• External DELL GP60N USB DVDRW drive will not play DVD

  Hello

  I have a new Dell Inspiron 3531 with Windows 8.1.  The laptop came with an internal DVD/CD drive, so I bought a Dell GP60N external USB DVD - RW Drive.

  When I put a DVD in the drive that the laptop recognizes it is there, but will not play regardless of how I set the automatic run settings.

  I also searched drivers see if mine was outdated, but not found to contribute to the situation.

  Any help from the community will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Default Windows can not decode DVD video, so you will need some reading software...

  Usually, when you buy a DVD player/burner, you get with it, WinDVD or PowerDVD software for video playback and some other software if the device may also burn discs... UNLESS the material was an OEM version, which normally does not come in a box like the commercial version, then you normally get nothing...

  So for now the easiest thing is to connect the drive to the laptop and then insert a DVD into the drive. Go to the Explorer, and then right-click the DVD by selecting drive open. You should now see two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. This indicates that Windows sees DVD disc material correctly and that he also sees the files in the DVD itself... Nothing wrong up to now...

  Now, go into the VIDEO_TS directory where you should see a bunch of files, a bunch of. BUP. IFO and. VOB files. The. VOB files contain the video code CSS while the. IFO files contain orders for DVD to play appropriate video channel (flow). Normally, the. IFO and. VOB files will have an affair with some reading software and double click on the VIDEO_TS. VOB file will launch the player. If the player is associated. Can manage files IFO CSS encoded DVD, playback will begin and you will hear the sound and see some video... If you have a drive associated with these types of files, usually autoplay will kick and the reading starts automatically on insertion of the DVD in your drive... But if you double-click and there is no software associated with this file extension, so there is no software associated with these files and you can't watch your DVD...

  But as mentioned, Windows does not capable by default DVD playback software, so you will need to install a DVD playback software... One solution is to contact the company (Dell?) who provided the external DVD player and ask them why you do not have the comercial DVD reading and DVD software of engraving that you expected would come with your hardware, they can predict it you if she should have come in your package, or they will tell you where you can download it from...

  If they won't help or they say it was hardware OEM and that it did not come with software, then consider using VLC to play your videos, as the software is free open source of quality. This page explains how to use VLC to play DVDs in Windows 8... You can also use ImgBurn for burning CDs and DVDs (not blindly just click on the buttons of large download on this web site because they are advertisements for * you need not, simply the page to the section of news where you have a download link)...

• Satellite A660 - 11 M optical drive will not write to CD or DVD

  I got my A660 for about 9 months and it was burning without any problem but about a month ago, I tried to burn a DVD and the operation failed.

  Since then, I have tried a number of different CD & single layer / double layer DVD which all failed.

  I also ran the factory reset to recreate the image on the laptop, but the same problem persists.

  The drive seems to be written the drive normally until the end when it fails, then there is no visible trace on the disc and the machine will always be recognizes it as empty.

  There seems to be no problem in playing discs, just write down them.

  Does anyone know if there is an update of the firmware available for the reader?

  Which app to use for writing to the disc?

  To be honest I have think don firmware t update will change anything. I assume that there must be a problem with the calibration of the lens.

• Satellite P30 - DVD-RAM drive will not write DVD

  I have a Satellite P30 - 145 running XP Home Edition with a carpet * a reader of DVD-RAM UJ - 831S. I am able to read and write CDs and read DVDs, but am unable to write DVD. In 'My Computer', the drive is marked as a DVD - RAM drive, but if I insert a DVD r or DVD R, the label changes to CD drive, and I am not able to format the drive, I just inserted.
  Clues as to what is happening and what I can do about it?

  Hello

  Since when is this problem here? Is your unit pre-installed with your own operating system or with the recovery image? DVD - RAM Driver Software V3.1.0.0 is also pre-installed correctly? Burning application you are using?

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, reboot the device and check if the drive is recognized correctly again. As far as I know that your device comes with fixed burner DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) and you should be able to create all formats.

  What is DVD format?

• HP Pavilion p7-1234: functional CD/DVD drive will not boot Clonezilla disk recognize

  Have three HP p7 in small desktop running Win 7 64 bit. (Avast free version)

  None of them will recognize a bootable Clonezilla ISO or Zip, whether on CD/DVD or USB.

  Measures already taken:

  BIOS set to boot from CD/DVD

  In turn the BIOS configured to boot from USB

  Have used any compatible version of Clonezilla downloads based on my operating system and the processor, including the generic i686 ISO and Zip. (and makes bootable USB drive)

  CD/DVD and USB function perfectly well otherwise. Able to access the other disks and USB media with no problems.

  Also able to see the Clonezilla ISO when I look at the CD/DVD drive.

  It starts simply what whether Clonezilla.

  If someone has encountered this, I would like to share your experience.

  Thanks for your time.

  One rookie mistake.

  Problem:

  Solution:

  1. download the ISO Clonezilla appropriate for your computer, on your desktop.
  2. place the disc in the CD/DVD drive
  3. "right click" on the Clonezilla ISO on your desktop.
  4 Select "Burn Image" and follow the default values.

  Now you have a proper boot Clonezilla disk.

  Next:

  1. make sure the BIOS is set to CD/DVD is bootable.
  2. place Clonezilla disc in open the tray of the CD/DVD drive.
  3. restart the computer and close the CD/DVD tray
  4 put your finger on "F9" key and now wherever the blue HP screen appears, press "F9".
  5. boot Menu loads.
  6. move arrows down to the first line indented under "ATAPI CD/DVD DRIVE...
  SATA2 or SATA3 will be according to your system.
  7 hit ENTER.

  Clonezilla immediately, boots and loads.

  I hope it works for you.

Help!

  Hello

  Its not unusual for the same problem have an impact on both drives, in fact its very common.

  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

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

• CD/DVD RW drive bed but will not write...

  I use Windows XP and use the disk drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7530A. Under "Properties" is the State of the device "working properly" and he plays both CDs and DVDs. However, it will not write. I tried several software programs, including windows Media Player. When I right click on the driver, there is a recording tab.

  The drive appears to work at first, but it can progress remains at 0% and the drive will continue as he does something, but it's not. If I try to cancel the burning using buttons in the software, nothing will happen. It will freeze my computer. The Task Manager will not work, and my only option is to keep the off button on the laptop until it dies. When I turn it back on, a small window pops up saying files are waiting to be transferred to disk, click on the bubble to continue (or something like that). If I click on it, then I see the blue screen of death and the computer shuts down.
  He also seems to have done something for my Explorer, it freezes too (I'm on Safari now)

• Vista Home Premium will not write to CD - RW; will write to the CD - R and DVD

  I installed all the updates window vista Home premium. I have a DVD/R/W/drive. Vista will write a CD - R disc and the DVD disc. Vista will open the media on a CD - R, DVD, and CD - RW, which is what I use.  Vista will not write on a CD - RW disc, sending the files on the drive, pop - up Vista says "insert writable disc in the drive", or he'll want to format the drive, formatting always fails; I removed the filter upper and lower; I used MR.

• External CD drive will not mount on OSX

  An external CD/DVD drive will not mount on my iMac running the latest OSX update. I'm on my second CD drive (sorry Amazon). When I insert an audio CD, it is recognized. I am able to rip the CD fine, but then the Player responds neither to open unless I unplug the USB to which I am able to open it and change the CD I tried to use external power to the player. That

  s not the question. Disk Util sees only after fresh USB connection. Profile of sys can see at any time. Back to zero does not correct the problem is it better that disconnect and reconnect. All OS updates have been applied. No other devices or software problems. Y at - it a tip. This should be simple and Yes, CD player works on a Windows machine, but I have not yet tried on another machine from Apple.

  Post edited by: HOUSE is compatible OSX and the issue is not resolved.

  Is the devices designed to work with OS X?

• My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is

  My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.

  Help?

  Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

• Satellite P10: The drive will not burn DVD

  Hope someone can help me,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P10 and have just received some photos software, burning
  But my drive will not burn DVD, I try with discs DVD - RW which must work my laptop.
  What is happening is when it comes of the burn on the part of the disk of the process he starts, but it fails.

  I tried to burn it with Nero, but even if I burn OK on any CD discs with this software it will not work on DVD discs. It's really annoying because when the burning process it fails so that it makes the DVD - RW disc seem curupt and then my drive has problems mounting the disc to try a deletion once more.

  I have the Nero log file failed
  Done if it's any help to anyone.

  A big thank you Michael.

  Hello

  What about different DVD media? Have you tested the media DVD-R or DVD + R common?
  Have you tried different brands of DVD?
  I can't give you a properly answer why the drive can't burn your DVD - RW, but to my knowledge not every media is supported by the player.
  So I think you should check different DVDs.

• Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD

  I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8 version.  The hard drive will not accept a CD or a DVD.  Thinking maybe I left a floppy disk in the drive, I tried to eject, but the eject button does not eject anything.  I have not tried to insert a disk for a long time, so do not know how long it could have been a problem without me realizing it. I tried to shut down the computer and restart, but this does not solve the problem.  I did some research using the Apple Hardware Test, but the instructions say insert the Applications install disc 2.  Unfortunately, as I can't insert a disc, I can't deal with the problem in this way?  Any suggestions?
