• CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

  Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
  Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
  while others are doing so correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
  could help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
  issue.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
  tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
  the reader.

• X 300 and X 301 laptop DVD-ROM is the same?

  That is my question. And if they are it possible to set the DVD-ROM X 300 laptop for X 301?

  Advance Thanx ina!

  Nikola

  Hi, johnnykola

  I did some research on the Lenovo Web site and found these two documents: X 300 and X 301 spare parts for the system. According to these documents, the optical drive for both systems is exactly the same. So, in theory, you should be able to put one inside the other. However, I've never tried, nor have I heard of someone else doing one, so just know that it may not work for reasons unknown.

  It will be useful,

• New CS6 disk will not read the DVD ROM

  I got CS6 on my laptop when I had WIN Vista, ive recently went to WIN 7 and I try to re install CS6, but now my dvd rom wont read any of the 3 discs of CS6. Ive tried a music disk and it reads that I see any scratches on any of the 3-disc accompanying the CS6.

  I really don't think it's disks that play to the top, when I installed first CS6 they went from the cover to the right dvdrom in the covers.  No errors come at all. I put the disc, the computer thinks for a few seconds then nothing.

  Any ideas?

  Have you tried to read what's on the disc to see if you can find the files that start the installation process?

  Rather than using disks is to download the trial version and use, serial number you havce records to activate.  Here are some links for downloading...

• Reading CD/DVD and written Publisher details that problems detected by car is not able to burn (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202J) he can read, but he can't write DVDs/CDs

  ,
  My name is shabani, I have a CD/DVD writer is to say Samsung (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH - S202J) it can play DVDs/CDs but stops when burned in any burning software. The drivers are 'ok' and is there something that can be done?

  Hello SanjuSS,

  If this still happens after two distinct formats, then you may very well be hardware problems here.

  When burn us a CD/DVD, we use a separate component that reads.

  There are diagnoses of material that accompanies this disc and can we run them.

  It would be wise to contact the manufacturer at this time.

• DVD rom optical drive [Slot in]-problem

  The drive used on several occasions to stop working, in this sense, by pressing the eject button would not work...

  Previous two times that happened, it starts automatically after a few reboots or...

  But this time its not working still do not... Can't insert any CD/DVD nor fact that no indication comes when I press the eject button [the low noise or light or slight vibration can't]

  But, when I right click on the drive in say n computer Eject, the light works... It is the occurrence of the thing.

  Can U please tell me what I need to do... I have the warranty until 2011.

  Help me please you know how I go about it

  Looks like a malfunction of the equipment.

  I'm sure you must bring it to the service.

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s will not read the cd rom cd-rom dvd

  OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
  This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
  Can anyone help?
  Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
  Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

  Hi Robert,.

  Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

  I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

  Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.

  Kind regards

• CD/DVD-ROM for reading CD / DVD RAM only...

  I reinstalled Windows XP due to problems with my system works only with Win7.  I did a clean install.  Windows XP installed a generic driver from microsoft CD/DVD RAM.  For this reason, I am not able to access the DVD ROM discs, no discs as CD ROM and DVD RAM disks.  I know that there is a way to change things so the system sees that I have a DVD ROM and not only a DVD RAM.  It's just think WinXP that my readers are only DVD RAM drives work very well.  They work perfectly with CD and CDR/RW and will work with a store bought DVD.  I just can't figure how to change the generic Microsoft for DVD RAM DVD ROM driver  I had this problem before, I don't remember the fix. I deleted the registry entries, I deleted the readers, only for have reinstalled them with the original drivers.  I have 2 drives, both are LiteOn.  LiteOn has no drivers for the drive and says they are "plug and play".  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  I tried this also.  He said: there is nothing wrong with my CDROM or it says that my CDROM is not able to write DVD and install one that can.  Thank you.

  To access device manager > right click on the CD/DVD rom device and choose uninstall. Restart the computer and allow windows to detect the new hardware.

• Satellite A200 - 23P - mechanic of DVD - rom does not

  I'm sorry for my English in advance this topic! -Thank you

  I have a very big problem with my engraver of DVD (RM).
  I bought SAT A200 - 23P three weeks ago.
  The Win VISTA operating system has been installed. DVD - rom worked well.

  If I have installed Win XP to the second partition on my HARD drive (to install the disk with driver for sata drive in nlite) and installed all the drivers and utilities for Toshiba laptop, I found that my DVD-rom is not working while I press eject button.

  Mechanic of DVD is not responding to eject in XP and not even in the BIOS!
  It is interesting, mechanic DVD is the detection in BIOS, detects in XP, XP operating system votes - mechanic to the DVD works properly - its fable.

  However, if I have installed XP on the second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
  I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
  I now have XP only, even if Vista is on the first partition - I didn't delete it.

  Do you think that the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
  I think that, given that the DVD-rom does not in the BIOS - HW error.

  But is very strange, if I install XP from mechanic to the DVD and then close is, DVD - rom does not...:)

  If I manually open and insert the CD, the DVD does not (diode led no blink, just if I turn off the computer, led blinked once).

  PLS help me someone-

  Thank you!

  Hi Michal

  Your question is very strange, I mean the number of CD/DVD drive

  The fact is that the readers of CD/DVD eject function functions should any operating system has been installed on your laptop. It has nothing to do with your software on the HARD drive.

  So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not XP preinstalled OS?  :|

  My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a bad connection between the laptop and the drive. However the problem could be related to the hardware problem too

  As you see it s not easy to say what's wrong exactly, we can only speculate.

  Now some details about your installation of OS double.

  You cannot choose between Windows XP and Vista because Vista boot manager was obliterated during the installation of Win XP.
  This happened to me also. I installed Win XP on my Satellite and could not start Vista.

  The solution was simple; I used another original DVD of Vista (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. Vista has renewed the Boot Manager, and then I was able to boot Vista.

  Then I downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
  This tool can change the Vista Boot Manager settings. I've edited and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.

  That s it!
