New on DVD & CD Burninng

Please help me!  As stated, I am new to burning CDs and DVDS.  I have a voice recorder digital that I use to record seminars and other info.  I want to save this info on a CD.  I have Window Vista Home Premium.  I need of the first stage of the insertion of the recorder into the USB port, and it takes from this step.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello

Check with the manufacturer of the digital recorder for instructions on how to connect the
device to your computer. They also have help for transfer of files from it
the computer.

If you want to be able to use the disks on other computers, you need to use
the mastered Format. The mastered Format does not support re - write. If you do not
need to use the disks on other computers and want to be able to re - write and then use
the system of active files with type RW media. For use mastered Format + or - R media.

  • Equium A80 - BIOS does not detect new CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I had to change a DVD player in my laptop Equium A80 earlier and now have problems using the restore DVD to my laptop to factory settings. I updated the BIOS with the latest version available, but the BIOS is still not able to see the DVD player, so does not start a restore. The DVD is fine once Windows has loaded and works very well on another PC under BIOS. I tried another DVD drive on the laptop, but he is unable to see anyone.

    Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

    Thank you!

    Hi mate,

    First of all the CD/DVD drive must be recognized in the BIOS that you can boot from the CD/DVD drive. Otherwise it of not possible to boot from the Toshiba recovery disc.

    What is the type of the old/new CD/DVD drive?

    The user manual contains a list of compatible drives. It appears here? The fact is that not all drives are compatible with all laptops.

  • Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

    I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

    Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

    Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
    It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

    I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
    I need to download the drivers to operate?
    It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

    I'd appreciate any help. THX

    The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
    I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

    As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

    You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

    However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
    My user manual provides this information.

    I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 computer is running Windows XP service pack 3, it has a cd/DVD burner in this model (HL-DT-ST DVD +-RW GWA4164B), I used to be able to burn CDs and DVDs fine, so please respond with lol 'maybe your drive doesn't burn DVDs' as you can see in the model # it's a DVD +-RW drive.

    But my problem is the following... for some reason the DVD burner does not detect the 'NEW' blank DVD - R, there is no problem of detection of blank CD - R disc and I can burn fine on the CD - R. But for some reason it does not detect blank DVD?

    When I put one in the drive, I don't get the popup asking what I want to do etc, or to go to WORKSTATION and look a the drive it shows no media present.

  • New CD/DVD drive is not properly recognized on Satellite A30

    Hi all

    I just bought a new CD-RW/dvd-r for my Satellite A30 disk drive, and it does not recognize the new drive. It is certainly compatible (the player itself is the SD-R2412), but when I go to 'my computer' there is no cd drive it at all.

    I have the feeling that it could be something to do with the code of the device in Device Manager, but I don't know how to change, what is the new number, or even what to do.

    Can someone help me? -Is it something to do with the Device Manager, drivers or something else?

    Thank you, Jon

    Edit: I noticed there are a few other people with the same problem - but it is a different cause. For most people than what happens when the software is installed, and when they enter the Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation point.

    However - this is not the case for me. This is a new piece of hardware, and there is no yellow triangle in my device manager. I think it's the wrong device i.d. as I changed the drive itself - but do not know how to go for the implementation, so that the computer makes this new record

  • ENVY 750-129cb: new computer - DVD not opening

    Hello

    Just bought a HP Envy 750-129cb awesome computer - and internal DVD/CD RW drive does not, when the button is pressed (after the opening of the case of money - outside)

    HP DVD/CD RW drive

    Module # DV - 8465H, February 2016

    Provided with the computer

    I opened the computer and checked all cables, etc., everything looks good, but the DVD will not open.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thank you very much for the help - I really appreciate it.

    So, I bought a new graphics card - graphics of 750 Genforce GTX ti, as my old HP Elite had an AMD Radeon 6700, while I was trying to get an equivalent to him for my new HP Envy, since AMD card was not compatible with the motherboard.

    The 'tech' guy, said it would make a difference of 25% - the graphics card GTX AGAIN, that what came with the HP Envy 730 GT map - and especially good for photos.

    But, please let me know your thoughts. Don't you think it's a value-wile put this card in? Maybe I'd better return the card and put it toward a new laptop, since both of my laptops died at.

    Thank you once again, all the details would be really nice

    Hello

    The recovery CD can be ordered from each Toshiba authorized service provider.
    Authorized service provider fixed prices of recovery CD and each country has different prices, but generally it should not be expensive.

  • Satellite SA50-110 - IDE #1 error after the insertion of a new CD/DVD drive

    Hey there!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite SA50-110 portable psa50e.
    I have built in a new dvd driver and after I restarted my laptop

    I get the message IDE # 1 and I can't use the driver. I read in some forums that I probably need to update my bios. I do it. But the error continues.
    Can anyone help please?

    I am that all readers of optical discs aren't for each laptop model. The problem is: assignment of pins. Therefore, it is very important to use compatible hardware components.

    In my case the problem is compatibility.

    I get the message IDE # 1 and I can't use the driver. I read in some forums that I probably need to update my bios. Now, here's the problem. I can only update version 1.5 for my laptop.

    I tried that and get the message that I already have version 1.5. I can't find an another update of bios for the A40 series except the 1.5 which is since 2004.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are completely wrong boyfriend.
    This problem will be resolved not the BIOS updates!

    You bought the car just not compatible.
    The IDE #1 error means that the device connected to the IDE 1 controller was not recognized. Why? Because of the wrong master/slave/C-salt settings!

    Slim portable settings are controlled by the firmware and cannot be changed as weird for desktop PC.

    Either you contact the manufacturing of the CD/DVD drive and will require an update of the firmware and how to change these settings or you need to purchase a new compatible RATING

  • MASTERED OPTION IS GRAYED OUT WHEN YOU TRY TO BURN A HOME PC PREM BRAND NEW VIRGIN DVD + R ON VISTA 32-BIT

    Due to virus I had to rebuild PC using the RECOVERY partition on hard drive. All windows updates have been applied to date (August 2011). Before the virus problem (July 2011) WAS able TO SELECT THE "MASTERED" OPTION WHEN YOU are GOING to USE WINDOWS TO BURN a VIRGIN DVD + r. NEW once AGAIN, this WORKED BEFORE, NOW THE MASTER OPTION IS GRAYED OUT.  I have a brand new DVD + R blank and tried several of them thinking it was the disk (I've used this same brand (magnavox) DVD + R 4 years now never this problem of the "controlled" option is grayed out.) I use the same DVD burner which came with the PC and it allowed me to select the option "Mastered" last month (July 2011). I am using Windows HomePrem 32-bit OS (originial system that came with PC and this allowed me to select the mastered option last month. I applied all the updates Win at present. I have no other problems with the PC. Once again, driving the nail: this WORKED BEFORE, last month on the exact same hardware and the software/OS (Juillet2011), then why this option appears GRAYED out now?  This question has been asked before and 'experts' simply stressed totally USELESS MS pages showing how to select either under control or direct - I DO NOT NEED THIS HELP as I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO SELECT either option and what each is for. Also the other 'fixed' DOES NOT APPLY to this situation. (Do NOT send me to the following links because they DO NOT ANSWER to THE QUESTION: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/burn-a-disk-mastered-is-unavailable-grayed-out/9eb41f09-1778-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5?page=1&tm=1312314316719#footer or http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-sound/mastered-format-option-grayed-out/aee1469f-1095-436c-9f12-acce80c2bb99.) These 2 links DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION, so answer the question, do not send us in circles, always looking for the answer.  How SIMPLY THE QUESTION IS: Fix us the radio button for 'Mastered' so that it is NO LONGER GRAYED OUT when you insert a brand new, clean the DVD + R in my DVD burner (same that I had for years, which worked before) on my Vista 32 bit OS HomePRem? I have a host of (222 blank GB) of disk space and a lot of RAM (4 GB) and again I WAS able TO select the "mastered"option before my restoration." Help!
