What CD/DVD brands are compatible with Satellite A300?
Posted: 09-Jun-2012 22:01

Hello,

I have a big problem when I burn the media (cd or dvd) on my laptop toshiba satellite A300.
I have already try different mark (philips, sony, tdk, ...) but for the tdk it works one time on five.
Here I bought the sony cd recordable and when I wanted to burn, i received the message "media incompatible or bad quality"

I use the soft "cd burner xp"

I don't understand which mark should i buy ? of is this a problem of softwer ?

thank you in advance to bring your lights.

Hello

I have Satellite A300 too with dual boot (WXP and Win7). I use NERO burnng rom application with both operating systems and everything works perfectly.
Mostly I use DVD-R medias and I buy always Verbatim or TDK.

Which medias do you use (CD-R, DVD-R or any other format)?
Have you noticed the same problem using different formats?

Hi

As far as I know you can find info about all tested medias in the user manual.
But I use also the TDK – R (CD and DVD) and from my experience such disks are compatible.

At the other hand your disk problems might be related to the dirty laser lens.
Would recommend cleaning the lens using cotton wool tip and alcohol.
From time to time I clean the laser lens of my CD/DVD drive and this combination works great.

thanks for yours responses.

in fact i use only DVD+R (tdk, philips and sony).
I had problems with tdk and mainly with phillips.
All my media (cd/dvd) were in the trash

it's not normal

I am going to try clean the lens with alcool and buy verbatim.

with the media CD-R sony no media work

it's crazy.

It's strange because the burning goes well (successfull) and when i put the cd on my cd player it doesn't work (run for a moment and print "no disk").
