  Hello

  You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
  Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
  Press F12.

  Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

  In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

• Satellite M30 - restore the external DVD drive

  Device name: TOSCD001
  Number of units: 1

  Insert the recovery CD #1!

  Hello Sammer

  Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used as internal drive only. I put t think you will be able to use it with an external device. On the restore CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to fix it for use with an external device.

• I'll be able to use the external dvd drive on microsoft surface?

  I like really the surface so far and I was wondering if I'll be able to use an external dvd drive on the surface because there only 1 usb port.

  Yes.

  You can attach an external USB hub or port replicator and connect USB devices to one. And, if connected to the network, you can use the DVD player on any other computer network with any active permissinns and sharing.

• Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

  Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

  I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

  Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

  Method 2:

   

  Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

  b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

  c. check if the hard drive is present here.

  Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

  b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

  Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

• Implement the external dvd drive on iMac

  Hello

  My superdrive drive started acting funny (not eject disks and then do not read), so I bought an external dvd reader/player.
  Everything worked fine until I installed an SSD instead the superdrive.
  Now, when I go to play a DVD in the DVD drive external drive says "there was an error of initialization, a valid dvd drive could not be found."

  Other applications do not recognize the dvd either, as they did.

  Disk utility will find the dvd if it is in drive but you will not find the player if there is no DVD.

  Is there something I can do to recognize the DVD player as the default player for the iMac?

  Thank you

  iMac 24 inch early 2009

  El Capitan updated

  DVD writer Samsung laptop, SE208

  There is nothing to recognize without a disc in the DVD player. It's normal. Apple's DVD player software does not work on my iMac 2009 with the original drive in an external case because I also installed an SSD in the optical Bay. I use VLC to watch videos. My disc burning software, Toast, recognizes external very well.

  The problem is that my hard drive is scrap, so I purchest a new 500 gb HDD, instaled it put in the disk I got with him and nothing?
  Hope any 1 here can help me

  Thanks a lot steve!

  In general you can swap the HARD drive or update it with more a (ability), but the installation of recovery should work. It is important to use compatible HARD drive for certain system.
  I did several times in the past. No problem at all.

  After HDD change the value of the BIOS default settings and start recovery installation using created the recovery disc.

  Start your laptop and when you see Toshiba welcome screen pres F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
  When the menu is displayed on the screen, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive.
  In the menu choose you CD/DVD and press ENTER.
  Installation of recovery should start.

  Please do so and send feedback.

• Laptop running Windows 7 does not start if the external hard drive is connected

  I know what is already on a thread, but here it is again (i.e. thread became uncontrollable anyway and did not offer me solutions). I have an ASUS K53S laptop computer Series and use it as a desktop PC. It sits on my desk and never move, I plugged my larger screen, a keyboard and mouse, printer and external hard drive that I keep all my information on i rarely save to local disk. These things represent more than ports USB to the laptop, I have a hub 4 ports on there also. It is just background information; I mean, the laptop is a must.

  Here's the problem: when I start, as I do every morning, I used to see ASUS inspire Innovation - first of all, persistent Perfection for about 1 second, then the laptop will just get on the job and complete its start-up in about a minute (including login). Which was very good until a few days ago when things started slows down a bit, then I rebooted as I always used to with my Windows XP tour. All closed but return is reactivated and it hung on the opening screen of ASUS and show no signs of getting further. I went outside and continued on another work that does not need a computer, thinking that if I ignored it it would be bit go further, but I came back hours later to find that it is always locked.
  Well after a little, I took the plug my external hard drive, and he continued to start where he left off, like nothing had happened.
  This settled this possibility, but before that, I had established a thing; I need to connect my external hard drive before starting, otherwise it wouldn't connect properly.
  When I managed to finally get both going at the same time (Yes, after some persistence, he recognized the drive but I still would like a solution to this when it exists), I looked at the hard drive and all my files are corrupted or something. photos are not valid, some files that I know to have files in appear them as empty and I can't make any sense at all. Is there someone out there who has had this problem before and fixed, and if so, how?
  My external hard drive is a Seagate 1 TB, if it helps.
  I really want an answer to this, I have data on that disc that I need and I'm not.

  If the problem affects only one PC it says its something specific to this PC.

  Is there traces of yellow warning in Device Manager?

  At whatever it is updated / installed on this PC before this problem, or run a maintenance utility?

  If there is no warning of the Device Manager, then if you perform a clean boot PC http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 NB this isn't the manual method the Fixit which helps?

• Load Windows XP from external DVD drive

  Replaced the hard drive on laptop. DVD drive does not work on the laptop. How to install windows XP from an external DVD drive hard disk new?

  You must change the boot order in the BIOS of your computer.

  The boot order is order this computer tries to start from, for example, it can check the internal DVD first, then if there is nothing in there, go to the hard drive.

  You need to plug in your external DVD drive (it's probably USB).

  Then go into the BIOS setup - search for boot order and move the external DVD drive to the top of the boot list, so this is the first device to be "started" from.

  Then restart your laptop and then it should boot from the external DVD drive, which probably contains the installation media for Windows XP (DVD/CD).

• Connect the external DVD player to Satelite Z930

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Toshiba external dvd drive, which officially supports win7 and Vista (no mention of 8) of the brand.

  The external dvd drive is model PA3834A-1DV2 aka Portable SuperMulti Drive

  When I connect this drive with one or two USB connections (SuperMulti drive has 2 USB connections), there's enough power to the drive eject and spin, but the computer does not display the drive in my computer. It is displayed in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation however.

  Y at - it no formal or informal word there is a way for this device works with Windows 8 on the Z930?

  My apologies if I should have posted this in a different thread.

  Which is really strange. I have the external BD drive and it is automatically recognized by Win7 or Win8.
  You use original Win8 preinstalled that you got with your laptop or you install on your own?

• Qosmio F30 - how to get started using the external CD/DVD drive?

  Hello Mr President

  I have a Qosmio F30. My CD/DVD drive does not work. I have the USB CD/DVD drive, but I think that F30 does not support external USB CD/DVD drive to boot to the top.

  Please help me. Now, how can I boot Windows XP CD?

  At first, I must say that I really wonder why you do not have something to trade integrated optical drive. Qosmio F30 is not that old laptop and is perhaps the warranty still valid. You should check with the partner of service authorized in your country.

  For start with external peripheral is not so easy because the external drive doesn't recognize started upward. Theoretically you should either external ODD visible to your Qosmio. For older laptop, it is possible if you start Notepad in pilot mode and load BACK to BACK. After doing this you have access to the external hard drive and can start the installation.

  You can do this with your Qosmio laptop?
