Dysfunction of the LightScribe drive

The Light Scribe DVD Super Multi drive on my HP Pavilion doesn't read any disk. It opens and closes, and when I tried to use it, it tells me that there is no disc in the drive.

Hi Jorge,.

·          Was the CD/DVD writer works much earlier?

·          What is the exact error you get when you try to use the CD/DVD burner?

Method 1

If you have any third party present on your computer CD/DVD burning software uninstall them temporarily and check.

Method 2

Your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media

  • Portege 2010 - clicks of death? -Perhaps the HARD drive is dead

    Hello

    A few minutes ago, I tried to start my portege 2010, who worked a few hours ago. Now, I do not even past the BIOS screen because the disc is of strange noises, as leaders try to enter the post, but fail. I have to admit that yesterday the system froze for no obvious reason but I didn't know that this was due to a failure to come, I just rebooted the machine and it behaved like any other day. So I'm rather perplexed, how the disaster could hit so suddenly. The portege is out of the warranty period, so I guess there is no way get around to buy a new drive. I wonder if this problem is a common problem among the Portégé series, I think I remember an article published online by indicating this.

    Hello Steffen

    If Toshiba STAS 10 000 or more laptop computers Portege 2010 and you find one or 10 other users with the same symptoms of HARD drive, it cannot be any kind of common problem. Common problem is something else.

    According to your description, is it really possible the HARD drive shows signs of dysfunction. All you can do is to watch carefully what happens in the next few days and if the HDD feature fails, you must buy a new HARD drive. All that s!

    If you will be able to start it in some way I recommend you back up all your data (e.g. on USB key) before the HARD disk fails completely.

  • "DVD SuperMulti LightScribe drive / burner" not recognized as LightScribe drive

    I've had my desktop PC HP Pavilion Media Center TV m8100y CTO for several years now, but I've never tried using the LightScribe feature to date. I downloaded the drivers and software from [link removed - site is no longer available] newer, but none of that recognizes the "LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive/writer" (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB) as a LightScribe drive. What should I do to diagnose and fix the problem, so I can use the LightScribe feature?

    After looking in the system recovery, I don't think I'm going to run until my PC has more serious problems than the issue of LightScribe. The recovery process of the system to the factory settings and then reinstall everything new is a bit more than I want to go at this point. Thanks anyway for the help, old_geekster. I'm OK with the mystery of LightScribe remaining unsolved for a little longer. When I get to perform a system recovery, I will update this thread with the results regarding LightScribe.

  • LightScribe drive

    I've been burning CDs on my drive, and then burn lightscribe labels.  Suddenly today, burner lightscribe program refused to recognize that I have a lightscribe device in my computer.  I can still burn CD, DVD, etc..  How to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Don't forget to use optical discs Lightscribe.  LS media must be Lightscribe surface face before combustion works.

    Because Imgburn recognizes the optical drive lightscribe capable your app burning lightscribe must be reinstalled. Try to reinstall the underlying lightscribe systemfirst, before reinstalling your burning software.  The HP update is here.

    The Lightscribe website is no longer active.

    Since you have Imgburn installed, you can use it to search an update of the firmware for your optical drive.

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • Starts the Powerbook g3 pismo of the external drive?

    Hello, all,.


    I want to start my Powerbook G3 (Pismo) running OS 9.2.2 since the restore in one disc external hard drive. (PB knows he has a drive hard internal , but the drive does not read discs in there.) The computer goes up the disc - its own restore disk - when it comes starts with Macintosh HD as a player start, but when I try to use the restore disc as commissioning, starts to drive to go up, but the door opens. Even if I hold the door closed, the computer starts low to halfway and glued in place: first, the question mark flashing, then commissioning with Macintosh HD but then freeze it.

    This happens even if I chose as the startup disk restore disk in the startup configuration panel. This means that I can't even begin to use disk utility to clean the hard drive of the computer. I did that with two other computers (reset several times), but those who had internal functioning disks. Is it possible that I can do this computer using the external drive as the boot? I read that the G3 Pismo that allows. I know I can get someone to take out the hard disk and smash, but I expect much prefer to destroy it myself. And I can understand how to remove the hard drive, but it seems to imply a boatload of maneuvers and some tools that I have, at the present time. I would not completely destroy the computer. It would be good for recyclers to be able to retrieve some parts, though they might be useful to someone.

    It is possible that I can't boot from the restore disc in the external drive, but maybe there's something that I have not yet tried. It seems crazy that the external hard drive with the restore disc appears on the desktop with a normal restart, and I can choose as boot drive but can't seem to complete commissioning. If anyone has any ideas on this subject, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you.

    Jenny

    Are you trying to boot the PowerBook to an external optical drive that is connected to a USB port or your external drive connectivity FireWire?  If it is USB, that is the problem.  The reading of an optical drive connected by USB is one thing, but start since it is a different matter.  Unfortunately, your Pismo is not capable of this.

  • Connecting apple tv to the output of the HARD drive?

    Can someone help me with the apple tv connection to my TV? My TV has only hdmi output which I already use for a satellite dish. The only other available exit is the HARD drive, but I only have a hdmi cable to hdmi. Is there such a thing as hard drive hdmi cable to? any help would be appreciated.

    I guess it's a usb port on your tv labled as a hard drive. If that's true, you can get a cable hdmi to usb - if there is such an animal.

    Good day.

  • Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

    I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

    I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

    You do all this in the Finder?

    Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

    If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

    Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

    Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

    P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

    Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

    Re: SSDS  (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)

    FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

  • What is the speed of the hard drive of the 2015 2 and 3 to merge disks partition?

    I was looking through the Apple site and was wondering about the speed of the drive in the iMac in car merger. On their site it says that the 1 TB Fusion drive has 24 GB of Flash memory, and 2 models to and 3 to have 128 GB of Flash storage. But it does not say what the speed of the hard drive partition, which is what I want to know. It is 5400 RPM, or even 10000 rpm or 7200 RPM? I don't know, but I want to know. If anyone here knows the answer to this question, I would appreciate a response. Thank you.

    I have seen it reported that the Fusion drives are all 7 200 RPM.

  • Update the graphic driver for Bootcamp 6.0 questions

    After you perform a new installation of Windows 10 1607, I proceeded to install Bootcamp AppleBcUpdate.exe drivers on my MacbookPro 11.5 i7 Dual Graphics.

    Everything worked fine after that restart once the installation has been done. Now I checked the Apple software update, and he gave me a few updates. Specifically the bottom three in the picture below.

    It restarted after that and then 'Apple Software Update' update itself twice before offering a new version of the graphics driver.

    This update has screwed up the system. Auto brightness doesn't work anymore. The brightness keys don't do anything. I reinstalled bootcamp on a fresh drive to isolate this problem.

    Does anyone have a solution to this? Any suggestions? If everyone Apple never bother reading this, then please test your drivers before you send them.

    Delete Windows, re - install, create a Windows system restore point, disable all updates Intel GPU and then apply the updates and test.

  • Why the Mac drives are not partitioned?

    I've owned Macs since the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 10s ' and not is that I now realize, is not partitioned hard drive inside a Mac (currently on an old Macbook Pro).

    I can't find an answer to this question anywhere, probably because each search result estimated that I wonder about external drives.

    My MBP 2007 hard drive is about to fail (so says utility disk), and I am saved, cloned and prepared for this possibility better I can be. I want to buy a new drive hard internal and wonder if I should partition when I get it.

    I always share my external drives.

    Because most people don't partition their drive, and those who can execute the procedure themselves. It is actually necessary if you want to use several operating systems on the same drive; Whether or not you should in other cases depends on what you use your computer for.
