• My CD/DVD drive no longer works after installing an update for Roxio Burn, (it was working perfectly until after the update).

  Hi, my CD/DVD drive has stopped working after I installed an update for Roxio Burn. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, updating all windows and my device driver programs, but I just comes up with one, "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ', warning. The DVD/CD player that I use is called TSST corp DVD +-RW TS - H653G

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of them.
  Selves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this problem was caused by
  These however is a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

  Definitel check with the help of Roxio and their forums - you may need to uninstall Roxio to see if this
  allows the reader to work (not re - install until the issue is resolved).

• After the update of Windows CD/DVD drive does not work

  After windows automatically updated on my windows system 8, my CD/DVD drive no longer recognized discs. It will rotate when you close the disc drive as if he tried to recognize and initialize the disc, but then it will do nothing. When you go in my computer it doesn't even say that there is a hard drive available.

  In device manager has a yellow triangle with a '!' in the middle on the DVD/CD drive. When I click on drive properties and check the updates on the disk, it indicates that the drivers are up to date. Drive is MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8C0.
  Y at - it a fix for this problem? For some reason my system does not restore automatically save it before the update or the other so I can not on a point system. Help, please.

  Try to remove the GEARAspiWDM entry.

  To remove the GEARAspiWDM entry double-click UpperFilters and, under value data, delete GEARAspiWDM > OK

  Create a system restore point beforehand and restart the computer after.

  However, if you have an application that uses the GEARAspiWDM, like iTunes, just install the latest version of hardware drivers (4.020.5) and that no changes to the registry:

  Updated speed drivers should also correct the mistake.

• Portege R500 - CD/DVD drive no longer works

  Does anyone found a resolution to this?

  Like David, my DVD Multidrive on my R500 abruptly arrested recently - I can open/close the player, but he does not appear in Windows Explorer as a disk is valid. Do not think that I have nothing installed on the machine.

  Interestingly, I never really use the DVD player. Indeed, because of all the * heat * questions, I used to "Power Off" of the device, via the DVD icon in the system tray (i.e. option enabled me to Power on / off the unit). So while the power was OFF, it's cold the machine, and so the fan was rarely on.

  Now that my computer no longer recognizes the drive, this icon it simply shows that disabled, no possibility to the power on/off switch, and this noisy fan is almost always on. In addition, because it seems that the machine tries to recognize the drive subject time at startup, all re-start, reboot the machine now takes a few minutes to start...

  For the optical drive firmware update help? Or is there some other fix?

  Hello

  > but my Portege R500 CD/DVD drive has stopped working the next day, I had attached an external CD - RW drive for me to burn discs. Maybe it did disable my built-in drive?
  This could be the key;
  Try to access the Device Manager and remove the CD/DVD player listed and all USB host controllers and USB root hub.

  Again, restart the laptop.
  After new check restart if the CD/DVD drive has been recognized again.

• DVD drive no longer works and disappears from MS explore

  New "TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C ATA Device" Samsung dvd player is visible in Windows Explorer after starting the machine.  He can see an audio CD.  However, when a DVD is inserted it reads very slowly, then stops and the drive is no longer visible in Windows Explorer.

  I updated the firmware with a utility Samsung called Firmware Samsung ODD liveupdate, but this made no difference.

  Hello

  For a new disk that should really be fixed/replaced under warranty.

  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.

• DVD drive no longer works on the Satellite X 200

  Hello

  Although my laptop X 200-191 is just 3 weeks, this afternoon the DVD player suddenly stopped working. When I insert a dvd, the drive makes sounds like it will play the DVD, then stops and nothing more happens. When I click on the DVD drive in 'my computer' section, the Player opens and asks you a DVD... It will not play music cd's.

  I just installed a new (HD) driver for the DVD drive on the toshiba site, which should be compatible. I also tried to reinstall the previous driver, but the problem persists. I can't use the CD recovery either, for the reader DVD does not have to start the recovery cd...

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance,

• DVD drive no longer works after the installation of PowerISO

  I recently installed PowerISO and he took my physical DVD drive so I can't use it. The drive does not appear in Windows Explorer. The drive appears in the parameters of the material, but with the note that the driver has been disabled, and another driver provides functionality. There are questions on the net on this WRT to PowerISO (wish I had seen these before that I loaded it) but no real and tangible solutions. I tried to uninstall the device, reload the drivers and even bought a new DVD player and installed it but it happens with the same question. None of em fixed work. I did a complete refresh of BIOS and CMOS, nothing helps. Readers do not appear in the BIOS settings but show (with numbers) to the setting of the material. I also removed PowerISO, which did nothing. Then I re-installed and changed the setting Virtual Drive 'None' in thinking that this was taking on my physical drives. Nothing. So I still once uninstalled.

  In addition, if the problem persists, can you check the following registry key? :

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  To the registry for this key, in the right window, in the world is here, under 'Name', a LowerFilters and UpperFilters value?

  If so, for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, value which is listed under "data"?

  There is most likely a bad entry in one of these values that would have made the installation or uninstallation of software.

• Question: How can I format Satellite A10 PSA10C - CD/DVD drive does not work

  Question: How can I format my laptop?

  The problem is that my CD-ROM does not work or it cannot read the CD.
  Help me guys and btw, is possible to format using USB Flash Disk?

  TNX in advance

  Model: PSA10C-035WM

  As much as I know with USB Flash Disk won't work.

  I really wonder why you don't buy replacement ODD. Compatible readers for this model of laptop old are more expensive. Replacement is very easy and you can do it alone.

  Wait a minute: you can remove the laptop HARD drive and connect to other PC / laptop as external one. If you can do what you want.

Now he stopped to read the CD/DVD, and the entire computer freezes. Is it better to consider a repair shop or buy a new drive?

  Hello

  Generally, if the drive is dead only the drive replacement will solve the problems. I don t think that it is possible to repair the disk.
  But nevertheless, you must contact the service because there you can control compatible player. The problem is that not all readers are compatible with the device.
  The ASP from Toshiba have detailed information about the compatibility of the device and you can be sure that you will get a good player at 100%.

  For some reason any my cd/dvd burner will not blank discs write. It worked very well recently, but seems to have stopped.

• After BIOS update DVD drive no longer works

  I reinstall old bios (2.40) with winphlash (phoenix bios) and my DVD-MATHISITA read or burn DVDs new!

  Conclusion: If you have any problem with DVD-ROM to reinstall your old bios.

  Hello

  Well, it of strange but thanks for the information. It could be very useful for other users.
  By the way; on the Toshiba driver page, you will find the update of the firmware.
  Maybe after the upgrade of the BIOS you should make the reader to update firmware.
  But as far as I know that you can not do one reveres firmware. After the new installation of the firmware, you will not be able to install an older version.

  So in my opinion you shouldn't do any upgrade now. If you drive works so don t change anything ;)
