RE: CD/DVD Unable to read or write -Thinkpad z60 m

My operating system is Windows 7 my CD/ DVD ROM does not read nor writes any type of media, I have exhausted and implemented all the possible solutions I've gotten from the different forums but with no success. I ran the hardware test by PC Doctor on the Thinkvantage Toolbox and I the following test result : Unable to start the drive - SCSI Error 0904H. Does anybody have any solution for this problem?
Thank you
Maghid49

To malossi:
You dont have the similar problem because the user above cannot read and burn ONLY the original DVD movies!
> i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original);
In your case possibly the drive is dead or not compatible with the media (but I dont think so).
Check this Microsoft site for some general ideas:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321641/en-us
I have read also that someone was having this problem, and found that going into hardware profiles for the CD Rom that wasn't reading, clicking on the advanced tab, and selecting "PIO only" instead of "DMA if Available" worked in win XP sp2. Maybe you will try these.

Hi,
Unless you are using OCR (optical character recognition) software when doing the scan, the result of scanning a document is only an image, a picture of the document. Since you only have a picture of the document at this point, the only thing that you can do with it in Word is to insert the image into the document. As an image, you won't be able to edit or search the text that appears in the image. You need to run OCR software to examine the image and convert the images of the characters into editable text. If you are already using OCR software, reply back and let me know which application you are using, and I'll try to help you further.
Hope this helps,

OBIEE Writeback error - The system is unable to read the Write Back Templat

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up the write back feature for one of the reports. All the set up up including XML file in the custommessage folder is done.Ensured the webmessage name tag value (pmet_update) is same as the one used in the report write back template value etc.
Also the server is restarted after the latest XML file(as shown below) is copied after all type of debugging with similar threads on this matter.
But when i click on the update button in the report (button is highlighted), i'm getting the error
"The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'pmet_update'. Please contact your system administrator."
here is the xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert></insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Could you please help?

Hi,
I think that you have to spacify also an SQL statement for the update tag, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert> select null from dual</insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The witeback wants for both the tags (<insert></insert> and <update></update>) an SQL Statement.
For me it works.
Let me know!

Write Back Error The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'test

Write Back Error The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'test'. Please contact your system administrator. OK
But, the update button is on.
It did work and now it doesn't... nothing of course that we know of has changed. We got this message when we started and the name of the file was what we put as template name in obiee instead of webmessage name but the update button was off.... now we have update button on and same error.
File is on unix and we have made 777 so it's open to the world.

10g - write back - The system is unable to read the Write Back Template

hi,experts,
I enabled write back on a report.
the button (write back) is enabled (not grey)
but when I click the button, there is a message
The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'UPDATETESTWRITEBACK'. Please contact your system administrator.
I put UPDATETESTWRITEBACK.XML in C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\customMessages
the syntax in the xml is correct.
what is the result? any log to check?

Its not mandatory to have the same template name as your xml file name.
But the <WebMessage name= "UPDATETESTWRITEBACK"> should be same what the templetae you are using in the webcat.
Please find sampel xml which can have any xyz name in the folder "OracleBIData\web\msgdb\customMessages'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web.messageSystem">

I am trying to burn an Ubuntu DVD. Unfotunately, either if I introduce a DVD in the in-built Optiarc unit of my iMac or in an external DVD recorder, the iMac seems unable to execute the task correctly.
If I try to use the Disk Utility, the "Burn" button is not present.
If I use a different software, uch as Burn.app, the disk is toaast, but the iMac says it is unable to read the disk content.
Btw, I have downloaded the correct iso file of Ubuntu.
Any possible help?
Thanks

IPhone synch error "Unable to read or write to drive C:/".....HELP!

I keep getting this error when I am trying to synch my iPhone with iTunes. It just recently started. It starts to synch and transfer over the music I have bought on my phone then all of a sudden it gives me the error that it can't locate my drive C:/ and can't read or write to it. My C drive isn't full and I even deleted a bunch of stuff. I downloaded the new version of iTunes and have turned off the computer and the phone numerous times. Anyone else have this problem or suggestions??!!

Are you a local admin on the machine?

"unable to read or write to disk.."?

when i connect my ipod to my computer to put songs onto it, it acts like it is working and then a window pops up that says something about not being able to read or write to the disk. i've upgraded the software and reset my ipod, but still nothing.. plus now my ipod is completely empty.. and i've had it for over a year so the warranty is expired..

Does the message indicate any sort of "data error?" I don't remember how the Mac represents a data error, but my best guess is, sadly, a faulty hard drive. The Mini's hard drive is a tiny 1-inch Microdrive, which can be rather fragile especially if it's knocked around while it's spinning. You might try a disk utility that can perform a surface scan of th drive to see if this is the case; if it is, there's really no choice but to send it in for repair or get a buddy who's REALLY handy to put a new drive in. (mind you, it's NOT EASY!)

Unable to sync - getting error message unable to read or write to disk

Please help! I got this ipod for christmas and am unable to sync it. I have already restored factory settings, recovered it, restarted computer, went to hardware device manager and it says device is working properly - what do I do now?

Are you getting this exact text when you attempt to sync your iPod?:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "------" failed. Disk cannot be read from or written to."
If so, try looking through this article about that issue:

Unable to read or write to disc error message

Just received Ipod 5G 30G as a gift. I have had no problem transferring music, and have converted several tv shows to itunes using tivo software. When I try to transfer a show to ipod, it gets about 3/4 of the way finished and then gives me the cannot write or read to disc error. Have tried reloading everything, different USB ports and looking for conflicting software. No luck. Very frustrating. Can anyone please help make Christmas a little better....
Thanks,
Rick

ITune 9.0.2 Error "-69" and error "unable to read or write from iPod".

I have an iPod 64GB touch and i can't upload a big chunck of my music and photos since i upgraded my sw version of the iTune to 9.0.2.
I hate this new 9.0.2 version of the iTune, it's SH**.
so... how can i downgrade back to the latest 8.x.x version?

it's just tells me to erase every file that stops the sync, and that's a lot of my music
... ack. To be on the safe side, it would be a good idea to run a chkdsk on the drive that you have those content files stored on. There's a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
