• Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

  Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios

  OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.

  The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

  This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

  Seems odd.

  The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

• Satellite P200-1EE does not read HD DVD drive TS-L802A HD

  I bought a P200-1EE of PC World and have found since that she has huge problems for reading HD DVDs via HD Toshiba DVD player software.

  I bought the last movie of Harry Potter of Warner Brothers to test the drive. Player software launches (after recognizing the media) once I inserted the disc to hd, but it crashes then once he eventually tries to read the disc. I know that the drive is ok because it worked without any problem on the Xbox HD dvd player, and on about 60 attempts, he played twice!

  The guys from PC World pulled a 1EE another P200 of their warehouse and after it is autoconfig he had the same problems, that is to say he ran the player then locked with a black screen (no error) and we finish the task the software does not respond.

  I'm a little frustrated and can not find the Board of anywhere. I have updated the bios of laptop computers, but can not find updates the firmware for Player software or drive. The driver doesn'tseem to have updates or the other (version 6.0.6000.16386)

  I have an exceptional appeal with Tosh but I hope someone else can have solved something similar.

  I am also looking for support playing movies through the HDMI cable, if I can get the laptop working.

  Thanks for your time my dear SIRS.

  Hello

  You use the Toshiba HD DVD player?
  If yes-> trying to update from Toshiba's HD DVD player with the update published on the Qosmio G30.
  There is an update of this utility, and the original version must be installed to perform this update!

  But please don t forget a fact; HD DVD technology is very recent, and not all movies have been designed with the same level.
  Sometimes may occur that the player will manage all HD DVD.

  Of course, you could try to test other HD DVD movies to ensure that equipment (HD-DVD player) is not defective

  Hello

  I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...

  When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...

  Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

  Hi, Ahmed.

  Have you tried using a different DVD?

  I would also create a USB support and then try to install.

• CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

  Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
  Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
  while others are doing so correctly.

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

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

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
  tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
  the reader.

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
  http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

  ===========================================

  This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
  is worth it.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  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
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
  both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
  power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
  and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

• My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop computer bed. PL advise solution. Thank you

  My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

  Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

  Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

• SD-2212 drive does not read some DVD - Satellite 1410

  Hello every1,
  I have the Satellite 1410 604 for more than 2 years, with player combo mentioned above...
  It serves me right, except that it does not read certain types of dvd media, and I use only high quality DVD Verbatim...
  It happens that in the last months. It is not my main computer but it's to use in my house, and it really bothers me when my sister or father takes the new A60 Pro satellite on the road (its battery is better), I can't use last discs on it. So if there is a cause of upgrade, firmware I can't find on this site...

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  I don t think that the firmware update will solve this problem because this pilot acknowledged this DVD some time ago.
  In addition, I put t found any firmware of this drive on the Toshiba site.

  But check if the disk by removing the procedure will solve this problem. So why go to Device Manager and remove the disc. After again starting the operating system should recognize the drive again

  Good bye

• TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j009wm: TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j009wm does not read USB Flash Drive after Downgrade to Windows 7

  I have no Internet on the computer, so that means I can not update my drivers. And I have a few drivers in my flash drive I want to install, but I can't.

  Hello:

  Looking at your other posts it seems that you have yourself painted in a corner.

  Since there is no inheritance or the setting USB auto in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, then put it in a USB drive enclosure sata hard laptop, plug in another PC so it can be read, download the drivers there, you need and copy to you user profile on the hard drive removed.

  Chapter 5 maintenance manual provides the procedures of withdrawal and replacement for the hard drive.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03733656

  Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go.

  These would be the drivers you need for your model...

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A200 - Mat * randomly a UJ-850 s does not read certain DVD or CD

  Hello

  I have problems with my dvd player Mat * a UJ - 850 s (firmware 1.40)

  Randomly, he's not reading certain dvd or cd.

  I called Toshiba support and they asked me to update the firmware.

  I explained that there are 3 updates of firmware for a player of TSS (NEC) DVD from Toshiba Web site but * NOTHING * for MAST * A

  They asked me to install the Toshiba disc reboot before sending to repair. Today I had time to fix it, but it does not read the startup disk!

  So I ask for Toshiba to publish an update of firmware for Mat * a UJ - 850 s

  What you mean under some CD or DVD?

  It is well known that something like this can happen. Because of this if you write here on self made CD/DVD, use empty brackets just high quality.
