• Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

  I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

  Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

  Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
  It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

  I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
  I need to download the drivers to operate?
  It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

  I'd appreciate any help. THX

  The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
  I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

  As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

  You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

  Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
  However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
  My user manual provides this information.

• Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

  I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
  I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

  The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
  Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

  Hello

  Don t need to change BIOS settings

  As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
  What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

  The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

  More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

• Satellite 2805-S603 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Too recent for 2805 controller?
  Which one i should buy, he worked normally?

  This HARD disk supports an ATA-5 interface and about 30GB.

  If you want to be sure that the HARD drive works in your laptop 100% please contact the service provider authorized in your country and order the HARD drive support.

• Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
  It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
  I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

  Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
  I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
  I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

  So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
  So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

  I (try) to install and it does nothing.
  I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
  The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

  So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
  AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

  On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
  I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

  Cheers mate

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new WD external hard drive added to the usb port

  Recently, I tried to add my third USB WD hard drive to my computer.  It's a My Book Essential.  The meter turns and the virtual cd drive is listed in WD, but the hard drive itself does not appear on the list of devices with a drive letter.  My my first two books are readers: J:, and L: I have no "new device found" message   I search for new devices and it the PC do not find anything.  If I click on the virtual CD drive (M :) it askes if I want the computer to allow WD to make changes...) I say Yes and the screen flashes and nothing happens.
  The drive be defective?  Any other ideas?

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

  My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

  I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

• Satellite A135 does not recognize the new drive to CD/DVD UJ - 850

  I replace my dvd Panasonic UJ-850 drive, and I can't seem to recognize. Is there some soldering or settings I have to do.
  If I update to UJ-870, I should do the same thing?

  I'd rather you to find an authorized partner and let them do that because if you install some different readers then previously installed, you'll get big problems.

  The big problem is:

  Readers are funniest differently, so a drive that was installed by toshiba is flashed as master for the second channel, but a replacement drive is flashed to be a slave in the second inning.

  I Don t know how your skills are good, but so you´re now in doubt after obtaining this info then the next techno or ASP and let them do these things like repair/replacement/whatever

• Operating system does not recognize the drive (cd/dvd drive)

  Product: hp pavilion dv4270us notebook PC

  Operating system: Windows XP Professional

  My dvd R/W drive stopped working on my laptop all of a sudden.  No messages were produced.  When I checked the Device Manager, the drive did not work with an error code 39.  I uninstalled equipment and reinstalled several times but no recognition by operating system.

  Is this a problem of interface, or do I need a new optical drive?

  Yes... a bit of burning CD and other prorgams programs add their filter keys to the registry that will create this problem. You just need to remove the key and restart the system to recover the system to the factory settings.

• Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

  Laptop is only a few months old.
  Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
  Tried Windows Update - does not help.
  Tried registry fix - does not help.

  Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
  The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

  Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Very strange what s
  Try this:

  Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
  If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

  You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

  Good luck my friend

• Lost in car-Windows xp does not recognize the slave drive

  I do reinstall xp home, no problem when I did the system does not recognize the slave drive I have.  As far as I can tell that it's all hooked up correctly.  When I go into disk management it does not recognize the drive either.  All of the suggestions.

  Hi james.williams,

  1. How is the drive connected to the computer?
  2. What is the number of the brand and model of the player?

  I suggest that you check the jumper settings and make sure that the jumpers are correctly positioned.

  Make sure they are in the two master/slave jumper and not cable select.
