Voodoo Envy 133 eSATA DVD not hotplugging

Well, I use often eSATA Voodoo DVD ROM but when I expect it to work well. When I insert the unit, I hear the first handshake, but the sound of confirmation handshake never comes. No recognition. I have to restart my laptop to recognize the drive. I tried to understand this for awhile and I'm coming up with nothing.

I don't think it's related eSATA because the laptop recognize my eSATA external HARD drive, no problem. I'm sure you can imagine how boring it is being forced to restart your just burning machine a DVD.

Halp?

To try to reverse engineer this thing, I removed my SSD ExpressCard drive, who lives a little in the slot. I think that I got it out twice in six months. I NEVER go out.

Lo' and behold, the DVD drive is detected only when the ExpressCard housing is empty. No reboot is necessary. Not really practical, but more than to restart the machine, I guess. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

  • Satellite P30-133 CD/DVD not recognized in Win XP

    A few months ago that the CD/DVD drive disappeared from windows XP home SP2
    It is visible in the list of the BIOS boot, but I'm not sure if it turns elsewhere in the bios.

    The BIOS also seems to be ad slowly started upward. I have reset the BIOS to default settings and the player was available for long enough to reinstall windows. Resttting the deafault BIOS does not work every time. Everything is now on the machine is a new installation of windows and the drive is not visible. Light on the DVD/CD drive flashes on startup every time, but it will not read a bootable disc.

    The disc was found in another machine and works fine. What is a BIOS problem or a motherboard problem.
    I am reluctant to spend huge sums of money on this laptop, as he already had a new motherboard a couple of years.

    Any help or advice appreciated.
    This isn't a problem that will be solved by the registry hack 'filter '.

    Have you tried a BIOS update?

    You reinstall Windows using the recovery disk? Or have you installed Street copy of XP?

    Try to boot from a Bootable CD, if it does not, then the motherboard may be faulty, or the drive has intermittent problems.

  • HP Envy 13 d045tu: could not start the Envy 13 d045tu

    Hey,.

    I just got my new HP Envy 13 d045tu and not even 1 week, I can't start.

    When I press the power button, it turns on for about 5 seconds then dies again. Absolutely Nothing appeared on the screen, not even a flicker.

    I have tried those doing hard reset stuff like by pressing the power button for 20 seconds, the power button / stop + mute all these and nothing do not seem to work? What should I do? Its only a few days old!

    It turns out that it is a manufacturing defect. Application of a new replacement unit (5 days only), technician says probably motherboard problem. Thanks anyway!

  • ENVY 750-129cb: new computer - DVD not opening

    Hello

    Just bought a HP Envy 750-129cb awesome computer - and internal DVD/CD RW drive does not, when the button is pressed (after the opening of the case of money - outside)

    HP DVD/CD RW drive

    Module # DV - 8465H, February 2016

    Provided with the computer

    I opened the computer and checked all cables, etc., everything looks good, but the DVD will not open.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thank you very much for the help - I really appreciate it.

    So, I bought a new graphics card - graphics of 750 Genforce GTX ti, as my old HP Elite had an AMD Radeon 6700, while I was trying to get an equivalent to him for my new HP Envy, since AMD card was not compatible with the motherboard.

    The 'tech' guy, said it would make a difference of 25% - the graphics card GTX AGAIN, that what came with the HP Envy 730 GT map - and especially good for photos.

    But, please let me know your thoughts. Don't you think it's a value-wile put this card in? Maybe I'd better return the card and put it toward a new laptop, since both of my laptops died at.

    Thank you once again, all the details would be really nice

  • HP envy 17 3d will not play a dvd

    I have a HP Envy 17 3D laptop and I played this movie specific about this before and it worked very well but now it won't play in Media Player using the and I am wonderign, if anyone knows of any solution.

    You must get rid of Daemon Tools. It is in conflict with HP Media Smart, use virtual Clone.

    Start by creating a manual Windows restore point before dong anything so you can at least get back to where you were.

    Then type "regedit" in the search with quotes box and navigate to the MSR file and note how you arrived there.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > MSR.

    Thirdly, go to Device Manager and find storage controllers and develop and that there should be at least one that says Daemon Tools or Duplexsecure.

    Fourthly, uninstall Daemon Tools, I think that their site is a special tool to uninstall correctly. Restart after uninstalling DT

    Now go back and repeat the second step and make sure that the reader of the MSR is missing, if this isn't the case, you will need to start in safe mode and do a right click to remove.

    Return to step three and ensure that there is no controller storage with these names thereon. Uninstall them if they are present and restart. If there is no virtual drives in Device Manager, remove those and reboot.

    Now go to the computer and make sure that there is no current virtual disk, there should be that a single device with removable storage, and which corresponds to your BD - ROM drive and in almost all cases, he is appointed 'E', but what is important is that be the first player in the devices with removable storage.

    Try your movie again.

    We may have to reinstall MS DVD, but it can work without having too much. If you need to reinstall it again, let me know that there is a procedure for this.

    Post again and send a PM with the link to that thread if you still have problems.

    Commodo Firewall also causes conflicts with MS DVD as well as AVG Anti Virus software.

  • HP Envy: compatible blank DVDs

    What high blank DVDs that are re-writeable storage capacity are compatible with the hp DVD A DH16AFSH DVD RW in my PC HP Envy # 700-406 model, product # J4W42AA #ABA? I need to copy / back up between a few hundred to several hundred concerts of files and folders on a secondary backup in addition to my external hard drive.

    Hello

    Compatibility with the media is generally a function of optical drive firmware.  If you are going to copy several hundred GB of files, then it will take a looooooooog time and a lot of disks.  If you had to say 800 GB of files to a standard 4.7 GB optical support, then do the math.  You might need close to 160 optical discs.

    You can use Imgburn to determine the capabilities of the optical drive for media types.

    I have an HP internal optical drive (not the same as yours) and I used the below listed optical media with a high success rate.

    Verbatim 8 x DVD + RW 4.7 GB rewritable

    In extenso 2 x rewritable DVD + RW 4.7 GB

    In verbatim 2 X BD - RE 25 GB rewritable

    If your drive can handle the BD-RE XLthen each disc would hold 100 GB but $ 60 for 5 disks you might want to consider something else for archival purposes.

    I suggest to go with another hard drive external to the archive files like optical media and drives also are endangered.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • HP ENVY 850se Phoenix: HP ENVY Phoenix 850 DVD Drive

    Hello

    I just bought two HP ENVY Phoenix 850se computers.  I would like to return the DVD drive on one of them, 180 degrees so the axis to the other sense.  I studied the material and can't really tell if it is possible.  It seems that the bezel for the reader includes a curved upper part if it complies with the case.  I can't determine if this piece is 'readable' or not, and I thought that I post and ask here before tearing into it.

    Thank you!

    For those who follow along, the DVD player can not be returned because the bezel attached only one way.
