  • ThinkPad Edge S430 - is possible to replace the hard drive with an ssd?

  • ThinkPad Edge S430 Sata 6 Gbit/s or 3 Gbps?

    Hello world

    I wonder if the internal SATA (not mSATA) port of the Thinkpad Edge S430 is a 6 Gbps port or 3 Gbps?

    Because internal 500 GB HDD is a Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500, which is normally a Sata 6 Gbps drive HARD, but said CrystalDiskInfo it only works in Sata 3 Gb/s modus.

    I know that the HARD drive is not fast enough to get out SATA 3 Gb/s max even when, but I want to replace by a SSD's SATA 6 GB/s HARD drive.

    So the question is why is the HARD drive works in SATA 3 gb/s modus. The jury only supports SATA 3 gb/s, or the OEM Version of the drive HARD Hitachi only does support SATA 3 gb/s?

    Has anyone replaced the HDD with a SSD already?

    Kind regards

    Bay drive HARD internal for S430 is 6 Gbps.

  • Satellite P305 - DVD drive missing registry method attempted

    My satellite P305 lost the DVD icon in my computer.

    So I tried to fix it by using the 'Register' method I have seen anywhere in the forums, but it didn't work as I have found a 'low' I don't think that the name but not the second registry value 'superior '. So now I can't use my PC DVD and I hope that I can reinstall the driver, although I doubt it.

    The computer Troubleshooter said the problem is that the registry file is damaged or missing (before I tried to fix it). I had been using a burner and burn a DVD that took a lot of time to complete the level of 99%, so I clicked to close the program thinking that the information was already coded on the DVD and there is nothing for the program to do but stop, but it did not work and the program have remained frozen. The program I used was called Cheetah Burner, in case you are interested in knowing. So I ejected the disk (perhaps after control-alt-delete, not sure) and probably restart the computer again, to see that the program had taken place.

    So please tell me how to deal with this, soon. I need to solve this young to continue working!

    Thank you

    Ash.

    Hey Ash,

    I think you mean the upper and lower filters in the registry. Is this fair?
    Normally, this should help about problems with the CD/DVD drive but you've already tried this?

    In your case, I would try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager (right click > uninstall). After the reboot the drive will be recognized again and maybe it works.
    In addition, you n t need another driver because it s a part of the operating system. Updated this driver peut t.

    Another interesting thin: you can boot from a disc?

  • CD/DVD drive missing (vista)

    This problem is getting ridiculous.  My CD/DVD drive has been appearing and disappearing in recent weeks power on and off.  I tried the deleting the upper and lower limits registry hack and it seemed to work once, but after a while the disc disappears again, sometimes after the mode 'sleep' and sometimes spontaneously.  Reset used to clear up the problem for a while, but now the drive seems definitely over.  I uninstalled iTunes and Nero, I have because they may have caused problems.  I can't use Device Manager, because the device is not listed, so no way to update the drivers.  I am now at the point where there is much more information that I found Microsoft or from other sources, if anyone has had this problem or knows something, I can try to get Vista to recognize the drive that I would be really grateful.  Thank you!

    After the foregoing:

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

    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    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.

    Hope these helps.

  • CD/DVD-drive missing when Windows 7 is installed.

    I installed Win 7 32 bits, with a cd - everything works fine.
    But the CD/DVD drive is missing from Device Manager.

    I did a Win 7 clean install and have installed all the drivers for the hardware (all from the manufacturer). I tried some things I mentioned forums, like the one to delete data in the registry. This didn t solve the problem. I even tried to install win 7 again (tried 64 bit as well).

    Can anyone help?

    Solved!  I think so.  I had the same problem - installed Windows 7 on my Zepto 6625WD and Windows 7 could not recognize my TSST SN-S082H DVD player, although everything worked again well under ubuntu.  After several days of intermittent Googling, I came across this fix , which (even if it's for Vista) resolved my problems in Windows 7 - the DVD player is now detected and works perfectly.

    Hope that helps...

  • Equium A200 - DVD drive missing

    Hello

    My Equium A200 is only 3 months old and the dvd player has "disappeared."
    It does not appear in my computer or Device Manager.

    The tray will also not stay closed... any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    The fact is that the CD/DVD drive doesn t need a special driver because the STRANGE simply uses them pilot which belongs to the Windows operating system.

    I think you should check if the CD/DVD drive functions. So how can I test?
    Well, you can try to boot from the Toshiba restore CD to check if the ODD is able to manage the CD.

    I think that whole OS installation is a drastic procedure, but I think he might back allows for the STRANGE.

    Good luck

  • ThinkPad L520 CD/DVD drive recognize or write to disks

    Hi all. I hope that as a beginner I'm posting in the right place and not on a topic already discussed. I had my L520 for over a year now and had not already need to burn stuff on the disc, so I don't know if my problem is new or old.

    Essentially the Player recognizes the disks when they are inserted and correctly displays the files already on the disc, but it gives space null regardless of the disc or the size of the existing file. In addition, if a blank disc is inserted it says that the disc cannot be read and try to put shaped. Pre-formatted standard discs, I use. Help, please.

    Written and finalised discs do not seem to have any capacity left, it's the way the system of files on the CD.

    Regarding the empty disks, they are just empty, not preformatted. It seems to me that you need an application of disc burning like Ashampoo Burning Studio free or CDBurnerXP, which are free for personal use...

    Hello

    To be honest, I don't understand. You are talking about the Cd/Dvd drive missing or Dvd Toshiba player?

    Anyway, try this:

    1. access to the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop and wait for the CD/DVD drive would appear once again

    or

    2 go to the page of the Toshiba driver and download dvd player
