865PE BIOS can't see DVD drive

Hi Folks,
I'm having trouble getting my BIOS to see my DVD burner so I can boot from it (It doesn't show up as one of the boot choice options). This IDE drive is connected to my PCI Maxtor/Promise Ultra 133 TX2 IDE controller. I do have 3 IDE and 2 SATA harddrives connected, and all 5 of those devices are available as a boot choice, just not the DVD drive.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated :)

dont think that has a bios in the sense you mean like a raid card
it has one tells it about drive settting it senses as a drives connected
but not like a raid card were control plus f gets you in its own bios
just hook it the dvd up to the boards ide
and put another none boot drive on the promise

Re: Satellite A200-209 - Windows 7 can't see DVD Drive

Hey
Ive reinstalled my PC (again) from Windows 7 to Windows 7 and some time after i got this problem.
My DVD Drive is "unseenable" by Windows and it cannot read any disks.
I think its something about drivers, but i cant find any DVD driver :P

Hi
Your message is a little bit confusing.
You mean the CD/DVD drive is not visible in MY Computer?
In such case Ive got a solution for you.
In most cases its upper & lower filter issue.
You would be able to solve this by deleting the drive from the device manager and to remove the upper and lower filters from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Can mac's DVD-drive be accessible for Windows-based systems?

I've tried to share mac's DVD-drive to PC and it's failed.
I know there is the option in Sharing menu, but it doesn't work.
So someone has an idea about the issue?
Here my steps to share DVD-drive to PC:
- select Sharing menu in System preference;
- turn on DVD or CD sharing;
- set "Ask me before allowing others..." check box;

You can share the DVD drive however it sounds like Windows may not have a DVD sharing feature like OS X has. I would recommend also asking in a MS Windows forum to see if your version of Windows offers that feature. Please carefully read:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777?viewlocale=en_US
You will see Remote Disc is designed for OS X machines to access DVD/CD drives on other OS X or Windows machines. It is NOT designed for MS Windows machines to access the DVD drive on an OS X machine.

Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

Hi All
I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Adobe premiere Locate can't see google drive folders?

Hi,
For some reason Adobe premiere's new Locate feature can't see google drive folders. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers,

I found this workaround, adding the google drive folder as a new library (works in windows 7 too):

Ultra 10 OBP can't see SCSI drives

I'm trying to get my Ultra 10 to boot off a SCSI drive. I've tried several controllers (SYM21002, SYM21003, and another 53c896 card) and several drives, but probe-scsi-all returns nothing. If I boot off an install CD (the CD drive is still IDE), I can see the drives and install an OS on them, but when I reboot it still can't see the drives at the ok prompt. I've tried OBP 3.31 and 3.29 with the same results in both. Any idea how I can get it to boot off a SCSI drive? Or, failing that, is it possible to boot a bootloader on an IDE drive, which then boots off the SCSI drive?

you say you can install with scsi drives, but on restart it won't boot? what is the U10 looking for? did you try boot disk ? the U10 may be looking to boot off the network or somewhere off..
I don't recognize the chip numbers... are they supported by Sun? I have only used Sun-branded scsi cards--- 375-0005 comes to mind...

Unless there's a disk in there, you won't see it.

Can an external DVD drive be used with iPad?

Does anyone know if u can use external DVD drives with the ipad2? If not is this the case with all tablet pc's or just apple?

Just about nothing else can be used externally with the iPad except for the camera adapter, and the AV output cables.

I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!

Time Machine over network: can't see hard drive

I've connected an external firewire 800 drive to our server and then chosen it in Server Preference as a drive that users can backup to, however when I try to select it in the user's Time Machine prefs I can't see the drive. Any ideas?

Is no one else having this problem?

Can't see NAS drives

I'm setting up the D-Link DNS-343 on a MacBook, 10.5.5. I also run WinXP via VM Fusion. Once I got the two drives past hanging at 94% format (deleted cookies per FAQ), I could access the NAS via the web UI from both the Mac and PC sides, but I can't see the drives in Finder or Windows Explorer. I've played with the settings, updated the firmware, etc., but still nothing. Any ideas?

It has to be mounted as a network drive. It just won't show up on the Desktop. Use the Connect to Server selection from the Finder's Go menu. Give the IP address to the NAS that was provided in the manual.

Can the iMac dvd drive read or accept mini-dvds/cds? thanks

Can the iMac dvd drive read or accept minid-dvds/cds? Thanks

Don't even attempt it. It won't work, and the disk will just get stuck in the drive's mechanism. If you want to use mini-disks, you'll need an external tray-loading optical drive.
Regards.

P55-GD65 Bios Can't Detect Hard Drives

I can't get my motherboard bios to detect my hard drives (An OCZ Agility SSD and WD Black). My SATA DVD drive is detected properly. I have a Corsair HX850 power supply. My P55-GD65 came with 1.4 Bios.
I had tried default optimised settings and also having AHCI enabled. I tried different SATA cables as well as SATA power cables. I tried plugging the hard drives in different SATA slots including the one that worked with the dvd drive. I cleared CMOS. I'm stumped. Should I look into flashing a new bios?

He hasn't come back for a year--highly unlikely he'll see this. Also, don't respond to long dead threads. Create your own thread.
