Help install a double layer DVD SATA drive

Just installed a dual layer SATA DVD drive in my Dimension 8300.  It is the second DVD drive installed.  It came with the SATA cable that I have attached to the motherboard's SATA connector.

But when I check for the installed hardware, I don't see the original DVD drive.

I know I can it's okay because the drawer will open and close properly.

I also double checked to make sure that the SATA connector is taken in the DVD player and the jury firmly.

Do I need to install the drivers?

Sorry, just of knowledge about the inner workings of my computer.

Thank you! : bravohelen:

  • Is - this Dell Inspiron 530 standard come with double-layer DVD ROM?

    I was wondering if the Dell Inspiron 530, I bought a couple of months back has a double layer, DVD ROM drive? I don't know how to find out - I was not put to level or something when you purchase so it is the standard that came with it.

    Thanks in advance


  • Double layer DVD burning does not

    The double-layer DVD burning does not work on my XPS420 w/vista.  The drive reads everything good and burns only 4.7 GB very well.  When you try to burn to a disc double layer blank he Burns half of the project (probably a layer), and then gives me an error message.  This happened with two different software.  Once with Roxio 10.1 included with the system and once with DVD Shrink.  I use an ISO image file appropriate.  My Player recognizes a disc blank double layer with 8 GB of free space.  During the burning process is when all else fails.  I downloaded the update of the firmware as well.  My thought is that it may be a media problem.  I virgins, disc double layer 8.5 GB DVD + R DL.  It's a brand off I've not heard of, but that was all that was available at the store.  It is a toshiba player, not sure of the model number.  16xRW +-.  Note: the front of the drive said no DL.  If all goes well they installed the correct drive.

    any thoughts?

    Thank you.

  • Create recovery media requests double layer DVD

    Good evening everyone.

    I just took delivery of my 5 new books for new employees of my company.

    3 of these notebooks are HP Probook 450 G2 (REF: J4R69EA)

    (These are the models with 128 GB SSD drives)

    The other two are Lenovo E540 with similar specs.

    So let's start, create recovery media. To ensure that is done before I give them to end users in question.

    While trying to create the windows disk, the program "HP Recovery Disc Creator" requires the double layer DVD: "Please insert a DVD double layer to move forward."

    The DVD in question that I use are discs of "Sony DVD + R 120 min / 4.7 GB" that in the past have always worked. (and now work for Lenovo laptops)

    Searching this forum told me to:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

    Unfortunately, this is not the same interface I. I choose only a drive to create a backup to

    (in this case, it is drive F:\ internal drive)

    I also tried an external DVD burner with the same results.

    I have not tried a USB, but this isn't what I want, and since you can create a backup set.

    Link to a screenshot: (you must copy paste in your browser apparently)

    http://loxsvc.netau.NET/HP/HP%20Discss.PNG

    It would be not that big of a problem if there was a real windows 7 key printed on the laptop.

    If I had a key, I would just reinstall the machine immediately with an image clean windows 7 so I don't have to clean up all of the HP software.

    but unfortunately this is not the case. So I need a Windows 7 recovery disk must be created.

    Any suggestions apart from the purchase of DVD DL?

    Thank you for your time

    Hey @SCamm,

    To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do it at Business Forum.

    Record double layer DVD-R and DVD + R discs can store much more data. DVD + R DL, also called DVD + R9 are what is needed to create the media recovery on this laptop.  Sorry to say.

    Thank you.

  • Problem reading disc double layer, DVD player

    Windows DVD Maker burned fine on my drive of Verbatim DVD + R double layer.  But he won't play in any dvd player, we have.  Also tried to play in our portable dvd player and the PS3 with no luck.  What Miss me?  The 4.7 GB DVD works fine at our DVD players.  Thank you

    Thanks for your reply KSib.  I had the dvd recorded in the standard wmv file that windows saves in, which is very good.  But if you try to go to where you saved it on your computer and try to write on a double layer dvd, it is write it, but don't allow you to watch on your computer or another computer... not on a dvd player.  The only way to be able to play the DVD double layer on a dvd using Windows player is to burn the Windows DVD authoring application DVD (not the location to save to your hard drive).  It takes forever to burn, of course... but so well worth it in the end when he actually plays.

    Yay for me!

  • double layer dvd win 7 x 64 does not burn

    I can't burn a double layer DVD (Memorex) in Win 7 x 64. Used to be able to but not now. Search many forums, no help. DVD burners have inclluded HL, HP 1260 t and Asus BW-12B1ST. All software and drivers up-to-date, I think. Even tried different DVD, no luck. Single layer all mfg all right, just not burn DL. Frustrated.

    If you can, lower the burning speed.  Double layer DVD are much more sensitive and downright temperamental than 4.7 standard.  And as you know, they are 5 or 6 times more expensive, too!

    Good luck.

  • Single-layer or double-layer DVD?

    Hello

    I have a DVD for a customer who now wants to make a small number of copies with the help of a third-party software.

    They asked me if he should order single-layer or double-layer DVD? I think the answer is single-layer, but I assure you.

    When I did the DVD, I set the size to 4.7 GB, although I used only 3.21 GB.

    This means that I should tell them to layer single order, right?

    Thank you

    Carolyn

    Right.

  • Problem during construction on a double layer dvd

    Hello! I made a dvd of my vacation with yet, but it was so big (6.62Go) I bought a double layer dvd to build. I have a video set as first game and 3 menus that are auto-activées when we choose a different button (as in the tutorial but linda.com I put a video on the background instead of an image).

    When I start to build, the writing is good but to roughly a little more than one-quarter, still ejects the disc. I tried to read the dvd on my computer and a dvd, but he could not read. Please help me as soon as possible. I worked on this project for several days and I am very proud of the result. I want to really over!

    I use the most recent updated even on a 64-bit windows computer 7.

    I did everything and it did not work

    I'll take that as a 'no' to my question.  So I would simplify to see if you can sort out what works and what is not. Rather than mess with what you have, I create a new project, add a menu, use no autoactivate and no introductory video and import one of your videos as a timeline and just a link.

    Does it work?

    I would try each of the main items that John described too.

  • Can my laptop burn double layer DVD + R discs?

    Hey, I have a laptop of HP G60-213EM

    And I know that I can burn a DVD + R etc but can I burn double layer DVD + R discs? On my PC, I usually use Verbatim discs double layer. And really want a quick answer if anyone knows if my laptop will burn Verbatim dual layer DVD + discs R. thanks

    Easy trolling for the congratulations but not so easy to give the right info. Yes, you have the DVD Multi burner double layer, so you can burn discs double layer. You must also good burning software. Two layers are difficult to do and you get a lot of roller coaster. The jump from Layer 1 to layer 2 to the burning often causes a problem. The best way to do it is to make a .iso to first and then burn.

  • Qosmio E10: The drive only reads DVD-R double layer / DVD + R

    Hey all,.
    I was wondering if someone could forward that request to the person responsible slimdrive firwmares to Toshiba.
    He finds that the carpet * a UJ-830 s drive not reading DUAL LAYER DVD-R / DVD + R (although it reads DVD-ROM OK DVD9).
    This disc, Mat * a UJ - 830 s equips the Qosmio E10.
    I have searched everywhere for a firmware update without success, so Toshiba are my only remaining chance.

    There is an update of the firwmare in of the Qosmio E10 driver section but that's UJ - 831S (and it does not work on UJ-830 s) :/
    Thanks for reading.

  • Cannot install windows 7-error: dvd/cd driver missing

    Try to install Windows 7 on a different SSD, but get an error indicating that the missing required cd/dvd driver.  How Windows load into memory from a cd/dvd that windows 7 says there is no driver missing?  This is the same installation disc that I used on a previous SSD without problem.  I have 2 other unused installation floppies, and each returns the error message.  This problem arose when an attempt to use System Restore Image I had done just on an external SSD and a drive hard usb.  The error I had to try to use one of them was that the Image was made in EFI and the computer seeks to restore in BIOS. It's the same machine.  Yes, disk management displays the UEFI 100 MB system partition.  The motherboard is an Asus F2A85 - V Pro.  List Disk running installation diisk sees only the cd/dvd and the drive hard usb but not the SATA drives.  When you normally use that List Disk sees everything.  The UEFI bios sees all readers, when you use the system installation disk.  I used a system repair disc made from the same computer at the same time as the picture of the system and used to start and got a system repair options is not compatible with this version of windows.  The windows version is 6.1.7601 sp 1 build 7601.  Any ideas?

    Hello

    Thank you for your response.

    There are two modes of starting particularly machine-> BIOS & EFI. BIOS is the general start mechanism found in most machines. Some of the machines also support EFI boot mechanism with BIOS

    Either the BIOS or EFI is set as the default in your machine - Please check start the installation system which

    one is active by default.

    If the EFI operating system is installed, it will create an EFI system partition in your machine. Installation of BIOS has no EFI partition.

    Warning in the BIOS: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to post in the case where you are facing other problems with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
