Ports SATA 8700 XPS 2/3/4 not seeing not added Blu - Ray burners

I bought an XPS-8700 (16 GB of RAM / HD 2 TB) at Costco online and received on Friday.

Until it happens, I had ordered three items for this:

Plextor PX-256M5M mSATA SSD

LG WH14NS40 Blu - Ray burner

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (not a fan o0f Windows 8)

I installed the SSD drive and it works fine.

I then installed the LG Blu - Ray into the slot ODD1 engraver and connected the cable to the SATA 2 port. After starting the system, I was a little surprised to not see Adding Blu - Ray burner.

I tried then reverse SATA cables will ODD0 and ODD1. Now, the LG Blu - Ray burner is there, but not the DVD recorder provided. I reversed the wires without modification in present readers think that the new SATA cable could be bad.

Then I tried to connect the added drive SATA 4 and SATA 3 with no luck.

From what I can tell, the new burner LG Blu - Ray and SATA cable are both fine in their work when it is connected to the SATA 1.

The DVD/CD burner, nor added Blu - Ray burners work on SATA 2 ports, 3 or 4.

I guess (and we all where that leads) that the second optical drive is supported as the two upper bays are labeled ODD0 and ODD1.

Any ideas as to what is needed to get the XPS-8700 to recognize a CURIOUS on 2-4 SATA ports?

Thanks in advance,

Ed

Even though I know that this Post goes back to August 2012, today's date is January 20, 2014... I thought that I would say because I have to bought a XPS8700 and he received just 3 days ago.

After installing a 2nd HDD internal who were executed in my Dell XPS420 (OS Win7)... when I first started my XPS8700 running Windows8... Windows has not seen the 2nd internal HARD drive.  I could see the 2nd HDD wooden (like this poster)... but not in Windows.  He did not appear in the 'Computer', the Manager of devices or disk management.

Read this Posters comment, I really thought I had a XPS8700 with a bad motherboard since the poster wrote the 2nd XPS8700, he got... its added reader has been detected by Windows... However, in my case... it was not the result.

I contacted Dell and arrangements were made to have a technology specialist call me.  I explained what I did to include moving the DVD installed Dell, which has been seen by Win8... from motherboard Port 1 to Port 2 (where I had connected the 2 internal)... and Windows does not see the DVD drive.  He confirmed that he would be the Port of the motherboard.  In settings Dell prior WOOD under Win7... you had to get into WOOD and turn on each SATA motherboard and OFF connections... I could not find in the WOOD of XPS8700.

The final document; the Dell specialist had me go back into the WOODS... had me click each tab in the WOODS... it was obvious that he was looking for a framework he hoped that should correct the problem.  Tab START of WOODS, he had me stressed "Secure Boot"... which was displayed as ACTIVE, click ENTER and change for disabled in the Popup window, use exit F10 WOOD and SAVE the settings.

XPS8700 seemed to take a long time to start for Win8... it just seemed slow, I thought that now things are really foires... I can't even start to Win8.  But when she took what seemed like forever, nothing better than just watching a blank screen, when it finally starts screen Win8 tiles and I opened the 2nd HHD 'Computer', I installed was displayed and I managed to get it... write to her...

From what I have studied the COURSE wood is set to "ENABLED"... and it blocks Ports to the motherboard, so that if another device is connected that has an operating system installed the PC will not see it.  If this is true, why wouldn't not Dell communicate this?  Better yet, how many users would connect another device with a BONE... why not the XPS8700 of ship with the SECURITY setting set to DISBALED?  How many people encounter this same problem said their mother was bad... and Dell paid to replace them, worse still, returned their XPS8700...?

I will add, it took a few reboots after that setting has been changed to DISABLED before my XPS8700 started upward and as quickly as he did before the change in closing...

A mere 3 second difficulty... to a very complicated problem... Hope this helps the other faced with this question

  • PowerDVD will not play Blu - ray

    Dell Studio XPS 8100. Drive Blu - ray. PowerDVD came with the system.

    Well, I just bought my first Blu - ray disc. And now it will not play. PowerDVD tells me to update the software. Then I do. I restart the software. PowerDVD still tells me to update the software. Then I do. I restart the software. PowerDVD still tells me to update the software. And yet again, I do.

    And then PowerDVD will not even run at all. It crashes. I can't get anything.

    No problem, I tell myself. I will contact all the customer support.

    JAL out of luck - unless I want to pay.

    Wait a minute. I paid for the software, when I bought the system. I'm waiting for the software to work.

    I have updated the firmware of the player and for my graphics card. I jumped through all the hoops. And yet, PowerDVD crashes before I can do something with it.

    So what am I supposed to do? Why won't work PowerDVD?

    I see that this is not an unusual problem with the software. However, I still have to find a solution. Can someone help me?

    Hello

    First of all, if you still wish to reinstall HP MediaSmart DVD, the latest installer can be downloaded from the following link.

    HP MediaSmart DVD.

    However, the issue of the update with MediaSmart DVD is well known, so I would really say that replacement by the version of HP from Cyberlinks PowerDVD 10 that seems to be a much better solution. You can install this software as follows.

    First, download the latest installer for this on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder and double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Hi, Bob:

    Have you installed the required playback blu - ray software?

    If you did, then I don't know why the drive can't read the blue ray discs.

    If you do not, please try this software.

  • upgrade to windows 8.1 now my blu ray will not play blu - ray movies

    I have a Studio XPS 435 t/9000 with an amd radeon r9 200 series graphics card and the hard drive is a PLDS DH - 6E2S 6 X HH SATA multiformat DVD-RW/BD-ROM. and I have cyberlink power dvd 14 ultra. all suggest how to get my computer to read blu ray update firmware of the dells site doesn't seem to work on windows 8.1.

    When you insert a blu - ray disc, open Explorer and click on the optical drive and tell me if you are able to read the contents of the disc. If you are, then the drive is fine but you need an application to read any blu ray movies. If you can not read the contents of disc, I suggest Dell diagnostics running on the drive with a blu - ray disc in the drive and perform the test of READING.

  • P70-A-11R satellite will not play Blu - ray movies

    My recently purchased P70 - A is good (great actually!) in all respects, except it won't play Blu - ray movies.
    I have not tried burning a disc again. The DVDs are very well using the Toshiba Blu - Ray disc player software.

    Help advise do not run other applications when you look at the Blu - ray and is not the problem.
    The supplied reader software version is: v 1.0.5.175 and I can't find any more recent version.
    I put the player to region B, for discs from UK.

    Symptoms: The player will launch a window on insertion of a disc but then hang indicating it's playing a chapter for a period of 30 seconds (warning copyright?) but there is no picture or audio and commands do nothing, with only Labor icon eject disc.

    I tried 4 different discs well known and they all have the same result.

    Anyone got any ideas to try?

  • BDP-N460 plays not universal Blu - ray

    Has not been able to get some Blu - ray titles to play before previews. Discovered that they were universal at all. Found on another forum that everything I had to do was clear existing comics, data on the USB plugged in the back, and the problem has been resolved. Initially, I unplugged the USB but found that erase BD was the simplest solution. (BD data is accessible in the video menu loading no BD - Rom)

    Hello

  • Qosmio X 500-116 will not play blue-ray discs

    Hello world

    bit of a newbie on laptops but my Qosmio dvd player won't play Blu - ray movies using the "Toshiba DVD Player", although it will play normal DVD movies no problem. I use the wrong software? search through programs pre-installed, I as ' nt seem to find those related to playback of a blue-ray disc! Or the problem would be something to do with not having the correct drivers? The laptop can read BD - RE drive, and I can look at the files but when I try and play movies Blue-ray using "Toshiba DVD player" he either says "application not found" or "launcher from DVD Toshiba cannot detect Toshiba DVD Player.

  • HP TouchSmart DVD plays not new Blu - Ray

    Computer: HP Pavilion e9250t

    OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    I'm playing a Blu - ray (Dexter season 6) most recent title thanks to the program "HP TouchSmart DVD", and it does not work. He asks me if I want to check for an update of the software when I try to read the disc. In the past when this has happened, the update allowed me to read the disc, but I seem to already have the latest version of the software (4.1.5122). He can't find the updates, and I found no updates through manual searches on the internet.

    I can still play other Blu - ray discs. Scott Pilgrim just jumped in, and it worked fine.

    Y at - it a newer version of the software out there? Or do I have to wait longer for an update? I guess the other possibility is that the drive is faulty, but based on my story with this question, I would say that the obsolete software is a more likely cause.

    Does anyone have information on this? Anyone with similar problems? Thank you.
