Matshita-dvd-ram-uj-850s-ata-device-driver

How can I help this situation? Are there ways thruogh which I can get the update drivers for this drive to help activate it? Or what can solve my problem here? Please I do need to be helped out as soon as possible.

My Matshita-DVD-RAM-UJ-850S cannot be recognized completely. Can you help us?

After spending over 8 hours last weekend doing all the fixes imaginable (deleting registries, etc.), I went on a search to buy a new drive. I have a Vaio VGN-fe880. This was an incredible chore. Sony wanted $470 for a replacement, piss me off. I finally found one at a place called Pell electronics for about $200. And supposedly it's fitted for my Vaio model. You have to be careful about the bezel and bit end to fit the side of your laptop. It came in the mail but I'm on the road so can't test it yet.

Needless to say I'm fairly hacked off about this. The computer is only a year and a half old.

Thank you so much! That registry fix worked perfect. just had to uninstall the DVD then scan for hardware changes in the device driver. Perfect!

really thank you very very much it works nowwwwwwwwww

pl help me out. my laptop does not recognise my matshita cd/dvd rom drive. my operating sys is vista. it's a sony vaio lap top.

I it really works without reconfigure your laptop thank you tinyurl.com/toshibadvd

this fix really works, and not just for the toshiba drives. i just used the fix to get a sony optiarc and a noname brand dvd drive functional. it is a reg fix, so it should woirk with any drive.

Thanks J-Train. Your message and the link was what was needed for my dead dvd-ram. Much appreciated.

I have this problem, which is, i can run audio cd, but not those software cd(games,program) or dvd(games,movie) or vcd. so, should i oso go to the website given up there ? please help me a.s.a.p

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

MUCH THANKS FOR THIS INVALUABLE INFORMATION!!!

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on a VGN-AR350E SONY VAIO laptop. Since this post was provided with a use at your own risk disclaimer for laptops other than Toshiba, I backed up the entries that my system had before executing the reg fix.

My system only had the following 2 of the total entries in the fix so I backed them up first to be safe:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{­4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdral­w2k]

I removed the device in device manager, executed your fix and re-scanned for the device. All is well now.
So I can affirm that this fix is also applicable for the SONY VGN-AR350E laptops that have the matshita dvd-ram uj-850s dvd-rom installed also.

I'd tried everything including downloading and installing the shared components from the sony site and any downloads that were applicable to my model without any success. I thought I was going to have to dish out some bucks to fix this but your post is a Godsend.

THX and be blessed.

Works like a charm! Cheers!

Thanx for the site j-train, i really appreciate it. Been having a similar problem with my Acer Aspire 3684, running vista home basic. Followed the link and was using my dvd again in about 2 minutes flat.

Is this registry fix the same as going through regedit, system, controlset, classs and deleting upperfilters or lower filers?
and does the drive write cd or dvd after the fix?
