ONE OF THE OPTICAL READERS READING DISCS 2

I am running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. I'm having a problem getting one of my optical drives recently added to read discs. The engraver of CD - RW LG GCE - 8525-B, (set as slave), will read audio discs but nothing else. The master disc will load and play discs very well. Do not forget that the problematic drive worked in another system, a few days ago, and so I do believe that it is a mechanical problem.  Windows 7 has found and installed the drivers, and the name of the device appears in Device Manager. I also do a Windows repair install, that does not resolve the issue. Here are some features that can help:

  • The two drives are connected with a 40 wires IDE Ribbon.
  • Work drive is set to master. DMA2.
  • Problem LG GCE - 8525-B is set to slave. UDMA 2.
  • The reader will turn very quickly and is still on for a long time before giving up.
  • My motherboard is an Asus P5LD2.

I decided to replace the drive with a DVD - RW drive, which solved the problem. The previous reader works fine in another computer now. Thanks for all your help!

  • Drive on which Windows XP to reside is always labeled as a system drive. How can I make one of the other disks that has Vista or 7 that the new system?

    Change the system drive

    I'll try to explain my situation better than I can.

    My situation is that when I used to have XP installed, I had installed the only drive I had back then which is now the drive D, for a long time, so I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit installed on two different discs, Vista is installed on drive C and 7 is installed on drive E , but I don't have XP that I had managed to get rid of it.

    My problem is that the drive on which Windows XP to reside has always left this disc marked as system in the disk management window, and I was wondering how to do that one of the other readers who has Vista or 7 that the new system?

    I already managed to change the startup disk from drive where Vista is installed to, it's just that I need to change the disk that is marked as system to another drive, such as D drive begins to show signs that it comes at the end of his life and I would like to move the startup folder as well as the other files needed to start on the other.

    I assume that you installed Windows XP 1, then Vista, 7 (these 2 OS not in order)?

    And Vista and 7 was by all means upgrade installation?

    Since originally, that you have installed Windows XP on drive D, it should be marked as 'system' and retains so the tag 'system '.

    The volume of the 'system' should be identified as the first primary partition active. It may or may not have the files it contains.

    The fact that the system considers "system drive" does not mean that there are files that it contains.

    Now, you want to delete the existing volume and create a new volume. Needs to be done outside the facility.
    When you start the cd or DVD to start the installation list us readers, if you remove the volume the volume drive letter is already booked, so you get the next available drive letter, do not re-use the deleted volume drive letter.

    If he removed during installation and then recreated as a new volume (formatting does not remove the volume, you need to delete the volume and recreate it)

    Try to format the XP partition and change the drive letter.

  • Vista 64 Bit Home Premium does not start when a disc is in the optical drive

    I tried to understand this for a long time, but I thought I might as well ask for help.  I use Vista 64 - bit Home Edition Premium and the problem I have is that I cannot restart my machine if a disc is in the optical drive. Specifically, if I have a DVD or Bluray disc in the optical drive (IE a BD - ROM drive). When I restart my computer and a disk is present, the startup process is going past the initial windows screen, but that's how far it goes. My desktop (I don't have a password to connect). Initially, I thought it was a matter of priority to boot but the boot process starts from the hard drive but stops at half way through. Then, I went into the BIOS and removed the optical drive completely from the boot priority list.  But there is no change in behavior. The process stops with the only thing visible on the splash screen is a black screen and the hard drive light flashes and goes out from time to time.  I use this computer as my Home Theater PC and sometimes I have to restart my machine when a movie DVD or a Bluray movie is in the optical drive. I would appreciate any response that can help me solve this problem...

    Thanks in advance...

    There may be something wrong with the files on your hard disk.  We will try to update to see if it helps:

    Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (I believe you need a disc for Installation of Vista to do that, even if some Installtion OEM disc might work, but probably not all the recovery discs).

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·        c:

    ·        Boot CD

    ·        BCD attrib s h - r

    ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    If this does not work, or if you do not have the disk, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that works and does everything well.  Make sure what you are doing or you could mess up your boot files and you'd be in a lot of trouble.

    I don't know if the problem is even caused by startup files (but it is possible if it is not the BIOS), but you'd better check and if the procedures are followed to the letter as stated there is no harm in trying.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Problems with DVD + R DL disc in the optical drive T500

    Hi - This is a W7 T500 running (2242CTO) / 64 - I downloaded the last Roxio Creator Business Edition and was able to burn a 4.5 GB file to a DVD + R DL disc using its function as data disc, no problem.   After burning, I closed Roxio and inserted the DVD into the player trying to read the content and after training, spun, I saw him briefly the [good] record label (in Windows Explorer), then the reader has become powered off State (Device Manager reports the drive has been "prepared to remove safely').   He turns to eject the tray or by right-clicking and selecting "lit.  It don't turn on even if I physically the disc to eject and reinsert.

    Other formats, CD - R, CD - RW, DVD - R and DVD - RW seem to work well.

    I have to reboot the machine to get the disc back and everything by restarting in this State, W7 is suspended in the shutdown process and I have to force a shutdown with the power button (I had no stop blocking otherwise).

    BTW, the drive is a carpet * beep * a dvd - ram UJ862A, pb04 firmware revision.   I am actively info on this drive and this firmware, meanwhile if anyone has any ideas they would be more than welcome.   Thank you!

    (PS: I tried to put "Mat * beep * one ' in the field 'Tags' of this message and got an error on the word's * t' is not allowed in this community!)

    Suspect bad media - can read brand DVD + R DL but not generics I bought...  Case closed for now.

  • TOSHIBA Power Saver software is turn off the optical disc drive, and I'm unable to re - turn on the power.

    Original title:

    Aloha!

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio x 775-3dv78 running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.
    Similar to another old post here, I have an intermittent problem where the Toshiba Power Saver software is off the ODD (a Matshita UJ240EF - BD - RE) and I am unable to turn on the power.  To put the ODD back on, it's a matter of restarting (sometimes several times) until the STRANGE somehow turns on.
    Sometimes, when I do a hot or cold boot, a window opens asking me if I want Toshiba Power Saving technology to turn ON the ODD.
    I click 'Yes', but the drive remains switched off.
    I also try to use function - same key controls... The STRANGE remains turned off.
    Here are the "best":
    As described in the former post office, inside the Windows power settings, there is a slot layout titled "TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings v8.9.9.64".
    In this context, normally there is ONLY a framework for 'cooling method.  BUT only when the ODD is disabled, a second parameter appears to "Optical Drive Power".
    Change that on ONE for battery and plugged in fact NONE no difference... The STRANGE remains OFF!
    Toshiba support is of no help.  Their answer to this problem is to run a 'Mr Fixit' which I discovered just unrecognized devices and then removes the upper and lower filters for the reader.  This "difficulty" might work from time to time... when it does, the ODD is somehow transformed into a 'removable' instead of one device ATA device.
    But then in a few days, the STRANGE turns off again.
    Something different maybe notable, I found after that I continued services and the related process, programs is that the version number on the Toshiba modules show "8.9.6" - not the "8.9.9.64" in the window Power Options.
    And before you ask (LOL!) what's happening on a soft reinstallation of the operating system by the media of recovery Toshiba with all Windows 7 updates applied.
    While I'm waiting for a possible response, I'll do the following:
    Uninstall and reinstall all THE software Toshiba provided duty with the STRANGE (energy saving, combustion, players, etc.)
    I will also shoot material part and make sure that the STRANGE is well inserted in the connector (IDE?) and that the connector is firmly attached to the motherboard.
    IF who does things, I'll update this message and inform you all.
    Otherwise, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Mahalo!

  • Qosmio G50 - 10J: how to replace the optical disc drive (ODD)?

    Hello

    the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 does not work properly, it reads only some movie-DVD, but unfortunately not videogameDVDs at all, so I can't install any games.
    The guarantee is also outdated. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the disk myself, if it is then how I had to do and if by the laptop would be in
    risk to get damaged?

    I would be very grateful for each tip and all the help guys can give me!

    Best regards
    a.z.

    Hello

    In various cases the ODD replacement is very delicate.

    If you wish, you can consult this forum category.
    Here you will find some videos how to replace the ODD on the different laptop models:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/Forums/Forum.jspa?forumid=115

    This is also a nice Youtube Channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:
    http://www.YouTube.com/user/toshibaeuropesupport

    But the ODD laser lens may be dirty. In my case I could solve similar problem, cleaning the lens of the laser by using a cotton ball and alcohol tip.
    But make sure that this!

  • Qosmio F60 - BD DVD Player read DVD only if the theme is one of the aero themes

    I found that DVD Toshiba BD player will play only DVD if the windows theme is one of the aero themes.

    Personally I do not use aero.

    Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

    I can play the DVD using other software.
    The main attraction of using the Toshiba Software is it is the function of upconversion.

    Thank you.

    Hello hicham.

    This means that you use the DVD from Toshiba drive, but you can t without Aero theme Blu - ray game discs?

    In this case, I would recommend the DVD Player update. Just check for an update from Toshiba Web site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Have you tested other players? Toshiba DVD player in my opinion is not important. I use VLC media player because he can play audio and video files more! :)

  • How to remove the disc from the optical drive

    Had to change hard drive on MacBook Pro - had tried to use Drive Genius to fix an old - not good - now have a new HD in there with no OS - now have a disc in the drive I can not eject so I can load OSX of a disc and eith no OS can not download oe ElCapitan Yosemite. How can I get this drive?

    It doesn't have an operating system to work, just the firmware. If he tries always to start (for example, the startup chime), turn the power off, press and hold the trackpad in the down position, then press the power switch. That force - eject anything in the optical drive.

  • Binary read with one of the many possible definitions - or - how ot loop over different groups?

    Hi all

    I have a group of different data types that I save as a binary file and read it again at a later date with an another VI. I saved the definiton of cluster with a typedef, so I am sure that I use the same type of reading and writing.

    Now, I needed to change the cluster in the writing program should include another value. However, I still want to be able to use the VI of reading to read the old and new data files. I also have the opportunity to change the definition of binary file in the future (in VI writing) and be able to quickly adapt the VI to read the new definition while maintaining compatibility with the old.

    My plan was to have a typedef of the pole for each revision, say v1.ctl, v2.ctl, v3.ctl...

    Suppose I have a binary input file that has been saved using one of these typedefs but I don't know which. I now open the file and try to read its binary contents with each of my typedefs for data type and to stop once the reading of the binary VI gives no error. Then I would translate this cluster to the definition of cluster current version by wiring through existing values and assigning values of model / default for variables that are not on the binary file.

    My idea on how this could work is described here, with three versions of filetype:

    For each new version of filetype I would need a new business structure although the content of the business structures is almost identical.

    Because I save the file type definition version in my files, I could even simplify and use a separate case structure to update the data and fill in the dummy data:

    Now the error structures are completely identical, only their inputs differ by type. How can I work around this? How can I loop over the typedefs from different cluster effectively?

    I use LabView 2012 SP1.

    Since you already have a version of the cluster, just read this byte digital itself and then use a case structure date back to before the version and read the entire cluster based on whatever the version of the type definition read you.

  • Can the Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB MP3 read podcasts one after the other

    For health reasons, I need to take a long walk after each meal.  For many years during my walks that I listened to podcasts on my wonderful old Sandisk sansa, who plays a podcast after the other without action from me until I have stop.  It's perfect here in the North when I walk in 30 below zero weather. I mean that I don't want to open my parka and out the player to move to the next podcast.  If I had to do, they would find me lying in the snow, Frost, like all the rest of those poor Devils who bought the wrong MP3 player.  Anyway, after years of using the plug-in on my old Sansa fuze is pretty much exhausted and the player must be replaced.  I buy a sansa clip, but had to return when I discovered that he has not played podcasts one after the other, automatically. (And it's also too small for my needs).  Before you buy a new 4 GB sansa fuse, so I need to know if this greatest player will play my podcasts consecutively and one after the other.  Your advice would be much appreciated.

    There is an e250 (2 GB) and a rocket. They are 2 totally different players. The "rocket" (original) replaced the e200 series model.

    But if your podcasts are placed in the Podcast folder (or even record Audio books) and then ranked in the same "Album" folder, they must play consecutively without stopping, regardless of the model of reader.
