After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my  DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

Hey hvbnfrgvn,
Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.

  • I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

  • After upgrading from win 7 - win 8, do I really need the win 7 recovery partition?

    Hello.
    I'm a happy camper after upgrading my HP Spectre XT from win 7 to win 8 (Win 8 upgrade offer). The 128GB SSD disks just makes everything so smooth and fast.
    However I am abit annoyed with the Win 7 recovery partition that still uses 20 GB of my total 128GB space.
    I have tried searching the forums, as well as the www for any good answers, but I end up more confused.
    So I am asking the community some questions that interests me, and hopefully you can provide me with some meaningsful answers
    1. Can I now delete my win 7 recovery partition, and if so what is the most effiecient and safe way to do it?
    2. Is there a a good way to make sure that if (heaven forbid) something would happen, I still would be able to recover my notebook preferably to win 8, and not the preinstalled OEM win 7?
    3. Of course the Spectre XT has no optical drive, so if its doable I might need to make an win 8 recovery partition in the end. Is it possible? 

    You can use Windows builtin Disk Management to delete the partition, or EaseUS software. Both procedures are outlined at EaseUS site:
    http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/windows-8-partition-manager/delete-windows-8-partition.htm
    As for a Recovery option after deleting, look at System Imaging which is builtin Windows 8 also.You need an external USB hdd for this.

  • BIAS SoundSaver Input Level Not Working after upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1

    Have been using BIAS SoundSaver for INport software to digitize music LPs and cassette tapes to load on MP3 player.  Worked fine with Windows 8.  However, now that I have upgraded to Win 8.1, I can get sound of LPs and cassette tapes but the Input Level that controls the recording level on the software no longer functions.  My computer is an HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1355 Desktop Computer with IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. I am wondering if the problem may be with the audio drivers installed on the computer.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @Alkay 
    I see that you are having sound issues after your 8.1 upgrade. Did you update to the 8.1 versions of the drivers?

  • Can't activate secure boot after upgrading from Win 7 to Win 8 on a Spectre XT

    Hi everybody,
    my first post here, so please forgive me if the topic has already been discussed
    I did search before posting anyway, but I couldn't found anything addressing this specific point.
    My (small, I must admit) problem is as follows:
    I recently purchased a Spectre XT 13-2005tu (i7 processor, 4Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD) with Windows 7 pre-installed.
    After installing my favourite applications and using it for a few weeks without any trouble, I thought to take the opportunity of the $14.99 upgrade to Win 8, so I downloaded Windows 8 Pro and installed it (as an upgrade, rather than a fresh installation, because I didn't want to loose the customizations I already made).
    I also installed all the updates available on HP website (sp59158 for updated BIOS, sp58404 for UEFI support, ecc.)
    The whole upgrade worked nicely, and the PC is now up and running with Win 8.
    Now, I'm trying to use at best all the possibilities Win 8 has to offer, and among them, the UEFI secure boot.
    I found the "legacy support" option in the BIOS settings, which as I understand must be disabled to activate the UEFI secure boot, but if I do that the PC tells that there's no operating system on the disk and doesn't boot anymore.
    Which was a bit scary by the way, but eventually I could re-enable the legacy support in the BIOS and have the PC working again, but of course with no secure boot.
    I suppose there must be some other re-configuration that should be done before changing the BIOS parameter, but I couldn't find any instruction for that anywhere on the web.
    On the other hand, it would be indeed weird if the secure boot could not be configured AFTER the OS upgrade, and a new fresh installation would be necessary.
    I'd rather part with the secure boot than re-install everything, but that would be a shame... :-(
    I hope someone can explain what should be done, many thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your feedback, but I don't think your issue is the same as the one I previously explained.
    The UEFI/secure boot setting is a basic configuration affecting the way the PC boots, regardless of whether it is connected to a network or not.
    By the way, in the meantime I've seen in a shop exactly the same PC model which I'm using, now sold with Win 8 pre-installed, and it was working with the UEFI enabled (= BIOS "legacy support" disabled).
    Therefore, the configuration I'm interested in has to be feasible, one way or another...!

  • Sound glitches after upgrading from win 2000 to win

    Hello!
    I have this sound card since 2 years and never had any problems... but since I've upgraded from windows 2000 to windows xp, there's a lot of glitches in the sound coming from the card (it happens with all softwares I use). I'm using a sound blaster audigy 2 nx (latest drivers) on a P4 2GHz with 52 Mb Ram. Thanks in advance!

    What version of the Oracle ODBC driver are you using? 8.01 is not a driver version-- it should be something like 8.1.7.x.y (assuming you're using one of the 8.1.7 Oracle ODBC drivers).
    Since Oracle desupported the 8.1.7 database almost a year ago, do you have the option of upgrading the Oracle client to a supported release (probably 9.2 in your case)?
    Unfortunately, I don't know what your particular problem is, but I have certainly seen problems mixing the latest and greatest versions of applications with older versions of the Oracle client.

  • Very slow encoding after upgrade from 5.03 to 5.5 with MXO2 mini

    Hi all.
    After upgrading from CS5.03 to 5.5 my encoding now takes 5 times as long. A 2 minute HD Video file would take 2 minutes, and still does on the PC I haven't upgraded (identical almost) but now with CS5.5 it takes almost 11 minutes.
    Some explanation....
    I create HD MJPEG files on a PC with Blackmagic Decklink.
    I transfer these files to an HPz800 which used to run CS5.03 with Matrox Utils 5.1.1.37 and an MXO2 Mini with Max. (Nvidia Quadro fx4800 and 12GB of RAM)
    On a Blackmagic timeline HD 1080i MJPEG with filters of Auto Color, Fast Color Corrector and Gamma correction a 2 minute timeline would encode in 2 minutes give or take a couple of seconds.
    Now with CS5.5 and Mtx 5.5 an identical file takes 11 minutes to encode to Microsoft avi - Matrox 1920 x 1080i - 25fps.
    If I remove the filters (which I need to be able to use) it will come down to 2 minutes as it used to be.....so it seems to be the filters are now slowing things down when they never used to. I have never rendered before exporting. Ever. So this time I tried rendering first and it brought the 11 minutes down to 7 minutes but when taking into account the 4 minutes rendering time I am no better off.
    I have updated CS5.5 to CS 5.5.1 and MTX Utils to 5.5 and then 5.5.1 and it makes no difference. Still 11 minutes to decode 2 minutes with three filters, which is exactly what I have always been doing but now it doesn't work....
    Can anybody help? or make a suggestion as to why using filters in 5.5 now multiplies the encode time by 5 when it never used to. Everything else bar Matrox Utils on this machine is as it was before the upgrade to 5.5 and as I say my older machine is still 5.03 it can do it all in 2 minutes even with the filters intact.
    So have I really spent a small fortune upgrading to make my output 5 times slower. Not happy......

    To go further, every single encode that I have done is slower than it was before with CS5.01 or 5.03.
    This is odd because going from Blackmagic to any other codec doesn't necessarily need the Matrox box or Matrox utils
    Blackmagic HD or SD to
    Matrox HD
    QT HD MP4
    QT SD DV25
    DV AVI SD
    Mpeg2 - DVD
    Every single encode is slow by 2x to 6x.
    Why should Blackmagic HD to QT MOV MP4 take twice as long as it used to...... having said that The speeds I am seeing now are what it was like before I attached the box in the first place, whether a Matrox codec was involved or not.... It is acting like a blocked funnel. when it used to be a lovely wide and clear funnel.
    Anyway Matrox have reproduced the problem and are investigating, so hopefully there will be an answer soon....

  • After upgrading to Yosemite my mac doesn't shut off. The off button doesn't work

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my mac doesn't shut off.  The off button no longer works. I want to shut the thing off.

    Jehreth,
    On my Macbook Pro you have to hold the power button down a moment till a little window pops up and asks what you would like to do. Also you can go to:
    (  ) Menu > Shut down ...
    to shutdown your Mac. Or are you saying that these options do not work?
    Hope that helps,

  • C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

    Hello.
    I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista.  Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print.  The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
    -  Printer is hooked up wirelessly
    -  I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
    -  I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
    There is no error.  Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed.  I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

    I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
    After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
    Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
    After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful  restore system and start again.  Most it took me was three attemps.
    Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
    Hope this helps you......... Good luck

  • Elements 5 will not start from the windows old file after upgrading from vista to win 7

  • Bluetooth does not work well after upgrade to win 8.1 from win 8

    System:                       Dell Inspiron 15R 5520
    Bluetooth hardware:   Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) 4.0 + High Speed Adapter
                                         Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
    Ever since I upgraded from Win 8 to 8.1, the bluetooth has not been working well.
    The option to browse a remote folder or send a file does not work. 
    I can send a file only by opening the contaning folder, right click, and send to bluetooth, but cannot receive a file unless I go to
    run and then open fsquirt.exe .
    I have unpaired and uninstalled the devices respectively, and then reinstalled and repaired them. But this does not work .either.
    Unfortunately, I am unable to paste  screenshots of the device manager and error messages until I am verified.
    Can anyone give me a solution to this problem?

    Verify that you have the latest drivers for Windows 8.1 installed from the manufacturer's website.

  • System recovery fails after upgrade to Win 8.1 on Satellite L75D-A7283

    My elderly uncle forgot the password to his Win 8 user account sometime after upgrading to Win 8.1. He was the administrator, we haven't been able to get Microsoft to reset the account, so I thought to roll back the computer to its factory installation of Win 8.
    However, when I try to do that, I get as far as the Reset your PC screen and find that the only target OS is Win 8.1, not the original Win 8. Ok, I accept that. But after choosing to restore Win 8.1, it says "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing."
    I have examined the disk by removing it and attaching it to another computer and find that both the original Win 8 recovery partition and the new Win 8.1 GPT recovery partition are both there. They just don't seem to be accessible.
    It seems that the Win 8.1 upgrade has made the original factory recovery partition inaccessible, which is not particularly helpful. We have no recovery disks to work from, so I think my only recourse is to try to get a Win 8 factory recovery disk from Toshiba, but I wondered if anyone else has a suggestion? Thanks.

    Satellite L75D-A7283
    It's my understanding the upgrade does not modify any other partitions while upgrading Windows itself. Seems likely something else is wrong.
    If you did not create recovery media before and cannot do so now, then obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
    All the information in the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide, should still be applicable.

  • PDF files won't open after upgrade from 9 to 10 or 11

    After upgrading from Reader 9 to Reader 10, I lost the ability to open PDF files on my Win 7 laptop.  Even the icons became blank white blocks. I reinstalled Reader 9 and it all worked as usual. In trying Reader 11, it happened again.  Any thoughts?

    Thank you for your reply. Allow me to clarify.
    After installing Reader 10 or 11, the icons for PDFs on my desktop changed from the typical PDF icon to a blank white icon like when the extension of a file has been changed or omitted. Double clicking the icon no longer opens the PDF file. Yes, Reader opens but I no longer was able to open any preexisting PDF files using the new version of Reader. I did try changing away from protected mode to no avail.
    I do not have a screen shot as I have downgraded to Reader 9. I have scanned thoroughly for malware and viruses and none have been found.
    Thank you again. I look forward to your further comments.
