• External DVD/CD drive

  Recently, the internal DVD/CD player in my Acer Aspire laptop (Windows 7) has stopped working. I was going to get it fixed/replaced (depending on what was needed), but it is expensive. I then discovered a LG external DVD/CD player which is very affordable with good reviews. I have just a few questions about it. I send LG and they said that it would work as my drive is internal. I want to know if I can still use Windows Media Player to watch DVDs and copy/burning CD, or do I have to install another drive? In addition, I was told that I have to contact Microsoft to make the external DVD drive my main drive for the media about things. I was trying to email Microsoft, but I couldn't find a way to do it and the chat option wasn't working as I was way too long waiting. In any case, I hope someone can help. I also hope that I didn't not rambling too! Thanks to anyone who can lend a hand here.

  Short answer.  No problem at all.  DVD drives external work work very well.  They do not act any differently the model failed in your Acer.  I recommend this for many people here, but also a number of my clients.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize external DVD drive - so how do you watch a movie DVD?

  I just connected an external DVD - RW drive in my ultrabook of Windows 8 for the first time.  The ultrabook recognizes the drive and the dvd movie which are, but Windows Media Player only - only says: "connect a device".   The resolution of the issues said that the drive works properly.  I can't copy this movie at the video store, because it's a borrowed DVD.  So, how do WMP to recognize the DVD drive and play the movie?

  Hi HWH-CED,
  DVD playback is possible in 8 Pro windows media center. Player Windows Media 8 has no native codecs DVD added to it. You have the option to purchase an update for your Windows 8, which is Media Center Pack to allow playback of DVDs on your computer.
  * Note: Media center pack is only an upgrade for existing computers to Windows 8.

• External DVD burner

  It was after that I posted on Feb11.  I have a new Samsung slim DVD external writer that works perfectly in a computer on a desktop with Windows 7 and XP, Vista.  But it does not work on my X 200 tablet with Windows 7 or X 200 identical a friend of pellets.  Samsung says that their author is compatible Windows 7. Lenovo said their USB ports are fine, and I think that the two carmakers since my USB ports check out on Lenovo diagnostics and my tablet will run an external drive. I went into Device Manager. changed settings that allow the computer to disable the USB ports to save energy and have tested each USB hub - everything is fine, but the DVD recorder, although it will load the videos and photos, will run slowly and evil.  Any ideas?

  X 200 tablet with Windows7 professional 32-bit 7448CTO

  I found the solution and I am convinced of this.  It is NOT a problem of Lenovo.

  It turns out that consulting the Task Manager when the external DVD burner drive was plugged in and does not, there was also a .exe program to my external hard drive I plug for backup intermittently.  Close this program in repeatable tasks Manager allows my DVD burner work properly.

  Hope this helps others.

• 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:

• Implement the external dvd drive on iMac

  Hello

  My superdrive drive started acting funny (not eject disks and then do not read), so I bought an external dvd reader/player.
  Everything worked fine until I installed an SSD instead the superdrive.
  Now, when I go to play a DVD in the DVD drive external drive says "there was an error of initialization, a valid dvd drive could not be found."

  Other applications do not recognize the dvd either, as they did.

  Disk utility will find the dvd if it is in drive but you will not find the player if there is no DVD.

  Is there something I can do to recognize the DVD player as the default player for the iMac?

  Thank you

  iMac 24 inch early 2009

  DVD writer Samsung laptop, SE208

  There is nothing to recognize without a disc in the DVD player. It's normal. Apple's DVD player software does not work on my iMac 2009 with the original drive in an external case because I also installed an SSD in the optical Bay. I use VLC to watch videos. My disc burning software, Toast, recognizes external very well.

• 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?
