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?

  • In the BIOS boot order stopped showing my external DVD player

    I use a laptop HP Compaq presario V3000 series, model no. V3018TU. I use a DVD drive with her as my internal DVD player does not work properly.

    External DVD drive functions correctly after windows starts. The problem is that he displayed in the boot order. I want to install Ubuntu alongside with XP. I am not able to give priority to installing Ubuntu on boot as it is not showing in the boot order. After starting my laptop, it starts to load XP.

    That's what I was doing just before this problem arose. Everything was fine. I was installing Ubuntu along side Windows XP my laptop and in-between the installation got stuck and my hard drive was not working when I rebooted, I made my hard drive to work somehow and then I found another problem, i.e.my external DVD drive is not showing in the boot order. All the other things i.e.my hard drive, internal DVD player (does not work correctly) etc., appear but except for my external DVD player. I need my external DVD player to display in the boot order to install ubuntu.

    Help me fix the problem. Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite M30 - restore the external DVD drive

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the drive DVD internal Multi - replacement will take a month or two to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I connected an external DVD drive to the machine. When I start the machine starts on the restore CD but seems so looking for a Player X, I get the following messages displayed on the screen of the BACK:

    Device name: TOSCD001
    Number of units: 1

    CDR101: Not ready reading drive X
    Quit, retry, fail?

    Insert the recovery CD #1!

    What should I do?

    Kind regards
    Sameer

    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.

  • Portege R700 - external DVD Player compatibility

    I have a problem with a Samsung external super-multi drive 2 year with my new Portege R700-1F3, which does not come with a DVD player. The USB powered Samsung dvd player works fine with all other computers that I have access to:
    * MacBook with OS X 10.5
    * Samsung NP - X 360 laptop computer with Windows XP 32-bit
    * Dell Inspiron Zino HD computer desktop with Windows 7 64 bit

    The symptoms are:
    * When the dvd player is plugged in Portege, the green light on the dvd player goes on and out.
    * This happens in the BIOS, and once that Windows 7 32-bit support.
    * In Control Panel Windows 7 devices & printers, the DVD alternately appear & disappear constantly.
    * When it appears, it shows up as "USB storage device" with a yellow! warning icon.

    I tried all 3 USB ports. The power cable is plugged Portege. I tried the turn of the digital signature when starting upwards. The external dvd came free with my old laptop from Samsung and is the model AA-ES0N09B.

    Any suggestion that this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you
    Lola

    Hi Lola,.

    Have you tried other USB devices on your Portege R700 if they work properly?

    If peripheral USB do some problems I would try to remove the USB ports from the Device Manager (right click > uninstall) and restart your computer. After that, the USB ports will be recognized again and you are able to use them.

    If it doesn t help I would try a driver update from the official website of Toshiba chipset. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/

    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

  • All trying to record music on a software, connect the external input jack does not cut its computer system.

    Original title: external recording

    While trying to record music on a software, connect the external input jack is

    Seems that you can set with precision in the application (whatever it is) where to get sound input or configuration in the audio to enable driver software disabled the internal MIC (manually each time, or automatic if the driver has this feature.)
     
    Basically - you must look in the configuration of your audio device (third-party drivers) and/or the configuration of the 'software' you are trying to use to "save the music".

  • Satellite X 200 and replace the HD-DVD player

    G ' Day

    I'm looking to replace the HD-DVD drive in my Toshiba X 200 (PSPBUA-00N007) with a Blu - Ray player (or burner). They are on the market yet and available at Toshiba (or, say, eBay)? What should I look for?

    The HD-DVD player is a cool historical anachronism, but Blu - Ray will probably be a little more useful for me in the future.

    Cheers for the help.

    As far as I know, there are some Blueray drives on the market that can be used in the notebook. But the fact is that not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    I didn t find information on compatible BR readers. I guess you will have to test it yourself.

    Is there a question here?

    Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.

    * More about SD2010KY DVD player + * bought on a month back...

    Any kind dbo know the answer to:

    Could it be caused damage to run a USB connection external 3 1/2 "HD (160 g) - say a .avi movie - into the USB port on the front of the unit?

    That is to say, power supply of the unit will be responsible for the extra bit Ok?

    Or is this the wrong forum to ask this detail? :)

    Thank you - everything you need to know about would of course be appreciated...

    See you soon

    To be honest, it is Toshiba forum created for calculation problems.
    In any case, check the drive specification to see if the USB port has enough power for external HARD disk. I had old DVD player and I could only use USB keys.

    You can try to connect USB HDD to see if the drive will be recognized correctly. You won't damage anything.

  • 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.

  • 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.
