• HP Envy m6 Sleekbook-external optical drives and Windows 8 compatible printers

  I just bought the HP Envy Touchsmart K025-DX from Best Buy m6.  I admit that I did a lot of research and I forgot to check if there was a built-in optical drive.  However, I like this laptop because it fit my budget.  I just want to know if I can use any compatible DVD/CD ROM external external external drive CD/DVD/drive or if it is better to go with the HP brand.

  I thought to return the laptop to the store and try to buy a new one who already has an internal hard drive built in... but think if I add an external hard drive... he wanted me to return this product.

  Also I realized that I probably need to upgrade my HP printer as well as my current HP Officejet j4500 printer software is not compatible with WIndows 8.  Advice and suggestions are appreciated...

  Hello

  You can use any external USB optical drive on this laptop and the printer, you can download the drivers for Windows 8 if it is available in the hp.com. Simply search for drivers by putting the search box in top right where it says search Hp.com.

• can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

  I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

  (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

  2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

  My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

  Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  •4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

  Hello

  Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

  1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
  2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
  3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
  4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
  5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
  6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
  7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

  The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.

• Can I replace the optical drive of the ENVY 15 t-k000 with a hard drive?

  Hello!!

  I just got the HP ENVY 15 t-k000 http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/G0T95AV?HP-ENVY-15t

  Can I replace the optical drive with an SSD (for example, Seagate 600 240 G)? Thank you!

  I saw there are several videos helping to remove the top cover and replace the optical drive. But it does not expressly say that the optical drive can be replaced by a hard drive.

  Thank you very much!

  Best,

  Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

  I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

• HP Envy Phoenix 850: HP Envy Phoenix 850 - optical drive add/upgrade

  Hello

  I'm looking for one of the new HP Envy Phoenix 850 models and ask yourself it is possible to:

  (1) add an additional optical drive? I have a spare Pioneer BDR-209EBK, (W148mm x H 42.3 mm x D180mm)

  (2) or replace the DVD SuperMulti HP standard burner (probably this one, which is THIN; H 12.7 mm x D126.1mm x W128mm)

  The marketing material says "busy; external drive bays One available,"but looking at the photos in the 'upgrade and Guide service' I can't identify where the additional drive would be, and how it would be accessible.

  from the front panel.

  The new models look slick, but if I'm not able to add/replace the optical drive, it may be a no-go - and I have to stick to the last years´ 810-models - or a competitor.

  Thanks in advance.

  Any 12.7 mm mini-SATA Blu - Ray writer will work.

  Just drag on the engraver of DVD and sock it to its place. You may have to port on the front, but this isn't a huge deal.

• Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook - boot from Usb Flash or optical drive

  I just this envy Touchsmart Ultrabook (14 inches) with 8 win and it works very well, but one thing that I can't make it work is to be able to boot from a USB stick or a cd usb player.  This system doesn't have a built-in optical drive.

• Need help finding a compatible optical drive for lenovo b50-80

  I ordered recently the b50-80 of lenovo laptop for my mother and I thought wrongly that it came with an optical drive. I tried searching online to see who can be compatible with it. But, I don't have a lot of experience actually shopping for one. The seller has recommended a couple, but I was also wondering if one of my old laptop drives would fit maybe? Focusing on internal versus external. All advice is appreciated!

  Hello.

  Welcome to the forums.

  If you want an external optical drive (CD/DVD/Bluray player) I'm pretty sure that any USB key will be compatible with your computer and Windows 7.

  I also checked onthe support for this model siteand searched the Manual of Maintenance to find an internal version of the DVD. I'm not complete of course know if, but if you check page 71 the #12 part seems to be the internal CD/DVD. It seems that FRU 25215832 is compatible with the B50-80. You should ask the price of this part (FRU) number and please confirm that this is the guy you want.

  And read the Maintenance Manual page #34 if you plan to install it yourself. Otherwise, you can always hire your local Service Center of Lenovo to get the part and install it for you.

• Vista 64 Bit Home Premium does not start when a disc is in the optical drive

  I tried to understand this for a long time, but I thought I might as well ask for help.  I use Vista 64 - bit Home Edition Premium and the problem I have is that I cannot restart my machine if a disc is in the optical drive. Specifically, if I have a DVD or Bluray disc in the optical drive (IE a BD - ROM drive). When I restart my computer and a disk is present, the startup process is going past the initial windows screen, but that's how far it goes. My desktop (I don't have a password to connect). Initially, I thought it was a matter of priority to boot but the boot process starts from the hard drive but stops at half way through. Then, I went into the BIOS and removed the optical drive completely from the boot priority list.  But there is no change in behavior. The process stops with the only thing visible on the splash screen is a black screen and the hard drive light flashes and goes out from time to time.  I use this computer as my Home Theater PC and sometimes I have to restart my machine when a movie DVD or a Bluray movie is in the optical drive. I would appreciate any response that can help me solve this problem...

  Thanks in advance...

  There may be something wrong with the files on your hard disk.  We will try to update to see if it helps:

  Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

  To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (I believe you need a disc for Installation of Vista to do that, even if some Installtion OEM disc might work, but probably not all the recovery discs).

  1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  2. press a key when you are prompted.

  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  4. click on repair your computer.

  5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

  6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

  7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

  ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  ·        c:

  ·        Boot CD

  ·        BCD attrib s h - r

  ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  If this does not work, or if you do not have the disk, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that works and does everything well.  Make sure what you are doing or you could mess up your boot files and you'd be in a lot of trouble.

  I don't know if the problem is even caused by startup files (but it is possible if it is not the BIOS), but you'd better check and if the procedures are followed to the letter as stated there is no harm in trying.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

  If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

• I can't put a disc into my optical drive.

  Hello

  I have a Macbook 2010 Pro and over the past 6 years, I have rarely used the optical drive. Recently, I tried to put in a disk but it wouldn't even go.  I have no idea why this would be.

  Any help or advice appreciated!

  Concerning

  You have a hardware problem.  Are you sure that there is nothing inside the DVD player?  If you are energetic, open the MBP, remove the disc and open it.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  It is possible that the player has not.

  Ciao.

• You can install Windows on a Mac without an optical drive

  Hey, I have a Mac end 2011 a friend gave to me and he said it was broken. I realized that it was just the SATA port on the motherboard, so I pulled out the optical drive and I put an SSD in it. Now I want to install Windows but Mac says that I am not allowed to because I don't have an optical drive. I tried Abu tools and many other shippers of EFI boot, but none of them does not seem to work! Please help me fast! I am computer LITERATE, so no response even if it is complicated would be very useful. THX

  Have you tried the Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp?

  You can run Windows in a virtual machine, which saves having to restart to Boot Camp. This allows you to access boot Windows and Mac OS.

• El Capitan grateful suddenly don't no optical drive

  I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, purchased 3/2016. I bought the optical drive when I bought the computer. I used the external drive to burn DVDs and CDs. Everything worked fine until I plugged the optical drive yesterday. I opened iTunes, plugged the disc inserted a cd and the window showing that I inserted the cd never popped up. The finder does not display the drive, even though I checked in preferences to show him. The only way I could safely remove the cd was going to disk utility where I could see the disc and the cd and eject it.

  I checked to make sure that the drive still works by inserting a DVD or CD in the optical drive. The two will play correctly, but I still have to go back into the disk utility to eject because the drive does not appear anywhere else.

  With iTunes running and the drive plugged with a blank CD inserted, the "playlist to burn to the disc" is grayed out, because the computer is not recognizing the drive.

  What can I do to get the computer/El Capitan to recognize the drive again?

  Reporting system shows the optical drive? Try the commands from the Terminal after the connection of an optical drive...
