DVD - RW (E drive)

I have Windows XP Professional.  Cannot copy data on the maxwell DVD - RW disc.  But I can copy CD - RW, can also watch video DVDs on the E drive. Drive F does not recognize a DVD - RW, keeps asking to insert the DVD.

Thanks for your reply.

I have never used DVD - RW before, always used CD - RW.  Bought maxwell DVD - RW as no CD - RW availabe during my purchase.

I have the Media Player software.

Enter Device Manager are as follows:

Drive E: _NEC DVD - RW ND-3540's

Drive F: HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR81638

Your E drive reads and writes CDs and DVDs, including the DVD - RW.

Your F drive only reads CDs and DVDs.

Windows XP does not support burning DVDs.  You will need 3rd party software to do.

Usually, capable of burning DVD drives come with software that allows burning DVDs... look around in the start menu > all programs and see if you have something like that.  In the contrary case, a Google search will be many alternatives, free and commercial.

  • Sat Pro L10 DVD Super Multi Drive

    I have a new Satellite Pro L10 with DVD Super Multi player running XP Pro. I was not able to write on the DVD player - either it does not recognize the DVD in the drive or it blue screens and crashes when I use the Windows backup installation until I read the error message. Now I get very nervous, I could not support the 6 weeks I got it...
    I can play the pre-recorded (of movies) DVD in the drive and it can read CDs and some brands of DVD. The manual is singularly useless on the use/troubleshooting of the Super Multi drive

    I don't think you can use the Windows backup to record directly to CD or DVD. The following is an excerpt from the Microsoft web site: -.

    Hello

    In most cases the entrance of e/s, error message is related to a hardware malfunction (CD/DVD drive).
    The readers of the lens laser can not calibrate properly and therefore it can not read the CD inserted.
    These errors are not uncommon and occur mostly after a long period of use due to a material stressed.

    But let's check the last possibility of solution;
    Go to Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
    Then start the registry (regedit) and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then, restart the computer and check if it of possible to read CDs.

  • 1800 514 does not start with the new dvd/CD-RW drive

    My old dvd - rom on my toshiba s1800-514 drive was broken, so I had to replace it. I used an old teac as a temporary replacement cd-rom drive. but now, I bought a new dvd/CD-RW-drive combo (toshiba sd-r2612). but the laptop does not seem to post, I get the "toshiba" screen (when it says press f12 to select boot device). but it stops there and does nothing. I can open the player, it seems to be connected ok.

    Why won't it work? (only the bios setting which applies is one that I can't change...). the drive is nine ar so small chance it's already broken.

    What should do?

    Hello

    A few weeks ago one of my friends also had a problem with his replacement new drive. He wanted to move the DVD/CD player to a DVD burner.

    The only thing he had to do was change the master/slave settings!

    Hello golden2,.

    I understand that you have a DVD picture in your SuperDrive drive, but it is not mount on the desktop and will not eject.

    Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

    Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

    Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

    1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
    2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
    3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
    4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
    6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

    Take care.

  • DVD/CD-RW drive does not-Tecra A4

    Hi, I have a problem with my Tecra A4.
    My DVD CD - RW drive does not work properly (power is there, but it does not appear on the system), I have temporary installed a drive of DVD - RW from my HP laptop which works very well.
    I tried to run my restore disk (never used), but nothing happens (press and hold C to start). This will only work with the good drive installed or I do something wrong?

    p.s. I bought this second hand, but it's new. He had a damaged screen I have replaced

    Julian

    If the old drive will not read media if it s damage.
    You know that not every disc is compatible with the device because of the csel/slave/master settings.

    You said that the button C doesn't allow you to boot from the disc.
    In this case, I would recommend to get into the BIOS, and there you can change the boot order.
    However, this trick is everything works only if the new drive is compatible and supported

  • Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD-RW drive does not work

    Hello: the dvd/CD-RW drive does not work. apparently it has been disabled somehow! Any ideas on how I can turn it back on?

    Have you tried the Device Manager and it says it works normally!

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks :)

    > apparently it has been disabled somehow
    I put t think that the disc has been disabled!

    How someone or something should turn off the drive? You have disabled the drive? I don't think so!

    You said that the drive appears in Device Manager. So I guess that the drive is enabled and is recognized by the OS.
    You are getting error messages or what's wrong?

    Perhaps the reader can read or burn CDs or DVDs.
    This happens if the lens of the drive cannot calibrate properly and can not handle the inserted media.

    Maybe the replacement drive is required!

  • Can I install a Philips DVD R/RW drive (DVD8801/96; 9305 046 68096) on my HP Pavilion p6720f desktop computer

    I have windows 7, AMD Phenom he's 840t Quad Core with a dvd burner as the top super multi drive on my HP Pavilion p6720f desktop computer. Can I install a Philips DVD R/RW drive (DVD8801/96; 68096 046 9305) as my second drive burner?

    jherbie77,

    Are you sure of that model #?  I found it listed hereandhere as a PATA/IDE hard drive. Not a good choice!

    That being said, here are my suggestions.

    You need an internal Sata DVD + RW (there be DL mode) and the necessary cabling. Power supply not having a spare power cord Sata, but it wil have the molex 4 pin. You also need a Sata data cable.

    Player $18.99

    cable selection:

    just a data cable, you have found a power cord Sata 15 pin $2.99

    just a power and data in the drop-down list $3.99

  • DVD Super Multi Drive problem - cannot access any CD - Satellite A100

    Hi, 1st post:

    My Satellite A100 features a DVD Super Multi drive, which worked very well. However I cannot now access any CD - error message ' D: / is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error."is displayed.

    However I can still access DVDs without problem. Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    can try this
    Right click on the drive w / the problem
    Properties
    Recording tab
    and then check the box "enable recording on this CD player.

    If this does not solve it you have Roxio Easy CD Creator is installed to check this
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; 315350

    or if you get an I/O device error message, this problem may occur when Windows tries to use a transfer mode that can not use your CD player
    RESOLUTION
    To resolve this problem, change the transfer mode for your CD drive in IDE channel properties. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click on manage.
    2. under the (Local) computer management, click Device Manager.
    3. in the right pane, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
    4 right-click the channel where your CD drive is connected, and then click Properties. In general, this channel is secondary IDE channel.
    5. in the Advanced Settings tab, in the zone transfer Mode for the device that represents your CD-ROM drive, click PIO only. As a general rule, this device is device 1. And then click OK.
    If the problem is not resolved after you change the transfer mode for the secondary IDE 1 channel device, your CD drive should not be located there. Use the same procedure to return to the DMA transfer mode if available. Then, repeat these steps to change the transfer mode for IDE devices in the following order until the problem is resolved:
    Primary IDE channel, device 1
    Secondary IDE channel, device 0
    Channel IDE primary note, device 1 is connected to your boot disk. It's the hard drive that contains your operating system.

    hope that fix you :)

  • M40: DVD/CD-RW drive has stopped working.

    Good day all. I have a Toshiba Satellite M40.

    For a long time, my DVD/CD-RW player just stopped working. She stopped reading any kind of optical discs - no data, no DVD or CD of music.

    The first step I took was to re - install the Windows XP operating system. It worked, but the problem comes back shortly after. The second time, I had to install the drive manually, and that worked for a while.

    The problem came back a third time, but this time, the disc of additional software supplied with the notebook, which includes the driver for the drive, does not. I get an error reading 'CD-ROM drive not found '. I tried to reinstall the operating system, but the drive does not read the product recovery CD. Windows starts just straight up normally.

    So, my faithful laptop for some reason any does not recognize the existence of the DVD/CD-RW drive, and I am at a loss for what to do. Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance,

    Desperate Nigeria :(

  • DVD/CD rom drive reads CDs but does not read the DVD.

    My Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop has a DVD/CD rom drive.  It loads all the CD I want and them automatically opens on the D drive.  When I put in a DVD movie it will not play.  I open my computer, and then look at the D drive, and it does not even recognize that there is a DVD inside but it shows a screen of a CD that I put in there.  This tells me that it works and it has a green light on the side which shows.  Also, when I insert the DVD it makes sounds as it tries to recognize, but then it stops and does not appear.  Can anyone help?  I really appreciate it.  I'm not very savvy computer.  I know that some in this topic because I am a teacher and try to catch up with things, but I'm certainly no computer technology.  Thank you very much!  Let me know if I need to give more info.  I think the reader is Sony CRX835EK but I'm not 100% sure on this one here.

    If your Player reads cd but not dvd which indicates that the material works very well. You need to change the registry inorder to solve this problem.

    1) click on the start menu
    2) click on 'run '.
    (3) type "regedit" and click ok
    4) go to the key of the string "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
    (5) delete "upper filters" and "lower in the right window.
    (6) right click on my computer in the start menu.

    8) go to the Hardware tab
    9) click on Device Manager
    (10) expand the dvd/cdrom drives
    (11) made a right click the dvd rom and click on uninstall
