G60t-200 CD/DVD drive won't read XP discs

I recently re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium after I had a blue screen crash forcing me to re-format the hard drive on a g-60t-200. I've installed all the recommended Windows updates as well as all the HP updates for the g60t-200 model that I have but now the CD/DVD drive will not read the files on older discs that I burned using Windows XP on another machine. It shows the disc in the drive and shows the folders on the disc but when you open the folders, the files are not visible. When I right click and open up the properties of the disc while it's in the drive it shows it as "UDF" format. The other machines in the house running Windows XP can read the disks just fine and show all the files. Is there an update or driver I'm missing that will allow the drives to read the files on discs burned using Windows XP?

Hi sherifawad, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that after restoring your computer, you can no longer read CD/DVD's that were burned on XP with the Windows 7 operating system. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. I suggest that you make sure that you have the latest service pack for Windows 7. Here is the Service Pack and Update Center for Windows.
I am including this document for Using HP Support Tools to Update HP Software, Drivers, and BIOS with Windows 7.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Satellite A100-447 - DVD drive won't read some discs

    Hi,
    I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came pre-loaded with Vista Home Premium, and has a Mat****a UJ-850S super-multi DVD/CD drive.
    The DVD drive is not functioning correctly. It will recognise some blank DVD's, but never DVD-R and will not recognise any burned DVD's at all. It's fine with CD's, and with DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD's where there's a problem.
    Also when attempting to write to a DVD when it does choose to recognise one it errors out half way through.
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    you can do the follwowing:
    Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp ,
    download the latest firmware update for that drive, install it and then try it again.
    Sometimes the manufacturer have to update their drives for the newest recordable media and so I think it can be possible that your drive is simply not up-to-date.

  • HELP! DVD Drive won't read blank discs

    Recently, MAC Mini (Power PC) Matsushita UJ-845 Superdrive doesn't recognize blank DVD media (from same 100-pack spindle previously used with no problem). Drive spins, reads and then seems to go into a rhythmic oscillation. After a short time, I get this message:
    "The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
    Sense Code = 0x64
    ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK"
    If I keep trying to get the blank disc read, I get another message:
    "Interface Error: -16434
    The connection is not stable"
    Has anyone else experienced this? I've done forum searches on some of the key words and error codes above with no luck.
    I get this error when trying to burn a VIDEO_TS file to DVD using Toast 7, but it really seems to be more of a hardware-related issue.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    xfm,
    I too have the exact same error messages, but with a UJ-846 drive and Verbatim DVD-R 100-pack spindles.
    My drive reads CD/DVDs OK, no problem, but gives problems when I put in a blank disc. I had this problem a few weeks ago with CDs as well, but then opened up the Mac mini and 'cleaned' the Superdrive with some compressed air, and that seem to have sorted the problem then.
    Today though, for some reason NOTHING works, I even left the Mac mini 'naked' (without casing) while trying ten times and blowing air in between each time.
    I have two batches of Verbatim DVD-R (100packs) bought in two different stores about a month or so apart, and one batch of CD-Rs that are yet another make. All of them with the same problem.
    I think this is a hardware problems and it absolutely stinks that it only happens after the Apple warranty has expired. I've done about a 100+ disks on the Mac mini, which in my mind is hardly any at all, so it can't be 'worn out'.
    Any ideas, or anyone with leverage at Apple that can kick some a*s
    PS. I also have a MacBook Pro C2D with a busted spindle in the SuperDrive (UJ-857D), so me no like SuperDrives very much.

  • Cd/dvd drive won't burn a disc,although it will read a cd

    i have a compaq cq62 with windows 7 home premium with the cd/dvd drive won't burn a disc,although it will read a cd

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Check if the drive will now burn a disc.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it is now able to burn a disc.

  • MacBook CD/DVD drive won't read disc

    I have a Apple MacBook MC207LL. I have run into a major problem. My CD/DVD drive won't recogonize a disc when it's inserted (I have to force eject it). Disk utility shows that there is a disc present in the CD/DVD drive.
    My major issue is that I erased my partition so I can have a clean install of my laptop. Now I can't reinstall the OS because it won't read the disc or a USB.
    Is there a way to use Terminal to force it to read my data on the disc?
    Otherwise I am stuck with an empty computer that I will never be able to use I have done research on this and nobody has run into this exact problem as me. If someone can take their time to help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem, but now mine wont even notice that the disc is there! I wouldsay take it to the genius bar.

    DVD drive won't read after upgrade to mountain lion install

    do you have the win 7 cd handy, try to boot into the discs and see whether that works, this will tell you whether that is software or hardware problem. Such failures do occur, due to ageing of laser.

  • CD/ DVD Drive is not reading any discs! - HP Pavillion DV6747TX

    Hi there, I have a problem. My CD/ DVD Drive is not reading any discs! I have no idea what's happened..it was going fine and then all of the sudden it stopped working.
    The computer I have is a HP Pavillion DV6700 or DV6747TX to be exact and the CD/DVD-Rom drive is a TSSTcgrp CDDVDW TS%L632N ATA Device. It seems to be present in the Device Manager and in the Computer Menu. When I put a CD or DVD into the disc drive lights are blinking and it sounds like it's trying to load or do something, but nothing is coming up. CD Drive E still says CD Drive E instead of reading the disc that's in there and when I click on Drive E it says Windows cannot read the disc in drive E.
    I have tried searching the net for answers including the suggestions on this website and have tried a few other ideas I have come across but nothing seems to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated  

    This is usually  a known software conflict and happens across the board will all computer manufacturers due to a issue with multiple media burning/ripping applications being installed on your system.

  • CD/DVD Drive is not reading any discs on Equium A100

    My cd/dvd drive is not reading any discs whatsoever, blank, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and the light to show it is working is on. Device manager says the device is working properly.
    Tried updating drivers, no updates available. Tried system restore back 1 day then 1 week then 1 month and still the problem cannot be rectified. When i put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
    Can anybody help me i've tried everything me and my friends can think of, or is it a better idea to just send it back to toshiba under the warranty.

    Hello,
    Here are a few windows articles that could help.

    This one might do the trick, if not try this one.

    Hope these help resolve the problem. If not it could be a registry setting error which can be rectified as well. But only if these 2 above do not help to resolve the problem.

  • DVD drive won't read disks at boot

    I have a Paviliton DV6-2113sa running Win7 HP  64bit. 
    I removed Acronis True Image and when I rebooted I got a BSOD at the point when the coloured balls should merge into one.
    I thought OK, put the system repair disk into the DVD drive and boot up, but the drive is failing to read any recovery dosks. I think the drive has packed up as I haven't used it for some time.
    Can I use any replacement drive in this model or must I get the same one again?
    The drive light flickers as though it is reading data but it doesn't 'spool up' to speed and I don't get the 'press any key to load from DVD'.
    The BSODs are a seperate issue which I think running a system repair will fix but I can't as the drive won't read data.
    Is it possible to put the repair disk files onto a 4gb USB stick and if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks.

    Hi Peeps
    I had exactly the same problem with my Macbook, again from the UK. Really weird though as would intermittantly read DVD film's which worked fine previously.
    Well.... Took it to my local Apple store and saw a genius and anyway they replaced the super drive and logic board (surprised about the logic board!).
    But just got it back today and the DVD drive is completely fubard so is being returned tomorrow to get this sorted!
    Moral of the story, sounds like a drive or board problem. Will keep you updated when I get mine back

  • CD/DVD drive won't read any CDs or DVDs

    Whenever I insert a DVD, CD, or CD-ROM my computer won't read the disc. The computer starts making noise like it is reading the disc but then it stops. It tries 3 times (starts and stops) and then just spits the disc out. I can't watch movies, install software, etc. How do I fix this.

    Before taking it or sending it anywhere I'd first try resetting PRAM…

  • Optical drive won't read certain discs?

    Hello, this is my first post in the community and I am a novice with computers. I bought my iMac in 2010 at Apple and it has been the best computer I have ever owned. But for some reason starting today the optical drive won't read any type of cd's like a user's manual or software install disc. It tries but just ejects it back out. Now the strange part is I can put any dvd disc to play a movie and plays it perfectly with no problem at all. Has anyone had this happen to them or any thought on what is wrong. My wife has a macbook and hers works fine and I checked her system preferences for cd's/dvd and they are the same. I a running 10.6.8 OS. Thanks

    The iMac supports the following CD types if it is one of these types and still won't read then it sounds like a CD hardware or software driver problem. If you re-load the software driver and it still doesn't work then I would then suggest you take it to an Apple store for repair.

  • My DVD Drive won't read Any DL Dvd

    Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to burn a DVD+R DL from memorex and everytime I put it in my drive it always eject. But the drive works since I just re-installed my OS from the mac OS boot disc that came with the computer when I bought it. And I also installed programs from dvd before. Is this a driver not updated or my dvd drive is broken or what's wrong with my computer. Please help me. BTW, My computer is running on leopard, its a unibody 2,4ghz.

    You can try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    and PRAM How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
    If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc or a quick shot of canned air. It's likely though that your drive has failed, it' not all that uncommon. It that is the case you can either replace it or have it replaced but it's far cheaper just to buy a usb external drive....just not Apples because it won't work with macs with a built in drive working or not. .
