disk so I resize the partition that allows 200 MB of space. Always the same... then try 2 GB even... then the 50 GB, same problem...

  OK, so obviously not a question of space. I read while I might need to erase the drive... so I delete the partition, this same error... then I run the recovery disk and tell him to wipe the drive, wait 1 1/2 hour, it ends. No dice! So I decide... ok... Well lets try another disk... I have restored my ghost image... and burned the image again... same question... so I decide to the recovery disk and I'll try to reinstall windows in the factory and make a record...

  Well, it does not work as well as you think... the image is incomplete... windows works fine... but the c:\Toshiba\ExpressMediaPlayer folder is empty!

  I'm happy that I have ghosts my original directory. But I decide allows to Express Media Player a shot more now that I have restored to factory... always the same error... I then decide a trial more... I'll erase drive 1.5 hours, I'll restore from toshiba dvd provided but leaving plenty of space at the end 2 GB (I have a lot about people who tell you to base just around 200 MB)

  5 hours later... moment of truth... Well Yes you guessed it... I don't know anything else to try... I have a bad image?
  You need one that I can download what has worked for them for sure? Or have - I have completely found myself by replacing the HDD with after market and which is originally a kind of compatibility issue?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It s a great story!
  I put t know how to start so maybe first some info on the Express media player.

  As you said, and has already proposed the Express media player has been preinstalled on the second partition.
  If you want to install this media Express on the HARD disk drive, 150-200 MB of free space must be available. This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get these free space on the HARD disk, 3 third-party products should be used as for example the Partitions Magic 8!

  I'm not going to write a story how to recover the Express media player because Toshiba has already created useful documents, which described complete installation!
  I found these documents in the knowledge base of computer Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=TIC2

  Hello

  What kind of DVD that you use to create a Toshiba Recovery disk? I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. A friend tried DVD + R and he couldn t create a recovery disk. After he tried DVD-R and everything was fine but I do not know why this happened.
  So please try other discs.

  Also, check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

• Satellite P30: it does not recognize DVD discs properly

  Hello I have a Satellite P30, can't read the DVD or CD when I try to open the DVD or CD the Explorer session seems to hang for a while and then comes with a screen reader DVD-RAM with the option on the left to write files to a CD. I installed the latest drivers and BIOS for my laptop.

  I am at a loss, everything was working fine until recently the does'nt PC seem to recognize I have a cd or drive normalDVD drive it just see the of it as a DVD RAM drive.

  When I put a dvd in side light flashes orange and the system hangs just for awhile. I sometimes get an IO error when trying to read from a cd. What I put in it thinks I want to write files

  HI Matt,

  I suggest that you check in Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your hard drive. In any case, it may be helpful to remove the device from Device Manager and then restart for the drive is recognized again as a new installation.

  Kind regards

• Cannot use the settings of brightness screen on Satellite U205

  Hello

  I have a Satellite U205-S5002, and the screen is still too dark to see. There is no way to make it more bright, and even when I press [FN] + [F7] key, it is not brighten up.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Maybe the brightness of the display has already been set at max!

  Are you sure that there is no hardware malfunction?
  For example in case of malfunction the brightness of the screen FL inverter breaks down.

  You see no difference in brightness between the screen and the Toshiba startup splash screen after logging in windows?

  About you model number; It seems that this Satellite A205 unit was designed for the American market.
  All Toshiba drivers and tools need to be downloaded from the Toshiba page we!

  If the faulty software causes this display problem, I would recommend refreshing drivers and tools.

• Satellite U205 - FN key does not work

  Hi all
  My FN button works for F5, F10, and F11

  Except that they are stuck and now I can't increase the brightness and it s too dull :/

  Toshiba Satellite U205-s5034
  Windows XP

  For such problems, you must offer more useful information.
  It is very important to know if this WXP is your own installation and have you installed all necessary drivers, tools and utilities available on the Toshiba support page.

  You have the American mobile phone model and you can find all the stuff on http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp?nav=Download

  Before you start to install tools specific to Toshiba and utilities at all first you must install Toshiba common modules. It is a fundamental tool for all utilities.

  Sorry, but at this stage I can't say more because that I n t know exactly what you do.

  Please offers more details and we can continue our discussion.
