dvd players internal vs external

When I bought my desktop computer Dell Vostro 200 mini (1 GB of ram), storage of 60 GB and xp family I do not pay attention to the type of dvd player installed.  All I have is a CD/dvd-rom.  I am wanting to upgrade and do not know much about material things.  I wanted to get some feed back on readers external players vs internal.  I was also wondering if the external size of these players are universal and fit in the slot, I for one additional player.  I know I want a cd/dvd-rw and double layer drive.  Any feed back would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    After the foregoing:

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you have done some before as is often

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device.
    The driver tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then do a RIGHT CLICK
    the reader - UNINSTALL - REBOOT this will refresh the default driver stack. Even

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check
    in both ends of the cables. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For portable computers, you can
    Often, clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system
    Designer and manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case
    (Read burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 pieces
    No function while others do so properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? He
    are some registry entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "might".
    be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and possible device for two firmware
    updates
    and the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive - sub
    the key of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific
    involved as well as the settings key.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    Hey!

    I know that you can remove a dvd cart and replace it with a HD you can get a sata adapter and change a PCI express so I can install a graphics card in the caddy hd for my laptop. y at - it means to get an internal or external graphics card? I do not have a slot express pci laptop because a laptop is relatively new.

    These are all the hardware problems, and this site deals with software issues related to the Windows operating system. I'm sorry this isn't the answer you're looking for, but...

  • Quite different Image quality between all the DVD players and all computers!

    I am new to DVD mastering.  I've been editing for a while, I put my work online or simply write off as a video file, but I was not mastering DVD.  So now that I'm trying to master DVD I had tons of problems!

    The Adobe Encore community has helped me work through more problems, but we seem to be stuck on this one.  So I thought that I better get this post up here in a simple form with pictures showing the problem. I checked it on my computers and many DVD players.  When I write a DVD and watch it on a computer, I get a very nice picture.  Generally very similar to what I saw in the editor.  Certainly the screens and computers settings varry, but it's always something like this:

    ColorCorrect.jpg

    Now when I watch on a DVD player, given different screens and different settings make some difference, but it's always something like that.

    ColorWrong.jpg

    In fact this image it will not do justice to how much it is.  All the reds are blown on and nasty!  On the same screen, I even compared the same accurate framework from the view of movie on a computer and a DVD player.  Same horrible difference.  Of course, I could Desaturate my image to make it look write on a DVD player, but it would be more gray than what I wanted on a computer.

    I need to know why a DVD player would be interpretting the images in a completely different way?

    The right of the Bill.  When you are trying to change, using a properly calibrated external TV (NOT a computer monitor) for color work.  The best monitor of the quality you use, your work will be more accurate.

    After that, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their screen is calibrated.  Most won't, and there is nothing you can do about it.

  • After that I did a refresh, my DVD players is no longer recognize disks

    I made an update of Firefox, after which none of my DVD players recognize a disc.

    an update of Firefox would not change your DVD players, being able to play DVDs, however, will update to windows 10.

    As suggested in this forum, I'd install the free, open-source VLC Player, which allows you to watch DVD free.

  • Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

    Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

    Hello

    Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

    Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

    Hope it makes sense.

  • Satellite 1410-902: DVD players that are compatible?

    My CD of Toshiba s1410-902 is broken and I would like to change to drive DVD or a DVD recorder. The problem is that not all CD/DVD IDE drives will work with this Toshiba. BIOS accepts only final pushes some of the manufacturers, but I don't know which.

    Where can I find the list coplete copmatible for this model of Toshiba DVD players?

    Hello

    You are absolutely right. Each car can not work with every Toshiba laptop. Unfortunately there are no public list on compatible players. I recommend you call service partner in your country and ask them. I presume that they have enough experience on the hardware upgrade.

    Maybe you will be lucky and someone improved the same unit but if not call and ask the technicians.

  • Two DVD players showing in 'My Computer' - Qosmio G20

    Hello

    I have a G20 and for some reason, Ive got two showing in my computer DVD players.

    The first is called "DVD player - RAM" and is known as the D: drive. If I put a CD or DVD in the drive, then it appears on this icon.

    But there is also a second called "DVD player" and it is known as the E: drive. It appears not all of the disks I put in the machine. If I double click on it, it gives just the usual error saying "Please insert a disk in the drive."

    Can someone explain the difference here and why I have this second drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say what is happening here. As far as I know some applications to create virtual drives and I n know not for what applications are preinstalled on your machine.

    Otherwise, you can go by car properties (right mouse button) and click on the Hardware tab. On this site, you will be able to see the type of device.

  • What DVD players are compatible with Equium A60 PSA67E?

    my question; What dvd players are compatible for an equium a60 (psa67e-001001en)?

    background; I did a very stupid thing! while I was at the Japan and about 18 months after buying my a60 in the United Kingdom, the packaged dvd player. I replaced it with a teac dvd player and it worked like a dream! I threw the old disk (I think it was a matsu * has, but can't remember the exact model). in any case, I came home and had a little time on my hands, so I decided to set my machine and corrupted the windows xp registry.

    Now, windows xp runs in the loop, I can't access and I need to wipe the hard drive and start again essentially. I put the recovery disk in, but the computer doesn't read him and desperately wants his wacky way to windows. I believe that it is not recognizing the teac drive that I used to replace the old. I think that if I put an original return type, the firmware can recognize the drive and I'll be back in business... or so I hope!

    of course, all the other tips would be welcome too! Thank you.

    work around? PS a work around, I thought so... copy the contents of the diskette of recovery on a hard drive (using my old computer) can change the current hard drive in my a60 with it... theory; When the computer detects the content during the start-up, it will install xp on another part of this drive and I have a working machine once again. could - this something like this work? any thoughts?

  • Best practices for storage and backups on internal and external drives

    Hello

    I have a Mac laptop and I would like your advice on how to organize the storage of files on internal and external drives and how optimizes it the backup plan.

    From now on, my organization of file storage is:

    I keep my most important files on the internal disk of SSD encrypted and less critical files on an encrypted external drive (format ExFAT). This external hard drive was errors, so I bought a new Laetitia 2 Tb drive that I formatted in Mac OS journaled with encryption instead of ExFAT, to replace.

    For backups, I do not use Time Machine, but I use an application that synchronizes files between two disks. By using this application, I first sync the essential document on the SSD files internal to the external drive, and then I synchronize all the external drive to another external drive.

    My question is, if I keep this Organization of file storage or I should, for example just move all my files, critical and non-critical for the internal SSD (I could make enough room for that) and then backup up the whole Mac with Time Machine? Or there is a better way to organize files in this scenario?

    The second question is, if it is better to keep the Organization as it split storage (internal, less critical on external criticism) is what would be the best way to back up everything?

    Thanks in advance for all contributions.

    First of all, to the ExFAT is the problem, I suggest that the reader will just physically hurt.  ExFAT is perfectly acceptable as a format where Mac and PC can read/write.  You may have reacted a little leaving ExFAT for HFS, but you have made your choice and adapts to it.

    Here is how I operate my backups:

    I use CCC (CarbonCopyClone, $40, bombich.com).  It copies the boot sectors, drive, mapping, recovery Partition (these three are 'invisible' to DiskUtility for most) as well as system partitions and data records 'other'.  These other disks may be internal for clone-to-test-new-OSX in multi-disc systems or external for backup purposes.  The beauty is that you can start an external clone in a system crash, then CCC will be re - copy the active external clone on a new/fixed internal drive.

    Encryption isn't something I know, but... If only the content of the system partition and data is encrypted, it * could * be OK for clone-back to partition-as-encrypted partitions.  If you clone internal external the external partition is active and copy the 'encrypted plan', while small adjustments are made so that the race could be bad.  Copy of the files on my partitions unencrypted change interrupt because they are individual files.

    As an alternative, you could have a system drive that does CCC charge, let the clone encrypted and encrypted internal idle and just copy the entire map with the 'third system' active.
