Adding a DVD - ROM Samsung (IDE) to a hp p6540f

• Adding second DVD - Rom SATA HP Pavilion with only 2 SATA power connectors.

  Try to add a second SATA DVD Rom but do not see more SATA power connectors?  I tried to discuss with Tech, desperate!  Don't understand.  The system came with a SATA hard drive and a SATA DVD/BlueRay so both SATA power connectors are used.  I do not see another SATA power connector in the system, but there are at least 2 connectors SATA DATA more on the system board.  You can even add the old style DVD of as the connectors on the system board do not exsist for the old style DVD ROM.  What they do a converter to SATA power adapter or am I missing something?  Strange.

  If there is not a spare SATA power connection, maybe sometjhing like this would help:

• Solution: CD - RW / DVD Rom stutters or has choppy playback

  My computer specs

  Labtop model: Dell Inspiron 5150

  DVD ROM: Samsung CDRW / DVD SN - 324B

  Problem

  After reformatting my hard drive, my DVD-Rom is more play DVD smoothly. I had the playback choppy or stuttering. I use Intervideo WinDVD. Thinking that WinDVD could be the problem I went to Windows Media Player 10, but instead of reading who stutters, the film played too fast.

  The reading was also weird, if I rebooted my computer and used WinDVD immediately, he would run smoothly, but eventually he would return to stuttering. Due to the eccentricity of this work and does not, it was difficult to identify a solution that has worked permanently (this is also the reason why I had edited this post so many times). So, I've listed all of my conclusions and solutions below.

  Solutions

  Difficulty 1

  Download the last update of the BIOS from Dell downloads.

  Here are the direct links for the Dell Inspiron 5150, I posted the update of WinDVD so. Since April 18. 2008:

  Update to the BIOS: ftp://ftp.dell.com/bios/I5150A38.exe

  Update of WinDVD: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/app/R62171.EXE

  I guess this would work with the other laptop Dell with their respective BIOS updates.

  My results: Windows Media Player was playing much too fast, this corrects the problem DVD. However, regarding the choppy playback, I still had some problems.

  Difficulty 2

  Change your power settings.

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Double-click Power Options
  3. Under the systems tab, select laptop

  My results: Combined with the update of the A38 BIOS, it seems to work ok.

  Difficulty 3

  It is recommended to make your IDE controllers are in DMA not PIO mode.

  Here is a useful link on the Dell Forum, he speaks of the PIO to DMA:

  http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.ID=dim_cdrom&message.ID=144385&query.ID=285841#M144385

  PIO DMA another link:

  http://winhlp.com/node/10

  My results: System has already been set to Ultra DMA Mode 2, so this fix did not work for me.

  Level 4:

  During choppy playback, I fiddled with the settings of DVD players and was able to play the DVD without problem.

  For Intervideo WinDVD:

  1. Right click on the area of the screen, select Setup
  2. On the Video tab, uncheck the "Use hardware decode acceleration" and uncheck the box "use acceleration hardware color."

  I don't remember the exact settings uncheck Windows Media Player 10. But if you want to try this solution with this drive, I can point you in the right direction.

  1. Go to tools > Options
  2. Then click on the performance tab
  3. Under video acceleration, tap Advanced Options

  There are options for the video acceleration and DVD video below. "Use Video Mixing Renderer", might be what I unchecked, you'll have to fiddle around for yourself.

  My results: Best solution for me, never had a problem since. I use Intervideo WinDVD. The colours become slightly darker; I think they look better. (Note: I installed the new BIOS before that)

• Samsung DVD - ROM SD - 616E driver will not play DVDs in Windows xp sp3 Home Edition

  Dear supporters, Im having problems playing movies on my Samsung DVD - ROM SD-616E installed on my Windows XP SP3 Home Edition Dell Dimension 2350..., a box of lil in the center of my watch windowsmedia player a message saying no compatible dvd decoder is not installed? Help, please? thanx.

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  VLC Media Player
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• Reader of CD-R/DVD-ROM (IDE) of K LITE-ON COMBO SOHC 4836 opens not (mechanical)

  I can't use the original CD-R/DVD-ROM drive, because he that is no longer open tray drawer. It's a mechanical problem, I've tried several times unsuccessfully to fixation. It's my only optical drive, and I can't find an IDE drive to replace, because everything I've found so far is SATA not IDE ATA.

  My computer recognizes the drive, but this isn't a software problem, so it can't be fixed with troubleshooting app.

  I went to NewEgg and an engraver of CD/DVD ASUS DRW-241st/BLK/DOWN black SATA 24 X bought last week. It happened a few days ago, and I tried to install it, but he found the new driver has no receiver necessary required power (a cable IDE socket receiver) plug at the rear of the unit. I had to request a RMA from NewEgg number for refund.

  What should I do? I need a CD/DVD drive of work!

  My PC is a 2006 Compaq Presario desktop SR 1930 t CTO, with Windows XP (home edition) operating system.

  Last year I replaced the original with a 480W 300W PSU (has supposedly 'support SATA', but I don't know what that means). I know there is only a single receiver plug on the ASUS drive, and several card receivers on my drive LITE-ON.

  Help, please!

  My bad.  I didn't notice that I've linked drive was just a ROM.

  This small converter looks interesting.  I had not seen this before.  It should work OK if you have peripheral space being tacked on to the back of the drive.  Well done.

• Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

  1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
  But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

  2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

  3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

  Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

  1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

  2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

  3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

  Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.

• Carpet * UJ - 831S DVD-ROM slows down by Satellite M40X 118

  the secondary IDE channel is in PIO mode, is this normal (shouldn't too much would it in DMA mode?) and can it be the source of the problem?

  When dvd - rom does not work only the computer is slower but usb transfers becomes almost impossible... bytes per minute

  On my laptop (primary and secondary) IDE channels is on DMA if available.
  It s an auto setting. But I can choose between PIO only and DMA if available.
  I guess you should be able to change also.

• My Satellite M40X: DVD Rom has had serious problem

  Dear friends,

  my laptop worked for 3 months without any problem.these days when I put a CD in DVD rom is not recognized and a error message on the screen that says that no cd is in the drive.could would be a software problem or it's definitely a hardware malfunction. I look forward seriously to your instructions

  Amir

  Installed some burning software, burning plugins or something similar? In most cases, these programs are the troublemakers. Try to uninstall all your burning stuff, and maybe it's a good idea that you download a reference (such as ultimate boot cd cd; Link: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html) or memtest (http://www.memtest86.com/) and try to boot from the cd. When the CD starts correctly, then you know it's something with the configuration of your software.

  Try it :)

• CD/DVD ROM IO error - please help

  Hi all

  I've just adapted to a new TEAC DW-224th on my TECRA S1 because the former was damaged (it has been detected, but its mechanics did not work at all after an access to an airport). This is detected by the operating system (Win XP) and mechanical works, but the LED flashes (orange) continuously and no media can not be read. When I try to open it in the OS Explorer issues the message "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.". You have any ideas how I can fix it or if I should go and buy a new one. It's very frustrating not to make a CD/DVD-ROM that works...

  Thank you

  Hi iliant

  Can you please tell me if this new device is the same as the previous model? I ask this question because all DVD devices may not work correctly with all models of laptops.

  I also found an interesting article on this issue. Please check on http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891894.

• P10: DVD / DVD-ROM problems

  Hi guys!

  Hope you can help, probably something stupid, I forgot. I have the P10 series with a Combo DVD - ROM SD-R2412 type. I recently put a new installation of the op (XP) system by using the system restore disks. Since then, my cd drive reads DVD movies and normal cd but not DVD ROM such a DVD - ROM games. Any ideas? Windows XP sees it as a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, but that's all.

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Hello

  I'm not sure but I think that your device has a DVD - RAM drive. I have the same drive in my Satellite and everything works perfectly. I really don t understand how something like this possible is especially after the reinstallation of the operating system with recovery CD.

  I put t know if you use the original games store or some houses burned. Try to use many different DVD media to know what problem one makes.

• Replacement of a DVD-Rom on a satellite S1410-S104

  Can someone advise me on how to replace the DVD-Rom on my S1410 SAT with a ligthscribe-RW.
  I had hoped it would simply be a case of declipsant something and he would slide as many other models of laptop, but still, I can't have the old dvd - rom out.
  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure, but at the bottom of the unit, you should find a screw that holds the road. In my opinion, you should remove this screw. But be careful.

  Good bye

• Tecra S1: CD-ROM/dvd-rom is now read-only

  Replaced broken unit of hard drive and OS changed from XP to 2000.
  Since then, the cd - dvd rom drive died while I used to be able to burn CDs... checked, but seems the drivers are fine. Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's very strange. As far as I know operating system or a specific HARD drive has no influence on the functionality of CD/DVD. It is interesting that if the drive is faulty, the engraving option has disappeared, but the reader can read the media without problem.

  If I remember correctly your unit a select drive from the Bay and if it is possible try to check with the other identical device.
