T43 Recovery Disks Not Reading Disk 1

I have tried recreating the factory partition but I keep getting an error on Disk 1. I have wiped the drive using the PC-Tools software utility, tried the process with and without the supplemental disk and it gets all the way through to disk 1 and says it's not the correct disk. I have checked the disk on another computer and the Disk 1 Recovery disk is good. Any ideas?

hey rconaway,
Is it possible for you to grab a screenshot of the error ?
At the same time, when you made the recovery disc; what was the version of Rescue & Recovery that you were using?
Currently Rescue&Recovery is at version 4.30.0027 (Win 7)
I would recommend upgrading if you havent and also try making another set and see if it works

IPhone disk not read or write using iTunes.

iPhone disk not read or write using iTunes. I've tried the permissions on my MacBook Pro. I'm convinced it's my phone. This just started out of the blue. Any guidance ?

1. There is no such thing as an "iPhone disk." Please recheck that error message.
2. iPhones have NEVER been able to file transfer with BlueTooth to a computer. The BlueTooth profile has never been part of the iOS.
3. What iPhone model and iOS version, and what iTunes version are you using?
4. Is this phone jailbroken?

MSI DVD 8216M Not Reading Disks

I purchased an MSI DVD (8216M) from NewEgg a week ago. So far I have run into a few DVDs that this drive will not play.
One in particular is a brand new DVD I bought yesterday. At first it would not play the disk it at all. I updated the firmware, and it will now read the DVD. I can access the menu, and play the special features, but if I go to scene selection and select a scene, or play the movie, it fails to read the disk.

My DVD/CD player is not reading any of my disks. It spins them, as if it were going to read them, but then spits out the disk. Any suggestions?
When did this start happening? Did you load any apps or software just before this began?
You might reset PRAM

For step 2, as a result it say Media in CD/DVD drive is not readable (hp DVD-RAM UJ8B1 SATA CdRom Device) not fixed. Eveything else listed was "fixed:
Im a little unsure about steps 3 and 5 as i have never really understood what it means for me to run as an administrator, and what the password this is.
Im sort of working on the first part of step 4, not entirly sure what i need to do.
Im not very technical

Logic Disks not Reading

Hello,
I just upgraded to a Dual 1.8Ghz G5 and i cannot get it to read my logic 7 disks... It reads video DVDs, music CDs, my Studio 8 disks, and Mac OSX disks, but not logic.
It makes a strange noise for about 3 minutes and then spits it back out. Anyone else had this?
The disks worked in my old G5 iMac...
Cheers
Rob

Robulous-
I thought that they should be OSX compatible but I hat being burned by the obvious (;>)
My guess is that something is wrong with the disks. If you contact Apple and are able to provide them with a serial number and perhaps confirm ownership you may find that they will supply you with replacement disks at a nominal cost.

Disk not read at startup

when i boot up my mac and login, it says that my disk can't be read and asks me to either ignore or eject. what does this mean?? i noticed some changes on my desktop and all from last time i booted up.
g5 17" Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Sounds like you may have a CD or DVD in the optical drive. If that's not the case then try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

DR4 - A. Does not read disks

My DR4 burner started working ok burning onto Ritek,Bulkpaq and Data Safe media. After 8 weeks its stopped writing to this media. When i try and read a previously burnt disk the green light at the front of the drive keeps flashing and locks up.
Its then displays a message of " No disk found". If i insert an original DVD or music CD all is okay.
Firmware is still at 2.30. Software Nero,Pinnacle to burn with. WinDVD and Power DVD to view with.
Any ideas!

I have just installed a DR4-A in my system
AMD Athlon XP 2700+
512 MB Ram
Gigabyte GN7N400V Pro 2 Mainboard
40GB Hardrive
Have no problem in reading discs but it will not identify a CD-R disc in the drive when using the drag and drop utility that comes with Windows XP.
When using device manager and checking properties of the drive, under volume info it always lists the CD-R as DVD.
Starting to rip my hair out (and not much of it left)!!!!
Any ideas or do I just have a duff drive?

Is DVD ROM tray broken? Trouble opening, not reading disks. G60-63OUS Notebook

My DVD/CD ROM tray is having difficulty opening (I need to keep pushing button about 10 times before it will finally open). When I am finally able to insert a disk in the tray, my laptop does not recognize there is a disk present and prompts me to load one. Is this a hardware issue - do I need to replace the drive?

Not reading disks

I have a iMac 21.5" 2009 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden it stopped reading discs, I tried inserting a copy of Snow Leopard to mount the disc via firewire on my macbook. I got an error message when I restarted my computer and it said Disc Non Readable and that was the copy of Snow Leopard. I tried inserting my original iMac Installation DVDs and it just ejected the discs same as Snow Leopard. I inserted a burned DVD that had some files on it and it mounted. Any ideas????

Having a similar issue with my MacBook Pro OS x 10.6.8. I'm responding to keep this discussion alive and maybe someone can help us. I read something about trying to clean the optical drive, so I'm looking for a slot drive disk cleaner to try this weekend. After that, I guess it's to the apple store.

Superdrive does not read disk when inserted

Hi there,
Having a problem with my superdrive. When I insert any disk, the drive takes it but it can't read it.
Any suggestions as to the problem?
Thanks

You've tried commercial CD's and DVD's? Does it show up on the desktop? In Finder>Prefereces>General the box is checked?

Drive not reading disks

I've had my MacBook for approx. 3 months now. I went to burn a CD this morning with iTunes, insert the blank disk, and it makes a funny noise while it tries to read the disk then ejects the disk automatically. Does the same thing with all CD's and DVD's. What do I need to do? Anyway to fix this without sending off to Apple?

You might want to try running a cleaning CD in your '12 PowerBook G4's optical drive. If dirt gets on the laser lens it can cause read errors to occur & ejecting of the disc due the Mac's inability to read the disc properly. The cleaning CDs have a special cleaning brush/fiber built into them that knocks the dirt/dust loose of the optical drive's laser lens.

T43 recovery CDs not working

Hi,
My T43 has pre-installed winXP and later I added a Linux system using Sussie Linux installation CD. I am happy with the dual boot as it is always working fine.
Now I wish to remove the Linux system to get more space for my Windows. It has about 40G HD, 25G for windows. So I tried to use the product recovery CDs came along with the laptop. Here are my trials:
1. Use the blue "Access IBM" button at boot time to enter the "rescure and recovery" window, and try the option "restore to factory content". But it tells me this function has been removed.
2. Use the product recovery CDs. I cannot find the bootable "rescure and recovery" CD as suggested by the accompanying guide, but only 6 "product recovery CDs". So I used the CD#1 and it is bootable. After I entered a window and answered "yes I want back the factory content", it started the product recovery process. But, just after 1 second, it tells me the product recovery process is done and need to reboot.Ofcourse nothing is changed in my laptop.
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

Absolutely NONE of this is true.
a) You can ALWAYS recover the partition using the restore disks, if the hard disk itself is OK.
b) No one has ever voided the warranty on any IBM or Lenovo unit by wiping the drive, or installing a different operating system. Unless the hard drive itself is the problem, you're not even required to send it in when the machine goes for a repair. Even if you were to send it in with Linux, it would either be left alone, or re-imaged with the OS that the machine originally shipped with, depending on your preferences that are to be stated on the repair sheet.
Lenovo (and IBM before them) couldn't possibly care less what OS you're running - Windows, Linux, DOS or one that you've created yourself. However, if you haven't created a set of recovery media before you started playing around, they'll be more than happy to charge you $45 + S&H + tax for a set of recovery disks for the OS that had originally shipped with your computer.
Hope this clears any misunderstandings.
@zoltanthegypsy:
There's a number of T43/p units that are still under warranty, I've got two in my house right now. Remember, these machines had the option of a five-year warranty agreement, and the very last ones were built in early 2007, believe it or not...
