My DVD-CD Rom dose not work on my Satellite A205-S4639

The DVD/CD ROM drive on my A205-S4639 does not work when I load no matter what kind of CD or DVD media disc.
My drive recocnized on my pc and in the device manager as well with no problem, but when ever I load blank CD or any soft ware CD it would not recocnize it period! any idea or help will be appreciated.

DVD ROM is not working on Satellite P300

Im running Vista Home premium and my DVD drive (TS-L633A) is not working on a Satellite P300-18M
when I check in device manager the dvd has a '!' next to it and a error message of 'Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)'
I have tried downloading the latest drivers from the toshiba site and reinstalling it but it still fails. I have removed it from device manager and restarted the laptop but still no joy.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey,
I agree what Horwath wrote. I had the same problem few days ago and so I removed the upper and lower filters in registry and restarted the computer. After this I was able again to use my CD/DVD drive :)
I hope it works for you too and any feedback would be nice!

Satellite A30 - CD-ROM does not work properly

My CD ROM does not work properly because of corrupted drivers. I have tried uninstalling etc. How do you load new drivers or even reformat from the recovery disc when the CD ROM drive won't work?
Seems like catch 22. Anyone help?

If it is really a problem with the drivers for your CD-Rom, you can recover it.
Because you need to boot your Notebook with the Recovery CD/DVD.
This has nothing to do with missing drivers in the Windows Operating System.
And if you can not boot with the Recovery Disc, I would say your Disc drive is broken.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to restore if CD-ROM is not working anymore?

I have a Satellite A45-S250 (Jan 2004) with XP SP3, still working, but the built-in Pioneer DVR-K120 CD-ROM has stopped reading any CD's. No FDD. Available boot options HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, LAN. No USB option.
I have made Drive Image PQ-backups every now and then on USB-HDD's, but it needs a bootable CD to restore drive C: (as all System Restore disks need).
The computer acted a bit funny lately and I tried to use the Windows System Restore but no one of 5 restore points succeeded.
What options do I have to get the system back to an earlier date when the CD-ROM does not work?
I have uninstalled the CD-ROM drivers and tried to install new drivers from the Toshiba website without success.
Same drivers still there and the CD-Rom tries a lot without success. Only Eject works.
I have tried to investigate the LAN boot option but have not found instructions that I understand to use.
Do you (or anybody) have instructions (and experience) how to boot from LAN ?
It would help to load the USB drivers so that I can use my separate USB CD-ROM writer to get the bootable CD to work and get the stored image back to C:, or use the factory restore disks.
I have 3 other computers with XP networked with this Toshiba on a wireless Netgear router.
At boot with LAN option it shows my MAC and needs some input. What should the input be?
Or should I buy a new internal CD-ROM? Which type would fit in this laptop?
Since this is a general question that many must have had (or are going to get), I am sure that an easy fix would be available. I am looking for some help.

Welcome to recovery disk **bleep**, I can use the company.
If the CD won't work, you pretty much have a problem. In your case I suspect this is one of two things:
1. Device driver problems, or
2. Your CD has died
Before doing anything else, try Control panel, System, Hardware, Device Manger. On the View menu, click the "show hidden devices". Uninstall all the drivers for any CD drives shown, and while you are at it uninstall the IDE / ATA controllers. Shut down the computer, then restart. Windows will load and "rediscover" all the devices you just deleted. Sometimes that works. If it still doesn't work go back into the Device Manager and see if there is a yellow exclamation point on the CD-ROM that could point to a resource conflict. The driver details for the yellow objects will give you some hints on what to look for.
If not, you may have a failing CD drive. However, before you despair totally, it might just be a connector problem. I don't know your model, but most CD's slide out by pressing a moveable tab on the bottom of the case, or by removing a single screw. Remove the CD drive (it will just slide out). Say a small prayer. Reinsert the CD, giving it a firm shove with your thumbs when you do. If it was just a loose connector, you might get lucky and reseat it successfully. Also, check the lens on the CD for dirt / dust / last weeks lunch. The lens can be cleaned with a special CD cleaner, or a cotton swab with some alcohol.
If the CD is well and truly dead, you have two options. FIrst, you can obviously replace the CD. Your friendly computer store will have a replacement and they are not terribly expensive. You might need to reuse the Toshiba mounting rails and bezel to get it back in your unit the same way, but those are normally easy to change with a screwdriver.
The other option is to put the recovery disk in a USB attached CD-ROM drive and see if you can boot that way. Obviously you will need to physically remove the other drive, and maybe play with the BIOS boot priority (from Toshiba HW Setup in Control Panel) so that it boots from the CD first and not the HDD. Some Toshiba models let you temporarily tweak this by pressing "C" or "F12" at power on instead of using the setup utility (try that first).

Take it to an Apple store to be repaired. The screen will need to be replaced as just the camera can't be replaced by itself. If it a newer unit and or you have Applecare and it is less then 3 years old it will be covered by the warranty. If it is older and or you do not have Applecare then the repair will be at your expense.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

When you say DVD drive is not working and cant detect disks, Is the Optical drive listed in Device manager and My computer? Is not reading any specific disks or all kinds of disks ?
Also have you tried all possible troubleshooting steps found over here
