• Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

  Description of the problem:

  Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

  Steps to recreate:

  UEFI:

  1. Start the PC in diagnosis system UEFI (F2 at the STATION)
  2. Pane controls
  3. Optical drive
  4. Sequential control
  5. Error: Optical drive not installed.

  8.1 Windows (x 64):

  1. Run Device Manager
  2. Error: No CD/DVD Drives section.
  3. Search for new hardware changes nothing.

  Relevant system specs:

  Mobile: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (construction of vanilla)

  Optical drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n

  Steps already taken to solve:

  • Replaced the DVD drive with one of the similar specs of HP Pavilion. The replaced gn70n perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD player works, and there is no problems with Windows 8.1 (x 64).
  • Removed DVD player. Restarted the computer. Sign in to Windows. Stop. Replace the DVD drive. Start the laptop. This is trying to solve defects of material with the PnP devices; more help to solve any problems of intermittent loose connection. Conclusion: No change.
  • Ran, troubleshooting of hardware and devices, via the control panel. Problem found: material changes may not have been detected. Explore more options just takes you through http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, that it is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Help and Support Windows is sorely lacking. They show no more information than just that something was detected as incorrect.
  • Ran the Microsoft FixIt troubleshooting of optical disc and auto repairman. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The convenience store has reported that the device was not found. He recommended to remove all power cables, power off, and various other things which have no relevance for computer laptop troubleshooting of switching equipment. He said: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows troubleshooting can not solve the problem.
  • Run Windows Update to ensure that all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is perfectly up to date.
  • Run a complete Rootkit and malware using Sbybot S & D 2.3 heuristic analysis. as a signature database scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.

  Notes:

  The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

  The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

  There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

  The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

  The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.

• How to stop notification of power of the optical drive?

  How to stop the power of optical drive: on / off the startup in msconfig because I have no idea of what the process is called so so I can't stop it?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest, I don't know what you mean exactly.
  Can you post a screenshot or tell us what program you mean exactly?
  In addition, the exact model laptop with OS preinstalled number would be interesting.

  In general all start up programs, you can disable in msconfig. You can also see the program directory where it s installed.

  Hello

  You can buy a brand new for less than $50 or $80 with BluRay. It's a little more expensive for an external drive. I bought a pioneer of externally for $149 with BD burner because I don't use office. Please use the following manuals for your repair work:

• Precision T5810 two DVD drives, how can I change that used to boot from at the start of the optical drive

  My T5819 of accuracy came with two DVD-RW drives, a thin line 8 x, HL-DT-ST DVD + - RW GTA0N SCSI CdRom Device, the other a full size 16 x PLDS DVD + - RW DH - 16AES SCSI CdRom Device.

  To start from a CD bootable (e.g. Acronis image recovery disk) at the present time, it's the drive slimline (E:\) is seen from the trunk once optical drive menu start. I would prefer that it if it was a (currently F\ :).) What should I do to get the disks exchanged in the system (so the reader 16 x becomes E\: and I can start, and control of thin line becomes F\ :)?) Is it simply a matter of reconciliation where they are plugged, or y at - it a bios option (or both?)

  JR-

  Guess the permutation of the cables can be that you are the only other choice. Restart, and then press F2 to open the BIOS Setup. Copy down all current settings, just to be sure.

  Power then off, unplug and press/hold power button for about 15 seconds before opening the case.

  If these are SATA optical drives and reached the data cables, do not bother exchange of berries. Just swap the cables. If they are IDE drives connected to the same wide ribbon cable, you will need to Exchange in the drive bays. That you want to create a primer must be connected to the end of the slick IDE and other intermediate connector.

  Once that is done, remove the battery from the motherboard and the press/hold power button for about 30 sec force the BIOS to check the material after reinstalling the battery. Then reboot normally from the HARD disk.

  If you get errors booting from the HARD disk, restart again and press F2 to go into BIOS again. Make sure that all the BIOS settings match what you wrote down or change to match. Save the changes and exit the installation program.

  Assuming everything works now, try to boot from one that corresponds to your favorite optical drive.

  You may need to check again drive letter assignments in Windows Management Console once it works the way you want.

  Or just learn to live with it like that...

• End of 2011 MBP El Capitan Windows 7 Boot Camp without optical drive internal (LOSING MY MIND, Please HELP)

  What I have:

  • Original disc Windows 7 Pro from Microsoft as to
  • Downloaded ISO exact copy of Microsoft as well if need be
  • DVD player Samsung external optics
  • USB drive (s)

  What I don't have:

  • Optical drive internal and original; the Bay is empty.
  • Patience to use VM and WinClone and all that BS.

  Sorry for the harsh tone, but I'm losing my mind edition .plists and restart a hundred times a day. erasure of the USB drives when all this used to work years ago.

  I was sure it was possible to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2011 delay, an external optical drive. I not even asking to use a USB key.

  Why do I have all official records of Microsoft and a USB/DVD drive, but am forced to use an other intern, that is broken for like 90 percent of Mac owners.

  I see a black screen with a cursor on startup or a black screen saying no boot device... After using Boot Camp Assistant. I tried to not use the wizard and make a Fat32 partition on my USB on and implemented to date, but this method failed as well for some reason any illogical.

  Please help me or at least explain certain restrictions that I can never get about in what concerns my machine and Boot Camp.

  Thank you!

  Can you extract the the Samsung SATA connector and connect to the SATA internal optical drive connector?

  The EFI on your Mac version works partially with a USB Flash drive, but the file info.plist mounting is required. The VM/Winclone method also works.

• Available to add the second internal hard drive to 17-e117dx

  Hello

  Can you let me know, if there is provision to add the second internal hard drive for HP Pavilion e117dx 17.

  If so, one) is there requirments or the specifications of the hard disk (any make or model); (b) what equipment will be needed and where I can get to and c) Finally will be doing so make sure the warranty of my laptop HP Sub

  HP Pavilion

  Product: F9J38UA #ABA

  Model: 17-e117dx

  Thank you

  Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.
