Mat****a DVD-RAM drive in Satellite A100 is not working correctly

When I insert any type of disc, the drive lights up, but the system cannot access anything on the disc. I have tried all the fixes that have been shown in the forums but nothing works. The message that I get is : D:/is not accessible. I/O device error. Curiously the only disc that it reads without any problem is the recovery disc. Unfortunately a system recovery did no solve the problem.

Hi there,
if you got still warranty then it would be necessary in your case to bring/send your machine to a local toshiba servicepartner for a hardwarecheckup. But even if you dont have warranty anymore you should do that because your issues sounds like a hardware failure.
If you need some help finding a service partner then I can provide you a link where you can find the nearest one:

DVD-Rom drive in Satellite C655-S5128 not working properly in Windows 8

I recently upgraded my system from Windows 7 to Windows 8. However, the DVD-Rom drive after the upgrade no longer works properly -- it now treats the pre-recorded disk as if it was completely blank. I tried reinstalling the Toshiba Disc Creator, but that did not work.
Any solution?

You apparently did not use the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant in upgrading to Windows 8. See HERE for DVD and Disk Creator problems occurring during the upgrade and solutions.

Mat****a DVD-RAM drive in Sat M55-325 is not working correctly

The DVD drive from Mat****a (uj-840s) is not working correctly.
One symptom of the problem is that its icon does not appear in 'My Computer'
anymore and it does not recognise CDs.
I went to the Drive's properties through the Device Manager and saw the following message:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
Following the Troubleshooter instruction, I have tried updating my driver through
the Device Manager but it tells me that the current driver is the most up to date version.
In the Drive's properties I found that my driver version is: 5.1.2535.0
I have RecordNow from Sonic/Roxio that came preinstalled on the computer.
Is this a simple problem that has a solution?
I can not think of other actions to find the root of the problem.
Thanks

Hi
Check please this Microsoft page http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320553
I have had similar problem. The ODD (optical disc drive) was not shown in Windows explorer. Method 1 from this page solved the problem. Please try the same and let me know if ODD works again.

Satellite A100 - USB not working after XP installation

Hi Guys
I am reloading Satellite A100 PSAA9A OCV004 for a friend he has lost the disks so I have loaded a legal copy of XP home everything going well so far but I can't get the USB working any ideas?
Tnx Mick.

Hi Mick,
Have you installed new Service Pack 3 for Windows XP? This is important because it contains many important updates.
After Service Pack 3 installation you can start with driver installation. Everything you can download on Toshiba website.
Its also important that you install the chipset driver.

CD/DVD drive of Satellite A30 does not work properly

I have a satellite A30 - 921, but for some reason the cd/dvd has stopped working. In Drivers folder it says "driver corrupt/missing. (Error code 39). It will not roll-back or update either. Do i need to download the driver ( it is Toshiba dvd-rom SD-R6112) again & if so how/where? I cant use the recovery or installation disc as it wont read the drive. Any ideas pls.

So, you want to tell that your CD/DVD-drive is defective and you cannot read from it nor recover your system.
To download drivers you should take a look here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Otherwise I suggest you to bring your machine to an authorized service partner for a hardwarecheckup. If your drive is really defective then it should be replaced.

Satellite A100 does not work anymore

Hi,
I bought a broken laptop and when I boot it up, I get very little:
all i get is 2 blue lights and a couple of red ones above the keyboars for around 1 tenth of a second.
I was thinking of resetting the bios.
I disassembled it and could not feel any heat going to processor but the board must work as the wireless card switch lights up along with start key but no fans or nothing else.
please help

First of all, I wonder why you bought a broken machine when youre not able to fix it.
If youre not a technician then sell the machine and buy a working one because no one here would exactly could tell you what to do or how to fix it.
The only posts would be like: "send the machine to an service partner" or "change the mainboard" or "sell the machine" , "throw the machine into trash"
I would assume that the mainboard is defective and needs to be replaced. I already replaced some mainboards on toshibas and its not that easy like some people think. You need some experience and often its not only the mainboard which is faulty, sometimes there is more then you assume.
I hope you get it fixed. Good luck.

Satellite A200 keyboard not working correctly

I've had my Toshiba since last May and have always had a problem with typing capital M. Each time I do this and it has happened as I typed May, it moves all following letters to anywhere in the preceeding text. As a touch typist I find this particularly annoying as it is often two or three paragraphs before I notice what has happened. It is alos very very inconvenient as I have to type a lot slower than I would normally do.
Has anyone else encountered this specific problem? If so, what were you able to do to resolve it? I have tried using a test version of Windows 7 as well as other types of software so am fairly confident this is not a software problem.

Thanks for reply, as is still under guarantee, have asked Toshiba to sort out - they are due to collect in a couple of days, but nice to have cofirmation of what we believe.

SD-R6372 drive recognized as Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ830S

Hello,
(sorry but I'm not very good in english)
I have a TOSHIBA SD-R6372 DVDRAM in my laptop computer, but windows (XP) recognize it as a MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ830S. So I can't write DVD-R and DVD-+RW. And when I wan't to updtae the firmware with SDR6372-1732.exe it's return the error : "The target drive is not found".
I suppose is a driver fault, but I can't find the driver anywhere.
Please Help me.
Thank you :)

Hi
As far as I know there is no special driver for any drive and it will be used standard Microsoft driver. Just for DVD-RAM drive must be installed DVD tool. To understood your problem a little bit better it will be useful to know which notebook model you have.

Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since installing Vista

I did a clean installation on my Vista Ready new M7. It had XP tablet to begin with and the DVD drive worked fine. Indeed I used it to install Vista (Home Premium).
Now it does not work at all. It spins but does not read. Device Manager tells me device cannot start. Tried to update driver and it told me that it has the most uptodate driver.
Downloaded all the drivers from Tosh download centre for Vista upgrade of M7 (which got bluetooth, screen rotation etc to work fine). But none of the downloads seemed to be a driver for the DVD-Ram drive. Can not find a driver anywhere else (including Panasonic site).
DVD drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841s
Any suggestions?

Hi
On the Toshiba driver page you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
Did you try to install the XP DVD-RAM driver from the Toshiba page on the Vista OS?
Maybe it will works
But listen the CD/DVD drive uses the common Microsoft drivers which are included into Vista or XP.
Therefore an additional driver should be not needed!
One additional proposal;
Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
After new reboot the OS should install the drive again and should renew the software.
Other hint:
- Start the registry
- Choose the registry key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters and LowerFilters then click Delete.
- and restart the notebook

A50 DVD-RAM drive problem

Hi,
when I try to burn into 8x DVD-R, Nero tells it can burn only at 2x. It should normally 4x.
The drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-820S, FW version 1.0
I think the firmware update should solve this problem, but I cannot find it anywhere.

Hi Ado,
Did you checked any other DVD-Rs for writing? There could also be a problem with the medium (meantime problem of every DVD Writer manufacturer).

Dvd-ram driver loss

Lost the DVD-RAM driver for Mat**bleep**a UJ-812. As such, the T42p does not address the D drive. Help!

@danieltc: you could try the "old-fashioned way": remove/uninstall the ATA/SATA controller from the device manager and then let windows search and install (again) the driver for your controller and for the drives (on that controller), including the driver for your optical drive
this should give windows a "refresh" (which is needed sometimes, especially when you upgraded windows -and not clean installed it-)

Compatible DVD-RW drives for Satellite Pro 4320

I want to upgrade the CD-ROM drive of my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 with a new DVD-RW drive. If i bought the following drive, will it work with my Notebook?
Samsung SlimDrive SN-S082D
http://www.samsung.com/Products/OpticalDiscDrive/SlimDrive/OpticalDiscDrive_SlimDrive_SN_S082D.asp?page=Speci fications
Or please, if you know of a DVD-RW drive that is compatible with this notebook, then share your knowledge so I and others know what to buy. Thanks.
Or are all drives available nowadays compatible?

Drive compatibility is always a problem by upgrade. The fact is that every ODD will not work with every notebook model. I presume it is because of different pin assignment.
Unfortunately I was not able to find any list of compatible ODDs for your notebook model. Sat Pro 4320 is pretty old unit and it will be probably not so easy to find compatible DVD-RAM drive. Try to contact authorized Toshiba service in your country. They are upgrade specialized and they should know which ODDs are compatible for this Satellite Pro notebook.

T60 HDD res. partition, USB ports and DVD-RAM drive no longer recognizing data/media!

I have a base installation of the IBM T60.. I made no modifications to the setup or configuration of how the HDD is structured nor have I downloaded and installed any strange drivers... only automatically downloaded drivers from Microsoft update and manually downloaded driver updates from the Lenovo website.
One day everything was working fine. Next day, my USB devices, reserved partition (can't remember what this is called) and the DVD-RAM drive stopped working but power was still getting to these devices.
My DVD-RAM drive is seen as a DVD-RAM on first bootup. When I insert a CD or DVD media in the drive, the Explorer tree changes DVD-RAM to CD-ROM in the Explorer (really strange). It behaves like there is no media in the drive. Cannot boot with that drive either.
In addition, I have external USB HDD and Flash drives as well. None of them work on this T60 anymore.
When I plug in an external USB HDD or Flash drive, I get "not formatted" error message and a prompt to format my drives?!
I tested these USB external drives on a desktop machine and verified that they are working 100% fine. So the problem has something to do with my IBM/Lenovo T60.
It almost seems like something broke on the motherboard perhaps? I downloaded and installed the latest BIOS updates as well to no avail. Please help. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration of this issue.

DVD RAM Drive issue

We have a macbook pro with 2 gig of RAM and osx tiger 10.4.8. We have a DVD RAM drive due to the nature of our work. This drive always seemed to take longer to sin up thn other drives but I just assumed this was o.k Now the drive simply spits all DVD types out, but plays CD's just fine which seems odd to us. We would like to know if it could be someting simple before we send it away to apple. Any suggestions please?

From my experience it sounds like you have a faulty drive. Replacement would be the option.

DVD-RAM drive from G4 AGP in the MacPro?

Just bought a new MacPro. I would like to move my DVD-RAM drive from my trusty old Sawtooth to the MacPro. I have a lot of old Type I cartridges with archived data on them that I would like to keep using, but on the new machine, since my husband is wanting me to give him the G4. The DVD_RAM Type1 cartridges are like "monster" ZIP disks and really convenient and dependable for backups.
An Apple Tech Support rep said it would "probably" work on the MacPro, but that I should post the question on the Forums as well, to see what others had to say. Any takers?
Also, if there is a new drive I could purchase that would accommodate the Type I cartridges and technology, I'd be interested in that information. I did research on these kinds of drives for my G4 some months ago, but found it hard to determine if there was a new "Superdrive" style drive with this capability.

I had to look up PATA and found info at http://www.directron.com/patasata.html to be very informative.
I know that my hard drives use a connector that looks like the parallel connectors in these photos. I'm not sure about the optical drives, because I've never had a reason to take them out or change them until now. I'll have to look inside and see.
They do talk in this article about the bulk of PATA connectors being more significant than the new serial ATA connectors. Considering the comments shared by "the hatter" that could be a problem. I'll check this out in the next couple of days and see is any hindrances regarding space come to light.
I'd still like to know if there is a new optical drive out there somewhere that could provide a DVD-RAM (Type I cartridge and newer formats) option for the MacPro. I hope someone can share some knowledge about that.
Thanks for your comments Ned and hatter.
