DVD will read but won't write A205-S5812

My DVD drive will read and play but won't write. Device Manager says it is a Matshita UJ-850S. I have upgraded to XP Pro sp3 from vista. I suspect that it is a driver issue but I have searched and can't find one that makes it work.
Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions

Not a driver issue, or it wouldn't even read. You are missing the program required for disk writing that Toshiba suppiles with factory installs, but is lacking in commercial versions of Windows. It is not available as a download, only as part of the factory image. Since you changed to XP, You'll need to buy some disk writing software like Nero or Roxio.

LaCie ext RW drive reads but won't write

I want to burn something on the LaCie ext drive but it won't work. I've done it a ton of times before, but now any one of the multiple virgin CD discs that I put in (and am sure are correct and for writing) fail to show up on Toast. Also, on disc utility it says that the CD is for "read only" -- which ain't so! Think the drive just needs replaced?? (It's about 3-4 years old.) Thanks.

Dear Cine Alter,
If the two drives are appearing on your desktop that would suggest physical connections are OK. If you have not already done so, start up from you OSX CD and rebuild your directory. Then rebuild Permissions, Restart and see how you go. This process should clean up any directory corruptions which may be responsible for the problem. You should run both of these programs monthly to ensure corruptions do not creep into your system.
If the problem persists restart from OSX CD and try un-mounting and re-mounting each disk with Disk First Aid. Restart and see how you go.
Good Luck,
Tony

My DVD drive reads but does not write/copy (Satellite A60)

I need help,I use a laptop Satellite A60-106 series
and my dvd writer has stop writing it only copies about 3% and stops. I use both nero and roxio,
Please help me.
You can reply to [email protected]

Hello Alfred
As far as I know the small control light appear just if the drive is in use. In your case it is on constantly and in my opinion there is some problem with the device. Like Ivan already said try to remove it from device manager and let the system detect it again.
I am pretty sure that warranty is still valid and you should contact service partner in your country. Let them check the unit.
Bye

Laptop reads but won't play dvds

I have a Toshiba Satellite C875-S7303. When I put a dvd in the drive, I can go into my computer it won't let me play it as a dvd. All I can do is look at the files on the dvd itself. It used to work then it suddenly stopped. Am I missing a driver or something?

Hi! I'm sorry but I'm not understanding what your problem is. Your saying your PC sees the DVD and reads it,but it won't play. What do you have on the DVD that your trying to play? Do you have other DVD's that you can try. Are you trying to play music or vidios on your player. If the problem is on all DVD's, then we can start from there. I'm not one to start changing drivers unless it's neccesarry. Have you tried any of the trouble shooting methods that are available and are on your operating system. W7 Or W8??. If you know when your problem started, can you restore to a earlier time when every thing was working??
PS If you want to see if you have the lastest drivers. Zip file made with PSR.

Can Read but Can't Write to a Database

hi...i'm fairly new to java and have a problem w/ a database program i have written...i'm running windows xp along w/ access xp...the program i wrote works fine on my computer, however, the program is for my brother and on his computer it only reads from the database but can't write to it...unfortunately i packed the program in a jar file so when u run the program no console comes up to display the exceptions...he is running windows 98 (first edition) and doesn't have any version of access on his computer...i figure his odbc driver is out of date or something like that but i wouldn't know where to start to tackle this problem...any help w/ be very much appreciated...thank you...

Ask him to start the app via the command line/redirect (see [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#setErr(java.io.PrintStream)]System.setErr() to a file, or use a better logging method than you are now (more info in the catches, use [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-frame.html]java.util.logging ).

First, don't cross-post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=54&thread=440288&tstart=0&trange=15
Submit your question to the forum that best suits its contents. Don't try to increase your chances of getting a response by posting the same question here, there, and everywhere. It's considered rude.
Second, if you've written a Java app that runs fine on XP, then your Java is okay. That's a good start.
I think Windows 98 is the problem. It's rather old technology now. I would say that Windows 9x really isn't an application platform worth thinking about. You might be correct - the ODBC driver might be out of date.
Is the version of Access you're running the same on both machines?

Is the media a clean one ? My assumption is your dvd drive has already spoilt... Or you might want to clean the lens on the dvd drive if its possible to do from your side.

Read but won't boot from CD/DVD

This is blowing my mind! I need re-install system, it's to old (using Panther sisnce it was launched). However... the CD-ROM is dead, I'm using a external CD/DVD by USB. Course, I cannot install system from there becouse I got to boot from disc to perform Installation.
Buy another original CD-ROM is to expansive, even some 3th party. Cheap CD drives got 40 pin port, not the 50 pin of iMac. So I remove the CD-ROM from there, change the cable HD-CPU by a long flat cable with 3 connectors and put a LG CD/DVD as a slave at the ATA0. Both works fine, I can read CD and DVD media, but when I try to boot from CD, the drive is not recognized as a bootable device.
I try some install discs I got (a Jaguar and a 8.6, originals). If I force iMac by booting with my little fingher over the "C", a folder with a "?" keep flashing until I let it load the system from the HD.
XPosFacto says that is not a bootable device, invalid partition map.
What is missing?

There is no way using less than 8MB of Tiger partitium
You DO have to make the startup volume the first partition and less than 8GB in size. It may work for a while if you created one partition that extends beyond 8GB, because all of your system components are initially located below the 8GB limit. It will work fine as long as all the files needed during startup stay below the 8GB limit. However, if a future software update or software installation places or moves a component needed during the startup sequence beyond the 8GB limit, your iMac will stall during startup or give you the grey screen, as documented here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22193
You CAN install Tiger into a volume that is under 8GB. Choose to customize during installation and deselect everything you do not need, such as languages and printer drives and bundled software. That will reduce the size of the installation by as much as one GB. Then, use aliases to link things that take up space in your user home folder, such as music and photo files, to folders in the second partition. Basically, store most of your user data, except of the Library folder, on the second partition. If you can keep at least 2GB of space free, it will run fine.
It's not ideal, but these old iMac were designed to run Mac OS 8 and 9. Mac OS X did not even exist at the time, except in development. And they were not meant to have hard drive larger than 6GB. It's actually amazing that Mac OS X Panther and Tiger work at all.

Suddenly DVD Drive will read but will not burn

My Dvd drive Mat**bleep**a UJ870BJ from my Tecra A10-SP5802A suddenly stopped reading blank dvd discs. I can play any dvd movie or game but I can't burn any more.
Please help me. Thanks

Using poor quality disks causes a LOT of burning problems for people, a lot more than they realize. The burners that Toshiba uses tend to work better with DVD+R than they do with DVD-R and they absolutely hate Memowreck blank disks (which are basically junk disks anyway). Getting good quality blanks is the most important thing that people need to do, and this is complicated by the fact that most of the blanks available in your local store are normally low quality at best. The ONLY disks worth getting locally are Verbatum with AZO dye made in Taiwan aor the United Arab Emerits or Sony's made in Japan. Otherwise there is a 90% chance that you are buying junk disks.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

DVD will read movies, data CDs, but data DVDs show as blank (recordable)

My MBP started not reading data DVDs including older ones that have been accepted in the past.
The behavior is that the data DVDs show up as blank recordables.
I can read data CDs and Movie DVDs.
I've read a few threads that suggested resetting the PRAM, which I will do later (can't right now).
I wanted to post in case anyone else has seen this behavior. I don't often ready data DVDs so I can't say if this happened after a particular system update.

One more thing. The erzatz "blank" dvds do not show up in the Finder. The only way to eject them is with Disk Utility.

Drive can read DVDs and CDs but WON'T Right

Hi can anyone help with this.
When I put a blank CD or DVD in the drive I get the "This Disc Cannot Be Used Because It Is Not Recognized" message.
But the drive does read discs well.
iDVD has not been able to burn a DVD for a while and in the last few days I can't even burn a CD.
I thought It was the drive, so I replaced it and got the same message!!
So is this a software problem?
And can anyone give me a clue to fixing it?
Thanks in advance?

LARRY I have a similar problem. Here is the Info. My son just got back from South Africa with a lot of
pictures on a DVD so I downloaded them onto My MacPro 2.8 single and then burned 3 Memorix DVD+R's for my Son and Daughter. I put one of them on a new DVD player I have hooked up to the TV
and it came up fine. My Daughter took it to work and put it on a computer at work and it would not come up. She brought it back home and I tried it on a new small DVD player I have and it would not come up. I had a friend burn the DVD on his window's Machine and it still would not come up for my Daughter. It came up on the small DVD player. The DVD in my MacPro is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 112D. My friend gave me a new Taiyoyuden DVD and it would not even come up on My machine.
So far I have not had any problems burning Music CD's or CD's with pictures on them. Help!!!

MSI GE70 Laptop will start but won't boot

Hello
I've had my GE70 for almost two and a half years now and it has recently started to show a few problems.
A couple weeks ago the laptop started to freeze whenever I moved it too abruptly, particularly when holding/pressing the case near where the HDD is installed.
Now, I took it on a trip with me, and when I tried to turn it on, the fan would spin, the CD/DVD drive would run, and the power light would also turn on, but it wouldn't boot (won't even get to BIOS, just a black screen). The laptop doesn't boot because capslock/numlock lights do not turn on. The HDD seems to be working because its light blinks once as soon as I try to turn it on.
I've tried:
1. Swapping memory card slots
2. Removing the memory cards and turning on (motherboard does not beep, is that a signal that something's wrong with the motherboard?)
3. Reseting the EC
However, nothing seems to work. Can't send it to a MSI repair shop because I am currently living in Brazil and apparently there's no MSI official repairer here.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Try to remove all the storage devices and see if you can enter the BIOS menu.
If not, then it's likely that sending it to the service center will be your only hope.
