• Software installation of virtual CD/DVD drive?

  I can't be able to install a piece of software from the virtual CD/DVD drive.  I had set it to auto-detection, but in the VM of Windows 98 if I type D:\setup.exe which exists as E:\setup.exe actually (E is mapped to D :) I can't get the installer to launch.  What should I do?

• CD/DVD drive not recognized inside the virtual machine

  No matter what I do, I can't get my VM (XP) to recognize the CD/DVD drive. I am running version 2.0.6 of merger and under Mac OS X (10.5.8) on a MacBook Pro. I did a right click on the CD icon in the lower right corner of the computer virtual window, then select 'connect' CD/DVD - I see while the disc turns black (which indicates it's supposed to be connected). I launch Windows Explorer in my virtual machine, but I do not see the CD/DVD drive listed anywhere! Help, please. I have the VM settings to connect to the physical CD/DVD (DVD-R MATSHITA UJ-875) drive. Thanks in advance.

• My CD/DVD drive does not appear as a drive on your computer with other readers. All points of restoration before March 1 are gone. How can I fix it?

  I have windows vista Home premium OS on a Dell Inspiron 530.  Some time previously, autorun would not work, but I could open the program manually.  Who has also disappeared.  The drivers are later and Device Manager shows the drive works properly.

• Boot camp with external dvd drive

  How it is possible to install Windows 7 on my old MacBook Pro Mid 2009 using an external DVD drive?

  Because my SuperDrive drive is broken.

  Yes, there is a way, I remember that when I swapped my Superdrive for a disk hard while my old Macbook could not start Windows USB.

  you need vmware Fusion and refined installed

  It's a little tricky because not apple USB drives do not work when booting the operating system, but it works if you read carefully. basically the process starts as usual, put the DVD in the DVD USB drive and start to Boot Camp, let to create the BootCamp partition, instead of restarting create a VM with the mapping of physical disk, begin the installation, restart Windows and finish using DVD USB.

  Here is the guide, a bit outdated but might help. Be sure just to what disk you format in the virtual machine, because you are working with the physical disk where you have installed OS X:

• Satellite L40 - CD/DVD drive does not end to close after burning

  Hello

  My TOSHIBA SATELLITE L40 works correctly under VISTA HOME PREMIUM. This is the first time that I realize that the CD/DVD driver is unable to complete a session of engraving using NERO8, NERO9, ASHAMPO TSHIBA DISC CREATOR or in Windows mode. The burn starts fine from 0% to 100% where it remains for a long time. Where can be the problem come from? Is the driver broken only for burning?

  It correctly reads all CDs and DVDs once loaded.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think that this problem can be caused by using fully compatible diskettes
  I had many problems with different CD or DVD from different manufacturers.
  I tested several brands and finally I had a good experience with TDK discs Verbatim R my disk manages this disc better than others

  Perhaps, you should also test different drives from different manufacturers.

• Satellite L305-S5919 - Question about CD/DVD drive acoustic silencer

  Anyone know if it is possible to make the default CD/DVD Drive Acoustic silencer silent mode whenever I put a disc in the drive?

  Now, the icon appears in the taskbar and it takes only a few clicks, but it would be nice if I could just leave all the time. My version of the acoustic silencer is 32-bit, Windows Vista and Satellite L305-S5919 2.02.03.

  Appreciate any suggestions.

  Hi pdun459,.

  You must read and inform you on acoustic silencers ;)

  If you open the program, you will see the following:

• DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

  I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
  It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
  The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
  I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

  I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

  Any ideas how I can fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

  Optical disc drive is listed correctly in the Device Manager?

• Satellite Pro A100 - CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  Can Hi anyone tell me what is wrong with this laptop?

  The problem is im using my DVD - ROM drive and it stops working. I went into Device Manager and it wasn't there and it was not in my list of drives. I went and checked the BIOS, it is not listed there either and the BIOS pick up all get them is check the cable or the conection.

  Would be grateful if some knows what happened or if my hard drive is gone.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

• Satellite L50D-B - faulty DVD drive does not recognize discs

  Bought 2 months ago. The reader agrees not the CD, DVD or anything like that.
  The name of the drive does not appear on the disc and if you double click on the DVD drive icon (even if a disc is inserted) the drawer opens and says please insert a disk. I tried several discs are not the issue.

  So far I got technical support where I bought it.
  They said to do a reinstall I did - with the full drive clean. I tried to update the drivers, but the computer insists on the fact that they are later. If I search my model number on the site of Toshiba driver support he gets rejected, and I have no access to (Toshiba) drivers.

  I checked a few other forums and tried the regedit fix, but which is also irrelevant. If no solution is found (and I've lost hours of my life on this subject) then this laptop is going back for a refund and I'll get one who will perform the simple task of playing a DVD.

  Hello

  Sorry to hear that you have such a stupid problem with your machine. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  In my opinion you should not waste your time checking and search for some drivers who probably will not help at all.

  Reinstall the original operating system that you have with your machine and test functionality with the factory settings. If the result is the same contact your reseller or Toshiba service provider directly and ask for help. They can check ODD and Exchange if necessary.

• Qosmio F30 - how to get started using the external CD/DVD drive?

  Hello Mr President

  I have a Qosmio F30. My CD/DVD drive does not work. I have the USB CD/DVD drive, but I think that F30 does not support external USB CD/DVD drive to boot to the top.

  Please help me. Now, how can I boot Windows XP CD?

  At first, I must say that I really wonder why you do not have something to trade integrated optical drive. Qosmio F30 is not that old laptop and is perhaps the warranty still valid. You should check with the partner of service authorized in your country.

  For start with external peripheral is not so easy because the external drive doesn't recognize started upward. Theoretically you should either external ODD visible to your Qosmio. For older laptop, it is possible if you start Notepad in pilot mode and load BACK to BACK. After doing this you have access to the external hard drive and can start the installation.

  You can do this with your Qosmio laptop?

  The DVD drive has disappeared earlier, done case disassemble the filter and it worked for awhile, but now it disappeared again.
  Tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling, but the drive does not appear in Device Manager, or even in the boot configuration menu.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hi garrick7,

  the drive is recognized in the bios?
  Otherwise, drive might have gone... or some may be defective electronic...

  If it is not recognized in the bios that the player could be dead. > change it.

  If she recognized correctly may be a software problem...
  Test it with a system-on-cd or try to boot from it.

  but I don't think that this problem is software partner...
