If not even light is blinking on the drive when booting up pc, either your drive is totally dead need to be replaced or your power cable is not connected/providing the power needed to the drive.\nOpen you pc case and check it, check the data cable connecting to it too, try swapping power cable with harddrive etc.\nwhen reboot go to bios, your bios should able to recognize the cd drive when showing your harddrive.

Try using the CD writer on another PC.  If the CD works, then it's your computer.  If the CD doesn't work, the the writer is on the fritze.

Try the manufacturer of the cd-rw drive, most USB devices when first plugged in are just a "USB device".\n\nWhen the Hardware Wizard pops up when you plug in the device, that means your USB host driver is fine.\n\nThe info that identifies the USB device seeks the installation of the CD-RW software and driver.\n\nIf there is a readme.txt with the software that came with the drive, I would read it.  Maybe it would help with a step-by-step installation instructions.

unless you've made changes to your system lately (i.e. reformatting, installed new software, etc.) it is probably a hardware failure and needs to be replaced.  You can see what device manger tells you about the status.  Right click on my computer, select manage, select, device manager, browse to your cd drive and see what it says about the device properties.

You may have a driver problem......\nI should've asked that same question, a month ago.\nTry going to Add/Remove Hardware in Control Panel.\nLook for your CD Driver, and Remove it from your Computer.\n(Don't worry),. After that, Restart your computer.\nThe computer will regonize a "new" piece of hardware in your system.  The Install Wizard should activate, follow the directions,\nand Restart Computer, just to be safe.  Good Luck

First make sure the driver disk isn't damaged. Easiest way to do that would be to put it in another pc and make sure it can be read, and the files are intact. If it's damaged, you'll need a new disk, of course. I'm sure you can download the drivers from toshiba. Also, have you tried installing without the drivers? Xp is usually pretty good about having scsi and raid drivers pre-packaged. If you can load up without them you can at least get the machine up and running so you can find out if the drive is working or not. \n\nEdit: There is a slight chance you may have accidentally disabled your floppy drive in the bios at some point. Go into you bios and make sure it doesn't say something like: Floppy drive A: Disabled. Change it back if it does.

Hi \n  \n It may have happened bcoz perhaps ur CD ROM of DVD ROM lense has weared down or it needs to be cleaned. There are lense cleaner available in market which u can buy n follow instructions written on top of the Pack and it will go fine thereafter.  Another probability  is that u may perhaps neet to change the Lense as it may be unable to read CDs or DVDs.. so u need to contact  ur vendor in that case.\n\n  One more probability is perhaps u need to change the DATA cable of your CD ROM as many a times  due to incapability os the CD ROM to read the disc the particular message comes.. \n\n\n  Dont worry it will be ok and I am sure it will be if u follow the above instructions.....Let me know it worked or not...

You may have downloaded the driver, but you didn't install it, so it wont conflict with anything. It's just sitting there on your hard drive doing nothing. If you want to find it to delete it, try starting to download it again, and either see where it's being saved, or write down the file name and search for it on your hard drive

Did you try to re-install the drivers? You probably have tried that. I have the exact thing that is wrong with my Sony PC, except on my Sony PC, I lost both CD & DVD devices--both are dead. I can only load the Recovery Disk from Sony & try to boot from there but it wants me to wipe everything out. I first need to back up before I go to such drastic measures. \n\nPS. I like above solution. In my case it didn't work but do try it. It probably will work for you since that is your error code.\n\nI don't have an answer yet, but the reason I answered here was to be able to let you know what to do when I get this ironed out. I might call Geeks on Call and if they repair & teach me something, I would be happy to share.\n\nSome thing I wanted to do. Contact the maker of the drives and get the files and download them & re-install. In my case, the CD & DVD drives do NOT have any support from the companies who made them. So, that path might be open to you. \n\nIf you have another working CD drive, can you reload or re-install drivers for the DVD? That is another avenue.\n\nLastly, maybe contact your PC maker and see if they can help you. My PC is four years old, so I didn't contact Sony. I was ready for a new PC, so I bought one. Eventually i will get the Sony fixed.\n\nNow, the reasons why you lost the DVD. Did you un-install some CD/DVD Creator or another third Party DVD software? I understand in my troubleshooting of my prob, I found out that one of these softwares upon uninstall as a bug disables XP from seeing the DVD. I uninstalled a CD program due to low disk space & I never figured that that would mess up my DVD/CD's. That was my problem.\n\nI hope that you can get it solved. If your PC company can supply you those drivers, I bet that you can solve this. In fact, I might even contact Sony for my own problem.\n\nGood luck!

How many other ide devices do you have? If you only have two ( a hard drive and a cdrom) you can connect them both with the same cable to the same ide, and just not use your malfunctioning one. However, I'm not sure this is truely your problem. A cd rom drive *should* open wether it's connected to your motherboard or not, just as long as it has power. I've done this many times to get a cd out of one when I accidentally left it in there. There may be something wrong with that particular power connector. Try using a different power connector first.

do you know how to uninstall the dvd player.. it may some time help..  If you are using windows Xp,  right click on my computer \n ->properties -> Hardwares  -> Device manager -> DvD/CD , Expand it and you may find the driver... right click on it and click on uninstall. Once you restart your computer it will automatically install the system drivers.. Try that way.  Or else you could find some patchs for the appropriate drive with your Vendor.

A disk controller could be on a PCI card or on the motherboard. It is rarely on a PCI card, but if you got the computer used, you might not know about it. If it is the motherboard, it can't realistically be repaired. Try unplugging the ribbon that goes from your hard drive to the motherboard and putting it in the other IDE slot next to it (you may have to unplug your CDROM to do this)
