8152 CD-ROM drive problems

I have 8152 52x speed drive, that's pain in the ass. Bigest problem of all is its reading of home recorded CDs
so i decide to flash it.
Cos it was 1.2 firmwre drive I dloadet apropriate firmware version 1.21
I booted into DOS mode & started the flashing proces, but smth went wrong, now i have dead drive not even try comes out...
After reading trough forums I got feeling that was my mistake, cos I flashed the drive wich was slave drive and master HDD was conencted also
and second i flashed with firmware residin on FAT32 partiton...
Is ther any hope 4 me to get that drive back to life or at least RMA it ?

Hello
I havnt tried it with only the cd-drive plugged in and i dont know what you mean by that
Try unplugging the IDE cable going to your new CD drive from any other CD drive on that cable. If it is not sharing the cable with any other drive, check it is plugged into the motherboard correctly and that the jumper is set to MASTER
i wouldnt know what to look in in the bios?
In the BIOS there is a list of all of the devices plugged into the IDE bus. (Primary hard drive should be first.) Check that your new CD drive appears in the list probably the first menu option i should imagine.
Hope this helps!!

CD ROM drive problem after upgrade to 10

Had Solaris 8, worked fine for years. Upgrade to 10 an now the CD rom drive does not work properly. When you put in ANY CD, it goes in, spins for about 30 seconds, then the door opens and stays open. No file manager windows open, I cannot access the drive. Happens in the CDE and Java desktops. When I put a CD in and go Application_Manager-System_Manager, Eject CD ROM in that 30 seconds the disc stays in, I get an error:
date-9/usr/dt/bin/dtexec) sh
cdrom0: no such file or directory
when I try mount cdrom0, get mount point cannot be determined.
I have other problems with the OS but to fix those, I need the CDROM drive!
Any suggestions?

svcadm enable smserver
and that started it right up. Since that worked, I
added the line to the /profile file so now it loads
upon logging onYou should only need to enter that line once, not every time you log in.
Also, I only saw that bug in an older solaris express build (pre-FCS). Are you using Solaris 10 FCS?

DVD\CD ROM driver problems

Windows 7 64-bit. I got a HP DVD A DH16AAL SCSI CdRom, and is saying a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality (code 32), how do i fix this

Hi,
With the optical drive connected, open windows Conyrol Panel, open Device Manager, open DVD/CD - ROM drives, right click on the DH16AAL and select Uninstall. When this process has completed, restart the PC and let Windows re-discover the Hardware and hopefully reload the driver.

Dual IDE CD-ROM drive problem

I just assembled my system using a K9A motherboard. My only hard drive is a SATA drive. I have a DVD-ROM and a DVD-RW on the IDE port (master and slave) Windows sees both drives, but Roxio won't see either. Also, if I try to flash the firmware on the DVD-Rom drive, it doesn't show up because it's configured by the system as pri-master, and the DVD-RW as pri-slave. I am thinking this is also Roxio's problem.
I may be a complete noob here, but is there something I have configured wrong? ATI chipset drivers are installed and updated.
Thanks!

I already did all available updates for Roxio 6 Platinum, which is what I have. I'll give Nero a shot.
What about the Firmware flash thing?
that should be last step. do not update it until you have tried all possibilities.
let we know the progress.

CD-rw/DVD rom drive problem

I am using IBM T43 type 1871 laptop. The problem is with my CD drive. It automatically ejects out every time it wants to.
The same won't happen if I put some CD in the drive. But the CD won't play properly as the system shows the autoplay often and in "my computer " the drive is shown blank for some time and after the autoplay the CD name would be given...
Is it the problem with software or hardware???
Can it be solved if I buy a new DVD drive or use an external??
Now I've removed the drive in order to evade this problem...
Please help me???

Hello,
I am assuming your ThinkPad T43 has a DVD±RW disc drive. Is that correct?
If so, can it read stamped (manufactured) CDs and DVDs? If it can, than the problem may be with reading the recordable CDs or DVDs that you are using. If not, than the problem could be a software one (i.e., related to the operating system) or a hardware one.
If you have a bootable CD or DVD, try configuring the ThinkPad to first boot from the DVD drive, and then attempt to boot from the disc. If that works, than you are likely dealing with a software problem. If the ThinkPad doesn't recognize the disc even at bootup, then the problem is likely with the DVD drive and it will need to be replaced.

Problem with CD ROM driver

HI,
My name is Divyeshkumar Aghera. I have HP Pavilion g6 series laptop with windows 7 homebasic genuine operating system.
I am having two problems with my laptop. May be those two are interlinked.
Problem number-1 :
When I go to option devices and printers in control panel, I see a caution mark sign (i.e. " ! ") in yellow tringle on CD ROM device icon. CD ROM name is "PWNI FK5QZSTQ SCSI CdRom Device". When I write click on the icon and choose troubleshoot option windows shows error showing message " There is a problem with the driver for A2VR14UR IDE controller. Reinstalling the driver might fix this problem". When I choose option apply this Fix, it shows an eoor stating " A2VR14UR IDE controller has a driver problem" and status "Not Fixed". Please help me to get the drivers for CDROM to for trouble shooting.
Problem number-2 :
I have made 1 out of 4 DVD of windows recovery successfully. But now when I insert blank DVD to make other DVDs, CD ROM automatically format the blank DVD after choosing option to create Normal CD/DVD or Create USB Flash DVD. Then on my computer screen DVD ROM icon displays the date when it got automatically formatted. And DVD Drive does not accept the Blank DVD which got formatted automatically after insertion and ejects it back saying that this DVD is not suitable to burn for Windows recovery Drive. I have lost 6 DVDs till date. But when we do normal burning of data then it allows to burn it normally. Blank DVD formatted automatically after insertion also occupies some space. If DVD has 3.68GB free sapce before format, After format it will show 3.67GB free out of 3.968 GB. Please help me out I am totally lost.

Hi
The Windows systems (no mater what Win system) use the standard Microsoft driver to control CD/DVD drive. The driver is part of the system and cannot be downloaded or installed separately.
This means that driver is already installed.
Do you see the CD/DVD drive in device manager? Is it marked with yellow exclamation mark?
In such case I recommend uninstalling the device from device manager (simply mark the device and click on uninstall driver or press delete).
Then go to registry and remove the upper and lower filters from following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control\Class \ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot.

Problems with my DVD/CD-ROM Drive (MS-8216)

I have a BIGGGG problem with my DVD/CD-ROM Drive (MS-8216)
I was copying somethin in my comp, and the cd got BOOOM into pieces inside.
My warranty expired 1 month ago, so i clean it in the inside. After this it is like this :
- i can watch 700mb movies AVI format with no problems, but when i want to copy anything in my comp from the cd it always stops rotating at 6% of copiyng and BANG it stops and an error has acourde. Same with the dvd's. Please don't ask me about my comp config couse i know it has no problem with that. I left every thing like it was inside --- impecable, no wiress unplugged and i've upgraded the firmware also
What can it be. Thank you

if you can read the CD, but not copy from it, try this program:
Isobuster
It allows you to read with a much better accuracy than the generic windows driver.
However, i'm afraid your drive has been damaged in the explosion and this is only a work around, not a real solution.
The good point is that DVD burner are now cheap, but it is not much...

BIOS Problems With CD\DVD Rom Drive. Not a Filter Problem

My Hp Laptop Was Messed up for a while with ramdom 2 sec restarts so i had a tech guy that i know and it was fixed. sadly after a few weeks my CD\DVD Rom drive quit working and was not (and still is) registered in Bios. i reset the BIOS Back to factory settings and had some luck. i worked fine but then when i woke up the next day i was gone again. i does do this often but im getting quite annoyed.. can someone help me with this issue.

Well, I now have the same symptoms as described in this discussion group. I'd put the CD in the superdrive for iTunes to burn, the computer accepts it, makes it's whirring noise (louder than a couple days ago), nothing comes on screen that says its able to read it, and around a minute or two it ejects the CD.
These larger 24inch iMacs are NOT the easiest to lug over to the Apple store, especially if taking mass transit! I have not found any solutions described here that works ...short of apple support.
I am a rather tidy and tech savvy person. No dirty CDs, no warped CDs, no inappropriate force to the drive, etc. Based on the number of similar postings, HAS APPLE ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS A DRIVE DEFECT YET?

Replacing CD rom drive in Hp pavilions a230n

I just rescued a Paviliona230n from a sad end. It was gutted of the good body parts, but I had an old Millenium that I could upgrade to XP or higher. I do need to put the two Cd-rom drives in and cannot figure out how to do it without removing the AMD processor and fan - something I am loath to do without instructions.
Are they clipped down and how do I unplug it safely so I can insert the CD rom drives.
I assume I would make the readable drive as the master (top) cable connection and the re-writeable one as the slave. OR???
I think I already overdid the memory bit as the machine seems to have a one GB memory and I put two of those in. Seems to be working.
Next I need to get drivers esp. for the ethernet connection.
Most important is the method to remove the AMD memory unit. I sure don't want to mess that up.
Just for interest: The hardrive with the Millenium OP system was flaky. I think it was the program, but when I tried to install XP as an "upgrade" (to save programs and files) it failed twice. Only when I did a full install did it work.
Next I will have to check the integrity of the drive itself and I doubt that my dbam (boot and nuke) wipe disk will work on it. It also does a fine job on checking the hard drive before you install anything. It was not recognized by Millenium.
TIA
If you have any plant questions I could repay your answer with please visit http://sequimplants.com/
I also have a google plus blog on plants. Plants were the beginning of this need to find a computer with a 3.5 inch floppy. Years ago I had a great program from Gardenware (over 250.00) to make labels. I made a 600 item library of my plants with descriptions.
Win 3.1 now. I can't even install it again as it is propriatory and it needs a unlock key that the company no longer has for old versions. Nothing else can read or open the floppy library backup ... so I downloaded a freefile viewer and hope it will work on it. Hopefully on the XP version. If not I will have to install a floppy drive on one of my Win 7 computers.
I found this to be beyond understanding. If you sell a car you are obligated to keep parts for it. I cannot see that this program developer cannot have kept the unlock codes for All older versions. Certainly does not make me want to buy their NEW version for 199.00.
If that freefile viewer doesn't pan out all I can do is get a mobile 3.5 floppy with a USB port and plug it into another Nurserymans computer to see if his new version can read it.

PowerMac G5 doesn't work anymore simply due to a DVD-ROM drive removal!

Hello, here's what's happened (I'll write using the "present" because I'm not English).
This happened about two days ago:
I need to read an Ultra ATA hard disk, so I power off the Mac.
I remove the SuperDrive DVD-ROM and I connect the hard disk in its place (I already made this with other ATA hard disks in past and it always was OK).
I close the Mac.
I try to start: nothing! The light on the power-on button of the Screen (Apple Cinema Display 20" plastic) and the light on the power-on button of the Mac case starts flashing 3 times (then stop, than other three times, etc...).
So I power off. I change the jumper configuration of the hard disk, like the Super Drive. I try again: NOTHING. Always three-times flashing the lights.
So I power off. I re-install the DVD drive, close the Mac again and restart it.
SURPRISE: the same symptom! The computer doesn't start and always makes the three-times flashing lights...
So I tried totally removing the DVD drive, and restarting it without it: nothing: same symptom.
Unfortunately I made these attempts forgetting to disconnect the power cable of the Mac!
Then I start trying with other RAM configurations, hoping that just a RAM module got burned. I have 6 ram modules (512 MB each).
I try lots of combinations... nothing, always same symptom.
Finally, I disconnect the power cord again, I re-install all the RAM modules, an I try to reset the CMOS: I remove the Motherboard battery for some seconds.
Than I re-install the battery, close the Mac, connect the power cord, restart it: it works!!!
I go in System Info, and I see that it doesn't recognize two of the 6 RAM modules: just 4. The slots of the other 2 not recognized DIMM modules seems empty, but there is the ram!
So I power off the Mac Again. I disconnect the power cord.
I change the RAM modules positions. I try again: nothing! Again the three-times flashing lights symptom, and always black screen again.
So I try again by removing the CMOS battery... nothing... always flashing...
After lots of attempts (also changing again the RAM positions, trying to remember how it was when it worked...)... nothing.
I power off the Mac.
After about an hour, I simply try to power on it... IT WORKED!!!
I used it too... went on Internet, etc... Finished working, I powered it off and went to bed.
The day after, I tried to power it on... nothing! Always three times flashing lights...
From that moment, it was totally impossible to let it work...
I tried to change the RAM positions again... I tried also pressing every time the reset button on the Mother Board... nothing...
The only different symptom that I obtained, a couple of times, was that the two lights (on the Screen button and on the Mac tower button) didn't flash, but was always on.... but it didn't run anyway: totally black screen.
How is this possible? Durin 18 years of computer hardware experience, NEVER happened that a computer got broken just removing and re-installing a DVD-ROM drive!
And I'd never imagined that removing a DVD-ROM could be a dangerous operation... It seems to me just like a car that got broken if I replace the cigarette lighter...
What do you think? how is this possible?
If the CPU or the Motherboard or the RAM too got broken... simply it NEVER should run... on the contrary two times it worked very well!... with a broken Motherboard or CPU??? ...mmmm... so strange....
If the RAM got broken... how is this possible? 6 ram modules burned together??? It seems so absurd... (in past there were 8 RAM modules... one or two got broken... so I removed them and it worked again... but not 6 !!!!).
Any opinion?
Any practical advice?
Prevision of costs?
Thank you!!!

Hi Wolfman I have an update of the situation.
We tried moving the RAM modules again... and at one point it worked! With just 2 RAM modules.
But at the green screen (with the gray apple darker) it blocked.
So we removed the two RAM modules and installed other two modules: it worked again! These two last modules are 512 MB each.
So we restarted the system pressing "c" with the OSX DVD in the drive, and it worked! I used System diagnostic OSX utility and it found the 2 ram modules, but of 256 MB each instead of 512 !!! How is this possible? (if they were broken OK, but detect just half of its size seems so strange...).
Than we restarted it again connecting an OSX bootable external Fire Wire LaCie hard disk (FW400 port), and it worked!
We used DISK UTILITY to test the internal boot hard disk and it gave me an error (verify disk).
The Disk utility was unable to repair the disk.
Another damage!
I remember that in the past attempts it booted once (not three times flashing) and stopped at the grey screen... (I think: maybe due to the boot hard disk error!).
Unfortunately this external bootable firewire disk has got some problem and it sometimes blocks itself emitting a "clic".
So I powered the mac off and connected another newer firewire lacie bootable hard disk. I connected it in the FW800 port. I rebooted and... surprise: three times flashing light again!!!
No way to let it pass this wall, no initial "sound" again... nothing!
So I removed the FW800 drive, and changed the RAM again (inverted them, always two internal slots n. 1 and 2): it worked!
I booted from the FW400 hard disk, and it worked. I was able to backup some data from the internal hard disk (in order to be able to try to solve the error initializing it), and I tried again to boot with the FW800 hard disk (I want a stable system while initializing a drive!).
As I connected the FW800 hard disk again, I tried to reboot... nothing! Again the three-times flashing light error! No sound... black screen again...
(So, simply removing a DVD ROM I got RAM broken, maybe the Logic board, the hard disk too... maybe the FireWire 800 port too.... mmmm.... this mac is possessed! And it is connected through a professional power stabilizer too!).
So after several attempts with RAM, cmos reset, firmware reset (power it up holding the power on button for some seconds), etc... I got it working again...
So this time I rebooted it pressing "c" and I initialized the internal hard disk using the OSX DVD as boot drive...
Then I rebooted from the FW400 hard disk and I used CarbonCopyCloner to restore an internal hard disk clone OSX complete installation from a .dmg image file in the FW800 lacie hard disk... but this time I connected it not using the FW800 port but through the USB 2.0 port... and it was able to copy the data.
The computer was working... able to boot... no three times flashing error... no FW800 connections... always rebooting OK... the internal hard disk initialized, working, with NO errors (disk utility tested), made bootable...
I tried to reboot again (with no "c" or "alt" pressing, hoping the internal boot hard disk working again): nothing!
THREE TIMES FLASHING LIGHT AGAIN!!! No way to solve the problem now... always flashing...
What is happening here??? I don't understand! I use computers (instable DOS/Windows computers mainly!!!) form about 18 years... never seen a so strange behaviour!!!
We'll try to gather money to replace the RAM, before thinking to a Logic Board replacement...
Your opinion?
Thanks!

Somehow my Dvd/cd rom drive was deleted. I have a compaq presario f700 notebook computer. I looked in drives and the bios and it is no longer listed. I went to HP website and can not find any wheres to redown load it. Does any one know how to get it back?
I am also having a problem with when I turn on my computer the screen is black it is booting up but I can not see anything. I shut it down and sometimes ttakes a few tries then it i can see the password screen.

With the iPod connected and allow use as disk drive checked, right click on the ipod icon on your desktop then change the drive letter of the iPod, say to P. Eject the iPod and disconnect it, reboot your computer and see if the drive is back.

Installed iTunes and my Laptop no longer recognises CD-ROM drive

I was given an iPod for Xmas, so I downloaded iTunes and installed it on my Laptop. When I opened iTunes for the first time, I got a message saying that I needed to reinstall iTunes if I wanted to burn CD's; that's fine I thought, as I don't burn many CD's and can use another application to do so. Problem is, when I go into "My Computer" my CD-ROM drive is no longer there and I can't use it play CD's or games. I had to do a system restore in order to get my CD-ROM drive back. I've tried installing iTunes 3 times now and exactly the same thing happens each time.
Obviously, I need my CD-ROM drive and I can't use my iPod without having iTunes installed on my Laptop. Does anyone know what could be causing my problem? Or any way around it? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
We have this problem also!!! The removal of Itunes and Quicktime certainly resolves the problem regarding installation but what's the point if you then can't use your CD drive. We also have a 30gb Ipod and are regretting our purchase. My daughter bought a Zune by Microsoft which is fantastic, used on a different computer... starting to think that we should have done the same.
CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM... APPEARS TO BE MORE AND MORE COMMON WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

CD-ROM won't eject CD / system doesn't recognize CD-ROM drive

Hi.
My CD-ROM recently ate a CD and now refuses to eject it. The CD does not show up on the desktop (is "unmounted"?) and resetting the PRAM and holding down the mouse and eject buttons on start-up have not been the solution to this problem.
I think the main issue is the system no longer reconizes the CD-ROM drive... so I'm unsure how to 1) eject the cd and 2) reinstall the CD-ROM But obviously I can't install without a CD-ROM drive...
Is there a driver I can download to get the drive working again? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
If the drive now longer shows up in ASAP, it's dead, or the power supply to it is dead.
You will need to manually eject the CD, by inserting a straightened paperclip through the small access hole located under the drive tray; it may be on the left, center or right side. Do this with the computer off.
New drives can be had for under $40 (DVD Burners) online, CD Burners are under $25.
For more info, You can read owner reviews @ xlr8yourmac's Drive Compatibility, just enter your system & choose a drive type.

CD ROM Drive has disappeared!!

I attempted to go through the steps posted here on how to get songs off your iPod back onto the music library on your PC (my laptop had crashed and I had to reload the operating software but didn't have a complete back-up of all my songs), and was unsuccessful. Now, in addition to that problem, my laptop is no longer reading the D: drive (CD ROM drive). It doesn't show up in Windows Explorer and when I put a CD in the drive it doesn't automatically start up as it did in the past. It's as if the D: drive no longer exists.
Anyone else encounter this problem and is there any fix other than reloading the operating software (which I just did and don't want to do again).
Thanks.

Just a quick link, don't know if it's the right thing:
(MS) CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19, Code 39, or Code 41 after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP
