• Can't restore Vista backup - backup zip files are not recognized, on external hard drive

  I backed up my files with Windows Backup, which divide into 200 MB zip files.  Now I am unable to restore the backup because it is not recognized when I try to use the backup to restore.  It's on an external hard drive and Windows for some reason any do not recognize.  I tried to move it to the desktop, but it is not always recognized as a backup.  I tried to use the advanced restore, windows recovery, and it won't work.  Must the file with the zip files be in a specific location on the disk so that it can be recognized, or should it be named something specific?  Please help me, I really need these files.

• Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

  Laptop is only a few months old.
  Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
  Tried Windows Update - does not help.
  Tried registry fix - does not help.

  Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
  The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

  Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Very strange what s
  Try this:

  Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
  If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

  You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

  Good luck my friend

• External DVD drive no longer recognized

  I have been using an external DVD drive for HP for years. About 2 months ago I finally exchanged my tragically old iMac for a recent model directly on the Apple Store and have been using the DVD player with it successfully. I do not use the everyday player, but I use it regularly.

  Last night, I put a DVD in the drive, and it worked fine. Later, I got another in the drive and nothing. The drive spins up and down constantly, but the Finder does not recognize anything. Any DVD doesn't appear in the sidebar or on the desktop, the DVD player application does not start. There is simply nothing.

  When it happened first, I removed the disc that would not play and put in the previous drive who previously worked. It worked again, so I leave the app, ejected Disc #1 and put the #2 drive in. #2 drive still does not work and has no other disk since. Not #1, not disk #2 disk, no disc worked. I tried to put in an old OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD just to see if the iMac would recognize it, but it's not.

  I tried to disconnect & reconnect the drive by connecting the drive directly to the iMac instead of in the USB hub, restarted the iMac with a DVD in the drive, etc., but nothing works. System Profiler recognizes not that the player is even when it has a disk in it and turning. Disk utility does not recognize anything.

  I did not perform any software updates or any setting between replace disc #1 Disc #2. Something that worked a minute literally stopped working and I have no idea why.

  While it is true that the DVD player can have mechanical problems, I don't think so and I have no way to test this because I don't have another computer I can plug the drive in. And really, it sounds like a software problem. The drive does not sound hard, or anything like that. I think that the drive reads discs, but the iMac just does not see any longer, so the reader just guard spinning up and down, waiting to be recognized.

  Apologies if other threads have taken into account this. I searched, but I have not found any matches.

  Please make a LANDAU and SMC reset by iMac SMC and PRAM reset and then test again.

• Satellite A660 - do not find external DVD drive

  Hey guys. Newbie displaying in total despair of and needing help! I posted in other forums without success. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.

  I can't get Windows 7 to find! When I plug in the USB cable, the ball comes up to say that it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then he falls. It is not listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in disk management or my devices, so it is not a case to change the drive letter - I can't find the drive to change. I also tried to find upper and lower settings in regedit. Could not find them so couldn't remove them as suggested in other posts of this nature.

  It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are very good. Its got to be a cause of problem of Windows 7 it comes very briefly. In the minute or 2 sound, I can't do anything with it. It crashes right although it will open and close. I've google it and can't find anything. Mainly of registry issues, but they did not help.

  Ive also connected to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works very well and all the cables are ok. Ive tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also disabled all the parameters of energy. All with no luck. And I also all Windows 7 update.

  This is exactly what happens to the power out of the Cabinet.

  1. I connect the USB cord then turn on the enclosure.
  2 - I quickly click Start, and I can see the DVD Rom E player beside my computer laptop dvd rom.
  3 - the green bar above starts to fill to the top, from left to right and gets to half way then suddenly disappears icon of DVD Rom and makes the green bar.
  4. He then flashes up in computers laptops DVD Rom icon with a player of Local E drive, but only for a fraction of a second.
  5. sometimes a balloon comes up saying peripheral installation, then the installed device successfully... but not every time.

  And that's all. I'm at a total loss and the cant work, so any help is really appreciated!

  Hi Smee,

  So if you have already connected the external hard drive on another computer, and it worked correctly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility between your external DVD drive problem and and your Satellite A660

  It will be connected to the port USB then you tried to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager? After that, you must restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized automatically from the Device Manager. In addition, I would also try updating the chipset driver. New version, which you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

  I have a problem, my dvd burner is not recognized by external programs such as Ace CD Burner or CdBurnerXP. I can burn DVDs and CDs in windows, but I want the added functionality of these external programs.

  I searched on the site of toshiba for updated drivers, but there are none, and Googling TSSTCORP CDDVDW Ts - l633P Ata Device (this is what is listed under my CD-ROM in Device Manager) gives no useful result.

  If it's any help the device type is listed as: Dvd/Cd Rom and manufacturer readers is (Standard CD-ROM drives)

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
  Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
  Press F12.

  Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

  In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Hello mike salinas.

  1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

  2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

  I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

  Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

  You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

  Thank you

  It's a little tricky because not apple USB drives do not work when booting the operating system, but it works if you read carefully. basically the process starts as usual, put the DVD in the DVD USB drive and start to Boot Camp, let to create the BootCamp partition, instead of restarting create a VM with the mapping of physical disk, begin the installation, restart Windows and finish using DVD USB.

  Here is the guide, a bit outdated but might help. Be sure just to what disk you format in the virtual machine, because you are working with the physical disk where you have installed OS X:

  Hello

  > * 1 *-I want to use in the car for playing DVDs in the back seat. Can I use the Toshiba external dvd drive?

  No, you can't attach an external CD/DVD drive to the AC100.
  The USB port supports the external USB HDD (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) and a memory flash USB (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) for copying data.

  > * 2-* is there a car charging/adapter plug or anything like that?
  Yes, google for cigarette lighter Thrive AT100. Otherwise, you can order part comatibel of ASP in your country.

  > * 3 *-my stereo bluetooth, USB and ipod has access to-what options there are to store & playing music on the Tablet via these

  Take a look in the Android market and search of HiFi Android app.
  But as far as I know if you want to stream music from tablet to sorrows, both must be connected to the same network.

  > * 4 *-wifi is possible? I already connected it to a wireless modem; would need a modem separated in the car?
  AT100 supports LAN wireless

• Dynadock U with USB powered external DVD drive

  Iomega superslim DVD 31785700 dvdrw8x-u
  ASUS U36J laptop Windows 7 64 bit
  latest updates for Windows and installed Dynadock

  Hi, this external DVD drive has 2 USB connectors (data and power) and no power supply.
  The dynadock has alternating current.
  When I connect the DVD directly to 2 USB ports on the laptop, it works.
  When I connect an external hard drive to the Dynadock USB powered it works
  When I connect the Iomega DVD drive to the dynadock, it doesn't work and I get an error message "power surge on hub port."

  I tested a second dynadock and DVD player (same model) and the same problem occurs.
  I also tested all of the USB ports on the dynadock, front and rear.
  I looked online for limitations on the dynadock, but found none.

  I look forward to any constructive suggestions or information.

  Hello micjam,

  the Iomega DVD drive also not functioning, it is linked to the dynadock?
  No mouse, keyboard or other usb devices?

  Have you tried plugging the dynadock to a different usb port on your computer?

  Perhaps there is an update of the bios available for your computer.
