Tecra S1: CD-ROM/dvd-rom is now read-only

• CD - RW formatted "like flash drive" is now read-only?

  I swear it never happened to me before.

  He asked if I wanted to format "as a flash drive" or "for CD or DVD drive" and I chose "flash player" because I want to write for her, etc.
  After a long process of formatting (very long), the player is now read-ONLY.  I can not even put a single file I have on it (or even in the folder "files to be burned to CD"?) who started the whole process.
  It is a CD - RW disc.  (at least it was first)
  In the past, I've just dragged & dropped and voila!
  What should I do?
  Many thanks in advance,
  -Paula in Texas

  Never mind.  He worked at the second attempt.

  I swear to you that I did exactly the same thing the second time, except with the read more & audit helps, and it seemed that I had the same result.
  Thank you for reading my question and being about to meet.

• Tecra A8 - Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-problem reading 841S

  I have Tecra A8-143 (PTA843E) Lap, WXP Pro SP2 original. Later, I installed SP3 and the problem with the topic. Finally the time Mat * one impossible reed VERBATIM DVD - R (4, 7 GB) discs, even those who got burned in 'home' with Nero (or record now, I'm not sure), although reed he earlier without problems.

  In addition, the reader can Reed DVD-R and Memorex CD - R Verbatim discs. In the meantime I have installed and uninstalled several programs and we hope that the point is in the configuration, but I afraid that SP3 is "fatal error" and I cannot flee from resettlement.

  It is strange to me that this driver for DVD - RAM is Microsoft. can I install Mat * original drivers? My experience is humble and I'll be very grateful for help.

  Thanks in advance.

  As noted in the previous announcement the CD/DVD drive is still controlled by Microsoft Windows driver!
  There is no other pilot who could control the STRANGE

  Back to your question;
  There are two reasons why your CD/DVD drive does not read the disc;
  First the disc would be insufficiently supported or the s drive laser lens cannot handle the disc to the stress matrix laser lens could also not be clean
  You could clean the lens with a cotton tip and alcohol
  In my case it helped

• My computer is now read-only with my CD, why?

  When I put the CD in my computer for some reason, they are read-only.

  I have no idea how this started.  Sometimes strange before, during a few months at random when I put a CD in a command prompt would not pop up and I had to go in my computer, but it's the only other problem I've had in this area.

  The only other thing weird I can think is that I had my computer for a month or two because my power supply bit the dust.  My computer was dead in the world until about 5 days ago.  When I turned it back (with a new power cord) I started having all sorts of problems.  Windows updates keep invites me each day to day, Media Player tells me something to lose the music, since a few days it has been once my music, this problem with CDs and other things that I don't remember right now.

  I have not tried to fix it yet because I don't know much about computers and I would rather add to the problem.

  Should I sync them?

• CD/DVD-Rom will not read the CD

  I just upgraded from vista to windows 7 Home premium database on my laptop and now my CD-DVD-Rom will not read any CD I put in the drive. He reads that DVD very well so I'm up for a loop now. My drivers are all far better that I can find. I know it's a CD-DVD-Rom, because before I updated I had no problem reading CDs and DVDs. This is a problem because all my anti-virus and other programs are all on CD. I don't know how to fix this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  -Thank you

  Thanks for the post with suggestions. I have tried it all and still had the same problem. I called Dell and got the laptop computer and an hour with a tech restarted my computer and try to fix it, they decided that something in the upgrade process damaged my CDRom and they sent me a new to replace my current one. I'll get it Tuesday and weather post or not, that is the question. Just in case where there are other people out there who might have the same problem.

  -Thank you again for your help

• Satellite L750-11W - DVD rom doesn't read any DVD

  The problem is very annoying, that the dvd rom is not reading my dvd;

  I tried to install a game on a dvd but it doen't want to read it, I have, but another dvd (different game) and it read; the two DVD works on other laptops (I checked)

  DVDs are not made by me, they are purchased in the store

  I found your other son that you posted some time there is failure of CD/DVD drive.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=72663

  My idea was to clean the laser lens, but has already been suggested in other threads as well.

  In my opinion, there is not much to do sometimes firmware could be updated to improve the compatibility between the different discs, but this is possible only in case these packages would be available.
  I checked the page of the Toshiba UE driver and firmware update is not available for the series L750.
  So I guess that your problem is related to the WEIRD malfunction.

• CDDVD rom will not read the dvd rom or DVD

  my cd/dvdwrighter reads only cd rom not my dvd rom or DVD

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

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

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

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  Several good info here:

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

• Tecra M5: DVD player does not read these mini DVD

  I have canon handycam dvd and mini dvd works on it. A month back I recorded the movie and photos on mini dvd with handycam and ran mini dvd on my tecra M5 player, it worked very well.

  All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

  Any suggestions?
  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

• Tecra S1 - pilot and DVD issues

  Hello

  I recently bought this laptop which had a few software bugs from hangover of the previous user. He advised the DVD player was not working, but at the beginning it worked for me very well so I reinstalled windows to have a fresh start. As a reasonably inexperienced computer person I did not save the drivers so once I installed windows, I realized that I could not even on the net with the tecra install the drivers then I tried to burn the disk, but found the dvd player would not read (the dvd player has a yellow light that don't come out and when I put any disk in) (, I hear it running but it does not read it?) My next option was to attempt a flash drive with the top drivers but the tecra does not recognize either.

  I realize that I have many problems, but if someone could give me at least some advice it would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  Len

  Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
  When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  This utility can remove the filters for you:
