  • copy photos from a dvd on hard drive Mac

    I got my photos scanned on DVD and I now want to copy on my hard drive.  How can I do this?  Thank you!

    You will need an optical drive. Your computer has not one. Who scanned photos on the DVD should be able to transfer the pictures to a USB flash drive.

    Insert the DVD into the optical drive. When it appears on the desktop as a drive icon, click twice on the icon to open a window in the Finder on the image files. Select all and drag the selection to a suitable location on your computer.

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

  • Can I transfer dvd to hard drive tv programs or a memory stick? My os is Vista professional. DVD seems to be for the most part, the VR formatted on modern dvd recorders.

    I want to archive TV shows that were recorded on DVD that is formatted in VR mode rather than in video mode. My operating system is Vista business and therefore does not include the Media Center. I can play DVDs on the computer, but cannot transfer files from their hard drive. Windows Explorer does not work unless the DVD are formatted in video mode.

  • Bay DVD replace HARD drive not recognized by Windows

    I have a 7737 with the 256 GB SSD, but I wanted more storage internally and was not too annoyed to have DVD - so I bought a caddy and replaced the optical drive with a WD Scorpio Black 750 GB drive.

    When I went into administration - computer management - disk management tools, he acknowledged that the drive was there because he told me that he needed reprogramming - so I went ahead and let him. The disc quickly disappeared from the list, and I can't do anything that he can come back.

    I tried to refresh, rescan the drives, restart (how can I confirm the BIOS recognizes the drive correctly, as the "SATA ODD', but Windows still refuses to acknowledge that he is here.) Device Manager displays only the SSD and scanning for hardware changes have no effect.

    Maybe it's a coincidence, but now my laptop seems a touch slow, especially in the graphics... and I noticed that in the Task Manager, System interrupts now takes 10 percent of time CPU on average. I can't say that I've never noticed that before. My old Samsung laptop (which has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated card, to be honest) claims system interrupts doesn't take any time at all CPU. This seems to suggest a conflict any exist, and maybe that's why the drive is not recognized?

    Because Device Manager is not see it, I can't check for updated drivers.

    Because disk management can't see, I can't format / partition / assign a drive letter.

    The BIOS does not let me do anything with the drive, go into properties or disable / re-enable, or something like that.

    Can anyone suggest what I might have missed in the configuration, or what I can do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, I can't find a downloadable diagnosis for your laptop. Try Seatools. Seagate website has a download, that you can use to create a CD bootable or flash player to test hard drives.

    I just want to see if a tool outside Windows can detect the drive and all the problems.

    Hey derizz,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    If you cannot copy files normally, try to copy guest rather using Xcopy command.

    1. click on start, principally made programs, click Accessories and then right-click on command prompt, click Run as administrator.
    2. type the following command line and press ENTER. In the command line, drive is the letter of the CD drive or DVD drive.

    xcopy drive:-*. * /s > c:\test1

    See if that helps to successfully copied the files on your hard drive.

  • Re: Satellite C850 unbootable - broken HARD drive

    Hello people,

    I bought a * Toshiba Satellite C850 - 1F2 * with * + Windows 8 + *.
    After installation, the upgrade to * + Windows 8.1 + * and setting up everything, the whole machine worked well enough.

    BUT since yesterday, the laptop no longer starts!
    When I turn it on, the HARD drive is click and click and the system tries to boot from DVD, USB, HARD drive, IPv4, IPV6, and then he said, that there is no boot device.

    Unfortunately, I tried to do the + restore Windows 8 - backup - DVD + this weekend!
    Huh!

    Well, I have one more * + Windows-7-DVD original and license + *, which would be good as well (I used it in recent years).
    * YET *, I can't install * + Windows 7 + *.
    He says something like that, that this system is not available for Secure Boot +.

    I read about 'Secure Boot'.
    So I pressed F2, turned on the laptop and managed with this BIOS.
    It's a * + InsydeH20 Rev 3.7 + *.
    * BUT *, when I go to "Boot Mode" I don't see myself, this option is grayed out and I cannot change the UEFI Boot + to ++ CSM Boot +.

    Even changing the HARD drive made no difference.
    I put in my old HDD with Windows 7 installed (which works in the other laptop), but the system does not start, because it is + not suitable for Secure Boot +.

    * Then, of WHAT NOW? *
    I mean, we can't really politics of Toshiba, you need to take your laptop, if the HARD drive breaks, it can?
    Because I create the rescue-DVD, I just my DVD of Windows 7 and an another HARD drive and installed Windows 7.

    I have to buy another license of Windows 8 and an another disk to reinstall Windows 8 (suitable for Secure Boot)?
    Would it even work like that?
    Or is it possible to upgrade the BIOS for it, I can then change boot UEFI to CSM Boot?
    Or is there another chance, to use my other HDD with Windows 7, or at least a new HARD clean disk, on which I can then install my Windows 7 operating system?

    I hope someone can give me good advice, what to do now... without throwing the Toshiba laptop ;)

    Thanks in advance!

    > I hope that someone can give me good advice, what to do now... without throwing the Toshiba laptop
    Let's start with this sentence. You must not throw your laptop. There's always a last stage that can be done and in your case, you can contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
    This model of laptop is fairly new, so I can imagine that the warranty is still valid, so I think you should contact the service and ask if you can get a new HARD drive for free. I mean why not if the warranty is still valid.

  • Question about hard drive Partitions

    My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

    How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
    This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

    I would like some advice before as I did try.

    >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
    That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

    This recovery is important for two things:
    -for the creation of recovery DVDs
    -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

    Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

    You have to understand how it works?
    If you have any other questions please let me know.

  • Qosmio G10-100 - failed afer replacement with larger HARD drive HARD drive

    Following a failure in a Qosmio G10-100 HARD drive, I replaced the HD 80 GB IDE current with a 160 GB IDE drive. After execution of the recovery of the DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    However, on booting, the machine has recognized that it was another hard drive and it wouldn't let me go beyond the screen that offers alternatives (Safe Mode, etc.), nor what would allow me access.

    Counsel gratefully received

    > After running the recovery DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    Sorry mate but I put t understand what you did exactly
    You have installed the Windows operating system on the new HARD drive by using the recovery disk. Right?
    Well, the recovery procedure has completed correctly? The operating system has been successfully installed?

    Did repeat the installation of the OS?
    If this is not the case, repeat!

  • P6230Y impossible to use ACHI on new hard drive

    I checked the features of motherboard and it should be able to do SATA to 3.0Gbs. I checked the new hard drive and it should be compatible with 3.0Gbs. However, the only way I can run Windows 7 is if I put the drive in the Bios to use IDE. Any attempt to use ACHI crashes when you try to launch Windows 7. The only factor, it recognizes the hard drive's controller Standard dual channel PCI IDE on DVD and hard drive. When I try to change the driver for the AMD ACHI controller it locks the computer and I am unable to get to any place where I can change the driver again, so I have to do a restore 3 + hour of backup. All the Solutions to get this working.

    I had to reboot since the partition recovery and restoration of the machine as long as the plant. Once I've restored then should start after you set the computer to AHCI. This time he did start Windows Windows picked up the driver AHCI Standard.

    Next steps. I noticed the driver that Windows 8.1 loaded and then reloaded my computer from my backup. Yet once, it starts as IDE only. I uninstalled the IDE drivers, the last of them was noted first and then changed one for the AHCI Standard driver. I rebooted and changed the drive in AHCI in the BIOS. The computer started properly using AHCI. Then, I went and did a update driver because the Microsoft driver performed since 2006. Microsoft has then found the AHCI AMD driver who was from 2013 and everything has worked fine since then.
