    Hi Robert,.

    Thanks for the screenshot of your system information.

    As you can see in the screenshot, on the right side, the Description indicates that this is a CD-ROM drive, it means that it's a player-CD (Read Only Memory) which can only read the discs, but cannot write data to the disk. You may need to replace it with a CD/DVD burner drive for read/write drives.

    Hope this information is useful. If you have any additional questions on the issue, please post back, we will be happy to help you.

  • Problem copying to DVD-R and error... Please insert a disc or NO driver found

    Hello:

    I used 10 Roxio with Sony DVD-R for a copy of a sports game I have,

    In detail as follows:

    When one put an original DVD which contains sports-game, he's fine, but when I put a brand new Sony DVD - R for the copy of this DVD game, he said:... Not found disk or NO driver found, although there is a legitimate new Sony-DVD-R I bought this morning of typical products. I tried another DVD - R, about 5 more to do the job, but it's the same thing.  Does not copy.

    I am using"Roxio 10" and works well with another CD - R, DVD-R, even to copy music and Sport related programs.

    Ask me how to fix this?  Because I need to send it to my friend tomorrow.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This has happened

    A few times a week

    is after update of Firefox 3.6.4

    I have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.6 except that it also consumes massive amounts of CPU during the race. This version also adds a new process on your system. I am running XP and in the beginning I tried to disable some plug-ins. Always consumed too much memory. I went back to version 3.6 and the new process went, and the CPU consumption is way down. Something is wrong with the latest version of Firefox, I never saw behave this way. Revert to a previous version (Filehippo) and you will see the difference.

    When this disk is listed in your device manager and you view the properties give any particular error as code 39 or code 10 code? Article below may help determine what the issue might be or helping to solve completely.

  • How to change the product ID of Windows 7, when you put the disc in the other PC

    I PC_1 with an SSD and a valid license of Windows 7 OEM (HP).  I want to put this SSD in a new, more powerful PC_2.  PC_2 holds a valid license of Windows 7 OEM (Packard Bell).

    My thoughts are:

    1 use Double driver to make a backup of all the PC_2 drivers.  Use ABR Activation Backup and Restore to save the certificate key and activation license for W7 on PC_2

    2 put the SSD in PC_2 and change the license key and activation of the certificate (it has the PC_1 keys/certificates) to the PC_2 keys/certificates

    3. install missing drivers to disk backup Double.

    The problem is How to change the key/certificate in step 2?

    Of course I could rebuild W7 on the SSD and give him the key to license PC_2 for the reconstruction, but that would mean reinstall all my other programs that I prefer not to do so.  I downloaded and still have, a copy of W7 iso website digitalrivers if this can help.

    Thank you

    Put the SSD from PC 1, PC 2 and startup, update drivers, and change it to the product key located on the certificate of authenticity.

    As long as they are running the same edition should not be a problem.

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click on the link 'change product key '.

    Enter the product key located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. Click next to activate via the Internet.

  • I put to level my hp CDDVDW SU-208BB in car... how high is the drive?

    Hi, I have a laptop HP Envy M4. Windows operating system.  My hard drive is out.  It's a Hp CDDVDW SU 208BB.  I'm looking to get into Blu Ray burner.  I already upgraded my 16 GB RAM and hard drive to a hybrid disc, i.e. verrrry fast.  A friend who is into computers told my laptop speed demon now could easily manipulate a Blu - Ray burner... My only problem, is that lead to go with.  I have two that I love... we are 12.7 mm in height, the other is 9.5 mm in height.  It is Panasonic and the other is LG.  I just need to know the height of the original drive.  I tried to find it online, but it seems to be a secret, no one can tell me.  Can anyone here help me out?  I don't want to pay for this info... worst I order one or the other, and if it does not fit, I will send it back.  Waste of time and patience.  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

    I think that the size is 12.5 mm. Readers of 9.5 mm may be suitable for smooth or ultrabooks I guess...
