noise loud and annoying of the DVD drive to the power of the system on

Hello, I have a laptop Dell Precision M6800 equipped with the stock of DVD GS40N burner. When turn on/off the system the DVD player makes a noise as if it is trying to load a disc while there is not present in the drive Bay. The noise goes away if I leave a disc inserted and the power of the system, but this is hardly a solution to the issue.

The drive runs ok the rest of the time, it's making load noise when I switch on the laptop or when you exit the BIOS configuration, but not in the OS restarts, so I think it's something related to POST stock that is executed when the turn on/off the system. I've updated the BIOS through each published version, including the latest version A14, but the problem is still present.

This is normal for this model of DVD player? It's pretty boring.

Hello Mr. Osprey4, thanks for the quick response. My system is UEFI boot which, in my opinion, automatically detects disks that have the files needed to do a UEFI boot mode.  If I'm not confused it means that the DVD appears as a boot device only when a UEFI boot DVD is inserted, only then I can uncheck the option to boot from the dvd in BIOS, but as I mentioned the noise is present only when there is no disc in the Bay, but when there is no disc There is no option for unckeck in the bios because UEFI Setup does not detect the dvd as a bootable device if there is no boot drive UEFI is inserted.

Bot is another option to select the legacy startup that has the classic options with checkboxes for the floppy drive, HARD drive, DVD, network and so on, and I tried this also. I turned off the dvd player in the startup list, applied the settings and you exit the BIOS but noise from the dvd Bay was always present.

  • Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

    Hi all

    Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

    What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

    Thank you

  • cannot change the date and time in the system restore

    How can I change the date and time in the system restore? When I try to create a new restore point, I can't change the date and time, the system automatically date and time in.

    System Restore will always set the date and time of any restore point created at the effective date and time of the machine.

    If you want to restore your computer to a date and an hour earlier, you must select restore from a restore point that was created at the earlier time.  This article explains how.

    With the help of the Windows Vista system restore
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    My apologies if I misunderstood your question.  Why should change you the date and time when a restore point was created?  The only possibility of achieving a fictitious date and time will result in a change as actual date and time Windows or in the Bios, either option with unforeseen consequences.

    Photoshop (or other previously installed applications) can still be opened by double click on a PSD, or finding the individual executable, but even in this case, CC does not appear in the system tray.  So, cannot use cloud or add other applications, etc.

  • NOT READING DVD-ROM and replaced by ghosts DVD drive drivers

    I have an ACER Aspire 5520 laptop with WINDOWS VISTA... and before I continue, let me say that I have been a loyal user of Windows for many years... BUT WHAT ME LOST MY MIND NEVER LOVE! Everything in FACT RANDOM, my DVD/RW has stopped working. First he did on my Windows XP PC and I thought, well, maybe it's 6 years old, time to upgrade. BUT now its happened on my laptop. I was watching a DVD at 8 o'clock in the morning. I go to sleep, wake up, DVD players do not work. I have a multitude of technical knowledge so I did everything that a person can do without breaking the system or files or material damage. There is no error and more it can not find any material to burn or play CDs or DVDs. CODES NOT... and the reason is the following:

    MY LAPTOP HAS A DVD GHOST ON IT. It is not the real player... I have no idea why it is installed, but it is. The drivers are the SAME ones my car needs.

    I have a

    HL-Hitachi-LG GSA - T20N (AARK104) Super multi DVD Rewriter SN/708HP090709

    The computer tells me that it is a:

    HIF 3GMNC96ZWX2 SCSI CD-ROM drive

    WHY is happening. Why is this drive here? Come to think of it, he's always been there, but he never asked me no problem. Never had to worry about this, because I thought it was a drive partioned... but come to think of it, why would you need to support removable partion.

    YES, community of microsoft, I don't want to seem rude here, or be a thorn in the pants of someone, but this is absolute BULL. There is no drivers on the Acer site. NONE on the HP website. NONE on the website microsoft and you guessed it, NONE on the LG site... _, they do not even have the product on the site AT ALL! It is absolutely stupid. There are MILLIONS of us who use these products and help these companies and all THE of THEM do not give enough of fools who are we actually do things that WORK... and I've been faithful to Microsoft. I guarantee to update, and the representative of the customer couldn't help me... especially because she couldn't understand me, but it is another question. Someone please, please help me. How can I make this computer re - recognize this drive and how to prevent this from happening? Thank YOU for your time. I will be greatly appreciated. I wish I could pay you, but I spent only 49.99 for assistance from a representative, who got only to uninstall, reboot and reset... AS I had no FACT THAT 9million times before... Sorry, just angry and purge. :)

  • Replace HARD drive and then reloading the system op.

    Have a desktop hp a6518f with a bad hdd.  If I replace the original hdd with 500 MB (1-1, 5 to) one, backup/restore disks, that I did install work to recharge the system op (Vista Home Premium)?  Y at - it any other way, other than buy & install Win 7/8?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Restore to a larger HARD drive is not a problem if the machine accepts more HARD drive. In this case, unless the BIOS plays with her, nothing would stop you to restore your computer using your backup/restore disc.

    Kind regards.

  • my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?

    My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc.

    2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
    3. what program did you use to create a backup?
    4. do you get an error code or error message?

  • Is there a process or program that I can use to restore the system and configuration of the system to the original

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that could help me restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. is not the restoration of the system. I don't know of retoring my computer to an earlier time, nor on the restoration of computer purchase. 

    I thought that my computer has been compromised in some way, and the intruder was accessing my unit via some sort of connection distance.

    I received the support of the malicious software company, and I think that my computer is fine now.

    And so the question with which I opened this post: I would like to know if there is a Microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that would help me to restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. I'm not taling about system restore. I speak not of retoring my computer to an earlier time.

    Whenever I start to notice the strange behaviour of my computer, I would like to launch this program and follow this procedure to reset all the settings and files to a suitable State. The reason why run alone to detect malware problems, and that if there is remote access to my computer inadvertently, the intruder can do a lot of editing of files which is not identified by the malware. and I believe that if I was able to run a program like this, all the changes took place, which expose my device, but the rules of behavior systems can be reversed for a proper state.

    I read an article on how to repair my operating system, but it forced me to get a copy of it; However, given that the supplied operating system with preinstalled on this computer, I could not follow the instructions. Article I read to all system and configuration files that meet the standards of the manufacturer, without losing files and installed programs.
