thx, soz, i wasnt sure which it should be put in, so played it safe and put both, won't do it again though... LOL

Has anyone found a solution the this problem yet. I've been given the file that corrects this by PC world. Its a winrar file called "FilterCheck".
I dont know how it works but it has on my drive and 3 other people's with different makes of drive. You really have to argue to get this from PC world because they dont want to give it away but they has agreed it is a common fault on laptops.

Hi and Welcome,

there are different ways to resolve that issue.
At first, it should be started with this MSKB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
For XP users, there is a guided help that should work. For other flavours of Windows, the registry has to be edited manually.
More easily to handle is the "Filter Driver Load Order" option in ImgBurn.

hello...i'm having problems too with my TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632D DE04 drive...my problem is that it wont burn cd nor dvds.
it plays them perfectly but wont burn.
i've tried alot of dvd software to try and replace this error but to no luck....when i try to burn a dvd/cd it reads it then ask to insert a blank cd/dvd....then it starts to write but stops shortly after... i've tried a few of the posted soluton but that didnt help either....plzzzzzz help...urgently.....(starts to burn then stop)

Welcome to CD Freaks.

With what are you trying to burn?

Can you post a log of the failed burns?

i've tried burning with nero roxio.... dvdshrink... dvdsanta but none works...when it fails it just says burning image failed...thats all
i just tried burning a cd and it stop at 53% and displayed that error


slim...

Can you try to use ImgBurn to burn a disc? You can just make an image with Nero, then burn it with ImgBurn. Then post the log from ImgBurn here.

well i tried doing that and theis appeared
"DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME)Failed!
Device:[3:0:0] TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632D DE04 (D (ATA)
Unable to lock volume for exclusive access
Reason: Access is denied.

Cancel Retry Continue

i clicked on continue and then it said write failed... so what now?????

Post the log of the failed burn.

Do you have any software such as Alcohol, Daemon Tools, CloneDVD, etc. installed? These programs [or Windows Media Player] may precent ImgBurn from getting exclusive access to the drive.

of the above listed....i only have windows media player
i dont get a burn failure log....just an error box appear on the screen

Please use imgburn and post the log.
Alternatively you could boot up into SAFE MODE and try again with Imgburn.

I just want to confirm that this drive is crap. It now makes coasters for both cds and dvds after only 5 months of moderate usage! The drive is in a x11 Samsung notebook

Hope this helps anyone, looking for a replacement...anyone have thoughts on the LiteOn DS-8A1P-021?

Thanks!

It is not proved that its the drive in this case.

Please contact the Samsung/TSST support.

I've tried all the things on this forum, without luck. Also been at the IT store to ask for help, also without luck, but then I talked to a friend of mine who said that he fixed a simulare problem with another drive, by updating bios. I got a friend to help me do that, because I've never tried it before and guess what. IT FREAKING WORKED this is so totaly awsome to feel that my computer is now the way it's suppose to be I want to thanks all on this forum for the support that you've given, me and I want all to try and update their bios, since it my be the problem

thx to all and goodbye , hopefully I wont have to come back :P

I'm not on this site much, so I just caught your post. I have a Dell with this burner. You can get a firmware update here:
http://support.dell.com/support/down...&fileid=235346

This is the same firmware for the "D" and the "H". The Samsung flasher is included with the download

I am so sorry folks. The above information is absolutely wrong!! DO NOT CROSSFLASH THIS DRIVE! To quote a fellow member:

"Be aware, that Samsung drives with the same name, but made for different computer manufacturers, are very different. The two letter OEM code (yours is TC) must be the same for flawless flashing."

I hope I've not caused anyone problems with my bad information. I will be much more careful in the future.

I just found out that my driver for TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D no longer works. i tried updating the driver, uninstalling and reinstalling and so far no success. most of the posts on this thread have to do with burning, but my laptop won't even recognize that i have this drive.
thanks for your help

I've had a similar problem with this drive. Removing the upper and lower filters seemed to help. Here are the directions Dell gave me.

1. In Device Manager delete the burner. To go to device manager, please do the following steps:
a. Hit the "Start" Button.
b. Left click on "Control Panel"
c. Left click on "Switch to Classic View"
d. Double left click on "System" icon
e. Left click on "Hardware" tab
f. Left click on "Device Manager" button
g. Click on the "+" sign next to "DVD/CDROM drives" to expand the entry for that category
h. Right click on the entry that would populate and left click on "uninstall"

2. From Regedit, remove the upper/lower filters. Delete Upper/Lower Filters by doing these:
a. Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key
b. Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
c. Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
d. Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
e. Expand the "Control" Key
f. Expand the "Class" Key
g. Please look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
h. High light this key by left clicking once on it
i. On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these please delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete". Please exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen then reboot your computer

If you have any questions about doing this procedure, contact Dell!!

wow, i can't believe that worked! i mean, no offense, but out of desperation I copied my cd drive into a search engine, found this forum, and a day later problem solved!!! thanks ravenwood!~

You're more than welcome, but don't thank me. There was a post on this topic earlier in this string, and I got the info from Dell. We're both lucky to be part of this forum. And -WELCOME-BTW!

When you have some time, go through this topic as well as others on the board. There's a LOT of information available here and many, many folks who are willing to teach and help. You're part of one of the best forums around!

Hi,

I had the same problem, I was not able to burn dvd or cds with this drive.
My toshiba notebook A135 have a TS-L632D fw:TO03 drive.
The problem started happening after I downgraded to Xp from Vista.
Thanks to the suggestion on deleting the lower and upper filters now I can burn cds and dvds again.

Thanks so much.

Hey folks
I have a Dell Inspirion E1505 with this TSSTCorp TS-L632D DVD burner. Well it seems like it wants to be fickle and not work. After spending some time searching on the net, I found this place. Well I have tried everything to no avail. Burned movies won't work, Regular movies won't work, CD's won't work. But yet the drive is saying that its ok in the Device Manager? No errors, nothing. Now when I put in a disk, seems like a its clicking or clapping of sorts. If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for the great forum!

Hi,

do you have a bootable CD like Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, Kanotix etc. at hand?
If so, then try if you can boot your computer off one of such a CD. If that fails also, then there is likely some hardware issue. In case your computer is still under warranty, contact Dell support then.
Is there some diagnostic partition installed on your computer? Press F12 key after powering up your computer to see.

Michael

I've used my Windows XP disc recently and it read fine......hmmmmmmmm
