Tecra A4 cannot read recovery disks

I am trying to rebuild my Tecra A4 software.
When I bought it in 2005, I did the recovery discs as recommended by using Sony CDR 700 MB disks.

Now the CD-DVD do not read them.
The discs are good, that I've explored them before (a while back), I can Explorer on another computer.

The Tecra open commercial discs (e.g., printer put in place of the disks, etc.), but does not open the discs that were burned itself (for example, whether previously on the Tecra or another computer). I tired the Sony recovery discs, I tried CD - RW Fuji disks, I tired Memorex, MB 100 CD - R discs.

None of them will work. Driver is up-to-date.
I cleaned the lens. Still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Otherwise, how can I get a reconstruction of the initial state of the software as new on the system?
I have an original XP disc that is generic to Microsoft.

However, I don't want to go this route because I'm pretty sure that Toshiba uses all sorts of drivers that are not available from MS, nor readily available on the net without having to pay someone for them.

> The Tecra open commercial discs (e.g., printer put in place of the disks, etc.), but does not open the discs that were burned self (for example, whether previously on the Tecra or another computer).

In this case, to all CD/DVD players, that I had the same problem, because not all readers are compatible with all the disks that are on the market
I think that is known to you

However, this problem could be related to a hardware malfunction since the reader of the s laptop has been used 5 years long, it s the s drive laser lens can not calibrate correctly because of the stress of use

It must be said that you can try to burn the recovery disk using another computer and then you could try to restore the operating system using the burned recovery disk.
Try a few CD - R TDK or Verbatim
I use TDK and I convinced m

Maybe it will work, if not, will need you another CD/DVD drive

    You have installed an application like Nero CD/DVD burning?

    Maybe an enforcement agent runs in the background and optical disc drive is permanent in the surveillance state. Restart your laptop, check the substantive activities and make sure that nothing can be responsible for this drive blocking.

    The magic of the scores could not create the second partition because the files on the HARD disk are not defragmented.

  • What recovery disk belongs to which laptop?

    Hello

    We have several laptops from Toshiba (Satellite A100, A200, U300, L300, Tecra M9) and several recovery disks. All recovery disks look alike (the only difference is a code starting with GMR400. How will I know the drive I have to use with a given mobile? Is it possible to tell one of the others? Or I can use any disc with any laptop?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello AMB

    Unfortunately I can't help you much about it because those numbers don't mean a lot to me. Also, I believe that no one here can help you with this stuff. What you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and I think they can help you.

    The fact is that you cannot use any disc with any model of Toshiba laptop. Saved on the recovery disk recovery image is created for certain model only and recovery image contains specific drivers for the specific model laptop (depends on the hardware platform).

    Bye and good luck!

    Hello Neptune,

    I really apologize for the mistake that I have in my previous post. I know not what has gone wrong, while displaying the answer and I've provided the steps for Windows 8 instead of Windows 7. The steps provided are valid to perform these steps were for Windows 8 therefore you could perform these steps. Shortcut keys that I proposed are frequently used in Windows 8. I think that while preparing the answer for you, I may work on a another thread with Windows 8 and confused and you provided the steps in Windows 8.

    You've been through the suggestion provided by JimMinor responded on 16 September 2011 in the tread mentioned in my previous post.

    As you mentioned that after uninstalling the device you can't reinstall as you are not able to see it in Device Manager. To view it again please restart your computer and everything will be back. I have reproduced the same thing on my computer troubleshooting and after restarting the computer, everything seems to be back.

    However, for troubleshooting below you can follow the steps in the following article and see if it helps.
