CD burner to upgrade for DVD/CD Burner writer on 2005 Dell XPS 400

Hello. I have a hard time with my update of the DVD/CD burner on my XPS 400 desktop Tower. It's a workaholic and work PC has a 3.0 Ghz dual-core, 64-bit processor and plenty of RAM. I bought a new ASUS DVD/CD writer (compatibility problem?) and an adapter to convert from IDE to SATA. Windows does not recognize the new hardware. It is not in the BIOS or Device Manager. I tried all possible 'fix - it' I could find online, and nothing works! In a Tech forum, someone said that the IDE to SATA can be bad? I do not know. Is there a specific CD/DVD writer should I buy for this year, brand and model of turn Dell? Is it ASUS we may be incompatible?  There used to be only a CD burner, which worked well. It also has a CD Rom/DVD drive, that work fine, but now it does not work after you install the new burner.
Frustrated.
Does anyone have answers here?

Attach one end of a cable to SATA data to a SATA port on the motherboard and the other end into the connector on the back of the new burner SATA data. You will also need to connect the burner to the power supply. Finally, ensure that the SATA port is enabled in the BIOS.

  • Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

    I apologize in advance for the long post...

    Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

    I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

    When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

    I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

    What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

    Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

    Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

    Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

    Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

    The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

    For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

    1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

    2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

    3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

    4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

    5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

    6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

    These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

    I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

  • blue screen nvlddmkm.sys for nVidia GeForce 9500 M on studio dell XPS 1340. recently upgradeed to windows 7, fine for a while but now cela and has many problems: BSOD, freezing, CPU utilization more... I DO __HOW FIX IT?

    Hi, well bad get right to it. I have a dell studio XPS 1340 and have recently upgraded to Windows 7 last week. everything was fine until last Monday. When I switched high performance mode for my battery, my nVidia card also goes to Boost Performance. but this time, I got a blue screen with this:

    nvlddmkm.sys

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    Since then I tried to update the video driver from the dell site and even the nVidiasite. one of them gives me a blue screen as soon as I get to the windows login screen. and the other divides my GeForce 9500 M into its two parts > GF 9400 MG + GF 9200 AMS. When this happens, I can't use the nvidia Control Panel and I can't go to boost performance. I have uninstalled and installed these drivers in safe mode too, but no luck. I system restored before the weekend, when everything was fine, but still the same problem. so now, I have the driver 8.15.11.8633 version

    other side effects I've noticed is that Skype does not work either. When I first upgraded to win 7, Skype has worked well. but now, when I run a video or normal call, my computer completely freezes. In addition, the games I play seem to decrease in performance. I used to be able to play very good Burnout Paradise, but now there is a significant drop in fps. also, the computer seems to use more cpu and heats more quickly. The battery life has decreased too. and when I use windows media center to connect with my xbox360, my phone freezes when I try to access a video.

    I tried the diagnostics start and the only problem was:

    Error code: 0F00:133 media suitible C Msg:No drive is present

    and today, I used the windows debugger and it came with it. im sure this is good information, but I don't know how interperate it. Please help and thanks in advance!

    Hello. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the DVD/CD-RW combo on my A60-106? There is nothing wrong with the origonal, but DVD write speeds also have multiplied since I my A60. I burn a lot of discs, and any increase in speed would be a major asset. If the upgrade is possible, am I limited to real Tosh or is there any of the third-party available-based jobbies. My current drive is a Pioneer DVR-K13A.

    Thanks in advance.

    Brian

    Hi Brian,.

    You can certainly replace your optical drive with a new. You will need to ensure that the new disk is the same size as the original (i.e. its physical dimensions), and uses the same connectivity as your original (master, slave, or Cable Select). This last point can be problematic, because very few third-party resellers list actually what setting of their readers.

    As for the actual burn speed, you can see that other factors will affect this. you will find many posts in these forums related to the low burning rate.

    Good luck

  • Power supply upgrade for my Dell XPS 8100?

    But...

    740 GT is not much faster that the Radeon 5570 then this isn't much of an upgrade. What do you who needs 4 GB of RAM - V?

    Have you watched a 4 GB GTX 750 ti? Much faster...

    If you go with a GT 740, according to me, he can use less energy than the 5570, and if you buy a 'green' BluRay burner, it can use less energy than your current optical drive.

    Hello

    Burn speed changes how fast your disc is burned and will not affect the final product. Combustion speed depends on how fast your burner is. This takes a little more time, but help prevent ignores and does not burn (including waste essentially a disk). The slower burning speeds are best for playback in car stereos or older devices with protection features lower jump.
    Audio CD hold 80 minutes of music regardless of the size of the file in megabytes. For example, regardless of if your burn list consists of songs from 1Mo encoded at 96 Kbps or 3 MB songs encoded at 196 Kbps - all that matters, it's how long the songs are.
     

    Burning speed: it is not usually necessary to set the burn speed unless you encounter problems in the fire; in this case, reduce the burn speed may fix the problem. This setting applies to all burners that you use with your computer.

  • Clean install with upgrade HP DVD Wizard

    If I had to do a clean install of W7 with the hp upgrade disk, can I still use the upgrade wizard AFTER install to get the drivers and other things on this disc of the wizard, or is it just to use "upgrades"?

    Also, read the instructions on the Web site, it is said to run the wizard disk before installing W7, but I guess just do it if you do an upgrade and not a clean install. Is this correct?

    Dan,

    The desktop upgrade assistant DVD works almost the same way as the portable version.  It will check your BIOS and if necessary, install the latest version.  And Yes, insert the DVD after the custom/clean installed.  The drivers and software for your model will be installed.
