  • Satellite P200-1FC: CD/DVD drive will not start - error Code 10

    My Satellite P200-1FC was purchased in January 2008 and preloaded with Vista Home Premium. The DVD/CD Drive is listed in device manager as "TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA Device".
    At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
    Clicking check for solutions produces "could not load driver software" but no solution.
    Searching similar questions in user forums suggests a use of a Microsoft Help & Support page headed "The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista".
    However this involves modifying the registry! As a relative novice I am reluctant to do this unless I can find no easier way.
    Must I bite the bullet and and enter this minefield, or is there a better way?

    >At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
    This error is definitely caused by a wrong registry entry.
    I had such error several times ago and I have solved it removing the lower and upper filters from these registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Here are some steps how it worked on my Windows system;
    - I removed the CD/DVD drive from the device manager
    - Then edited the registry as described above
    - Rebooted the notebook
    Im sure it will help you too.

  • Satellite A200-AH5 CD/DVD drive does not burn any CDs

    I own a Toshiba Satellite laptop (A200 -AH3) running Windows Vista Home Premium.
    For what it is worth, the processor is a T2085 @ 1.73 GHz. It is a 32-bit Operating System.
    In Device Manager when I click on DVD/CD Rom drives, I get TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D ATA Device.
    Clicking on this I find that the driver is working properly and up to date. I have not been able to burn a CD on this system...
    I have not tried to burn a DVD.
    I have run through all the steps for burning a CD, however, but even though it goes through the process of showing the progress as each song from a playlist is burned to disc, when the disc is supposedly finalized...there is nothing on the disc when I try to play it back and with the exception of iTunes or another program opening when I place the CD into the drive to be played, absolutely nothing happens.
    I tried burning music on a disc on my sister's desktop computer and it burned fine.
    So...It is not a problem with the discs.
    When I took the disc my sister had burned and placed it in the disc drive on my laptop, it displayed the tracks that had been burned and it played the music just fine. This has me really thrown for a loop.
    The laptop is only a year old and I can't burn a single thing.
    Unfortunately, the warranty has expired. I am desperate to get this problem fixed. I have no idea if it will burn a DVD, but I have ruined 2 boxes of CD-R discs already. After the disc has supposedly burned the music...even though no music has been burned...the disc is ruined and has to be tossed.
    I am not terribly knowledgeable about techncal aspects of computers, so I hope you can speak to me in general terminology if you respond to my problem. I really hope someone out there can advise me as to what is going on or what I should do to resolve the problem.
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    Thanks.

    Hi
    In your case I would recommend trying different CDs from different manufacturers.
    You should know that not all CDs or DVDs would be fully compatible with your internal CD/DVD drive.
    In many cases not compatible CD or DVD would cause exactly the same issues which you have described in your message so try different medias!
    Furthermore I would recommend checking the Toshiba driver page for an CD/DVD drives firmware update.
    As Im not mistaken the Satellite A200-AH3 belongs to the Canadian series and you should check the Canadian page for some new firmware. Maybe a new firmware is available
    Last but not least you could switch to other burning software Im using the Nero In my opinion its the best applications for such purposes

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120 - CD/DVD drive doesnt work anymore

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A120, and keep on having problems with my CD/DVD driver. I spoke to few of you on the phone, the fix it solution on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 seems to do the trick for a couple of hours and then I am back to square one.
    Today, I think I have reached the end of my possibilities, the solution above no longer works, I have a message that says that it doesn't work for the specifications of my PC.
    In the meantime, something must have happened because my webcam, that I have since 2007, no longer works either, and in spite of the fact that I have tried time and time again to install those drivers, the PC just won't allow me.
    It's a dead end really...
    And... yes, I have done the business of going to Device Manager, disable the CD/DVD driver facility etc....
    Thanks for your help

    Is the drive shown properly in device manager?
    When you remove CD/DVD drive from the device manager after restart it should be recognized again. Can you use it after doing this?
    Have you tried to reinstall OS using Toshiba recovery CD/DVD?

  • Satellite P105 mat****a dvd drive does not work with Win 7

    Greetings,
    I need an upgrade on my dvd for my vintage Satellite P105.
    I want the fastest dvd burner possible at this time because I am a movie fan and keep them in digital storage.
    1) First should I go get an external drive or can I get top performance with an internal dvd replacement from a parts dealer or Toshiba?
    The problem is when I upgraded to windows 7 things changed. I lost my sound but solved that by using a legacy driver for Visa as apparently the sound "board" on the laptop is made for only Vista. Next I found the dvd drive which is a mitsu****a UJ-450s internal does not work or is extremely slow in backing up movies from discs or files. The available burner software also seems intended for Vista as performance was acceptable then. Even the dvd burner software does not work.
    2) So, my question to the mavens of multimedia is: What should be my next move?
    3) Should I go external and face the USB bottle neck or
    4) go for the bus speed on the internal dvd?
    5) Given that an internal dvd is better as it is exactly a dvd-ram/IDE as it currently is, or some other bus configuration.
    6) Most importantly, what dvd burner would give me 18x speed with current software like ConvertXtoDVD and fit as an external or -- better -- as an internal dvd replacement or my slow drive currently?
    Of course, if you could give me a model number and direct me to sales it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you all in advance.

    1) First should I go get an external drive or can I get top performance with an internal dvd replacement from a parts dealer or Toshiba?
    You should know that not all internal ODD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ODD?>>>>>>>>>> devices are compatible. You will need to use an compatible and supported ne and such device could be ordered from an local ASP.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ASP?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
    But its more expensive as an external CD/DVD device therefore you could also choose an external one which would be compatible with all possible notebooks and computers.
    Makes sense
    2) So, my question to the mavens of multimedia is: What should be my next move?
    As mentioned. Good option would be to buy an external ODD burner>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Okay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    3) Should I go external and face the USB bottle neck or
    External device are compatible with all computers and are cheaper>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>yes, but isn't the data thru put slower with an external via USB or should I get firewire?>>>>>>>>>>>
    4) go for the bus speed on the internal dvd?
    If you have the money for an internal device and want to use it only with P105 then you can choose also an internal burner.>>>>>>>>>>>>they are $96 here at toshiba site>>>>>>>>>>>>
    e
    5) Given that an internal dvd is better as it is exactly a dvd-ram/IDE as it currently is, or some other bus configuration.
    As far as I know its an IDE interface but the device would support master or slave or c-sel>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>what is c-sel????>>>>>>>>>>>>> settings. As mentioned, you have to buy an Toshiba recommended one.>>>>>>>>>>>>>the one sold here would be recommended, would they not?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    6) Most importantly, what dvd burner would give me 18x speed with current software like ConvertXtoDVD and fit as an external or -- better -- as an internal dvd replacement or my slow drive currently?
    Look point 5)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>so you agree that a bus connection is superior to a USB then?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Thank you for your prompt reply. Could you comment on my questions add to your message?

  • Is it possible to install Win XP on Satellite P20 w/o DVD drive?

    Hi, I'm new to this support forum, but I'm hoping you can help with my problem.
    Windows has become corrupt on my Satellite P20-521, yet I'm unable to use the Recovery Disc as the DVD drive has ceased functioning. I was wondering if there is any other possible method for installing the OS onto my laptop without the need for the drive. I have gotten to a stage where the harddrive is essentially formatted (due to placing the HD into another laptop and performing a windows boot that formatted and copied windows install data, however, this hasn't worked in terms of installing windows).
    Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

    Okay, thanks for the help and suggestions guys. With the info you gave me, I managed to think out the most awkward and roundabout method possible. I've noted it down so that others may attempt to do so in the future if they so desire.
    Process to install Windows:
    Transfer HDD from Toshiba Satellite (Comp A) to Dell Latitude (Comp B)
    Copy the 'i386' folder from the Windows XP CD to a USB Memory Stick
    Use a DOS CD to boot into DOS on Comp B
    Delete all partitions and create 2gb FAT16 partition
    Format C: Drive
    Install DOS to HDD ('XCOPY A: C:\DOS' & 'SYS A: C:')
    Remove DOS CD
    Restart
    Test booting into DOS (if it doesn't work, repeat steps above or find method to remove the MBR)
    Restart
    Use 'Damn Small Linux' live CD to boot into Linux
    Mount HDA1 (Harddrive FAT16 partition) and SDA1 (USB Memory Stick)
    Transfer the 'i386' folder from SDA1 to HDA1 using File Manager
    Restart
    (Optional: Activate 'smartdrive.exe' in DOS if it's available)
    Activate 'WINNT.EXE' from within i386 folder
    Follow Windows XP Installation procedure
    (Note: somefiles may not be found when it's in the copying stage, this may be due to the version of Windows XP you copied the i386 folder from)
    Warning! Can take numerous hours to complete without 'smartdrive.exe'.
    For me, due to the only readily available disc being an 'upgraded' XP (came with lots of tools and service packs allready installed for convenience) install disc, I found files 'missing' during the file copying stage prior to actual Windows installation:
    ieframe.dll.mui
    msfeedsbs.dll
    The files are part of Internet Explorer 7, and are neither crucial to installation nor the running of Windows XP.

  • Satellite P300-19P: CD/DVD drive tries to read the disk then ejects

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help,
    I have a *Satellite P300-19P*.
    I have had this notebook 3 months and this is the latest frustrating problem; every now and again when I insert a DVD or CD and close the drawer the drive tries to read the disk and then ejects the disk, even if I take the disk out and shut the drive the drawer still ejects,
    If I shut the system down and reboot the problem still exists.
    I have checked the drivers which are up to date and the OS is Windows Vista home premium 32bit.
    This is the fourth time this has happened and the problem seems to correct it's self and reappears as and when!!
    Has anyone had this problem or can anyone help as this is driving me mad.

    Hi!
    I think thats a problem with the CD/DVD drive.
    In your case I would go to an ASP (authorized service provider). They should check your notebook and change the drive if it is necessary.
    Here you can search for an ASP:

  • Satellite A50: What CD/DVD drives are compatibe?

    Hello
    Since I have had my A50 for the last 2 1/2 years I have had intermittent problems with the this DVD Drive. It has finally packed in and I am needing to replace the drive so i can use the product recovery CD's.
    I have tried to find out the master/slave settings of my computer so that I am able to find a suitable drive to replace it with.
    Does anyone know what the settings are, or what drive I could use to replace it with
    Thanks
    Ollie

    Hello
    Please check Users manuals for Satellite A50 (pages 4-12) and there you will find which optical disc driver are compatible with your notebook.
    If Users manuals is not saved on your unit you can find it under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com Support & Downloads Support Homepage Downloads.

  • Satellite 1410-902: Which DVD drives are compatible?

    My CD in Toshiba s1410-902 is broken and I would like to change it to DVD reader or DVD recorder. The problem is, that not all IDE CD/DVD drives will work with this Toshiba. BIOS accepts only definite drives some of manufacturers, but I don't know which one.
    Where can I find the coplete list of copmatible DVD drives for this model of Toshiba?

    Hi
    If you will buy a drive for your notebook you have to check the physical size of the drive.
    The drive settings (master/slave/csel) are very important because you cannot reset these settings like on the normal desktop PC drive.
    I have found this CD-RW/DVD-Rom combo drive: P000352490
    This drive should be compatible with Satellite 1410.
    But of course, you can contact the ASP in your country if you want to order supported parts.

  • Satellite P205D-S7802: CD/DVD drive issue; driver corrupted or missing

    Hi,
    Dvd unit has not recognized by the OS.
    When i open My Computer the only unit displayed is C, there's no D unit.
    Then I go to device manager to check it, and I notice that the DVD unit has problems, then i open properties and the error message is:
    "HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GSAT20N ATA DEVICE
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing".
    First i thought that was a hardware problem, but I introduced the windows vista disc at boot and the unit read it very well. Then I choose update driver from device manager and the updater told me that the best driver was already installed for the device.
    I tried to replace the .sys and .info files for cd-roms but nothing happened either.
    What is happening, please help, is urgent i need to use my dvd unit.
    Regards.

    Try this:
    remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager list
    access the registry and 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}

  • Satellite M40-145: CD/DVD drive won't read some DVDs

    Hello!
    I own a Satellite M40-145 purchased just over one year ago; the DVD driver worked perfectly until three days ago, but today I discovered something... peculiar. It still reads commercial DVDs and burned DVD+R, but apparently it doesn't read burned DVD-Rs anymore. I have tried with different DVD-Rs I burned through the same DVD player, with no success; trying to access the DVD yields a "insert disk in D: drive" message.
    In this case, I'm talking about movies on DVDs. Please tell me there's a way to solve this without sending the computer to customer service...
    I'd hate to think it broke down just days after the expiration date of the warranty.

    Hi
    Well, you can try to remove the drive form the device manger.
    After new reboot the drive should be recognized again. Check then if its possible to read the DVD-R CD.
    But the issue sounds as a lens calibration error. If you use different media the lens must be calibrated again. But if this procedure fails, the drive is not able to read or write the DVD for example.
    Unfortunately, in such cases only the drive replacement will solve this issue.

  • Satellite L300D-13S - CD/DVD drive does not close properly

    Hi,
    I have the L300D-13S about one week.
    Today and for a short while last Sunday the DVD drawer will not stay closed.
    I have restarted a few times and tried putting discs in but it still ejects and doesn't read the discs.
    I installed Norton 360 Version 2.0 the day I got it, I really don't know a lot about computers and I am hoping it's simple enough.
    I have checked the control panel and checked all the settings and they all seem fine.
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    In my opinion its a mechanical CD/DVD drive problem and you should contact the ASP in your country for a check.
    I mean your warranty must be valid because this notebook does not seem to be old.
    So ask the ASP and maybe the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.
    Bye

  • Problems with dvd-drive

    Hi.
    I have a Lite-on cd/dvd-drive, which writes and reads discs. About a week ago i tried to burn a dvd, and noticed that my drive is not detected by Brasero. I tried other programs, and same thing with them (gnomebaker detected my drive, but it did not manage to burn).
    Then I tried to read some dvds, but i noticed that my drive doesn't read cds or dvds anymore. I don't know if this problem has been since i changed to arch, because i don't use my drive so much.
    Dmesg says next:
    sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
    Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
    sr 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
    So I believe that my drive is detected by the system, but some drivers or configs are failing. I tried to change my fstab and added myself to optical- and storage-groups, but no difference. What else I can do to find and solve the problem?
    I Also found out, that i can't use usb mass storage devices. According to dmesg, usb storages are detected, but i can't see them anywhere.
    scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 PMAP PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    ps. How can i change ide-scsi to ide-cd for my dvd/cd-drive?
    Last edited by mango (2007-06-18 14:12:56)

    I have only one drive, which both reads and writes. The drive is not dead, since i can boot from LiveCd.
    Edit: Apparently I can't use LiveCds no more, or boot from any cds. So I think my drive is busted

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4): DVD drive permanently blinking

    Hello,
    I have been using a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4) laptop for some time now without any major issues.
    My dvd drive (tsst crop TS-L632H) is no longer working for a few days now... More precisely, its LED is permanently orange blinking. Drivers are up to date. The eject button doesn't work either. No disc is inserted. The drive seems fine in the Windows device manager...
    If opened manually and if a disc is inserted in the drive, I can't see any data. Can't boot on the disc either.
    I'm running under Vista 32bit SP1 with the latest bios available on the toshiba website (2.40).
    Since I need to fix the frequently reported "black screen" issue before login prompt, using the windows installation disc
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks !

    Hi
    According to you page you are not able to boot from any CD or DVD, not even from the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Am I right?
    To be honest, Ive no idea why such issue happened but in my opinion its related to the hardware malfunction and only the replacement could helps
    I dont know how old you notebook is but maybe the warranty is valid and you could replace it for free
    What do you think?
