Hello amurphy98,

I have an Asus DVD of ebay player. It has worked well for me. I have a powered USB hub, that's what I used. You can get without the powered hub but, it is recommended to use a. Especially do something so important. Error a little power and you might brick it. Acer also has a 8.1 recovery disk win via support Dept.

  • External DVD drive no longer recognized

    I have been using an external DVD drive for HP for years. About 2 months ago I finally exchanged my tragically old iMac for a recent model directly on the Apple Store and have been using the DVD player with it successfully. I do not use the everyday player, but I use it regularly.

    Last night, I put a DVD in the drive, and it worked fine. Later, I got another in the drive and nothing. The drive spins up and down constantly, but the Finder does not recognize anything. Any DVD doesn't appear in the sidebar or on the desktop, the DVD player application does not start. There is simply nothing.

    When it happened first, I removed the disc that would not play and put in the previous drive who previously worked. It worked again, so I leave the app, ejected Disc #1 and put the #2 drive in. #2 drive still does not work and has no other disk since. Not #1, not disk #2 disk, no disc worked. I tried to put in an old OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD just to see if the iMac would recognize it, but it's not.

    I tried to disconnect & reconnect the drive by connecting the drive directly to the iMac instead of in the USB hub, restarted the iMac with a DVD in the drive, etc., but nothing works. System Profiler recognizes not that the player is even when it has a disk in it and turning. Disk utility does not recognize anything.

    I did not perform any software updates or any setting between replace disc #1 Disc #2. Something that worked a minute literally stopped working and I have no idea why.

    While it is true that the DVD player can have mechanical problems, I don't think so and I have no way to test this because I don't have another computer I can plug the drive in. And really, it sounds like a software problem. The drive does not sound hard, or anything like that. I think that the drive reads discs, but the iMac just does not see any longer, so the reader just guard spinning up and down, waiting to be recognized.

    Apologies if other threads have taken into account this. I searched, but I have not found any matches.

    Please make a LANDAU and SMC reset by iMac SMC and PRAM reset and then test again.

  • Boot camp with external dvd drive

    How it is possible to install Windows 7 on my old MacBook Pro Mid 2009 using an external DVD drive?

    Because my SuperDrive drive is broken.

    Yes, there is a way, I remember that when I swapped my Superdrive for a disk hard while my old Macbook could not start Windows USB.

    you need vmware Fusion and refined installed

    It's a little tricky because not apple USB drives do not work when booting the operating system, but it works if you read carefully. basically the process starts as usual, put the DVD in the DVD USB drive and start to Boot Camp, let to create the BootCamp partition, instead of restarting create a VM with the mapping of physical disk, begin the installation, restart Windows and finish using DVD USB.

    Here is the guide, a bit outdated but might help. Be sure just to what disk you format in the virtual machine, because you are working with the physical disk where you have installed OS X:

  • Satellite A660 - do not find external DVD drive

    Hey guys. Newbie displaying in total despair of and needing help! I posted in other forums without success. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.

    I can't get Windows 7 to find! When I plug in the USB cable, the ball comes up to say that it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then he falls. It is not listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in disk management or my devices, so it is not a case to change the drive letter - I can't find the drive to change. I also tried to find upper and lower settings in regedit. Could not find them so couldn't remove them as suggested in other posts of this nature.

    It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are very good. Its got to be a cause of problem of Windows 7 it comes very briefly. In the minute or 2 sound, I can't do anything with it. It crashes right although it will open and close. I've google it and can't find anything. Mainly of registry issues, but they did not help.

    Ive also connected to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works very well and all the cables are ok. Ive tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also disabled all the parameters of energy. All with no luck. And I also all Windows 7 update.

    This is exactly what happens to the power out of the Cabinet.

    1. I connect the USB cord then turn on the enclosure.
    2 - I quickly click Start, and I can see the DVD Rom E player beside my computer laptop dvd rom.
    3 - the green bar above starts to fill to the top, from left to right and gets to half way then suddenly disappears icon of DVD Rom and makes the green bar.
    4. He then flashes up in computers laptops DVD Rom icon with a player of Local E drive, but only for a fraction of a second.
    5. sometimes a balloon comes up saying peripheral installation, then the installed device successfully... but not every time.

    And that's all. I'm at a total loss and the cant work, so any help is really appreciated!

    Hi Smee,

    So if you have already connected the external hard drive on another computer, and it worked correctly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility between your external DVD drive problem and and your Satellite A660

    It will be connected to the port USB then you tried to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager? After that, you must restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized automatically from the Device Manager. In addition, I would also try updating the chipset driver. New version, which you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

    Hello

    > * 1 *-I want to use in the car for playing DVDs in the back seat. Can I use the Toshiba external dvd drive?

    No, you can't attach an external CD/DVD drive to the AC100.
    The USB port supports the external USB HDD (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) and a memory flash USB (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) for copying data.

    > * 2-* is there a car charging/adapter plug or anything like that?
    Yes, google for cigarette lighter Thrive AT100. Otherwise, you can order part comatibel of ASP in your country.

    > * 3 *-my stereo bluetooth, USB and ipod has access to-what options there are to store & playing music on the Tablet via these

    Take a look in the Android market and search of HiFi Android app.
    But as far as I know if you want to stream music from tablet to sorrows, both must be connected to the same network.

    > * 4 *-wifi is possible? I already connected it to a wireless modem; would need a modem separated in the car?
    AT100 supports LAN wireless

    Hello

    You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
    Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
    Press F12.

    Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

    In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

    Iomega superslim DVD 31785700 dvdrw8x-u
    ASUS U36J laptop Windows 7 64 bit
    latest updates for Windows and installed Dynadock

    Hi, this external DVD drive has 2 USB connectors (data and power) and no power supply.
    The dynadock has alternating current.
    When I connect the DVD directly to 2 USB ports on the laptop, it works.
    When I connect an external hard drive to the Dynadock USB powered it works
    When I connect the Iomega DVD drive to the dynadock, it doesn't work and I get an error message "power surge on hub port."

    I tested a second dynadock and DVD player (same model) and the same problem occurs.
    I also tested all of the USB ports on the dynadock, front and rear.
    I looked online for limitations on the dynadock, but found none.

    I look forward to any constructive suggestions or information.

    Hello micjam,

    the Iomega DVD drive also not functioning, it is linked to the dynadock?
    No mouse, keyboard or other usb devices?

    Have you tried plugging the dynadock to a different usb port on your computer?

    Perhaps there is an update of the bios available for your computer.

    Hello Sammer

    Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used as internal drive only. I put t think you will be able to use it with an external device. On the restore CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to fix it for use with an external device.

  • Load Windows XP from external DVD drive

    Replaced the hard drive on laptop. DVD drive does not work on the laptop. How to install windows XP from an external DVD drive hard disk new?

    You must change the boot order in the BIOS of your computer.

    The boot order is order this computer tries to start from, for example, it can check the internal DVD first, then if there is nothing in there, go to the hard drive.

    You need to plug in your external DVD drive (it's probably USB).

    Then go into the BIOS setup - search for boot order and move the external DVD drive to the top of the boot list, so this is the first device to be "started" from.

    Then restart your laptop and then it should boot from the external DVD drive, which probably contains the installation media for Windows XP (DVD/CD).

  • I don't have a 93 years old goat needs to answer. I want to buy an external dvd drive, but don't know which is compatible with Windows XP, any help would be appreciated

    I don't have a DVD player on my computer, check the Net tells me tht I would need an external DVD drive that must be compatible with my computer which is Windows XP.

    Hello

    Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
    and DVDs and not just play).

    A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

    Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
    or the FRY.

    This is good, but there are many good brands.
