Using the CD/DVD drive on an iMac used as secondary display

I'm buying a new iMac and use my current iMac as a second screen.  My current iMac has a CD/DVD player and I am curious to know if I can visualize and burn on this drive, even if this computer will be set up as a secondary screen... Thank you

It is not that it is possible. Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

  • Equium L20: How to use the recovery CD if the CD/DVD drive is faulty?

    Hello

    I have an Equium L20 at the mo and unfortunately the CD/DVD drive is damaged and is no longer works (I can't even open the drawer), and I can't start up.

    Of course, I can't start the recovery CD is if there is another solution? I tried to create a bootable USB but I can't make it work, whenever I ask the bios to run it it runs as if it is a hard drive and says "operating system not found '. I reached the end of my train of thought so any help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hi Tom

    You want to use your laptop with defective CD/DVD drive all the time? Why you don't want to trade the player and all your problems will be gone. The drive cannot be expensive and I am sure that you can exchange it only.

    No mention of this in my computer.
    No icon.

    The light flashes in orange on the door. The drive is listed as "Mat * advd-ram uj - 841 s-(sm)" in the bios under boot devices.

    It is really a problem unless I can unplug physically the Mo and reconnect: 0 (Oh wait here it... is under 'cdrom' folder ' but only files with a relevance to the side by side with windows installation are mentioned... exe files, wubi etc..)

    Ah ok that's beyond my experience.
    Can someone give this amateur a tip?

    First remove the player of ODD (CD/DVD) from the list in Device Manager.
    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ FAT32\ CurrentControlSet \ Control\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Finally, you must restart the device.

    Hello

    I was burning and watch DVDs on my Satellite A200 - 1 VP, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks.

    Suddenly, there is a problem, no response when I insert a disc and my divx player says me no recorder found.

    Hello

    You will need a compatible CD/DVD player.
    Not all readers are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    ODD, that uses wrong settings will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    You can buy a compatible player to a Toshiba ASP in your country.
    You can also consult your user manual.
    In my manual, I could find some information on the compatible sides

    I have a problem with my DVD writer! I use Nero and if I burn MP3 CD or DVD .avi files happens whenever an error based on the drive. No detail!
    But on the CD are the opder of 1/2 3/4 data!

    Can someone help me? Or I have to contact Toshiba, I guarantee!

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Have you checked the site factory of Nero for an update? Maybe it s just a software problem that the burning procedure fails.
    In addition, you can try another burning program. A few days ago, I tested CD BurnerXP and I was very surprised! It s a freeware program and it also contains a large number of functions that it s worth a try! ;)

    Here in the forum I noticed that the dismantling of the upper and lower filters can often solve problems with the CD/DVD drive to check of workaround from Microsoft:

  • After dismantling Satellite A60 cannot detect the CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I opened my laptop to clean-up and it was the first time that I never opened a laptop. Messed up at the opening of the cd/dvd drive.
    Instead of just pulling out, I started its opening screw but quickly realized that this is not the right way. So I took it out. Rest of the disassembly procedure went well and I assembled it back but he little silver r 2 bands and a small source, which I'm sure that belongs to the CD player and I couldn't adapt it.
    And I don't know how it fits.
    The computer does not detect the drive. Although I can open it by clicking on the Open button, then he hang out by sharp object. (The light will blink showing the power exists in)

  • have a lenovo G570 computer and recently lost the cd/dvd drive. What can I do to reinstall?

    The cd/dvd drive used to work properly. Now when I put a cd or dvd, it will not engage or start. I can hear him enter and try to start.
    When you click on my computer, the drive does not appear.
    Don't know how it disappeared. Could be that some Windows Update? or when I installed the new kaspersky (do not think that it was really a cause)
    Not a Moody person so don't know what else to do. I did go back and do a restore, but that did not help.
    Given that the drive does not work I can not use the original disk, I created when I got the computer. Computer is about 2 years old... maybe a little less.

    Oh, the only other possible cause I can think of is when I was wrong with my browser and load my att yahoo account. A representative of ATT spocked in my computer and worked behind the scenes to fix. Has they deleted my firefox and temporary files. Unfortunately I do not know exactly when I lost the cd/dvd drive. At this time, but I can't say for sure.

    Let me know if there is something other information that you may need to help solve the problem. Thank you!

    Try to scan your computer with RadarSync to find out if your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver is out of date or not. You can go for the free version. Once find you that it's really an outdated driver can cause the problem, then you can update the driver by searching in Google it or let the software do it for you.

  • How can I get the utility auditor of system files (SFC) in Windows XP to search for the source files on a CD in a CD/DVD EXTERNAL drive instead of the CD/DVD drive internal Windows?

    I use a Dell Dimension E310 PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition.  The CD/DVD drive has stopped recognizing CD long ago.  (He still recognizes DVD but not CD).  I use an external drive to CD/DVD of Asus.  I keep getting messages that Windows need to replace versions unrecognized some Windows file and asks me to insert my source CD into the CD/DVD drive.  I checked the MS Knowledge Base and got instructions on how to use the utility (SFC) System File Checker to replace the unrecognized Windows files.  I started the process and inserted the source of CD files (recovery CD provided by Dell with the PC when I bought it) in the drive of external CD/DVD, but the SFC would not recognize it it.  He just kept asking me to insert the CD of source files in the CD/DVD drive.  So I have to find a way to get the SFC utility to find files in the external CD/DVD drive source - or I have to take the PC to the Geek Squad, buy a new CD/DVD drive and get them to install it.  Would appreciate any help you can provide.

  • The CD/DVD drive in my laptop is missing or not detected by my Acer Aspire 4520?

    A while ago my laptop Acer fell and the CD/DVD drive pulled after its fall. I thought for sure that it was broken and my laptop. Fortunately it seems not that this was the case and after that put in does what it normally would, the green light would flash and it seemed to work again. However, I never thought not to test with a DVD or CD to see if it actually worked. Is that recently that I started to use CD for games and other and I found the driver to read the discs, but nothing happened thereafter.

    Well for some time now, I tried to find a solution to my problem. The driver seems to work, but when it comes to playing the discs it do anything more. Some of my other programs such as Windows Media Player saying that my laptop is missing the driver CD/DVD. I also went to the menu of F2 from the laptop to the startup and after looking around, I find that there is no entry for the CD/DVD drive and that the entry is empty. I'm not sure why my laptop can't detect the drive. I tried many things such as the Microsoft Fix It, but ends up giving me an error saying that some components are not well read or something similar to that.
    Any help is greatly appreciated and if there is anything that I can provide for any further help I will do it gladly.
    I should also mention that the CD/DVD does not appear in Device Manager.

    Hi Emmanuel,.

     
    It's a hardware problem, your CD/DVD drive is not detected by your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
     
    Method 1: Check if your CD/DVD drive is detected in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().

    IMPORTANT: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious 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.
     
    Method 2: Follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.
     
    You can also try to contact Acer support and check if it helps.

  • media in the CD/DVD drive is not readable HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM-GSA-H55L help!

    How can I fix it?

    Step 1: Please do all the below even if you did before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    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

    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.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
