  This response does not answer your question immediately. Just my suggestion for an alternative...

  You lose a lot of time and money ventually, using DVD.

  Less than $100 you will get a very good external hard drive, and you can make a backup of files into it.

  In the long term, it is less expensive than the purchase of DVDs and a pain to store.

  Samsung also recommend OnTrack Disk Diagnostic. You can make a bootable floppy to advise data with this:

• Printer/scanner and CD/DVD drive do not communicate with my computer.

  My printer/scanner and CD/DVD drive do not communicate with the computer.  A message reads: command line compiler Visual c# has stopped working. All the drivers for my devices are updated and current. Exclamation points are noted in these devices in Device Manager. This seems to be a registry or a motherboard problem. While in the Device Manager, I clicked and uninstalled devices and then restarted the computer, hoping that the pilots would be automatically reinstalled correctly. It did not work, and nothing has changed. I've never had a problem like this before. Any suggestions?

  Problem has been resolved by removing the UpperFilters registry key.  Both the old and new readers are working properly. Thanks for the help and time.

• How to disable the USB port and change DVD drive to read-only?

  I have upgraded my Vista Home Premium from window to window 7 Ultimatum. I tried to disable the USB port and and change the configuration of DVD room to read only via the bios, but I wasn't able to do. The bios always the same, whether it was when I had vista.

  I wonder if the operating system upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate trigger necessarily upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of the Windows 7?

  Thank you

  * original title - upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate necessarily triggers upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of window 7? *

  rThen your question isn't specific to Windows 7, you must consult the manufacturer. You should be able to disable the USB via the BIOS ports. Also, why do you want to set the optical drive as read only? If it is shared? If so, the advanced sharing disk properties, from there, you can set permissions on the drive.

• Missing DVD drive Aspire 5733Z

  I have an Aspire 5733Z with a DVD from Toshiba burner in it.  Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  It just stopped working when I started my diet this morning.  The keyboard and the trackpad had stopped working as well.  I used the F8 screen to restore to last good configuration.  It restored the keyboard and trackpad.  But my DVD burner does not work now.  I had before, used to run a live Linux CD and find the post on the forum who advised on the edge of good configuration was last used.

  But as I was closing the live LINUX CD, he told me to remove the media from the drive and close it, as I did, then click on system restart, I did.  Once I got into Windows, keyboard and trackpad worked again, but now my DVD drive was not.  I did a google search and went to a Microsoft forum (you are bound to get good advice it right?) ) and I followed their instructions to go into the registry and remove a couple of values - carefully followed the instructions, so I know I have done this correctly.  That did not work.  Then I followed their next step if this does not work, even if I did wrong I think.  Rather than remove the driver, I deleted the DVD in the Panel.

  When I realized what I did, I used the control panel to detect changes on the hardware and it reinstalled a driver of the engraver DVD Toshiba but I'm not sure that he reinstalled the right one.  He installed one for a Toshiba DVD-RAM burner, I don't think that this model supports RAM, so it's probably the wrong driver.

  Can someone point me to the correct driver to install? Maybe help me to understand this mess? Understand why the DVD does not work?  Windows it is grateful, but the door does not open.  You can press the button on the door will not open.  Right-click on the DVD drive in my computer, and in the context menu you can click on eject - will not open.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  If anyone has this problem, try to reinstall your chipset drivers and remove the DVD drive and reinstall.  One or other of these things fixes this problem for me.

  Hello

  You install a version of Win 7 retail or OEM manufacturer on your system?

  I had the same problem. The fix was to get into the BIOS and change the RAID SATA emulation.

  Doing so allowed installation of Win 7 to continue and install.

• Vista Home and Quickbooks

  QuickBooks works on an older XP Pro machine but do not work with Vista Home OS. Cannot save new work with it and can not send information to Quickbooks.  It won't save new work added to Quickbooks to the thumb drive either. Internet and electronic mail works with Vista Home out of Quickbooks App. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Quickbooks records, but it won't always work.
