HP Envy 15-J009WM w / no CD/DVD drive

Hello-

I just replaced my old PC with a new laptop HP Envy, which I was love until I discovered it is not a CD/DVD drive at all. (It does not have a card reader).

It's common these days or I buy a bad model?

I have the camera software and some photos on CD. How do I get this on the laptop. What about the future software.

Thank you.

Hello

Many machines now do not have optical drive (CD/DVD drive) because sellers want to save a few hundred grams (that's why they call saving weight or similar terms). You can buy an external ODD, they are now very cheap if you need. For your camera, you can go to the support site of the seller to download updated driver (s) and the software, and then install on your new machine.

Kind regards.

    Your external DVD drive is operatying as it should.

    The best place to find an answer on how to make the live CD is the Debian forum. Disk made you apparentlydoes is not not a MBR boot sector or a recognized EFI partition. Either of the people is what is necessary for the drive to be bootable and your notebook BIOS must be configured in accordance with the choice of the type of format.

    Personally I've always preferred to use a utility likeUNetbootln to make several versions of Linux "live" bootable.

    I don't bother with the hassle of the DVD or CD media more.

    If you have a spare drive 32 or 64 GB USB flash drive, so you can put an incredible number of versions of Linux and troubleshooting utilities on it.

    The economy of scale with usb flashdrive has gotten to the point where a 16 GB usb key is less expensive than recordable DVD media. Check outthe Newegg price.

  • HP ENVY 850se Phoenix: HP ENVY Phoenix 850 DVD Drive

    Hello

    I just bought two HP ENVY Phoenix 850se computers.  I would like to return the DVD drive on one of them, 180 degrees so the axis to the other sense.  I studied the material and can't really tell if it is possible.  It seems that the bezel for the reader includes a curved upper part if it complies with the case.  I can't determine if this piece is 'readable' or not, and I thought that I post and ask here before tearing into it.

    Thank you!

    For those who follow along, the DVD player can not be returned because the bezel attached only one way.

  • HP ENVY M6-1105DX hinges + DvD Drive to good work done?

    Hello. I have some problems with my HP Envy m6-1105dx I received some time around Christmas 2012 from BestBuy. It has been a year of very pleasant to use, especially for games and social networks and other, and I was take care of it, ever since. I've never taken to anywhere outside of my home. I just leave it on a cool table where I can use it as a way to office everyday. However, all about the summer of last year, I noticed from my right hinge becomes very sensitive when closing it. So I thought that maybe I should close more slow the next time. After that around December 2013, the right hinge sprung loose on the right side, make some gaps between the right side of the hinge, on the side of the laptop screen and my monitor display 3 slim blue and purple lines, that irritate me.

    After that, I sent my laptop to be inspected at first sight to a trustworty computer repair store I've visited when my old Office XP does not work. They were my only hope to the fixing of envy, because how my warranty expired around December of the same year, and someone in my house unfortunately threw the case and the reception I got from BestBuy. They mentioned how some companies use cheap adhesives and plastic to make new laptops. Above all, they took note of my DVD drive, which had a yellow bracelet that was not supposed to be as damaged as it seems. (I never really used the DVD player, since I already have music and videos on my phone). They charged me $30 for another review of the laptop inside, and if they found something seriously wrong with the laptop, they would charge me around $20 - $200 extra. At this time, I refused, looking for another way to fix. I tried to visit other repair shops and got the same answers, needing further inspections, etc.

    I really need advice on what to do. I am only a teenager in high school, barely received any money to afford to repair. I have seen videos of YouTube on the repair of several screens of laptops Envy M-series, searched through the internet for several replacements, hinges, etc., screen or other repair shops. The thing is I'm not really confident in my ability to repair a laptop, and it feels like theres really nothing I can do.

    My left hinge is at the point where its about to pop, and I'm starting to see good glue cheap ripping off the hinge, as if it was made in fact at a great price. I really need advice to find a way set these hinges and get my laptop back into shape.

    Thank you for the time and I'm sorry if I wrote too.

  • ENVY of HP dv6-7246us SSD Upgrade, problem Windows 7 installation with boot from a usb/dvd drive.

    Hi all

    I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Hi, Robert:

    Go you into the BIOS and change in legacy Mode?

    I think that you need to do in order to boot from another device other than the hard drive.

    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

    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.
