  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD drive is not working properly

    Fix DVD Drive or buy external drive
    My DVD drive is not working properly, in fact it may never have been working proper. Recently I tried to back up my PC to a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize the DVD was present. I then tried writing a text file to a DVD and was unsuccessful. Both DVD+R and DVD-R media were tried (Maxwell 16X).
    I could have probably lived with this however, I got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my neighbors laptop and it was recognized.
    An attempt at updating the driver was also unsuccessful.
    I was able to rip a music CD last night so that at least is working correctly.
    Does anybody know how I can fix this? The important part is being able to load my new program.
    Searching some forums I've found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive cannot be fixed I am not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately where I live there are no brick-and-mortar stores which sell external drives and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can anyone suggest an external USB drive which will read and write CDs and DVDs and which is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?
    Thank you for any help,

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.
    However you wont be able to boot of CD's (Run Recovery for example) if you use an external drive.
    So your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and ask for a quotation.

  • Updated my HP Laptop to Windows 8 and now DVD driver will not work. Help!

    I have a Hp Pavilion dv-7013cl Entertainment PC and everything was working perfectly. I updated to Windows 8 about a month ago and had some problems. I then did a clean install of Windows 8 and now all the bugs are fixed except my DVD drive will not work. 
    I insert a DVD or CD and nothing happens. I go to My Computer and click on it and it just ejects the DVD. I don't know what to do and need my DVD drive.
    Also, I tried to go to device manager and reinstall the driver but that didn't help. 

    Hi Crosby,
    Take a look at this document and try the troubleshooting steps.  Please let me know if it helps to resolve your issues.
    Good luck!

  • My mac book pro fell of my desk, everything seems fine, but the dvd drive is not working properly, any suggestions

    My mac book fell of my desk yesterday. All seems well, but I noticed today that the dvd drive is not working properly, it seems to want to keep ejecting the disk even when the disk is out, and it won't accept dvd's any more. Any suggestions o fellow apple users?

    Back up EVERYTHING, then take it in to have them assess for any latent damage. Wouldn't want a similar "delayed reaction" from the hard disk drive, would we?

    My superdrive has always been sensitive to dirt and smudges. Memorex and other mfgs make a DVD cleaner disk that has little bristles on the DVD to brush the dust away. Vacuuming the slot can also clean out dust buildup. Also there are disk polishers that can repair scratched CDs and DVD if they become unreadable.

  • I want  to upgrad from OS X10.5.8 to 10.6.8 or higher, but my DVD drive  is not working. Is there the possibility to buy an online Update?

    I want  to upgrad from OS X10.5.8 to 10.6.8 or higher, but my DVD drive  is not working. Is there the possibility to buy an online Update?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    If your hardware supports more recent versions then:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

    from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
    When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
    "windows was unable to complete the format"
    So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
    waiting for the help !

    Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
    If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:

    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ2B03F10002R01.htm

  • CD/DVD drive does not work

    After 6 days receiving my mac book pro I insert a CD to install my internet services, the the drive did not work and is not possible to take out the CD the icon does not appear in the desktop nor work the expulsion keyboard after read the topics in help the CD reamins in the drive.
    I appreciate any help on the above isse
    I believe this is unacceptable for an expensive device for a newly user/client.
    Regards

    Try starting up Disc Utility from your utilities Folder, Mac fail, and see if you can eject the disk from there.
    If not, as your computer is brand new, I'd suggest you simply get in contact with the place you purchased it from to arrange a replacement.

  • System recovery on Sattelite M70-204 PSM71E. The CD/DVD drive does not work

    Hello!
    Can you please give me some help and advice on the way to resolve the following issues:
    I have had over the last three months minor problems with Windows Installer: software updates could not always be performed successfully, an error message was issued by Windows Installer regarding Quick Time when I started the computer. Apart from it, the computer was runing correctly. I had plan to restore the system with the Toshiba CD in the coming weeks to correct the issues.
    But since yesterday, I have had a new problem. The CD drive is not recognized anymore under Windows XP.
    I have tried to repair the driver from the CD drive following the procedure described by Toshiba. It did not work. I do not know if it is an hardware or a software problem which prevent me to recognize and use the CD and DVD drive under Windows XP and I do not know either if I can still run anymore a Restore process.
    _*1/If I launch a Restore process, I believe that, at the start ,the HD will be formatted. How can I be sure that my computer will be able to read the data from the Toshiba Restore CD?*_ ( I have today a computer which still works almost properly. I would not like to be stuck with a completely dead computer, if the Restore process fails due to the CD driver)
    _*2/ Is it possible to restore without using the internal CD drive? (use of an external CD drive or external HD)*_
    Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

    Please ignore my request!
    I have been able to fix the problem by correcting the Register. The CD/DVD drive works now properly.

  • I need to reinstall Snow Leopard on a MacBook 1.1 after replacing the hard drive.  The DVD drive is not working.  What is the best way to do this?

    My hard drive died.  I installed a new one and want to restore from my Time Machine back up, but my DVD drive will not read my Snow Leopard upgrade disc.  It did read the grey Tiger install discs that came with the coumputer, so I now am back to 10.4.11, but how do I restore from my Time Machine backup from this point?  The system does recognize the Time Machine Drive, but "restore from backup" simply copies the entire contents to new hard drive.   have access to an external USB DVD drive, but I cannot boot my Snow Leopard upgrade DVD from it.

    This article contains instructions for reinstalling OSX on older Macbook Airs.  It should also apply to your situation.  Give it a try.

  • Satellite A45-S250 : How to use Recovery CD if DVD Drive is not working

    Hi all ,
    First , appologize for my english , i'm a french guy :)
    So my problem is that i would like to re-install everything on a A45-S250 by using the recovery CD.
    But the main problem is that the internal DVD drive is not running anymore.
    I've try by plugging an external DVD drive, but the laptop don't want to boot on it.
    I've seen that it can boot through a floppy drive, lan, or SD card. But with theses possibilities , how to be able to reinstall everything include in the recovery CD ?
    I may have a usb floppy drive, so i'll be able to boot on a disk boot. but then how to start the recovery CD procedure ?
    I'll prefer to use the recovery CD as a WinXP home standart, cause i know that the OEM serial won't work to a Original version of WinXP ...
    Thanks for your help !
    Kubs

    Hi
    If you want to use the Recovery CD then you would need a bootable CD/DVD drive.
    Fact is that you would be not able to boot from a USB CD/DVD drive or its not possible to copy the whole stuff on the SD card and then to boot
    You need an internal CD/DVD drive or external CD/DVD drive which could be connected to the PCMCIA port
    For me only these two possibilities could work!
