Satellite 2450-114 : Non readable DVD-RW with SDR-6012 DVD drive

Hello,
I have bought Verbatim DVD-RW (media code : MCC 01RW4X) but it cannot be read by the Toshiba SD-R6012 DVD drive of my Satellite laptop 2450-114.
However I have the latest official firmware which is the number 1334.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thank you
Best regards.

Can your notebook read original DVDs (movies) or maybe DVD-R medias?

Satellite A100-785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive issue

Hello Friends,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:
1.87 Ghz C2D, 1 Gb Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...
Issue: Its been quite long, i m facing a certain problem with my Optical Drive. When ever I insert an CD which is originally produced by any company it works fine. The moment I insert any CD which is personally burned with some data from any normal CD/ DVD writer or the CDs which were previously created by the same laptop mentioned above, its been read as a blank disc. The data of the disk is not shown.
For eg: Lets say if I insert any software cd like my webcam's cd or my printer's cd they can be read normally and work fine. But the moment I enter any cd which is been burned by me which contains my personal files, that is been read as a blank disc.
This issue does not exists with any of the DVDs. Doesn't matter which every dvd I insert either being a normal software dvd or being the one which is burned as a personal data dvd, everything works fine and all the data in dvd can be read.
I have tried reinstalling the driver, I have tried reformatting my laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD provided with the laptop, but the issue still exists.
In between few months ago, I tried doing some tweak, like first i insert the cd in the drive and then disable the cd drive and then enabling it again would actually read the cd. But after few tries, this also stopped working.
Now I really have no idea what should I do to make my CDs work normally.
I hope this post can help me out.
Your help will be appreciated
Thanks for your precious time
Regards
Jeetendra

For me it sounds like a DVD, where the data has been burned, were not fully compatible.
I meet such issue on different computers. A friend of mine has had the similar problem with an non Toshiba notebook. Its matter of the disks which are used for burning.
I tested several brands and now Im using TDK and Verbatim because my CD/DVD drive supports these kind of disk properly.
Of course it could be an hardware issue too but in such case you will need to replace the CD/DVD drive

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

Satellite M30 - restore from external DVD Drive

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the internal DVD Multi Drive - the replacement will take a month or so to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I have connected an external DVD drive to the machine. When I boot up the machine boots from the recovery CD but then seems to be looking for a drive X. I get the following messages on the DOS screen:
Device Name : TOSCD001
Number of Units: 1
CDR101: Not ready reading drive X
Abort,Retry,Fail?
Please insert Recovery CD-ROM #1!
What should I be doing?
Regards,
Sameer

Hello Sammer
Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used from internal drive only. I dont believe that you will be able to use it with external device. On recovery CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to arrange it for usage with external device.

Satellite A660 - Not finding external DVD drive

Hey guys. Newbie posting out of total desperation and needing help! I have posted in other forums with no luck. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD Drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.
I cannot get Windows 7 to find it! When I plug in the USB cable the balloon comes up to say it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then it drops off. It isnt listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in Disk Management or My Devices so it isnt a case of changing the drive letter - I cant find the drive to change it. I have also tried to find the upper and lower settings in regedit. Couldnt find them so couldnt delete them as advised in other posts of this nature.
It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are fine. Its gotta be a Windows 7 problem cause it does show up very breifly. In the minute or 2 its there I cant do anything with it. It just hangs although it will open and close. Ive googled it and cant find anything. Mainly registry issues but they didnt help.
Ive also connected it up to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works fine and all the cables are ok. Ive tried in all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also turned off all energy settings. All with no luck. And I also have every Windows 7 update.
Heres exactly what happens from power off on the enclosure.
1 - I plug in the USB lead then turn on power to the enclosure.
2 - I quickly go to Start, and I can see the DVD Rom drive E next to my laptops dvd rom.
3 - The green bar at the top starts filling up from left to right and gets about half way then suddenly the DVD Rom icon disappears and so does the green bar.
4 - It then flashes up under the laptops DVD Rom icon with a Local Disk drive E but only for a split second.
5 - Sometimes a balloon comes up saying installing device, then device successfully installed...but not every time.
And thats it. I'm at a total loss and cant work it out, so any help is really appreciated!

Hi Smee,
So if you have already connected the external drive to another computer and this worked properly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility issue between your external DVD drive and and your Satellite A660
It will be connected to USB port so have you tried to remove all USB ports from device manager? After this you should restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized from device manager automatically. Furthermore I would also try updating the chipset driver. Newest version you can download on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

Satellite L750 - Windows 8 Upgrade - DVD Drive Missing

I upgraded to Windows 8, after a short while I found the DVD wasn't displayed in windows explorer and devices. I had seen this before on another laptop and installing the Win 8 SATA drivers seemed to cure it.
I have gone to the driver section on the Toshiba site for this model and there are none for SATA. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a fix or the Win 8 SATA drivers for this model please?

Satellite A200-195: What CD/DVD drive is compatible?

Hey Guys and gals,
I have had a look and asked Toshiba but no answer given so thought I would ask the experts here.
My DVD RW in my laptop TS L632D Has died and I need a new one.
So what one can I buy and fit without problems.
These drives are known to have issues with conflicts etc... so a different drive would be better.
So what do you guys and gals suggest.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi
Thank you very much that you are seeing us as experts :)
We all here are Toshiba notebook users and as you probably dont know this is a user-to-user forum. :) so maybe not really experts ;)
To be honest its not known to me that this CD/DVD drive causes issue.
As you probably dont know every CD/DVD drive doesnt support all possible CDs or DVDs from different manufacturers.
Some CDs and DVDs are more compatible and some CDs or DVDs are not fully compatible.
However, the point is that you need a new CD/DVD drive.
I checked the A200 user manual (can be downloaded from the Toshiba page) and there is a list with some compatible drives.
Check the user manual page 6 and 7
You can also call the ASP in your country. The guys known what CD/DVD drives are compatible with your notebook!
Bye

Satellite X200-21W - Does multi DVD drive have labelfash and securedisc?

I have an Satellite X200-21W Modell Nr. : PSPB9E-03U01WGR with the multidvd TS-L632H.
My question
Does this drive have labellash and securedisc, or only one of those, or nothing
Thx for your support

Unfortunately, I didn't find any details about the Labelflash burning technology but from my knowledge only the Sony NEC Optiarc, TEAC, Quanta Storage, und Pioneer drives supports this Labelflash burning technology.
The TSST TS-L632H is no listed as a supported product so I think it doesn't support the Labelflash but *Lightscribe*.
Best regards

System recovery on Satellite M100 due to CD/DVD drive not being recognised

Hi.
My computer won't recognise the internal CD/DVD drive anymore (eg. if I go to rip a CD with Media Player it says to install a CD drive first).
I have followed the FAQs on the Toshiba support page, and it has lead me to do a System Recovery. I followed the instructions (switch off, start up while holding "0", release 0 when computer beeps ...) but it isn't working.
The comp starts beeping as expected, but when I let go of "0" it just starts up windows as normal.
Can anyone help? Do I need to do the recovery with a CD instead? Obviously that will be a problem if the drive doesn't work though :(

So... after months of trying to fix this issue it would make sense that less than an hour after I've put a post asking for help, the thing would fix itself for no reason.
Yep. Seems to be working now. I have no idea why :/

DVD burns & non-readable DVD's

(moderators - please relocate this question to appropriate place, this seemed the best spot)
I'm having trouble getting freshly burned DVD's to mount it the two newest macs that we have in-house:
- Dual 1.25 Ghz G4 tower 'mirror door', running OS 10.3.9, 1.25GB RAM
- iMac 1.8 Ghz G5, running OS 10.3.9, 768GB RAM
I burn DVD's on our Dual 2Ghz G5 Server (running Server 10.3.9)
these DVD's sometimes mount (after a looooong wait) or not at all
same DVD that fails will mount on our old 400GHz G4 'YIKES' ???
same DVD will mount on the server
Is the DVD firmware in OS X Server 10.3.9 different from the one in OS X 10.3.9
solutions??
- is there a DVD firmware upgrade somewhere on the apple site (I check the upgrades religiously)
- can it be a bad batch of DVD's (seems really, really iffy)
suggestions anyone?

Hello Debbie,
did you create the disk image? If so, did you test it with DVD Player?
If the disk image plays fine in DVD Player, the problem is in the burn pocess itself. What DVD media did you use and at what speed did you burn? You might want to try another brand - Verbatim DVD-R is first choice around here, but Ritek and Taiyo Yuden also make very good discs.
You also need to make sure the DVDs are compatible with slow burning (e.g. 1-4x). Try burning at the slowest possible speed (1x if possible).

Another thing you can try is a cleaning disc. Burners get a little dusty over time and if the lens is not perfectly clean, that might lead to burn errors.

Satellite L300 - after Win8 load DVD drive is not working

I have just loaded Windows 8 on my Satellite L300. The DVD no longer works with an error message 39 it says the driver is corrupt. Also external attached DVD's are not recognised. I cannot find a driver to reload.
Any suggestions.
Regards

Check this article:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletinDetail.jsp?pf=true&soid=3516888
If the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator or TOSHIBA Disc Creator are installed on the HDD, there might be a issue between Win 8 and mentioned software
So uninstall these tools, then restart your PC using the Power-->Restart option in Windows 8. Your CD/DVD should be accessible now.

Satellite A200-1M8 PAE6E: CD/DVD drive issue - power calibration error

Hi,
I have an Satellite A200-1M8 ( or A200 PAE6E ) with Vista and for some time I've been trying to burn some dvds which I failed due to power calibration error.
I tested my DVD-ROM and it works normally, the problem is it does not read (recognise) every dvd.
Is there anyone who can help me out about this?
Or how can I learn which type of media my DVD-ROM would read?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I think I have founded an interesting article for you:
[Is there a list of supported type of CD-R/-RW or DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs which should be used?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=36]
But generally a power calibration error means that its the media is faulty or not compatible with the drive.

Satellite A105-S1013: Need CDW/DVD drive original firmware?

I flashed the wrong firmware model of my CDW/DVD optical drive and now the drive is not being recognized by WinXP. It simply vanished...
I would like to re-flash the correct original firmware for this drive.
The drive is a TSST model TS-L462C TO10.
Can anybody help me locate the original firmware for this drive model?
I know the firmware are very model specific and are not interchangeable.
I searched all Toshiba/Samsung sites to no avail.
Tks in advance for any help...

Thanks, but unfortunately none of these sites offers a TS-L462C TO10 firmware - they offer other models.
I am under the impression this is a rather new firmware code which has not been widely divulged yet. My computer is rather new ( 3 months since I bought it).
Anybody has or knows who has this firmware ??
Thanks

Can i use ANY external CD/DVD drive with the NEW mac mini?

We just got the newest Mac Mini and want to get an external drive for importing and burning CD's and DVD's.
Can we use ANY external CD/DVD drive or do we NEED to use the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive."
Thanks
Eliot

Maybe.
I've had some situations where a non-Apple DVD drive would not do a particular job. When I tried the same project with the Apple SuperDrive everything worked perfectly.
This is an area where I would not try to save money.
