CD/DVD drive isn't recognised on Satellite Pro L10

hello. can anybody help with the following ;-
My DVD drive isn't recognised on my comp and in hardware properties it states that my CDW/DVD driver has possibly become corrupted and needs re-installing or 'updating'.
the drive(r) is shown as TSST Corp TS-L462A - can i get the updated
driver download from this site? (is it free?)
thanks for any assistance

Hi Paul,
You don't say what model of notebook you have, but generally speaking if you are using Windows XP then you will be using the standard Microsoft drivers for your optical drive.
However, you can download any of the Toshiba drivers and utilities from the Toshiba web-site by clicking on the Support and Downloads section and selecting Download Files. You will need to complete the details of your notebook so that the correct driver list will be displayed (unless you supplied these details when you registered).
regards,

  • New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought a brand new NEC ND-6650 DVD writer.
    This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600, at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). Bios updates higher than version 2.60 are not provided.
    Does this mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Nils

    Hi Nils,
    I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your notebook. As with all optical drives your new drive will be configured as either Slave or Master (or possible cable select), and this configuration must match your notebook.
    Usually your hard drive will be configured as Master on IDE channel 0 with your optical drive being the slave device on the same channel. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as Master on IDE channel 1.
    Normally the setting is pre-configured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure that they are the same.
    regards,

  • No CD/DVD drive in My Computer on Satellite Pro M70

    The DVD/CD drive on my M70 is not showing up on Win Explorer or Device Manager now.
    If I insert a CD/DVD it looks at it and the light comes on, but then nothing. If I press the DVD button on the keypad it says "The CD or DVD drive is not inserted. Please insert the drive which can play CD or DVD."
    Any suggestions?

    I think this is a simply problem with the registry entries.
    I have investigated a lot in the Microsoft knowledge base and in this forum and found one link which was suggested here in the forum a lot of time:

  • Equium L350D - DVD/CD drive isn't recognised

    Hi,
    Having a real problem with the internal DVD/CD drive in my Equium.
    Whatever DVD software I try to use my DVD drive isn't recognised. I've tried using the following : Toshiba installed, Windows Media Player, iTunes.
    This is the error message :
    The specific drive cannot be located. Check the setting by going to Settings->Action settings->Source, or otherwise check that the drive has been properly connect to the PC.
    Hope someone can help !!

    Hi mate
    First of all you should check the device manager.
    The CD/DVD drive should be listed there
    If there is yellow exclamation mark near the ODD in device manager, then you should delete it from the device list.
    Then you should access registry (type regedit) and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    After that reboot the unit and wait until Windows would recognize the ODD again
    If this would not help, then I would recommend removing the tools like itunes and other burning applications from the system
    I read in many forums that iTunes etc could affect the CD/DVD drive functionality

  • DVD drive isn't working. Can't install Snow Leopard.

    my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    I think not.   You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific.   So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.  
    Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection.   It just might be something not too drastic.

  • My DVD drive isn't working and I want to download elements pc 6 with my serial number, how can I do that?

    I have the disc for Ps elements 6 for windows, but my DVD drive isn't working. How can I download with my serial number?

    I'm afraid there is no place to download photoshop elements 6, that i know of anyway.
    (unless you had bought it from adobe as an download, then you could possibly log in to your account and download pse 6)
    What operating system are you using?
    Do you have another computer with a working dvd drive or do you have a flash drive, camera card.
    USB dvd drives are dirt cheap, so if you live near a computer store, that might be an option or if you have a friend that has one you can borrow.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - Unmountable Boot Volume

    My Satellite Pro L10 loops at the boot process. After the Windows XP splash screen, the following error messages comes up: .... Unmountable boot volume... Technical Information: Stop: 0x000000ED...
    I know this is nothing exceptional and doing a full recovery would solve the problem. But I don't want to loose the data (which of course is not backed up). I tried a Windows XP disc, but it won't boot from the cd/dvd drive pressing F12 or <0> and changing the boot order....
    Can anyone help please?

    Hi
    Hmm the error message unmountable boot volume appears mostly if the HDD cannot be recognized during the booting. Why? Well, possibly the HDD malfunctions or the master boot record is faulty!
    If you dont want to recover the notebook you could try to boot from the XP CD (press C button immediately after notebook powering) and to start the repair console.
    In the repair console you could use the command chkdsk /p and after this you could fix the master boot record using the command fixboot or/and fixmbr.
    If it does not help, the new OS installation is you last resort.
    Ps: if you want to backup the data you can try to remove the HDD and try to connect it via external USB HDD controller to another computer.

  • Satellite Pro L10-103 - USB ports not working

    Hi, my Satellite Pro L10-103 USB Ports are not working. I've tried various things and lastly my advisor scrubbed my computer clean of all programmes and operating system. After reloading from the set up disk and having lost my some expensive programmes I am no further forward. Still not working.
    Does anyone know if this means it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I'm using Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Satellite Pro L10: sound card does not support Windows 7

    I need update of sound card for Windows 7.

    Hi buddy
    What to say first of all you will not get official drivers for this notebook for Win 7 or Vista.
    This notebook is oldie and I doubt the drivers will be released.
    Reading through this forum threads Ive noticed that most of the user use the Vista driver on Win 7 OS.
    Maybe you should google for the Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista driver on Win 7
    Good luck

    there are such special "VGA-to-TV" Converter like this one http://www.smarthome.com/7743.html . The benefit of this box is, that you can make some accurate settings for your picture.
    Otherwise you can try that thing which pedro suggested.
