  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

• Satellite M30 - restore the external DVD drive

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the drive DVD internal Multi - replacement will take a month or two to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I connected an external DVD drive to the machine. When I start the machine starts on the restore CD but seems so looking for a Player X, I get the following messages displayed on the screen of the BACK:

  Device name: TOSCD001
  Number of units: 1

  CDR101: Not ready reading drive X
  Quit, retry, fail?

  Insert the recovery CD #1!

  What should I do?

  Kind regards
  Sameer

  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.

• I'll be able to use the external dvd drive on microsoft surface?

  I like really the surface so far and I was wondering if I'll be able to use an external dvd drive on the surface because there only 1 usb port.

  Yes.

  You can attach an external USB hub or port replicator and connect USB devices to one. And, if connected to the network, you can use the DVD player on any other computer network with any active permissinns and sharing.

  Hello

  I have a satellite A50 and try to use the recovery disk using a USB DVD drive (internal is damaged), is it possible? and how?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is possible, but you need an extended drive Toshiba compatible and taken in charge.
  I would recommend asking the service partner for readers supported and ordering of the ASP him. He has information on the supported devices and you'll be sure you get a car 100% taken in charge.

• Moving iPhoto library from the external hard drive for iMac

• cannot start on the external dvd drive

  I have a powered hub that I have attached a DVD player/recorder to. The hub is also connected to my Dell coming Pro 8 5830. I can use this DVD player/recorder in 8.1 for Windows to burn a Macrium rescue disc. I was also able to play videos with the DVD recorder/player while being connected to my Dell Tablet.

  I want to be able to start in the DVD player, if ever, I have to use my Macrium rescue disc to restore a saved backup image.

  When I go into the bios to make sure that the DVD player is selected first, he does not appear in the list.

  How can I configure the startup Dell Tablet in the DVD player if it is not displayed in the list of the Bios boot?

  We could use the power of Dell + data dongle USB OTG or similar device for example from other manufacturers, to circumvent the problem of power?  Then, it is a question of modifying the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, if possible.

• Impossible to mount the external hard drive on iMac

  I have a Seagate NTFS hard drive mounting problem on my iMac, do anyone know why?

  I am aware that iMac does not support the NTFS format. Already when I plug the hard drive NTFS, it has been able to mount the hard drive and the drive will appear on the desktop. I am able to read the disk, but cannot write , which is perfectly fine.

  The problem occurs when I finally had to write my iMac on the hard drive, so I downloaded the paragon of Seagate and software of dashboard that were meant to allow a Mac write to the hard disk. However, after installation, everything went haywire and the hard drive would not rise again. Remove the seagate software wouldn't help.

  My iMac still detect the drive when I plug the hard drive, but I can't mount the hard drive to use it. All I want is to be able to read the drive.

  Anyone know how I can get my iMac to climb back from the hard disk NTFS?

  I'm on El Capitan 10.11.2.

  Try to uninstall the "Seagate dashboard and paragon software" and restarting your iMac.

• Connect the external DVD player to Satelite Z930

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Toshiba external dvd drive, which officially supports win7 and Vista (no mention of 8) of the brand.

  The external dvd drive is model PA3834A-1DV2 aka Portable SuperMulti Drive

  When I connect this drive with one or two USB connections (SuperMulti drive has 2 USB connections), there's enough power to the drive eject and spin, but the computer does not display the drive in my computer. It is displayed in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation however.

  Y at - it no formal or informal word there is a way for this device works with Windows 8 on the Z930?

  My apologies if I should have posted this in a different thread.

  Which is really strange. I have the external BD drive and it is automatically recognized by Win7 or Win8.
  You use original Win8 preinstalled that you got with your laptop or you install on your own?

• 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).

  file .avi and .mov on iMac changed in .m4v when they are copied to the external hard drive. I will be able to open these files on other devices like a Windows PC?

  FWIW, do not change the extensions of file simply by copying the files to an external drive.

• How can I get the utility auditor of system files (SFC) in Windows XP to search for the source files on a CD in a CD/DVD EXTERNAL drive instead of the CD/DVD drive internal Windows?

  I use a Dell Dimension E310 PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition.  The CD/DVD drive has stopped recognizing CD long ago.  (He still recognizes DVD but not CD).  I use an external drive to CD/DVD of Asus.  I keep getting messages that Windows need to replace versions unrecognized some Windows file and asks me to insert my source CD into the CD/DVD drive.  I checked the MS Knowledge Base and got instructions on how to use the utility (SFC) System File Checker to replace the unrecognized Windows files.  I started the process and inserted the source of CD files (recovery CD provided by Dell with the PC when I bought it) in the drive of external CD/DVD, but the SFC would not recognize it it.  He just kept asking me to insert the CD of source files in the CD/DVD drive.  So I have to find a way to get the SFC utility to find files in the external CD/DVD drive source - or I have to take the PC to the Geek Squad, buy a new CD/DVD drive and get them to install it.  Would appreciate any help you can provide.

  GO to start > run > regedit
  Access
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

  SourcePath = X:

  Where X: is the drive letter of your CD/DVD

• I can't open 14 items installation file from the CD/DVD drive shared on my iMac to my MacBook Air.
