Satellite L855D doesn't find my CD/DVD drive

Hello!
I don't know what has happened to my computer but it doesn't find CD/DVD drive anymore.
I guess I may have deleted some necessary drive but not on purpose anyway.
Is there any way to recover it?
I have tried RmvFltrs which I found from some Toshiba's tech support site via Google search but it didn't help.
It stated that it worked but my computer tells me the installation couldn't be done.
I'm not in a desperate need of the drive to work, I'm just wondering whether it is possible to make it work somehow. So if someone could help me with this I'd be more than glad.
Sincerely,
Joonas

I mean that it isn't shown in "My Computer" anymore or if I try to install something from a CD it doesn't work since the drive doesn't work.
I can find it from device manager yes but it gives me this "code 52" and says the digital signature cannot be verified. There's this yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it too. Does this help at all?

Satellite A100 does not recognize new CD/DVD drive

I purchased a new CD/DVD drive for my four year old Toshiba Satellite A-100 as the old one went crazy and did not want to work.
Unfortunately I bought a Toshiba Portege A100 DVD/ CD-RW Combo Drive which is not exactly what I had before hopping that it will work anyway.
Unfortunately I got surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all :/..
It seems to work and the light is flashing so I believe that it is not broken.
I just plugged it in as that's the way I was told to do it.
Do I have to download drivers to make it run?
Will it work on my laptop or is it a "newer" CD drive which will not cooperate with my laptop?
I would appreciate any help. Thx

Hi
I think I agree with Jimi. For me it sounds like that your CD/DVD drive isnt compatible with the notebook. Note: Not all drives are compatible to all notebooks.
Normally the best option would be if you check the user manual before you buy a CD/DVD drive. On the first pages you can find a list of compatibles drives they were pretested from Toshiba in this notebook. So these drives should definitively work.
Alternative you can contact the ASP as Jimi said. They also sell compatible drives.
And by the way, here you can search for the nearest ASP:

I have an issue with time machine, it doesn't find the Lacie external driver it use to use. it is the same drive that I usaly use for time machine back ups. It is corectly plugged. What can I do ?

Hi,
I'm trying to back up my macbook with time machine on the Lacie external driver I usualy use for this, but today my computer doesn't find the driver. I haven't done back up in 6 month.
Today, the Lacie driver is pluged and running, but the computer just does'nt find it.
what shall I do ?

Some things to consider:
Is the drive mounted, i.e., visible via Finder and/or on the Desktop?
Is the drive still selected in System Preferences, Time Machine? If not, use the "Select Disk" button.
Is Time Machine still turned on (System Preferences, Time Machine)?
Can you see the drive (and mount it) using Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder)?

My computer doesn't recognize my CD/DVD drive

I am trying to install software for the camera I gave my husband for Christmas. On Friday I did install the software for the camera he gave me. I'm the only user of this computer and have done nothing unusual or different on it but for some reason it doesn't recognize that drive and I don't know how to overcome the problem. I've rebooted several times but that hasn't helped.
Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this problem. Please keep it as simple as possible as I don't understand computer terminology at all.
I'm desperate and don't want to have to take it anywhere to have it fixed.
Thanks. Linda43
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can probably fix it this way, Linda.

Problems installing Windows 7 with boot camp, cant find the cd/dvd driver...

I´m having some problems installing Windows 7 on my new 12,1 (21,5) iMac with boot camp. When the computer restarts and the Windows 7 setup begins, i get the message that the cd/dvd driver cant be found, so i can't continue the installation. I've tried searching online for the driver, but can't find it. The cd/dvd seems to be a OPTIARC cd/dvd ad-5690h, which seems to be produced by Sony. I have a authentic windows 7. I even tried loading everything ver to a usb-drive, but then it wont boot.

After reading around on this, and other forums I tried to burn a new dvd at reduced speed(2x), but that did'nt work either... I have an authentic windows 7 iso, downloaded with serial, is there any way to boot this from a jump drive or external hdd?

Can we find my cd/dvd drive ?

This seems to be a common problem but many folks have small differences.
I have a dv6646us upgraded from Vista to a retail version of 7 a few months ago.
I just noticed a month ago that the cd/dvd drive is gone. I dont know if it was because of 7 or something else that happened.
I've tried all the microsoft fixes..(removing upper and lower filters etc.)
no itunes but I do have norton antivirus
device manager does not show the drive at all
on start up - F10
in boot order
I see CD/DVD ROM Drive listed..so does that mean that Bios is seeing it ? I dont know what a bios is...
any help is appreciated.. I cant afford a new laptop.

I have the same issue (dv9810us, vista), and have pretty much given up trying to find a solution after trying the numerous tips and fixes found here, at microsoft, and all around the web. I performed a system recovery today; everything went fine, but the dvd/cd player was still not there. Tomorrow I will go buy an external dvd writer, and when this computer finally dies, my next notebook will probably be a toshiba.
If you go the external dvd route, the usb only drives are less expensive, usually, but they are also slower than drives with power adapters.
Good luck
Jeff

Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
Thanks

Hi
This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

Satellite 105 - Won't recognize the CD/dvd drive

The door lite comes on but it will not play anything in the cd drive. Could it be locked somehow?

Hi Chris,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

Can't find a CD/DVD drive to fit a MDD, help!!!

Alrighty here is the deal, I picked up Pioneer DVR-111D recently and ran in to a small problem. The new burner didn't fit in to my MAC.
So as the very knowledgeable MAC people out there I need some help. I want to find a new combo CD/DVD Combo drive that does everything and more that my old Superdrive did. Does anyone know of any good drives that meet what I'm looking for, and actually fit in the MDD.
Again thank you all for reading this and answering my questions.
Power Mac G4 MDD Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I hope that you didn't return that Pioneer DVR-111D as it is one of the best available DVD burner upgrades for a MDD G4. You do have to remove the plastic faceplate on the tray to allow it to function properly, but that is an easy fix. Use a paper clip to release the tray from the case and then carefully pry off the tray faceplate from the bottom up. After that, the DVR-111D should work fit and work just fine. I installed one in my MDD G4 last week without any problems.

Satellite Pro L500-12E - Issue with CD/DVD drive and display

Hello...
I have some questions about my laptop..
1. Is it normal that on some DVD/CD's the DVD rom it very loud and vibrates a lot, spesialy on older CD's..
2.The cover/lid of my laptop when i close it its kinda not in line with the rest of the pc it is not totaly alligned but its kinda hard to see expect when you look for it..but its properly on and its not lose or anything just not alinged to the "body" of the laptop
3.The lid again, Underneath the screen where the lid is mounted to the "body" off the laptop if.. it is not glued to the screen like the rest of the edges its just putted next to it you can drag in it so you can see the wires going into the screen etc
is that normal?
-thanks

1 I can imagine that CDs/DVDs are louder. Maybe are they a little bit out of shape and by spinning you can notice some vibrations. Be sure the discs are placed properly into optical disc drive.
2 It is not easy to discuss about it without some picture but I don't think it is some serious issue.
3 What you see is probably cable for WLAN antenna. WLAN antenna is placed behind the LCD.
I cannot confirm this is normal or not normal because I don't have L500 but if you want to have professional opinion visit nearest Toshiba service and show what do you mean exactly.
For me all this don't sound as some serious issues or hardware problems.

MBP suddenly doesn't find my external hard drive when plugged into the USB port

Last night I worked on some wedding photo editing and let the laptop battery run all the way down forgetting to eject my Seagate external hard drive. I got the message when I booted it today that I didn't properly eject. Now it won't "see" the hard drive in any of the USB ports, but the hard drive is lit up so juice is going to it. Any ideas how to fix this one?

Open Disk Utility first.
Insert the drive.
If it appears in Disk Utility, use First Aid (Repair Disk)
This should be called (Repair Directory).
If it does not fix everything on the first try, run it again until it fixes everything or gets stuck.
Report any remaining error messages.
Consider getting an external Power supply for that drive.

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
