Burned in wrong type? As there is DVD+RW and DVD-RW, if the drive can't handle both types, it can't read it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD
Also you have Blueray, double layer etc....
I think you burn in a format the drive doesn't understand, or the drive is broken.
Beware, CD and DVD have different lasers inside the drive, so while it can read CD, DVD may fail in total.
I doubt firmware is the problem, as the drive isn't that old.
The Optical Drive can handle the two types and more, the weird thing is it reads cd and dvd original, when i put cd or dvd generic its doesnt read and appear empty.. What is the problem please help me obtain a firmware please.

Thanks for your time

How to make MSI D16 (MS8216S) read DVD+RW disks

Greetings
I have MSI D16 drive, for the last 6 months. When I found out that it cant read the DVD+RW disks, I replaced it with the NEC Drive.
Since MSI havent released nothing since 2003. Why was this drive in strores in 2004?
Is there some beta firmware for this drive, so that it can read DVD+RW disks?
Best regards

I think your question is mainly directed on MSI with regards to the release of BIOSes. This is a mainly user to user forum help so here's how you can contact MSI.
Good Luck .

DVD drive doesnt read DVD-R discs on Mac G4/350 AGP?

Hi,
I noticed that my DVD-ROM drive can read a DVD+R and CD-R disc just fine, but when I stick in a DVD-R disc, it just ejects it. I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.
Is this normal that the DVD-ROM drive can only read in DVD+R discs? The Apple Spec page doesnt say much about this.

Hi-
Try downloading and installing the Patchburn Utility. It might help your media reading. I assume this is a disk that someone burned? Could be your drive doesn't like the media, itself, or the burn speed was too high for your 5x DVD=ROM to read.
If Patchburn doesn't help, may be time to move up to a more modern drive to replace your antique.....
There is a real nice,Pioneer DVR-112 replacement you might consider.

If you have Apple Care, then call them. If you do not have Apple Care, then you will be charged for "tech" service. You will come out cheaper if you try the solution that iVmichael mentioned. Or try the suggestions mentioned in the Help menu as those are free.

A205-S7464 DVD Drive doesnt read cds!

I have a A205-S7464 Laptop. running windows vista home edition sp1. my dvd drive doesnt read any cds! i dont know whats wrong. Could it be a driver issue? does it need to be updated or is the drive defective all together? the drive shows up in windows explorer and in the hardware devices it says its working properly! the drive is HD TS-L802A ATA. Driver 6/21/2006 ver. 6.0.6001.18000.
I just restored my system with the recovery disc. it read that fine. then i updated to vista sp1. didnt check if it read any cds before the update but doesnt read any cds now.... i think its a software issue the drive tries to read the cd but never actually reads it....

SD-2212 Drive doesnt read some DVDs - Satellite 1410

Hello every1,
I have Satellite 1410-604 for more than 2 years, with forementioned combo drive...
It serves me well, except that it doesnt read some of the types of dvd-medias, and I use only high quality Verbatim dvds...
It only happens in last few months. It is not my primary computer but it is at use in my home, and it really bugs me that when my sister or father takes the new Sattelite Pro A60 on the road(its battery is better) I cant use latest discs on this one. So if there is some firmware upgrade, cause i cant find it on this site...
Thanks in advance...

Hi
I dont think that the firmware update will solve this issue because this driver has recognized this DVDs a few times ago.
Furthermore I dont found any firmware for this drive on the Toshiba website.
But check if the drive removing procedure will solve this problem. So for this please go to device manger and remove the drive. After new booting the OS should recognize the drive again
Bye

Can Mac mini Core Solo read DVD+R DL discs?

Hi,
I couldn't find the exact specs for this model's DVD-ROM drive. I've read normal DVDs (4.3GB) before on this guy and it's okay.
Then I put some commercial video show DVD disc that I believe is DL (using Nero on a PC, I copied the DVD to hard drive and its size was about 7GB or so, so I figured it's a Dual Layer disc), and the mini seemed to mount it just fine.
Now I'm ready to burn my own DVD+R DL disc (up to 8.5GB I guess) from a PC and hopefully my DVD-ROM drive on this mini can read it...
Does anyone know for sure if this DVD ROM supports DL reading?? Apple's Spec just says "reads DVD," not much more.

Hey there Boece,
Yeah, I know the best way is to just, "try it."
But I guess I was lazy and figured that someone would
have already known the answer already and would
simply reply and give a definate answer.. I dont see
why Apple's Spec doesnt show this fact it can read DL
discs, it just says generically it can read
DVD-ROMs... Oh well. heh..
That's because commercial DVDs are commonly dual layer and mostly always have been. It's really only format and +/- compatibility that's a potential issue.
As for the login problem, glad to know it's just not
me.. pheew... sheez, it's such a pain in the butt, to
after login, you have to manevuer thru some more
pages to go back to the page where you can actually
post.. sheez.. Apple, fix this please!!
The L4/5 members have been bashing the ears of the hosts about this for ages now, and they're as fed up with it happening as we all are. It's been pointed out that not only is it inconvenient, but also may give users logging in the erroneous notion that their login has actually failed, and thus they can't (and don't) post. The issue was raised with the support engineers on Jun 20.
L4 member eww posted a fix that works for some in the Lounge (hence I can't link to it here), but here is what was said:
Without logging in, go to the Discussions main page. Drag the "Login" link in the right sidebar into a text editor window, where the URL text will appear. Delete the following text from the end of the URL:
%3FsuccessURL%3D%2Findex.jspa
Paste the remainder of the URL into your web browser and bookmark it. Hit Enter to log into Discussions with no error message.
The reason I'm not posting the whole URL is that I believe it contains AppleID info that's particular to each user.
This has been working flawlessly for me ever since the problem arose. It happened that I was already using the truncated URL as my login bookmark — I have no recollection of how or when I arrived at it, but it has certainly spared me the annoyance so many others have expressed here.

MEGA 865 Deluxe with MSI DR8-A 8x8 DVD±R/±RW Writer

Hi everyone,
I am just about to put this box together, please advice..
Heard any compatibility issue on this one? IE, ejecting problems or loosing functionality in PC or HIFI mode? or any issues at all....
MEGA 865 Deluxe with MSI DR8-A 8x8 DVD±R/±RW Writer
It will be a bummer if I go put this together and it doesnt work properly. That will be money down the tube.
Thanx.

I have the same box and optical device. I have yet to get an audio CD to play completely through in HiFi mode. It will play for 3 to five minutes and then quits, LCD reads No Disk. I can get it to start up again with no problems but it only plays a few minutes at a time. It works fine in PC mode both in playing Audio CD's and DVDs so I am guessing that my problem lies in Hi Fi circuitry/or wires. I believe you should be able to use the 865 in Hi Fi mode without O/S, Memory, or even a CPU. Good luck.

Help, I have a used imac not reading dvd/cd

I bought i mac from a school replacing with newer ones. Doesnt read any cd/dvd. tried cleaning lense, disk utility and clearing caches. before i look into a usb external dvd drive is there a possibility dvd/cd use was prohibited. i do not have the installation disk. have os x 10.4.11 with 1.83 Ghz intel core 2 duo processor.

I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
Hope this helps.

MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD won't work

Hello, I've just purchased the parts to construct an entirely new computer, and I've chosen MSI Z77A-G41 motherboard. I put everything together, and I loaded Win XP on, and my plan is to upgrade to Win 8 during their special offer. I needed to go into Setup and change the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, so that I could install XP. Once I had XP up and running, I inserted the MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD to load all of the drivers. However, when I put the disc in, it auto-runs, the driver/utility screen is shown 'blacked out' and I immediately receive a Windows error message: "DVD Setup Application" error. I went in through Windows Explorer to the programs on the DVD, and found DVD setup. By trying to run this from within Explorer, it takes me to the same error as when I auto-run.
The only thing I can think of is that I need to change something else in Setup, to run Win XP because it's so old? I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the new DVD burner, because I've used it to install XP, and also to extract and install Service Pack 2 and 3 (which I downloaded on another computer and transferred on a CD). If I knew exactly what needed to be installed from the MSI DVD, I could try doing it from within Windows Explorer. But, I'd still like to figure out what the Setup Application error message is telling me.
Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A further note before I head off to bed. I was able to install Win XP service packs 2 and 3 using my new burner, and I've activated with Microsoft and downloaded and installed 117 updates. I have now used this same DVD burner that won't recognize or work with the MSI driver/utilities DVD, to install all of the drivers for my video card---that DVD auto-ran just fine. So, after doing some searches on Google about the "DVD Setup Application" error, not a lot of help but most people say that if another DVD will spin up and load things OK---it must be the fault of the DVD that won't load. In other words, I don't think that there's a problem with anything in the Setup on the motherboard.
So, if anyone has any further ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to contact MSI tomorrow and see about a replacement DVD. Thanks.

MSI GT660R issue

Okay... So here is the deal... I have a MSI GT660R that I got two years ago and I m absolutely PLEASED with it! However... I have an issue now and was hoping for some idea as to what it may be.....
The notebook was working fine until recently... I let it fall asleep one day and when I booted it back up the screen was black but I could still see the images and words faintly on the screen... I figured it was the LED lights and sent the laptop to have the screen replaced locally as my warranty for my notebook is up...
Today I picked I back up an the guy said the new screen worked fine... He booted it up and again the screen was black.... This time he tried the old screen and it started to work again.... I brought it home ( free of charge since I did not take the new screen) and the screen went black again!!! I also noticed that the half-moon that lights up when it sleeps is always lit and flashes occasionally.
I have tried unplugging it, removing the battery and holding the power button for 60 seconds and that did not help.... Could someone please tell me what is going on???

rmaed and got a working 6850 6 months after the card stopped working rmaed it got it as itis back so rmed it again got the same back the card work for a week again not working rmaed it again got the same card back after 1 month the card still not working
700 watt thermaltake
So many "faulty" cards lead to bad PSU.
p.s.
GTX 560 is better than 6850 and 5830.
Why don't you stick with the Nvidia card?
p.s.2
Switching from AMD to Nvidia all the time (due to "faulty" cards) is a very bad move.
Probably your OS is already messed up.

Satellite A60-302: CD drive read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd drive. It can read dvds and discs that I buy but it wont read all burned discs (even ones that I burned with the laptops own burner). Only from time to time it will read a burned disc.
I have tried cleaning the cd drives laser eye but it didnt help.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Hi
This sounds like the CD burner doesnt burn CD properly.
You have suggested that you have used different kinds of CDs.
In the user manual you will find a list of compatible medias.
These medias was tested and should works properly.
But if this happens with all CDs so possibly the drive cannot works properly and only a replacement could solve this issue.
