• NOT READING DVD-ROM and replaced by ghosts DVD drive drivers

  I have an ACER Aspire 5520 laptop with WINDOWS VISTA... and before I continue, let me say that I have been a loyal user of Windows for many years... BUT WHAT ME LOST MY MIND NEVER LOVE! Everything in FACT RANDOM, my DVD/RW has stopped working. First he did on my Windows XP PC and I thought, well, maybe it's 6 years old, time to upgrade. BUT now its happened on my laptop. I was watching a DVD at 8 o'clock in the morning. I go to sleep, wake up, DVD players do not work. I have a multitude of technical knowledge so I did everything that a person can do without breaking the system or files or material damage. There is no error and more it can not find any material to burn or play CDs or DVDs. CODES NOT... and the reason is the following:

  MY LAPTOP HAS A DVD GHOST ON IT. It is not the real player... I have no idea why it is installed, but it is. The drivers are the SAME ones my car needs.

  I have a

  HL-Hitachi-LG GSA - T20N (AARK104) Super multi DVD Rewriter SN/708HP090709

  The computer tells me that it is a:

  HIF 3GMNC96ZWX2 SCSI CD-ROM drive

  WHY is happening. Why is this drive here? Come to think of it, he's always been there, but he never asked me no problem. Never had to worry about this, because I thought it was a drive partioned... but come to think of it, why would you need to support removable partion.

  YES, community of microsoft, I don't want to seem rude here, or be a thorn in the pants of someone, but this is absolute BULL. There is no drivers on the Acer site. NONE on the HP website. NONE on the website microsoft and you guessed it, NONE on the LG site... _, they do not even have the product on the site AT ALL! It is absolutely stupid. There are MILLIONS of us who use these products and help these companies and all THE of THEM do not give enough of fools who are we actually do things that WORK... and I've been faithful to Microsoft. I guarantee to update, and the representative of the customer couldn't help me... especially because she couldn't understand me, but it is another question. Someone please, please help me. How can I make this computer re - recognize this drive and how to prevent this from happening? Thank YOU for your time. I will be greatly appreciated. I wish I could pay you, but I spent only 49.99 for assistance from a representative, who got only to uninstall, reboot and reset... AS I had no FACT THAT 9million times before... Sorry, just angry and purge. :)

  Hey Batman,.

  The reason why you can not find the driver is because the player is no longer supported.

  You can try the following additional methods and see if he has any of it.

  Method 1:

• Installation of Vista on the new disk HARD of DVDs of resettlement

  Hello!

  Is it possible to use the reinstallation of Windows came with my Dell laptop DVD to install Windows on a new HARD drive for the same computer laptop?  I didn't upgrade the HARD drive of my laptop for something newer, bigger and faster, but I want to assure you that I will be able to use the reinstall DVD before investing in the new HARD drive.  I have not been able to develop a response straight yes or no from the comments I've seen online (something on the DVD works only with the original Dell hardware?).

  Here's my laptop specs:

  -Model: Dell XPS m1330

  -Age: 4.5 years

  -OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit (I have reinstallation DVD provided with the laptop - one marked "already installed on your computer" - as well as the Dell drivers and utilities CD)

  -Material: All material is as I received Dell - I did Exchange something out.

  Thanks in advance for your understanding!

  Mariko

  Resettlement is precisely what this DVD is for.  Dell offers a page of links to help owners restore their computers here: restore and reinstall Windows on a Dell computer.  For a blank hard drive, you must go to step 4: manual reinstallation.  Forum member Natakuc4 has written some pages with lots of additional information that might be useful, found here: install clean windows.

  It is also possible to clone your existing HDD to shorten the time required to restore your computer, but with a laptop, need you also a shell of USB external hard drive.  I can't speak for all providers, but I know that Seagate and Western Digital offer a free version of Acronis True Image on their web pages to the owners of their hard drives.  This application allows you to transfer an image of your existing hard drive to a new hard drive in less than an hour (usually - depends on how much is on the discs).

• My mother in disk hard laws burned and I replaced it with a new one when I went to reload the operating system, it would not accept the access key. How can I get a new one? with out having to buy new software?

  How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?

  Hello

  There are several potential issues at stake here.

  First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.

  Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side.  If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."

  Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key.  You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.

  Hope that helps.

• How to remove the DVD ROM on the Satellite L300D 242?

  Hello

  my laptop (* Toshiba L300D 242 *) DVD ROM has been damaged and I have acquired a new and now I can not figure out how to remove my old DVD ROM and replace it with a new one... Please help me understand how to remove the old and replace it with a new one...
  Thank you...
  E-mail: [[email protected]]

  Agree with Feliks the ODD is secured by a screw hidden in the HARD drive Bay.
  So the HARD drive Bay cover must be removed to access this screw procedure is not really difficult, so you should be able to remove it easily.

• Re: Satellite A100-207 player of DVD-ROM must be replaced

  My DVD - ROM drive has stopped reading / recognition of the disks. It is not a case of needing a disc cleaner so I think it plays up and needs to be replaced. Someone has any advice / manuals etc. to know how to get chase him and the perils of trying such a replacement?

  I would appreciate all the advice really.

  Thank you.

  I tried once in my previous laptop, it is not as easy as a desktop PC, because readers of the laptop are not exactly standard.

  The façade of the new player was not properly aligned, and I could not transfer the front plate of the defective drive because the buttons and the clips are different.
  More it would work even without the façade, the laptop simply failed to detect.

  I think it was a firmware issue.

  So if you want a replacement, the best option would be to go to a Toshiba Service Center and replace the disk with a real. You may even be able to upgrade to a DVD-R/W drive.

  Are but before you replace the disk, you sure this isn't a software problem? It boot from the bootable CD?
  It may just be the upper/lower filters in the registry.

• DVD-rom replacement

  Hello. just bought hp g6 - 2205sr and you want to replace the dvd - rom with ssd. did I lost the warranty if I do this?

  I understand that you want to know if changing to a second HDD DVD player could void your warranty.

  Withdrawal of the DVD player and to use a disc HARD in its place will not void your warranty.  The warranty for the rest of the components are still in effect, but there are some things you need to know.  If a recovery is necessary, you will need restore the hardware configuration to the original configuration.  This is so that recovery can end as it is written to the system with a single HARD drive installed.  The guarantee for this specific HDD is not covered by HP, but by the manufacturer of the drive (you probably knew that already).  If the appliance must be sent repair, you need more that probably remove the second HDD and the DVD of restoration before sending it.  Keep the reader of DVD handy, just in case you need it for one of these events.

  Let me know if that answers your question.

• Handset video / DVD - ROM works with the output directly to disk

  Hi all

  I have produced a combined video / DVD-ROM and have many problems with the release:

  1. when I write the project directly to a DVD, everything is ok

  But in my current project, I wanted to write the project to a folder on the hard drive (just to send a master copy online)...

  2. when I write the project to a folder on the hard disk, the video_ts is ok, but data (html with 8 related videos) will not play correct: on the start page, there is a video-slider with preview-pictures, which are related to the videos. The cursor does not show the preview images...

  Question: Which again in my data? I thought, still only Copy files. But oviously, yet transmitted data by writing on the hard disk in a different way, just by writing on the DVD. Someone at - it experience with this situation?

  3 another problem: when I replaced the section of incorrect data on the folder on the hard drive with the accurate data of the correct output of DVD - ROM section, everything is ok - when I open the files in the folder on the hard drive. But when I burn a DVD with this mixture, my DVD Player cannot play this DVD. I compared this DVD with the correct DVD and didn't recognize any difference. In particular, there is a folder video_ts correct on two DVDs

  Again, the question is: which again with the data? Respectively, which makes it a readable DVD / not readable by DVD players.

  Someone at - it an idea, what's not here?

  Best regards

  Markus

  Hi Markus,.

  Exactly HOW you burn the file to the hard drive on a DVD? So simply burn the VIDEO_TS folder on disk in the form of DATA, that's why it does not work in the DVD player. To be a legal-spec DVD compatible with set-top players, DVD must be burned as 'DVD Video'. The files are arranged in a certain way on the drive, there is maybe a flag on the disc, which indicates that it is 'DVD Video', etc.

  Add any DVD-Rom content in yet, then try to build an IMAGE file (.iso) of reminder rather than a 'folder' on the hard drive. Use any burning software that allows a .iso as a source and will create a good DVD. Or use a free program like "ImageBurn" and select "Video DVD" when you save the file on the disk if you want to continue using the method of the folder. But I don't think you can add more data in the VIDEO_TS folder where it is saved on the hard drive, only add content in yet.

  I think VLC Media Player will play DVD file .iso if my memory is

  Thank you

• How to replace the CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello

  My laptop's dvd - rom drive is old and broken, now that I have here an other dvd - rom drive, but I don't know how to remove the old dvd - rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manuals how to replace the dvd - rom drive?

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure on the CD/DVD drive replacement on this laptop, but I assume that the procedure is very similar to other portable players.
  For the most part the ODD is secured with the screw at the bottom of the unit.
  You will need to remove this screw to get out and to swap the drive.

  But be careful and don t there if you have no experience!
  Moreover, not all readers are compatible and supported in reason parameters master/slave/c-salt. If you n t know which drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for advice!

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):
