Satellite M40 does not read from product Recovery DVD

Hey all.
I have a bit of a problem that I hope someone can help me.
My Satellite M40 notebook fell while it was in the bag and the dvd drive stopped working .
I had it repaired and it plays cds but I can't get the recovery disk to work.
It opens but for some reason the files are unreadable.
When I try to press C after turning it on, the computer sounds like it is about to work but then the windows XP icon just appears.
Can anyone help or offer advice? I'd really appreciate

I just checked my dvd recording device Sonic and it is not there. The read me file and all are there but the actual program I cannot find. So do I need to download that?
The Sonic and other additional tools are placed only on the Additional Software CD which should be delivered together with the M40.
>How do I know which firmware is compatible or goes with my dvd drive? How can I check?
As already said!!! The firmware could be found on the CD/DVD drive manufacturer site!
I dont know what drive you have bought and I dont know the drive details!

  • Does not read from the path

    Hi All,
    I am not sure if this is the right place for posting this.
    I have Oracle reports 10g installed in a linux box (10gAS). I have specified the path of the directories for reports in reports.sh file. But still it does not read from that path. What could be the problem?

    1. Check the env variable REPORTS_PATH
    2 Check the reports server conf file path. Open the <reports servername>.conf
    and check the value.

  • Satellite P840/016 does not boot from CD or DVD

    Using F2 enabled the BIOS to boot from optical drive, saved and re-started. Finds the bootable CD created from the same laptop using the repair disc from Windows 7 recovery but does not boot.
    Tried Ubuntu DVD which works as boot disk on all other laptops - still does not boot.
    Changed the setting in BIOS to non-secure - same problem.

    Thanks - tried this pressing F12. Message appears on the screen to press any key to boot from DVD. Key pressed, the DVD is read and then delay with blank screen. The laptop goes back to start screen and than goes to boot from the HDD. Also tried making USB as bootable. Pressed F12 and selected USB as boot device. Reads the USB and after a period of time boots from HDD.
    Checked DVD driver - it is the latest.
    Operating system is Windows 8 pro.
    RAM is 8GB, processor is I7 and HDD is 1 TB. Laptop is only 3 weeks old

  • Does not read from the path in default.env

    Hi All,
    I have given the path of my forms directories in default.env for my 10gDS Suite. While running it does not read it from the path that I have provided in that file. I also specified the same path in registry still the same error. The error message reads like FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Ok, I'm stumped!
    I thought I would see what would cause the Forms Builder to fail opening an fmb, so I changed my FORMS_PATH value in the default.env file by removing the second directory listed there. Opening a form in the builder gave me two errors:
    FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects. (Listed the objects in our Ref form.)
    FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library...
    Then I changed the FORMS_PATH back, but now, I am unable to open a form without those errors in the Forms Builder.
    My forms_path line looks like this:
    FORMS_PATH=C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;C:\Users\Steve\01\fmb10The only thing I can do now to get a form to open without the errors is to copy the reference fmb and the PLL library from C:\Users\Steve\01\fmb10 to C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms
    It feels like I am going crazy, because this all worked before, and now I cannot get it to work.
    By the way, I am using Windows Vista and Forms 10.1.2.3.0

  • SUN application server does not read from Derby database

    Hello,
    I have developed a simple web application in SUN Java Studio Creator 2, and deployed it to the SUN App server 8. It uses a database (PointBase) for some table lookups. It all works OK on my development system. When I try and run the same web application on Production (Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 (build b48)) , with the Derby database, I cannot get it to work. The application looks OK, all web pages get displayed correctly, but none of the fields and tables show any data from the database tables.
    The "ping" command from the admin screen in the app server to the Derby connection pool is successful, and there are no error messages in any logs, it is just that the data from the tables does not get displayed on the web pages. Very strange.
    At first I thought it was a database issue, so I ported the database to mySQL, but the problem was not fixed. In development the web application works OK, but on production the data in the tables do not get displayed.
    Anyone has any ideas?
    Thanks!!

    Are you able to access the data in the tables using standalone java client. ( java program through JDBC api )
    Can you post the code snippet of getting connection ( URL, other db parameters)

  • HT1567 cd/dvd drive does not read or recognize cd/dvds

    My cd/dvd drive stop functioning when I attempted to install MEDIA NOT CD & DVD BURNING SUITE SOFTWARE and was directed to itunes fo help.  Unforturnately, I have been able to correct the problem to this date....I can not even upgrade the drives, there is always and error message; or an indication that
    the drive is disabled; ( and I can't seem to find instruction to enable the drive), all of this falls uder a Code 32!   I need help.  I have not used the dvd drive on this computer for months.  I will not reinstall the software, which I can't on the computer, but I will not on any other compter.  Can anyone help me?  I've tried just about everything suggested to no avail.

    Hi
    It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
    In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
    Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.

  • Optical drive does not read CD's but DVD's please help!

    My disc burning read-out is:
    HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B
    when i place any type of CD in my optical drive, after a few seconds the drive ejects. When i place any type of DVD media in the optical drive it reads perfect. any one have a solutions please help..
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5

    Well, I bought a CD/DVD cleaner kit, and nothing happened--it didn't even recognize that the cleaner disc was in there and it didn't do anything.
    I checked for an optical drive update, but the only one I found was for older Macs for 4X DVDs, which had nothing to do with CDs. Since even music discs won't mount, nor will discs that mount on every other Mac in the house, Macs both older and newer than my G5 and discs both older and newer, I suspect my drive is toast. Dang.

  • Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of CDs or DVD's after BIOS update

    While copying DVD's I was asked to do a bios upgrade from the software that came on my laptop, so i thought coming from toshibsa it should be safe. I closed all my applications and let the update happen, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd's.
    Now my dvd writer does not read most of my cds or DVD's,originals as well.
    I have managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after quite a battle before the update to see if i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have two days to copy 100 DVD's for a client and i am unable to do this now,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop running windows 7 64 bit 8 gigs memory with a SSD Hard drive

    > i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it
    I dont think that BIOS is the problem here the point is that the CD and DVD support details are stored in the CD/DVD drive firmware and NOT in the notebook BIOS.
    So in my opinion the BIOS update is not the reason for your issue.
    I think you should check if laser lens cleaning would help you to read the disks.
    Use an cotton wool tip and alcohol fluid to clean gently the laser lens.

  • My CS6 Production suite does not update from the help menu? The appilcation Manager says: "The updat

    My CS6 Production suite for Windows 8 does not update from the help menu? The appilcation Manager says: "The update server is not respondiing, the server might be offline temporarily..." I have registered correctly. I have turned off my AVG virus protection and tried to update my software, still the Application Manager gives the same response. When I login, I can see that my serial numbers are there, so it must have registered correctly.
    Help!

    If you don't want to download the updates manually, then you need to update your Application Manager.  The relevant links are here:

  • The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
    To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
    If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
    The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
    Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
    Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
    The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
    (What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro (Mac Os 10.8.4) when conecting my mobile broadband dongle (Huawei E122) the computer does not read it at all. I do not have problems when connecting it to my former computer (PC) and a Mac from last year. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
    It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
    But thank you for your reply!

    Hi wellsfar,
    Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
    Is it showing any error message?
    A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.

  • My program does not read raw files from mark III

    My program does not read raw files from mark III

    emac77,
    Support for Canon 5D MIII RAW files was announced in ACR 7.1 (Adobe Camera Raw 7.1).
    The current stable release is ACR 7.2 while ACR 7.3 is still a Release Candidate (Beta).
    Starting ACR 7.2, Adobe stopped supplying a manual download link which was available till 7.1. Adobe Application Manager (AAM) is the only way for you to update to ACR 7.2.
    However, here is a direct download link that AAM connects to for the download that you can use to grab the .zip or .dmg (Mac) file. Download and install. See if you're able to open your files then.
    ACR 7.2 for Windows: http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/7.2.82/Setup.zip

    Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
    Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
    If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
    The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
    please help me & Thank you for your time,
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.

    Does the iPod work okay otherwise apart from not being able to connect with and communicate with iTunes?
    Have you tried connecting the iPod to another PC or Mac running iTunes to see if it is properly recognized there?
    Is iTunes up to date on your PC?  Does it appear in Device Manager when you plug it in? To access Device Manager, click start, right->click on Computer (or My Computer in Windows XP) and choose Manage.  When the window opens, select Device Manager in the left hand pane if necessary.
    Any unknown devices listed or does the iPod appear anywhere under USB Host Controllers?
