• computer does not detect not active LightScribe dvd writer drive.

  Bought in 2009-trusty HP Photosmart C8180 printer all-in-one has a permitted lightscribe dvd burner drive. Worked very well with 32-bit Xp computer.

  Now I have a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit, so had to download software like older software would not work. Printer now works fine again, even wireless. Yesterday I tried to use the dvd player, but my new computer does not detect the dvd on the same printer drive. I love this printer and nothing on the market has the following features for a replacement is not what I want.   Someone at - it suggestions. Cheers from Tasmania

  Tried the software. Its the same thing as what I downloaded when my own outdated software did not work.  I tried to add a USB in addition to the wi - fi connection. The computer then saw the drive. This means that it is the only way it will work or is there some software/driver tweeking or more I can / add to make ALL of the wi - fi function

• Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

  My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
  I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

  At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
  This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

  I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

  The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
  The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
  Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thank you, Stu.

  Hello

  What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

  You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

  But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

• w540 does not detect DVD drive

  W540 does not detect the CD / DVD drive and because it takes a long time to start.

  I know that I can put the hard drive to boot first, but now I want to install windows 7 and it does not start.
  I have already installed the latest version of the BIOS but does not solve everything.

  I wonder what's happening?

  Thank for the help that you can give me.

  I discovered why the player start out with reinstalling windows DVD.
  According to the manual, so that the operating system Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 work, Secure Boot function must be activated. Similarly, restarting the OS Optimized Defaults menu must be activated and when this setting is changed, some BIOS settings are changed automatically including the UEFI / Legacy Boot happening to UEFI. We need to change the UEFI / Legacy Boot for both, only then can start the DVD from the drive.

  I thank ColonelONeill for your help.

  Go to the store and buy an optical drive. They are very expensive. No, you cannot use the optical drive of your laptop. You can possibly create a bootable USB key with a distribution of Linux on it and copy the correct boot hard disk files. I say "may" because not all older computers can boot from a USB device. Look in your BIOS to see if your computer has this capability. If he can:

  If you have not backed up your data, then you have trouble. While you're at the store also buy an external hard drive. You can start the computer with a Linux Live CD (in your new optical drive), and copy the files on the external hard drive. Then you can continue to try to repair your computer.

• CD/DVD on my D610 running Win 7 does not detect a blank DVD

  I just bought a Dell D610 with Win 7 and my optical drive doesn't detect any blank DVD in the drive.  CD is fine and I am able to burn a CD, but do not detect any DVD, be they + R or - R.

  The player is able to detect and play the burnt meadow or store bought DVDs very well.

  I've been to the Section of the driver of dell and get the message that the OS is not supported.  I tried to load the driver for my drive but no luck.

  I have two D610s, one running XP and the reader detects and burns DVD fine.  I swapped the drive of the laptop with Win 7 and used on one with XP and it works very well.

  Tried both discs on one running Win 10 and again, they fail to detect any blank DVDs, I tried, including Memorex and Maxwell discs with no luck.

  Both drives are HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD GCC4244 ATA

  Current driver version: 6.1.7601.17514 Date: 2006-06-21

  I also tried the Driver on the Dell download site, but that doesn't work anymore.

  I have read suggestions to remove upper and/or lower limits, but this info is not listed in the section of the registry.  Could this be the issue perhaps?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi acamara,

  This disc is a CD-RW/DVD-ROM. It can read and burn CDs, but it can only read DVD, not burn DVDs.

• XP does not support burning DVDs or need for resettlement?

  The combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive in my work more former Windows computer has failed. I replaced it with a DVD +/-RW recovered on a newer computer broken. The computer came with Windows 98SE (I said it was my most old), but I had it installed the player that can only play DVD's before the upgrade to XP.

  I thought the Hardware Wizard to detect the new drive looked like XP it can now burn DVDs, but everything concerning the integrated burning guard speaks "copy to CD" or "burn CD" and encouraging me to "insert a blank CD.

  Not XP SP3 doesn't support data DVD burning using built-in tools, or should I reinstall or repair XP to recognize that the only CD burner has been replaced by a DVD burner? It would be easier to find just a 3rd party free tools. I didn't break anything to use as I got a burner that has been integrated into another computer (breath capacitors on the motherboard) burner who gave to a recycling center after having been stripped of useful things like a hard drive replacement, and a 56K modem/fax on a map. (the modem may not be useful nowadays, but fax is).

  I'm afraid that "native" DVD burning was introduced not to Windows until Vista. XP does not support native DVD burning. However, you can use 3rd party burning software. Most "retail" burn the material will be delivered with a CD offering a 'lite version' of such software, for example Nero.

  There are also freebies autour. Many on this forum recommend imgburn

• Does not detect my HARD drive in the BIOS

  Yesterday, I bought DT01ACA300 of HARD drive and it does not detect.
  I've tried it on two motherboards (different ports and different controllers: AMD, Intel chipset JMicron chipset) with different powers and signal cables (which do not work with my player Samsung HDD and DVD SATA Lite-on), but it won't do no good...

  It seems that the only thing that might have caused it may be the power supply, but I can't check it out because I don't have a spare. I tried to disable most of the unnecessary controllers on MB to lower energy consumption, but it did not help.

  From what I've read on the Internet, it seems that it is not I can do by myself and it is very likely defective drive, but I still have some hope that I can make it work...

  It would be a big problem to return to calm: I'll have to send in another city in the authorized service center so that they would check it, and then only, I can get a replacement (if noone will fly it by then, which can happen...).

  Which machine do you have?

• Qosmio F10: Driver Installation does not detect the wireless network card

  I wonder if anyone can help before I phone supported again. My motherboard is dead and ASP replaced and recovered my laptop qosmio F10. Since having back, my wireless card did not work.

  Windows detects a "network controller" whenever it starts and gives me the opportunity to install it. I tried to install it by navigating in the 'tools and utilities' records CD rom for folders and subfolders of "Wireless network driver" and it still does not detect the card.

  I also tried to install using the cd rom web gui and selected the 'Pilot wireless network' link and then tried to install it. It opens a dos command prompt and try to install but comes up with the error "failed installation.

  I ran the customer service and they told me to run the qosmio recovery/then recovery of product/recovery of qosmio and again...

  I still don't the card wireless not yet installed. This happened to someone else?

  I tried already shot the drivers from the web, but with no luck... If a representative of customer service with the help of good technical knowledge that would be great, or if someone has encountered the problem too and he had fixed to the give me some advice...

  Thank you very much

  Sean

  Hello

  you see the card wireless as an unknown device in Device Manager? If this is not the case, perhaps that the card was not properly installed after replacing the motherboard.

  Sorry I have no other idea.

  Good bye
