Satellite A200 - Need driver for CD/DVD drive

Hey folks.
Recently installed WXP Pro on my A200 PSAEC laptop, so I'm now dual booting XP and Vista on my laptop.
Problem is, I've got all the drivers working on XP and everything's running perfect, but when I tried to burn a DVD, Nero says the recorder can't burn DVDs. In "My Computer" the drive shows as a DVD-RW drive, but when I insert a blank DVD, it says CD Drive. The drive shows up as "TCSDcor' CD/DVDW TC-L6#2D" in device manager. I've searched around for a driver, but can't find an exact match for that drive and there's no optical drive drivers on this Toshiba site driver section. The only thing I've found is an executable file for upgrading the firmware, but it throws an error saying it's the wrong drive.
Anyone got any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Toshiba European driver page provides three different firmware updates for Satellite A200 PSAEC series:
TO02 for CD/DVD drive TS-L632
TO02 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632P
(This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
TO03 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632H
(This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
Im not quite sure what TO0$ means but I think the sign $ is only a free variable parameter (place marker).
If you want to check your current firmware then you could check it using the Nero Info Tool

  • OS 9 Driver for retrofitted DVD drive

    Hello,
    I have a dual CPU 533 mhz G4 with OS 10.4.10 installed. It will run classic mode and will also boot from OS 9.2.2, which is still on the hard disk.
    The machine has been retrofitted with a "Super Drive," possibly made by Pioneer. It reads and writes CDs and DVDs. "About this computer" won't give me the name of a manufacturer.
    The DVD drive works fine in OS X. Classic and OS 9 won't recognize it, though, presumably because OS 9 needs a driver for it.
    I want to run an application that won't work unless Classic or OS 9 recognizes the drive and finds the CD mounted on the desktop.
    What are my chances of finding a driver for the DVD drive and successfully installing it? How would I identify the right driver if I don't know the manufacturer of the drive?
    I thought about making a disk image of the CD, in OS X, then using that in place of the CD in OS 9 or classic. I couldn't figure out how to make an image, though. Disk Utility in OS X doesn't seem to have that ability. I might have an OS 9 utility that could do it, but OS 9 can't see the drive.
    Is that likely to succeed? If so, how to do?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Hey folks,
    Sorry about the late reply. I hope it gets noticed, somehow.
    "About this Mac" shows the following information about the drive:
    ATAPI DVD DD 2X16X4X16:
    Model: ATAPI DVD DD 2X16X4X16
    Revision: G7Z9
    Serial Number: 99B5C1520144445601SP
    Detachable Drive: No
    Protocol: ATAPI
    Unit Number: 0
    Socket Type: Internal
    The markings on the front of the drive drawer are strictly generic. I haven't removed it from the case, yet. That's sort of a hassle.
    Does this give any clues about how to ID the drive?
    Come to think of it, I don't really remember where this drive came from.
    Don Archibald wrote that the following items should appear in the OS 9 system folder.
    •Extensions Manager -
    Apple CD/DVD Driver
    •Extensions folder -
    Apple Photo Access
    Audio CD Access
    Foreign File Access
    ISO 9660 File Access
    UDF Volume Access
    All are absent. I guess that would explain the problem.
    I'll try to find these files and install them. I'll get back to you if it doesn't work.
    Thanks a bunch.

  • Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - CD/DVD drive failure code 39

    Hi,
    I have been burning and watching DVDs on my Satellite A200-1vp, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks ago.
    Suddenly there's a problem, no response when I load a disc and my divx player tells me no recorder found.
    When I search in the device manager I get the message " windows cannot load the driver for this hardware" (code 39) " driver is corrupted or missing".
    I tried uninstalling it and using the Toshiba upper/lower limit filter repair tool but on restart it still failed to install.
    Should i try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and loose a lot of unbacked up programs/files, as last resort?
    Would that work?
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Here is an interesting Microsoft knowledge article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us
    You should firstly access the device manager and should remove the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
    Then should access the registry and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Reboot the notebook and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!

    Turns out there is a firmware update to that drive. Maybe it helps.

    You can reinstall the driver by uninstalling it in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and rebooting.

  • Unable to alternate internal DVD RW drive for external DVD driv

    Hi,
    Please call me Yogie.
    I have a G4 computer issue.
    I have a Mac computer (G4-500mhz dual) with a Pioneer super drive. It has failed, to the point where it won't read dvd's. I've purchased an external dvd-cd burner (lacie) and when I want to record photos from Idvd, the Pioneer super drive tray will open for dvd insertion, but doesn't recognize the dvd. I need to override the Pioneer superdrive, so I can use the Lacie dvd rw drive. How can I do that ?
    Thanks

    Hi Yogie:
    Welcome to discussions!
    How is that LaCie drive formatted? You must use HFS+ to store iMovie files, not FAT32(DOS) or Unix.
    Connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). You'll see your external drive in Disk Utility's side bar; select it and then click the Erase tab at the top. From the Volume Format menu select which type of formatting you want (most likely Mac OS Extended-Journaled) and then click the oval Erase button at the lower right.

  • I need an update for my DVD Drive HP & not rely on Microsoft

    I am having a HP DVD problem & i tend to disagree if ya say that my DVD drive (HP DVD RW AD-7586H)  needs replacing. My dvd drive works when it wants to (Has a mind of its own). The latest update for my DVD Drive is 21/06/2006 (7+ year old way out of date driver). Ive uninstalled my DVD Drive & re-installed after bootup & that didnt do nothing & i have used quite a few programs to update my driver (Driverbooster, DriverScanner etc) & there is never, ever an update for my DVD Drive via DriverBooster, DriverScanner or my HP Suppoort Assistant. EVER. If HP can give me a BIOS update, why dont you send me a DVD Drive update via me HP Support Assistant HP????  Well i think its a bout time HP should create an update to fix all DVD problems instead of relying on Microsoft to fix it. If my DVD Drive was Windows well i'd use the microsoft Fixits, but considering its a HP DVD drive , i think HP should fix the problem, not Microsoft.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    What you see in divice manager is the control driver for the dvd drive, what you are really needing to look at is the firmware version on your dvd drive & see if a newer firmware is available.
    Generally a lot of faults even intermitant ones are more hardware than firmware, drives are very cheap though & a 2 minute job to replace if needed plus you can source a better quality drive & spec as desired.
    i think KH21 is newest firmware for that dvd drive.

  • Need inputs regarding the dvd drive on primary ide channel.

    Specs:
    Motherboard: MSI P35 Neo3 (MS-7935 1.0)
    CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E6550
    Memory: Team Elite DDR2800 (2x1GB Dual Channel)
    Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache (SATA)
    Optical drive: LG GSA-H55L (IDE only) Firmware version 1.02
    Graphics card: Gecube HD3870
    Chipset: Intel P35/G33/G31 (Rev. A2)
    Southbridge: Intel 82801IB (ICH9)
    LPCIO: Fintek F71882F
    BIOS: AMI V1.1 (11/07/2007)
    Hello,
    Almost all new motherboards today only have a primary ide channel and the rest are SATA.
    I need inputs regarding the dvd drive which is shown in device manager as located on the primary ide channel while the hard drive is located on the secondary channel. Because I would like to update the dvd drive to the latest firmware (version 1.06; to be able to recognize more blank media) but the LG site recommends that the drive (dvd) be located on the secondary ide channel.
    I already tried to uninstall every channel from the device manager but all would still be the same after reboot, dvd drive on primary, hard drive on secondary.
    Current ide mode in BIOS is set to AHCI+IDE mode, DMA modes are fine (UDMA4 for dvd, UDMA5 for hard drive), boot sequence (1st=HD, 2nd=DVD, 3rd=Floppy drive)
    Tried switching to IDE mode only in BIOS but would not detect the optical drive. Never tried RAID+IDE mode since I only have a single hard drive.
    I'm not sure but if I try to update the firmware, it might instead try to update the hard drive's firmware instead of the optical drive and make the hard drive unusable.
    I would like to know if anybody with this same situation was able to successfully update the optical drive's firmware or is there some way to place the optical drive on the secondary ide channel and the hard drive on primary for me to follow and replicate the process.
    Thank you for any replies.

    Thanks sir NovJoe for the reply.
    Just received the solution from another forum where I posted the same problem.
    They said that the flash program for the firmware will detect the drive on its own and would not flash other devices except the optical drive itself. So its pretty safe, and I can confirm this since I just flashed my ODD a little over a while ago and everything went fine. No errors.
    Though I'm speaking for the brand of ODD I own and may be different for other brands so take precautions as well. It may be different for the others.

    That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

  • HT3986 Windows installation asks to insert a driver for CD/DVD

    When the installation of Windows 7 starts it asks for a driver for CD/DVD player. Can't find it on the drivers apple provided on my USB stick (downloaded with boot camp). How can I fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    I had this problem, and as you have probably found yourself, if you keep trying it eventually works. By 'works', I mean that you get to a window showing the partitions on the disc, but stating that the Bootcamp partition is not correctly formatted (NTFS). On my system (MacOS LIon) this is dealt with by the Bootcamp documentation, and you click on a link to get the option to format the partition ... and then it is (relatively) plain sailing.

  • Read this for CD/DVD Drive with burning, missing drives, not seeing discs

    Seeing lots of the same posts with the same solutions being applied (mostly upper/lower control filters/MS Fixit)... so I thought I'd put this up for everyone.
    *Update* If this helps, please click the kudos to the right as I'm trying to gauge how effective this is. If you have the time to help the community, please reply stating what did or did not work.
    There are some helpful HP support articles that you may want to try before posting:
    If your drive cannot burn discs... or you can burn CDs but not DVDs (or vise/versa)... read this...
    Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows 7)
    Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows Vista)
    Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows 98, ME, XP)
    Summary:
    1) Try different discs! Cheap discs can be hit or miss. Find a disc brand and type that works best.
    2) Try burning at a slower speed (not the best option, but can often get the job done if the laser is fading).
    3) Remove drive from Device Manager and remove upper/lower filters (see below).
    4) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
    5) Use PC-Doctor/HP Hardware Diagnostic software to check for a bad drive.
    6) If the drive is not bad - save your files and use HP Recovery to put the system back to the beginning.
    If your drive cannot read discs; CDs or DVDs or both...
    Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows 7
    Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows Vista
    Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows 98, ME, and XP  
    Summary:
    {restart the PC at least once to see if the drive shows up on boot}
    1) See if the drive is listed in Device Manager (look for problems if it is).
    2) Check autoplay (skip if you don't use).
    3) Make sure a bad disc isn't knocking out the drive (an operating system mounts discs as drives and things can get screwed up).
    4) Try reading the disc from a command prompt environment (outside of Windows).
    5) Reinstall drive from Device Manager (if drive is listed). {I'd replace this with bigger process of remove upper/lower filters (see below)}.
    6) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
    7) Use PC-Doctor/HP Hardware Diagnostic software to check for a bad drive.
    CD/DVD drive is missing (not in Windows Explorer or My Computer or in burning software)...
    CD/DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows 7)
    CD/DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows Vista)
    CD or DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows 98, ME, or XP)
    Summary:
    1) See if the drive is listed in Device Manager (troubleshoot based on what you see).
    2) Reset Power: Unplug power cord, press Power button for 10 seconds.
    3) Check power and data cables attached to the drive and look in the BIOS for the drive name.
    4) Remove upper/lower filters (see below).
    5) Reinstall burning software
    6) Get and CD/DVD drive firmware updates if available (to prevent missing drives in the future (I assume)).
    7)  Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
    Stuck Drawer...
    Opening a Stuck CD or DVD Drive Tray
    Summary:
    1) Press eject button on case, on drive, button on keyboard (if exists).
    2) Right-click drive icon in Windows and select Eject.
    3) Turn off PC and inert a straightened paper clip into the manual release hole on the drive.
    4) Check the power cord on the back of the drive.
    MS FIXit, Resetting Upper and lower Filters (XP, Vista and 7)
    First... try to use the MS Fixit (for Vista) if you are on the computer having the problem)...
    Microsoft Fix it Solution
    Otherwise, here are the manual steps (overview):
    1) Uninstall the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and DO NOT RESTART the computer. 
    2) Uninstall your CD burning software (make sure you have the installation disc or you can resinstall from Start, Programs, PC Help and Tools, Recovery Manager (or Driver/Application Recovery). If you don't have the installation discs, skip this step - it might still work).
    3) Open the registry editor (Start -> Run -> enter Regedit) ... might want to make a backup of the registry at this point.
    4) Open the following keys:
     + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
     + SYSTEM
     + CurrentControlSet (or the current control set with lowest number if that is all that is listed)
     + Control
     + Class
    5) Select 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318. It has to be this exact key - make sure you can see the last numbers!!!
    6) Delete the UpperFilter and or the LowerFilters value in the right window if either exists.
    7) RESTART the computer - this step is important. Wait for Windows to find and install the CD/DVD drive you removed earlier.
    8) Reinstall your burning software and restart the computer again.

  • Why won't my Intel iMac boot up, either from the internal hard drive or the DVD drive? It just displays a light grey screen, without any other icons, etc. The fact that it won't boot from the original system DVD is what baffles me the most. Any ideas?

    If the C key for Install Disc or R Command for OS X Recovery startup commands are not working, try holding the Option key for the Startup Manager.
    see > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
    If that does not work and you using a wireless keyboard, it may have become unpaired and you need to dig up a USB keyboard to invoke the startup commands.

  • I need the front plastic cover for my DVD drive

    The DVD drive is from a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4757 (PSAEGU-01100U) and I lost the plastic that goes on the front of the drive. The guys at toshiba say they don't carry spare parts, but I know that the part exists somewhere. I just need to find it :).

    Hmm i doubt they are available separately since there is no generic size. Each ODD manufacturer place the LED and button and clips in different places, and may even be different within their own ODD range.
    Send the laptop to an ASP and ask for a quote. You might get a quote for the whole DVD drive though.

  • Need recommendation for external DVD burner drive!

    I'm one of the officers for a film club at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Recently, I discovered that we had, in our offices, a fully-functional, if not somewhat dated, iMac G4. After getting the neccessary OS X upgrades (it's now running the latest version, 10.4.8), I need to upgrade the CD drive, which is currently just a CD burner drive. It can't even play DVDs, much less burn them, both things we need to have working if we want people in our organization to be able to use this computer.
    Since I don't want to physically remove the drive and replace it with an internal DVD burner drive, I'd like a recommendation for a good external one. I noticed that there's only one option on the Apple Store, the LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW Drive, and that doesn't look like it's been getting very good reviews. Does anyone have any other options I could choose from?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Good point Keith. 
    I have no experience of this model but this one from OWC (a company who get very good press on these boards) promises iDVD 5 and 6 support. It's somewhat cheaper than the Lacie in the Apple store but doesn't have Lightscribe.
