USB 2.0 Slim Portable optical drive works only with Windows 8

Hello

I recently bought an external optical drive (USB slim portable optical drive;) DVD + RW/BLU-RAY disc). When I plugged in my lenovo with windows 8. the computer does not even recognize any device connected to it. The optical drive does even turn on. I don't know if it's a problem with the player or what he is.
I would apreciate for this assistance.

Hello

It is possible that the drive is faulty, but there may be a setting of conservation of power on your laptop, originally a problem as well...

If you go to Power Options... 'Change Plan settings' on the right in blue text... then 'Change advanced power' also in the blue text, you will get a window where you can change the default power settings.

You can temporarily disable or modify everything related to your USB...

You can also go to Device Manager... 'Bus USB controllers' and see if you can determine what Hub or your disk controller is attached to and temporarily disable power save...

Maybe it's that your computer does simply not provide enough power to the drive...

Can you pass the cables to different ports to see if that helps?

USB 3.0 ports supply more power, is that you have a...

You have all the gadgets AC adapter that power via a USB connector, you can try?

You could try a friends computer or something for a simple test...

When USB powered external drives first came out, there were many problems with insufficient availability. Even after the use of two Sockets USB problem remained to a lesser extent...

USB 3.0 has a higher power to try to resolve many of these issues.

    Just bought this as a backup device for Small Business Server 2008 running on Windows 2008 64-bit. However it does not? Are there drivers anywhere for this or it is simply not supported and I need to buy an alternative solution?

    Plugged into my laptop Windows 7 64 bit and no problems.

    Someone else had the same problem?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no other software by download.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba in the Options area but didn't find anything

    AFAIK it of a plug & play HARD drive if you n t need any software to recognize the HARD drive

    There may be a password.
    Try this:
    Connect your HARD drive to the computer when the HARD drive is working
    Select the CD drive with your browser (password)
    Run the ONSPCLCK.exe
    Select 'Options '.
    Select "Disable security password"
    Enter your current password
    Unplug the HARD drive
    connect the HARD drive

    Now, it will work, but with no password protection. Perhaps it would work

  • SENTINEL HASP KEYS 3.25 WORKS ONLY WITH WINDOWS 7

    I lived several of these posts here about the hasp and windows keys 7 and I tried many suggested fixes, but nothing works. I installed the software using Windows XP Mode in Virtual PC, I've updated, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled with and without the hasp key inserted. I use the Sigmanest V4, Mastercam9, and Mastercam10 software. All three of these programs worked fine with Windows XP service Pack 3. I did everything that I mentioned above and some of which you try to run the software in compatibility mode. Nothing I try works, Sigmanest software seems like it is recognizing the hasp key because it will be open, but it will not open in demo mode. The two programs Mastercam do not even recognize the hasp key. They open up and say that there is no present hasp key, then close. After years that Windows 7 has been out someone got a solution for this. Maybe they have, but I can't?

    Hello Chad,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    According to the description of your problem, it seems that you are trying to install the drivers for the Sentinel 3.25 HASP key. I checked the official site, it shows drivers for Windows, but did not mention the version of Windows.

    Here is the link: http://sentinelcustomer.safenet-inc.com/sentineldownloads/?s=&c=End+User&p=HASP+HL&o=Windows&t=Runtime+%26+Device+Driver&l=all#.

    I also checked this device and software Center of Microsoft Compatibility, and I couldn't find any information out there in that regard. So I suggest you to contact technical support SENITEL for troubleshooting further because they are the best people who can say that this device is compatible with Windows 7 or not.

    Hope this information is useful. Do get back to us after contacting them and please update your question on the forum.

    Thank you.

  • DeskJet 722C works only with Windows 7

    OK, so I applied the DJ_Patch as described. (See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/Deskjet-710-720-810-820-100-Series-prin... ) I have Windows 7, 64-bit and a HP Deskjet 722 C printer.  Tried to print the test page, but received the error from the printer.  Tried to add a printer, you are looking for the 722C, but it is not on the list, even tried to do Windows Update to search for my printer.   Tried to restart, which did not work or the other.  Still get error printer.  I appreciate any other suggestions.  BTW, the printer is connected via a USB to parallel port cable.

    My HP Deskjet 722C now works!  I spent several hours trying different things only to find out it was the cable use to connect the printer to our new computer.  He is there not a lot of info on the package of cable but if you watched closely he said it worked only with Win XP, me and Vista.  Who would have thought that the cable wasn't working with some BONE... me!  Once we went and bought a new cable ($40, Ouch!), we were running a few minutes.  I don't know that a cheaper cable is available online.

    I wanted to post this in the hope of saving someone money, time and frustration on the other.

Uninstall KIS and it works quite well. I already read on another forum that someone of another encounter the same problem with the same combination of products.

    Your chance.  After a week of research I found someone who has thought about it.  Apparently his self-defense of Kaspersky which is causing the problem.  Under options disable control external sevice disable.  For me, that did the trick.  If it does not for you also try to disable self-defense under both options.  Once I did it was moving smooth again.

  • TOSHIBA external drive works only with Macbook

    Hello

    The question is: is this just a problem of USB connection or maybe the HARD drive starts to crime

    I mean, early or late each HARD drive is going to die, and it's just a matter of time and usage of HARD drive

    I recommend you to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer just to check if it will recognize

    My internal card reader is not recognized by Windows 7.  I have uninstalled and installed the drivers of many times without effect.  When I installed the drivers from the website of manufacturers or automatically by Windows, it is not recognized.  After installing it manually through the Device Manager, it is now recognized, but returns the error: this device cannot start.

  • Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive works only with the MacBook Pro - Solution?

    I recently bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB Solid State Drive for mid 2012 MacBook Pro father. The computer was working properly, but it was just very slow. I took the old drive and installed the SSD. I took it to an Apple store so that they could install the OS. A guy at the Genius Bar met with me and first tried to install the OS via the Ethernet cable. It is impossible to install some general error. He then tried to install it on a disc. Which also failed. He said he was not familiar with the type of error that he saw. But he said it was a mistake 'bad '. He said he saw the SSD for my SATA cable worked. He concluded that the reader must be defective. I explained how it is virtually impossible because they have a rate of close to zero. He said: "well they are produced en masse" and explained how they could install a hard drive themselves for some too expensive price. A bit annoying.

    In any case, I took the SSD back to my house and threw it in my desktop PC. It works very well. Then what should I do? Why am I not able to get the SSD to install it? From what I read, the Samsung 850 EVO should be compatible with a MacBook Pro 2012. Can I do to install it at home? Is that all I can say people at the Mac store to help them along?

    Most likely, the drive is formatted for use with Windows computers. First step would be to format correctly for Macs.

    This is Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition map.

    OS X will only be installed on a properly formatted disk.

  • Touchscreen driver works only under Windows 8

    Install Windows 8 on HP Touchsmart 520 is really a nightmare. Usually, the display driver installation procedure and Voltron Touchscreen product error 9998 drivers. Oddly, I managed to somehow work around this by using a different display driver (some beta-version of Intel), but it was buggy. Since the reinstallation of Win 8 I can't to install more touch screen driver. Given that the Touchsmart series sells on its touchscreen capabilities and given the fact that HP relies on the Microsoft OS is not only slightly irritating that HP has so far not been able to provide drivers of devices that work well with Win 8 Release Preview. What solution do you offer me? Wait? Back to Win 7?

    The pilot (Nextwindow Voltron Touchscreen) updates automatically after the installation of Win 8 RTM when you only run Windows Update routine. At least in my case it did, and it works fine.

  • Help! AE3000 adapter works only with Windows 7

    Hello, I have a desktop Gateway with Windows 7 installed on it. I recently bought the adapter Linksys AE3000

    get internet for it, but whenever I have it plug in, the light comes not now or anything like that. I tried the CD as well and it is said that

    the adapter is not detected. I've tried different usb in the port itself and they worked perfectly, I also tried the

    adapter on another computer and it worked perfecftly.

    I downloaded the correct driver for it and installed it on my computer, but when I try to update, it says: "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error when trying to install."  The adapter is displayed in the Device Manager and everything, but it just won't work little matter what I do, I could do to fix it?

    I had the same problem. If you reinstall Windows, the connected device and choose install drivers, having them ready on USB key, cd or diskette, the ae3000 will work when you plug it in after the installation. If you already have some winders installed 7 delete and remove all the drivers for the ae3000 then restart in safe mode by pressing F8 during the restart. Mine doesn't let me do this for a reason, so I me in SafeMode with power off then turn it back on it gives you the possibility to go in safe mode. Manually install the drivers, Rebooot and they work. These two methods have always worked for me. Good luck.

  • Intel Wimax 5350 works only with windows 7/t400

    As someone who uses the Server 2008 on my desktop, when I received my t400 a few days ago I hesitated at the idea of using vista.  so I decided to download and install windows 7 64-bit (Vista 32 bit... I did an install own good... I think).  I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the drivers wireless in windows 7 and, indeed, intel States on their site that windows 7 will automatically install the drivers for the card 5350 wireless.

    Unfortunately, during the installation of windows 7 was complete the drivers were not installed and I don't have access to the internet.  I therefore had to take my Office Wireless usb adapter, then plug it to access the internet.  Windows Update has not fixed the problem.  so I installed the visa of intel 64-bit drivers and windows told me that my wimax device has been recognized, the drivers have been installed, etc.

    except the wireless card still does not work!  He is currently under listening network cards as area network/2 connection cable unplugged/intel wimax link 5350.  I do not understand... should not it listed as being a wireless network connect as is my usb adapter?

    I think that the problem might be that in Device Manager, I don't have a driver for the controller network, serial port pci or pci simple communications controller.

    It is quite frustrating and I really regret not putting more thought in this installation of windows 7.

    Thanks for the help
