Satellite P855 - ODD will not read BluRay discs

Hi.
I have a little problem with my blu ray. Every CD or DVD discs works. But when i put blu ray disc my drive can't find this disc. I download newset update for blu ray but when i install a message pop out: "A later version of 'Toshiba blu-ray Disc player' is already installed on this machine. The setup cannont continue." How i can fix that?
Big thanks for help. Sorry for my english :[

The notebook was definitely equipped with an Blu-ray drive and you should be able to play Blu-ray disks.
What Windows system and what Toshiba Blu-ray Disc Player software is installed on your notebook?
On the Toshiba EU driver page you could find the update Blu-ray Disc Player v1.0.5.207 for Win 8.1 system
For Win 7 64bit you can download the v v1.0.5.207 and v1.0.3.196_A
But note!!!
This is ONLY an update. Its not a full version and this update requires the previous installed Blu-ray disk player software
Anyway, you could also use some 3rd party software in order to play BD disks.
For example VLC player is able to handle the BD disks

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.

Portege R500- after hardware upgrade ODD will not read

Recently I acquired a 2008 vintage Toshiba R500-11Z ultraportable laptop. It needed a new keyboard since most of the keys were dead, so I purchased a new replacement (exact same keyboard, from an eBay seller). I also decided to give it a new lease of life by installing a solid-state drive. The old keyboard was secured to the chassis with some sort of sticky back plastic which wasn't reusable, so for the new keyboard I used some strong double sided tape. Before screwing the plastic undercarriage back on I installed Windows 7, with the undercarriage loosely fitted in place. Windows install completed and all looked good. After screwing in the undercarriage I discovered that the optical drive its original "open-top" Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-844S would not read discs; it just makes a noise 3 times but does not then spin up as it would normally. Drive is visible in both Explorer and Device Manager.
After unscrewing the undercarriage, reseating the optical drive, and rescrewing a number of times I haven't been able to get the optical drive to read any discs. What I have established is that the disc must be catching on the ceiling, thus signalling the drive to not spin up; by leaving the screws off that side of the undercarriage allowed me to create a gap so there is more room between the optical drive and the ceiling of the laptop. Discs will then spin up and Windows autoplay will open them. What I can't work out is what has changed in terms of how the drive is mounted and its position relative to the ceiling above it. Or whether the drive is now trying to spin up at an angle. There are two locking screws that hold the optical drive in place, so the drive should be located in the same place its always been.
I just wondered whether anyone had encountered this problem before, and whether there is an easy fix. I feel I've hit a brick wall on this one!
Thanks in advance.

Just to say after a lot of head scratching I worked out the problem. I'd made a mistake in reattaching the metal mounting clip to the back of the optical drive.
I'd screwed the clip on on the outside of the orange coloured connector when it needed to be on the inside (between the optical drive and the orange connector). It seems this must have pushed the drive out of place just enough to stop it from working properly.

Satellite P300-1A8 will not boot from disc drive

Hi,
I had a little play with start up programs, partitioning the hard drive and marking as active and deleting programs i thought i did not need.
I obviously had no idea what i was doing!
Laptop will go to toshiba screen then goes blank, i can not boot from the disc drive.
I put the hard drive into another laptop and it works fine.
I put the hard drive of that laptop in the buggered one and that works fine.
How the hell do i put the original one back with it working??
Really really stuck with this!!!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Only thing i havent tried is the recovery disc but im not paying for one if it wont boot as itl be a waste of money.
Seems like its a compatability problem with cpu and hard drive as they dont want to be friends anymore!!
Thank you in advance

Hi!
Can you boot in the safe mode?
If you dont have a recovery disk, use the Microsoft installation disk and try to boot from it.
And you said that you cant boot from disc drive, did you tried different disks?
Maybe some are not readable or not bootable.
The best way would be a recovery disk. The installation takes a few minutes and you have a clean installation with all drivers and tools from Toshiba.

Get a blue ray compatible player and the associated software. Apple does not support it natively.
Here is an option:

Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now, and now I need to re-install snow leopard but my install DVD is damaged and I have bought a new snow leopard disc. However my iMac will not read the disc at all ?

Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now.
I tired to reinstall snow leopard with the install DVD that came with my iMac. However the disc is damaged so I bought a new Snow Leopard but my iMac wont read the new disc, it just stays in the apple logo screen, I have tired safe boot, holding down the "C" key on startup and tried using disc utility but getting nowhere.
Please help. Thanks.

Might be related, if your hard drive is a 1TB drive,it could be a Seagate drive.
The drives are known to fail and your iMac maybe covered for free replacement under the Apple's Seagate hard drive replacement program until April 12 of this year.
I Believe the 2009 models are covered under this replacement warranty.
You can find out if you are eligible here.

PC will not read disc which came with N95 8GB Phon...

Upgraded to N95 8GB. So far so good, then !!!. Came back from hols to link with PC to find that the CD drive and DVD drive will not read the disc which came with the phone. PC will still read other discs but not the Nokia disc. What is the disc format and can I get what is on the disc elsewhere?

It's probably just a damaged disc. You can download the PC Suite software from www.nokia.com/pcsuite, as far as I know you can't get replacement CDs.

iMac 17inch Duo 2GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.8) Have got an eMac G4 as well

Hi All
Still got the problem. I don't think its the drive,
because it plays DVD's CD's etc, even the disc's from
the Mac magazines. The DVD seems clean. I've run a
disc cleaner in the drive. Still no joy.
I can start the eMac up and it will boot up OK - OS X
10.2.8 The drive will read the DVD, as I can see the
'Max OS X Install DVD' window open up with the
install icon in the centre of the screen.
What about copying the DVD on to en external drive
and the trying to install from that. Would it work??
Thnks for your help, so far.

Hi Lee
Had exactly the same when attempting to update eMac to 10.4, very interesting.
Had to use a faster drive, as the one in my eMac was reading the 10.4 dvd too slowly.
Nothing wrong with disc, nor drive except it was too slow.
if you have a hard drive in bootable firewire external box and copying disc across to it doesnt work, (probably wont) then try borrowing a 2005 era or later dvd drive and using that in the external box.
For the purposes of the excersize, it wont matter if the dvd drive is not supported for burning (least mine isnt) so dont let that put you off having a go.
If all else fails, talk to Apple to see what their techs can do. (Apparently there is a service which supplies 10.4 on CD Rom. And they might be able to load from the DVD for you. They can put in a faster drive. Dont know about the price of that.

CD/DVD Drive will Not read CD/DVDs

This desktop is only about 3 months old and so far has worked great!! But since last week for some reason the CD/DVD Drive will not read any disc. The tray will open but then nothing happens at all once a CD/DVD is in. Doesn't even sound like it is spinning. Any ideas?? Please help!! Thanks!!

Also it is running Windows 8 and is a Ideacentre K410. And the CD/DVD Drive it is showing I have installed is TSSTCorpDVD-RW SH-216BB Not sure if that has always been the drive or not.

MacBook Pro optical drive will not read discs

The optics might be dirty. Try running a cleaning CD through it and see if that makes a difference.
If not, it will have to be replace.

My disc drive on Mac Pro will not read installation dvds

I have been trying to install some software on my Mac Pro - OS 10.8. It will not read the installation DVD. It acts like it is blank. I thought this was a faulty dics drive so I purchased a new one from OWC and installed it and it is doing the same thing!
Please help I payed a lot for this software and cant use it.

Since you're on your second optical drive, does the new one (and, for that matter the old one) read any optical disk? If it does, then there might still be something wrong with the disk from that manufacturer. If no disk is readable, I'd doublecheck the cabling to the drive. I'd also call OWC tech support. I've dealt with them for many years and they've always been very helpful with any problems.
As far as the software goes, you bought a license as well as an installer disk. Does the manufacturer have a website from which you could download a trial version of the software that could be converted to a full, operating version with the license key that should have come in the box with the disk?

Flashing question mark/will not read disc.

So, I've seen other discussions here and tried to apply them to my own problem, but nothing seems to work so far. If anyone can offer any help, this would be great.
I was updating routine software and it asked if I wanted to restart now. I chose yes and it shut down, restarted to the flashing question mark. I tried restarting by holding down the power and c key many times. I know I need to install Mac OS X Install Disc 1, but my Macbook is not reading the disc. I tried putting in disc 2 as well but it doesn't recognise this one either.
Thanks.

Hi,
Hold the option key on startup. If a boot manager doesn't appear there may be hardware issues.
If a boot manager appears but you can't see a CD icon there may be a problem with your optical drive (or media).
Good Luck!
