Replace the DVD RW Drive (Sftware)

Hi I have a m8013w desktop pc. I have lightscribe. My DVD drive has failed and I ordered a new one that comes with the lightscribe software. My question is that I have to use the software installation disc which will come with the new drive or am I ready for departure without having to reinstall the software. I have now. I'm on the other procedure like uninstall in Device Manager and replacing the drive. I'm not sure how my software would be affected and the purpose of the disk that is shipped if I have lightscribe. Or are there other things on the installation disc. It is not mentioned in the instructions. Thank you.

Keith

You don't need to do anything about this either except to replace the DVD drive... do not worry about the installation of new software or uninstalling the driver from Device Manager.

  • M30 - 107 - replace the DVD - RW drive?

    I replace the DVD - RW drive in my laptop. I was wondering if someone could tell me the steps that would be involved in it, or else where I might be able to find this information.

    Thank you!

    Hi Philippe,.

    Feliks is altogether correct with his comments about your request. Because the device is "fixed" in your notebook will invalidate you your warranty if you replace yourself.

    However, as with most laptops, CD/RW can be removed if you really want to. It is normally split into place and then fixed by one or two screws. For example, my A30 is secired by a single accessible screw from the base of the laptop. I don't know about the model M30 you need so you will need to check where it is attached.

    Once the screws are released, the unit can be slipped out of its slot.

    You should then be able to find the label on the device and this will tell you the serial number and model.

    If you are replaceing with a similar device, then you will probably have to remove the plastic frame and cut panels and mounting brackets and adapt them to the new unit.

    Replace the unit and the re - fix it with the screws and the work is done then.

    You can, of course, replace your device with another (Toshibe notebooks) do use several different, but there is no guarantee that you new unit will work properly without having to install new drivers for it.

  • Satellite L500D - replacing the DVD - RW drive

    I have a model of Satellite L500D PSL T6A-015003. (portable)

    Recently I placed a CD in the DVD RW drive and the CD did not play.

    When I removed the CD, the disc of black Center that keep the CD etc up to were broken on the disk. The black disc was stuck in the CD I pulled out and a small piece and spring also fell out.

    Can I get a replacement black Center disk or do I have to buy a replacement DVD RW drive. If I have to buy a replacement drive, can someone please tell me where I can buy one, I'm in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

    I have a few details to the reader, these are:

    HL data storage
    Super multi DVD re writer
    Model GT20N (7 7 ATAK)
    Serial number BOCRGTB831062

    I appreciate any help on this

    In my opinion, you should buy another ODD and of course identical. You have any important data on this piece of hardware so use Google and check if you can find an online store in your country where you can order.
    In the worst cases contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask if they can order it for you.

  • Satellite Pro M70, Possible replace the DVD - RW drive?

    I thought that in the future come lightscribe Slim DVD - RW. Is it possible to remove the build - in the disc that came with the computer, with a slim-line DVD - RW. I think the connection, it is standard on all readers optical slim for laptops, or is it IDE/SATA or something like that?

    Hi whc

    Physically, it is possible to remove all parts of the laptop. On your device should not be a problem at all. The problem is the compatibility of the player.

    Each car will not work (can not recognized correctly) on each laptop Toshiba and, in my opinion, you should check the compatibility of the player by the service partner before buying one of them. Your unit is a mobile most recent with fantastic super multi DL drive. As James said, wait and you'll see if Toshiba will be those and also compatible drivers for your device.

  • Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

    Virgin, excused my English ;)
    I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
    0203: failure IDE #2
    Is it possible to remove this message?

    Hello

    As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

    In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

    And now I recently saw on a website that there are these caddy that can be used to replace the DVD rom for extra HDD or SSD.

    My laptop has a DVD. It is held by a screw in the back. DVD rom doesn't have a SATA connector, but some small connector and SATA, I don't know his name.

    The CD/DVD drive can be replaced easily
    The CD/DVD drive is fixed with the screw hidden under the memory module cover.

    You will need to first remove the memory slot cover the GET access to this screw.
    Remove the screw fixing the optical drive module, then use your hand to push the CD/DVD drive and then drag the STRANGE Bay.

  • Power mac g4 does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  It has worked very well in Leapard

    I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

    What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

    Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

    I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

    If you put another type of disc in the optical drive, as a music CD, it is recognized?

  • Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

    I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

    The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

    Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

    + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.

  • Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

    Hello
    I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
    So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

    And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
    Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

    Thank you for your answer

    Hello

    It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

    I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
    More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
    I think that this is not supported
    Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

  • Laptop HP G60t-500 - cannot find the DVD burner driver

    Hello

    I upgraded my laptop G60t-500 for Windows 8.  I had to reinstall some of the drivers in compatibility mode and overall, it works ok (thumping audio does not work, but I get audio with USB speakers) However, I just noticed that the DVD RW drive does not.  In Device Manager, the hp DVDRAM GT20L reports the following error message:

    Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    {Unable to load device driver}
    HS device driver could not be loaded.
    Error status is 0 x %x

    I was looking on the site of HP support pilot for the original drivers for the DVD RW drive but can't seem to find them.  I found the HP DVD Play software and I was wondering if it needs to be reinstalled.  Or I have to look elsewhere for the device driver?  Or should I uninstall and leave the machine to find the driver.

    As a record, when I right click on the device in Device Manager and select "Update driver software", select the option to let the computer find the right driver, he again reports the correct driver is installed.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Thank you, Vidya.  I had to reboot and now my machine 'sees' the DVD player and it's working (I tested it using a DVD for playback and serious files).
