• XPS 8500 added second HDD and second optical drive

  I'll order a XPS 8500 with a HARD drive and an optical drive (at the same time TBD).  I'll add an additional HARD drive and an additional optical drive.  If I understand correctly, there one Sata3 connector which I assume is already occupied by the main HARD drive.  There should be three Sata2 connectors, one occupied by the primary optical drive.  The remaining Sata2 connectors are available for my new additions?

  What additional data / power cables will I need?

  Thank you!

  Hi Husker77,

  Welcome to the community.

  The system has two bays of 5.25 inches for loading tray SATA DVD +/-RW or Blu - ray drive (option) disc (optional) writable Blu - ray disc and two Bay 3.5 inches for SATA hard drives (internally accessible).

  An mSATA SSD drive (available internally). There are four connectors 7-pin (1 x SATA III, 3 x SATA II) where you can install the drives. A SATA 3 connector is occupied by the main hard drive and a SATA 2 connector is occupied by the optical drive. So yes, you can install a secondary hard drive and an optical drive in the system. Power connectors, ideally it should be there in the Tower system, however in case they are not present, you may need to power connectors to be ordered separately.

  Let me know any conclusions, glad to be useful.

• Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

  Hello

  I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  Thank you

  BUT do not forget that the FCS has been abandoned by Apple years ago, and the latest Apple operating systems are built without any concern as to the functionality of the FCS.

  Some of the apps in FCS are dead in the water, and others work with features limited or erratic.

  Anecdotal reports of problems running FCS on model are all over the map. Some do work, some don't.

  In addition, FCS2 has problems with the included Installer, requiring Rosetta to run (which is no longer included in the operating system), so it will not install without workaround.

• Optical drive fails to read most DVD

  Product: HP Pavilion dv4t-1500, Windows 7 64 bit OEM.

  A few weeks ago, my DVD drive stopped reading DVDs. I put a DVD and close the door and turns upward, then worms down, turns up, then down. And most of the time it never load the video content. Often, it is rather a dialog box asking if I want to burn a CD/DVD.

  I first thought that I had a defective CD/DVD drive. So, I bought one on eBay for $23 (taking care to get exactly the same drive). The same behavior persisted. So, I put the original disk in.

  I found an article online that said something about the upper filters, and I followed these instructions. Still no change.

  I then did a manual removal of the optical drive drivers by using Device Manager. After the restart and Windows loads, I tried again, and there was still no change.

  Then I did a system restore to the restore backup hard disk. Still no change.

  I'm at a loss to know what to do now. I can't do a clean install of an OEM installation. I have to buy a Windows 7 upgrade for $119 do a clean install. But before that I have to do a clean install of XP Pro, but I can't do it because I have not the SATA drivers are needed.

  Any ideas on how to get the Windows 7 system and its optical driver play together? Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  I can't update the firmware of any kind (HARD drive, optical drive) on the support page and the driver of your laptop.

  Enjoy your PC.

  I always found that they seem to go much more vivid when you make your own custom installation of a simple BONE and just add the necessary drivers and software you need.

• Optical drive does not and "Microsoft FixIT" did not help

  My optical drive cannot read any media. I have tried blank CDs and DVDs as well as store bought CDs and DVDs. I ran the Microsoft FixIt tool and it said everything was working.

  The only question he had was playing the media. He said "the drive is empty or the media format is not supported". However, the disc is NOT empty and the media format IS supported. Help, please! Thank you!

  Hello

  Have you installed CD/DVD programs lately? Too many people will cause issues that
  they will load the pieces themselves in memory and then they will be competing for resources.
  If you have recently added then try to uninstall them.

  -------------------------

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

  http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

  All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

  I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

  Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

  In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

  My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

  I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

  Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

• Optical drive for IBM Thinkpad R50e, type 1834.

  Have been looking for a DVD RW for an IBM Thinkpad R50e drive, type 1834. This has proved to be not easy.

  Why, when I specify the model and the type I have, so a lot of readers not supported those listed and not supported? I'm not interested in optical drives that does not fit. I would like to know who does.

  I do not have the old original disk so I can't check the number of parties on the matter. So, what number of coins is the DVD RW drive has that fits the IBM Thinkpad R50e, type 1834?

  I think you mean the acoustic silencer

• Portege R500 - Bad optical drive delays the start - how to fix?

  The Portege R500 has recently begun does not start. Initially there not some time later, frequently. By chance, I discovered that if I left alone for a minute or two, he will continue to start. That and the noise coming from the optical driver, made me suspect the problem was not with the HARD drive, as I feared at first, but with the optical driver.

  I read in the thread below that other people had this problem. MrBear mentions * I pulled it out again and pushed on the Ribbon connecting the CD-ROM to make sure they were safe. Turned on again and he pulled up without problem! *

  Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=43300&tstart=0]

  Could someone clarify in what ribbons must be treated? Only those who are visible by opening the drive? Or it is necessary to open the notebook?

  Furthermore, if I booted into Windows, it stopped again, for a minute or two, while Windows is loading. With Ubuntu, there is no such problem. Perhaps Windows tries to communicate with the optical driver for some reason any.

  Tnaks for any help!

  Hello!

  Is your laptop still under warranty? If so I put t understand why you try to solve the problem by yourself. Go to the nearest EPA and ask a technician for help. These guys are very useful and they have the most experience on laptop repairs.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  And the problem with Windows, it is difficult to tell why Windows stops for a minute. Maybe it s a software problem so disable all programs that you start n t need in msconfig.

  Good bye

• Optimal positioning of ports, sockets and on Satellite L855-14 optical drive

  I bought a * Toshiba L855-149 * a few weeks and I really like it.
  Is my Toshiba laptop, 4 to 14 years, and as usual, everything works perfectly. I like the way it starts in less than 10 seconds.

  On the 3 previous models, the optical drive has been on the right side and most of the catch and the ports were on the front and left sides. On L855 headphones, microphone and taken more Lan HDMI and 2 USB ports are on the right and if you are using a mouse, then, when you use connected devices or ethernet wires are creeping over the mouse.

  There must be an optimal position for all ports etc.; and it's not where they are located on the L855.
  Toshiba seems to re - position ports/jacks on all models without good reason.
  I'm fussy?

  I guess that if you use a WiFi only or you are left-handed, then none of this is a problem.
  I keep the laptop on a desk and never move it prefer to connect all devices.

• 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.
