Mat****a UJ-841S reads all CD as blank on Satellite M series

Hi guys,
This is my first post as any issues Ive ever had with the laptop I have solved myself.
However this issue (which I think may be a first for this forum has me at a loss:
My Mat****a UJ-841S is reading <b>all</b> CD-Rs as blank. It recognizes the inserted disc, and I am prompted to do the usual - Create a music CD, add files etc etc. The drive reads DVDs and Shop bought music CDs, i.e. not CDs burned at home, perfectly well. I have tried re-installing the drive via Device Manager, I don't believe it to be a Registry issue however I have checked it for errors with CCleaner, I have un-installed recent Windows updates in case there was some sort of conflict. I can only find updated drivers for the VAIO not my Tosh. What strikes me a strange also is that (via Explore) it reads the entire memory capability of the inserted disc 701MB, 702MB, 699MB etc so its can recognize it capacity... but that it is all "free space".
I have used several discs of different manufacture, with different contents. If it were a hardware fault would it still read DVDs and Shop bought music CDs?
I feel like pulling my hair out!!!!! It may just be some trivial settings or something but I can't find it. Maybe it is PEBKAC!!
Any feedback greatly appreciated for this poor frustrated user :-D
Larry.

What laptop model is it?
Have you tried deleting the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters?
Some CD/DVD software insert their own Optical Drive Filters in the Registry to provide CD/DVD burning functionality.
However these 3rd Party filters can conflict or cause issues, resulting in drive detection or read/write problems.
Step 1: Start Registry Editor
* Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Step 2: Delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry entry
* In Regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class
* Expand Class, and click {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
* In the right pane, delete the 'UpperFilters' and 'LowerFilters' keys.
Step 3: Reboot Windows and Test
* If you favorite CD/DVD software fails to work, simply reinstall the application to restore its Filters.
* If reinstalling that CD/DVD software has caused the problem again, update the software or use an alternative.

    Hi,
    The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
    Notebook PC support
    The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
    Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
    out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
    FIRST OF ALL:
    My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
    My
    sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
    My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply. However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
    I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
    the computer shuts down suddenly.
    My problem is follows:::
    First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
    I was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
    corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/media-in-cddvd-drive-is-not-...'
    Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.

    I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
    I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
    I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software which
    came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
    I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical
    drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell
    optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc
    recording software
    However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE
    Thus, my questions are:
    How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with
    another one.
    I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOT recognised/Installed on BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto the secondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS
    What is meant with with double Layer Support.
    How much does it cost?

    HI @cooperator 
    I understand that you are having an issue with your battery and the lightscribe drive. You would also like to know about DL(Dual Layer) support.
    Here is a link to  Troubleshooting the notebook battery to assist with the battery concern.
    You asked what dual layer support is , here is a definition from webopedia for the explanation.
    What is dual layer support
    As you stated in your post your system supports  reading
    The DL refers to dual layer, it does not list a CD DL.  What type of disk are you using?
     From your post I noticed it does read the title of the disk but is unable to read the file.
    Did you use any form of compression software  when writing the files?
    Would you try inserting a  supported blank disk and writing to it.  If you can do this and read the disk after your drive is functioning.
    The only other way to check would be to remove and reinstall it  into another computer to test if it works there.
    Yes there is a bios update listed on the driver page for your notebook.
    HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Updating the bios does have a potential to cause damage, for this reason I suggest contacting HP support for assistance.

    I hope this helps!
    Thanks a lot,
    I wish that Paul_Tikkanen could have participated in solving this issue since I know he has insight in such problems.
    Could you please be a little bit patient with me and go through all my points below and answer me::
    IF you had  had a close look at my screen shots before, you would have seeing I have classified the disc haveing and not having the problem  into three categories each of which has its screen shots under it.
    Blank Or Used(containg data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe is unable to be  read by optical drive
    Not Blank(containing data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON -Lightscirbe disc opens normal
    Blank CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON-lightscirbe opens normal(Opens like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD)::
    First The kind of discs I have been used to using, and seeing in the market are only:
    CD-R, C-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW.
    However, I never ever used or saw 'CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM CD-R DL, CD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, CD-RW DL, CD+RW DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+RW DL.
    Thus, Could you please be a little more detailed about each of the above disc types?
    Second: I don't know if I can see 'DVD+R DL' written on the cover of DVD like what I am accustomed to see 'DVD-R'?
    Third: What difference is there between 'DVD-RW', and 'DVD-RW DL', and 'DVD-R' and 'DVD-R DL'?

    NOTE, those discs are for HP Factory Recovery Discs.I have created those Discs via HP Recovery Manager.  After creating them, I have labelled them with lightscribe software. ALL LightScribe are not read well and are unknown. Thus, my answer for your question is No, I don't use compression software unless if the program 'HP Recovery Manager' used a compression built-in tool while creating those discs'
    Moreover, I have even restored my laptop from the HP factory Recovery discs which means everything must have been OK

    Have you seen my screen shots well?
    The key of my problem as to unable to reading LightScribe is the answer of this question of mine: Why do I see 'RAW' or 'unknown' as a file system for disc inserted whenever I insert a ligthSribe disc into drive?
    All Blank Or containing data CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe are unable to be  read by optical drive. When clicking on drive 'duble-click', I found it opens  like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player, however, 'with CD/DVD Player' is grayed out) When I chose 'like a USB FlashDrive, I found there was no disc inserted, although it was.
    If you mean other discs not LightScribe, then I would be saying YES. And they all worked well, except the lightscribe(Blank, or containing data) were not read well at all.(all are unknown).

    You mean I need to remove the optical drive and install on another laptop brand. If so, It would be compatible with any laptop brand?
    NOTE: the reason around this problem is not lightscribe discs(I think) since any optical drive without having a lightscribe feature can read lightscribe discs. For instance the Dell laptop(Windows 7) could read all lightscribe disc or non lightscribe discs, even although it doesn't have any lightscribe feature, nor a disc recording software, except the Windows built-in default  tools. Dell optical drive, although not having a lightscribe feature, read all discs no matter the disc type is. Thus, In my HP optical drive having a lightscribe feature, I have decided to get rid of (lightscribe feature by removing the lightscribe system software, and all Cyber DVD-Suite). However, the problem is still with reading lightscribe discs.

    Updating the BIOS
    First:: I have updated my BIOS from F.05 into F.1B by using HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) (sp55068) F.1B hoping to get rid of this problem, but that made no difference at all.
    NOTE
    Other suggested that I insert an empty rewritable CD and try running the following command: format e: /fs:UDF
    I did, but it didn't help.
    Other suggested to download the latest version LightSribe system software, but I would be saying how to do that as long as HP would be phasing out HP LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology. HP will gradually transition products to comparable optical disc drives without LightScribe technology.
    Second:: I've also been searching in HP forums, but always they said nonsense comments which I don't put up with. Take this one for example,
    I'd be happy to do all I can to help with your lightscribe.Please note:Beginning May 2011 and throughout the year, HP will be phasing out HP LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology. HP will gradually transition products to comparable optical disc drives without LightScribe technology. While this transition may affect other HP products, this document is specific to HP notebooks.- Source
    This might be helpful too; Creating disc labels with LightScribe
    NOTE:Hewlett-Packard's LightScribe website is no longer active. LightScribe software and disc utilities
    may be found on a number of public websites. Search the Internet for LightScribeto find these pages.
    This blurb and much more information can be found in the following document; Creating Disc Labels with LightScribe
    The compelet discussion is here.
    Finally I would be saying that LightScribe website is no longer available(discontinued). As HP said. IF HP customer care couldn't help their customers, I think it would be better to completely discontinue selling HP products.

    Could you please really concentrate with me, and really reply to me to finish this problem pending.
    If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

    However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
    or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
    Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
    as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc  drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

  • Bootcamp woes, unable to boot from USB and DVD drive reads all DVDs blank

    My partner and I are completely unable to install Windows using Bootcamp.  We have tried dozens of solutions on the internet.
    2011 iMac (purchased in by me and my partner 2012) reads all DVDs as blank.  We have (hilariously) another Mac, an MBP, that has the same exact problem.  You'd almost think "Superdrives" eventually just stop working or something.  So obviously we can't install Bootcamp on the iMac using a DVD.
    But what about a USB stick?  Well after modifying the plist file and writing a bootable Windows USB and trying to boot from that, we were greeted with the mysterious and apparently yet-unsolved "no bootable device" error. 
    So our iMac can't boot from USB drives or read DVDs.  We've only owned it for two years.  And this is the second Mac we've owned where the Superdrive has died.  And we don't even use DVDs more than like once a year.
    But anyway, can someone tell me what we're supposed to do if we want to install Windows aside from throwing money away to buy another Superdrive that is probably going to die again in a year?  Maybe a way to make our mac boot from our USB stick?  Something?
    Thanks.

     Should you have another drive with a MBR, use it to rule that issue out. Alternatively create a GPT on the flash drive and try to boot from it.
     What options are there for the usb controller/boot priorities/order/options? Does the laptop recognize the usb flash when already in bios setup? Should there be any form of choosing the device to boot, use that with the flash drive in the socket, then switch it with the external drive.

  • Can I obtain a CD-ROM with the latest revision of Adobe Reader for a Windows XP system w/ Service Pack 3. I do not want to go online with this system. I have dedicated it to read all of my PDF Files only.

    I have 4 computer systems, 2 of which run under Windows XP w/ Service Pack 3. I have dedicated these systems to the task of reading all of my PDF Files which I have collected from my recent college career. The desktop system I want to use is an old Dell Optiplex GX240 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. The other Windows XP system I have is an old HP Laptop with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 installed. I want to update both systems to the latest version that is available for Windows XP w/Service Pack 3 installed. So, because I do not want to place these system online, would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of the Adobe Reader software I need on a CD-ROM? - Ken DeWitt, a 68-Year-Young Vietnam Veteran and recent college graduate...Summa Cum Laude.

  • How to read all values of a queue

    Hi All,

  • I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread.  Yet I have read all the emails.  Still the iPhone thinks they are unread.  Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

    I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread.  Yet I have read all the emails.  Still the iPhone thinks they are unread.  Does anyone know how I can delete all of these emails at one time from the phone?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

  • Delete/read all in hub no longer works after update to 10.3.1.1581

    How long ago did you upgrade?
    The reason I asked how long ago, since you said "just upgraded", when I've upgraded and the accounts are syncing back, the Hub and deletes and mark read is all sluggish for, sometimes, up to 30 minutes afterwards, could be an hour according to what all is syncing and your data speed, on wifi or not, etc.
    Sometimes, I've even seen the delete and mark read icons not even present for an hour or so after.

  • I have read all of the similar issues on this site and I still cannot connect my airport extreme (although there is no problem with my old airport express - help...

    i have read all of the numerous and similar issues on this subject.  and i still cannot connect my new airport extreme.  my old airport express works fine still.  help.  and why are there so many issues with connecting this stuff?  i thought this stuff was supposed to be getting easier, not harder... thanks.

    Sorry, but I have no idea on what you have read and tried so far so please forgive me for any redundancy.
    Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? Which exact model is it? If there are other routers being used, please provide their make(s) & model(s). Also the make & model of your Internet modem.
    What is your goal with the Extreme? Is it to replace the "old" AirPort Express? Will you still be using the Express for any reason(s)?

  • I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage".

    I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage". I followed everything and check everything that was in it. It's still the same. I am still not able to send a photo. It started happening last week. It was fine before that. There is no error message.
    It will try to send but it will get stuck just before it sends
    and the red ! will appear with the "Not Delivered" status.
    When i tap on the !, it just says "This iMessage was not delived".
    No other message or photo is sending as the same time as the photo.
    I did reset it, I checked the email address, removed it as well. Turned it off then back on. Signed out and signed back in. Wi-Fi strength is very good. iOS is 6.0.1. I checked for updates, it is up-to-date I also checked a link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755. It did not help at all.
    What's wrong?!?!?!?!

    It is not a matter of reconsidering the decision. There are unsolveable technical problems with trying to run a program such as Firefox on Blackberry OS. We would need Blackberry to distribute a tool similar to Android's NDK to run on Blackberries.

    . You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

  • Equium P200 - DVD drive does not read all discs

    My DVD Drive has just started reading some discs and not others, also some of the discs are not read all the time, you can put a disc in click on the dvd drive and it'll open the drive and say insert a disk, device manager says device working properly and driver upto date.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Yes, terentino is right. Would be helpful if you could tell us which discs exactly work and which not. Maybe that would give the answer.
    Did you installed more than one burning application? Sometimes several installed burning applications could interfere with the other one since every application installs some kind of libraries with their own burning/driver engine to control the functions of your drive.

  • CD/DVD drive does not read all DVD formats and regions

    Hi
    My Teac-dw-224e-a does not read all DVDs formats and regions.
    It does read CDs but no DVDs at all.
    Not DVD-R and not even regular DVDs. I have checked the region of the DVD.
    I have reinstalled the driver and also tried with different software.
    What can I do?
    Please help!

    Hi
    It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
    In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
    Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.
