AWE32: installing a CD-ROM drive

I have Packard Bell PB-60 (486). I have SB AWE 32 CT3990 copyright 995. I removed the 5.25 floppy dri've. In its place, I installed CD-ROM dri've.-- Matsu**bleep**a-Kotobuki CR-563-B OCT 993-- receive power from old 5.25 floppy dri've plug-- I/O via SB AWE32 IDE interface..... red line on ribbon cable on triangle mark on SB AWE32 card..... red line on ribbon cable on pin # on CD-ROM dri've-- Audio cable connected?ProblemThe lights on CD-ROM never flash or light-up. The EJECT button does not open tray?Boot-up messagesCMOS did not like missing 5.25 floppy dri've. Thru Setup, I updated CMOS "Diskette B:" to "Not Installed"?ERR02: AWE32 Initialization Failed?Any thoughts??

The CD-ROM dri've that I was attempting to install came from another machine that used an off-name sound card for its IDE interface.
I thought that all sound cards were pretty much the same. Apparently, Sound Blaster AWE32 IDE interface requires CD-ROM dri've to be ATAPI compliant.

  • Cannot install DVD/CD ROM drive after upgrading from Windows 7

    I had a working DVD/CD-ROM drive before upgrading. Now it shows as Unknown Device in Device Manager, I tried uninstalling it and then scanned for hardware changes but it still does not work. I also tried manually selecting a CD-ROM drive for it but it
    ends up with an error code 31. I also checked for {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} registry but it did not have lowerfilters key. How do I install the driver for it?

    Hi,
    The error code 31 means that Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.
    Considering that this issue mostly can be caused by compatible issue.
    Please check if you can fine the latest driver from Manufacturer’s website. If so, try to install it under Windows 10 compatibility mode: Right click the installer of the driver, choose Properties, choose Windows 7 under Compatibility
    mode to install.
    If the CD device still fails to work, I recommend to check the setupapi.dev.log under %windir%\inf, locate the device and find the line below:
    dvi:             Rank         - 0x00000000
    Then, corresponds the score in this link:
    Identifier Score
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff546297(v=vs.85).aspx
    The value 0x00003000 is the best identifier score and the value 0x00003FFF is the worst identifier score.
    The score near 0x00003FFF means that the driver and device may not compatible with current system, we may need to wait for the menufacturer’s driver update.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Portg 3110CT - how to install CD-ROM driver?

    Hi,
    After formatting my laptop Toshiba 3110CT, I try to install my CD-Rom drive under Ms-Dos. It's a NEC OP-260-72101 but it's TEAC 224PE recognized by the machine when it worked very well under W98. I used 224 PE Dos folder but I have a PCCARD NinjaATA which is not recognized because not Freecom, idem for the ATAPI-IDE drive installed in config.sys.
    So I installed csmapper.sys and fccdcard.sys in the first lines in config.sys.
    The card services and the ATAPI-CD drivers are installed and I have MSCDEX ...Drive E:=diver FCP0001 unit 0 written.
    But when trying to read E, I get this message: CD103 not high sierra ...with all cd.
    Thank you for your help.

    Thanks,
    all is right,I had to use this line in my config:
    device=njatacli.sys /M190 /pointenable /socketstart=1
    and this one for the cd-rom:
    device=njatacd.sys /D:MSCD001
    that what all,but I have been seeking for many hours and days because the doc is very poor,and I succeed a little by chance.
    I hope that wil be useful for other people.

  • 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!

  • NEED A SATA CD-ROM DRIVE!

    HI!
    It happened to me that I ran out of my IDE ports on my i915P bsed mainboard (I used all of the 2). I would like to install a DVD-ROM drive, but I have no more IDE ports. So I nned to get a SATA based on.
    Anyone could help me? I know that MSI has a SATA based combo drive, mut do they have DVD-ROM's?
    Thank you in advance
    [email protected] [also MSN]

    Apart what NovJoe already suggested, I never heard about a sata DVD-Rom. If you ran out of IDE ports, you can try to install a PCI IDE card and get 2 more ports. Of course if you haven't any free PCI slot, well that's kinda problem.
    Good luck

  • I can't see my CD Rom Drive

    Hi all, i'm new in ipod, and i'm desperate and need help!!!
    When i open iTunes without my iPod connected, i see my cd-rom drive in the source, when i connect mt iPod, cd-rom drive disappears from source and can't see my cd-rom in "my computer" either... What's the problem how can i get rid of this irritating problem?
    Already tried re-installing my cd-rom drive and itunes.. doesn't help...

    First try changing your drive letter of your cd rom say to drive r: then attach your ipod and see if that works could be a sharing violation.

  • Dvd Rom Drive in a Satellite 4030 cds???

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite 4030 cds.I would like to know if i am able to install a dvd rom drive into this laptop. If yes which models would fit this machine.
    Thank You
    PB

    Hi Breck,
    in my opinion there is no way to upgrade the internal CD Drive to a DVD Drive because the CD Drive is fixed mounted and could only replaced by the same model!
    Only an external solution like USB or PCMCIA would fit!
    Sorry!

  • K7T Turbo LE - Windows XP Pro SP-1 is not detecting my CD ROM drive I used to install XP Pro !!!!!!!

    This is an XP driver issue that I'm not sure how to resolve.
    This is a brand new K7T Turbo (MS-6330) Limited Edition motherboard (red-colored board, not green), Ver. 3 (no RAID controller on-board)
    PSU is 400w (I tried another PSU, same issue)
    Athlon 850MHz socket-A
    CD-ROM drive - Yamaha CDR2100E 16x10x40  UDMA-1
    The BIOS is 3.6, updated prior to Windows XP's installation
    The VIA 4-in-1 drivers were updated with the latest available on MSI's website for the 6330
    2 hard drives installed on the primary controller - one set to master, one set to slave
    CD-ROM drive is the only device on the secondary controller, set to master with no slave, and is plugged-into the end IDE cable connector
    The board detects the cd drive, and I even installed Windows XP Pro WITH this cd-rom drive, installed as currently configured, which is what pisses me off.  I've installed XP four times today, try different things between installs, and nothing.  The drive works FINE outside of XP, but as soon as XP starts, the drive disappears and XP doesn't even detect it.  Also, while booting up, the start screen will lock up (activity bar freezes and hard drive activity stops) for about ten seconds (but everything's hooked-up right... I'm not a PC rookie!).
    HELP!  Please oh please help!!!!  I'm getting aggravated!
    Thanks!

  • 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 Drive lost when installing iPod Nano

    After installing my iPod Nano and iTunes my PC will no longer recognise it has a CD ROM drive.
    Like a dummy I tried it on 2 PC's and now they are both stuffed!
    Apple tech support don't have a clue.
    I have uninstalled everything, even the CD ROM Drives and rebooted, hoping the plug and play would kick in but no luck - HELP

    I now have a solution for this. I printed out the solution before it disappeared off the PB website so im quoting direct from my printout. If you are not familiar with using regedit then be careful or seek assistance.
    Packard Bell PC’s
    Yellow exclamation mark in device manager against CD/DVD drives and drives not useable/visible on PC. Can happen after attempt Ipod Nano install.
    To fix involves running and modifying system registry editor
    1 Click START then RUN type REGEDIT and click ok
    2 Locate and then delete the following registry values:
    HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SYSTEM\currentcontrolsset\control\class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-B FC1-08002BE10318}-
    This string will be visible in the right hand pane of registry editor and will have a yellow folder beside it.
    When you open the folder that has the above string immediately to the right of it then in the right hand pane of registry editor a list of values will appear.
    Reading from top to bottom they will probably be a list of items each having an icon with the letters ab in red.
    The list is
    Default
    Class
    Enumproppages32
    Icon
    Installer2
    Lowerfilters
    Noinstallclass
    Silentinstall
    Troubleshooter=0
    upperfilters
    Now click on lowerfilters to highlight it then delete it,do the same for upper filters. When you’ve done this,drop down the file menu (top left hand corner) and click exit then power off the pc and restart)
    If you’ve done this correctly all should be well,the nano should work and the DVD drives will be present.

  • Trying to install adobe premier elements 12 on windows 8 computer. New computer doesnt have CD rom drive

    Hello,
    I'm having a bit of a problem. A few months ago, I purchased Adobe Premiere and today i decided to get a new computer to help me edit videos faster. Now I'm trying to add the old software to my new computer so that I can use it. Unfortunately, the computer that I have now doesn't have a CD Rom drive and since they've already updated the software to the new elements 13, I cant seem to find the link to re-install Elements 12. I NEED HELP ASAP. My first real gig is tomorrow.   Thank you all for the help!

    I am not sure where John is coming from on his replies on this.
    If you purchased Premiere Elements 12 from Adobe direct as an online download purchase, then you go to the adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com)
    sign in, put "My Orders" in the Search field, and then follow the "My Orders" link to your program order where you should find an opportunity to download new files.
    Alternatively, you can go to the following web site, download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout, and insert your purchased serial number into those files during installation.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    You need to read and carry out carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions at that web site so that you do not run into Access Denied messages.
    Please let us know if you OK with the above details. If not, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.

  • New Computer Windows 8 without CD Rom Drive, CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Download and Install

    I have a new laptop with Windows 8, and like most new computers it does not have a CD Rom drive. I have deactivated CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition from my old computer (since I am only allowed one computer at a time) and would like to install and activate on my new machine. I am in possession of the original cd, product key and serial number, however the email that I originally used to get the serial number no longer exists. I have created a new Adobe ID with my new email address.
    I read a forum that suggested that I download a trial, and then activate that trial with my serial number. I followed those steps with the closest version I could find, which was CS5, and though my computer said the files downloaded, nothing was installed... and I cant figure out how to install... and I am concerned that I dont have the same version in the trial as the CD that I own. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- most of the reason I wanted a faster computer was so I could run my photoshop on there!!!!

  • Installing Solaris 10 11/06 from an external USB CD-ROM drive

    Hello. I recently purchased a new SunFire V245 SPARC server and would like to re-install Solairs 10 on it. However, the internal DVD-ROM is on back order from the vendor and will not arrive for a few days. I have an exteranl USB CD-ROM drive and the server sees it and the media when I access it from the Java desktop. However, I cannot boot from this device or see it in OpenBoot using any of the probe command. I've searched several forums and have seen that Solaris 10 can be installed from an external USB device on the x86/x64 platform. But I cannot find any information or steps on how to implement this procedure on the SPARC platform. Is this functionality possible? Or do I have to update my OpenBoot version? Please advise if possible. Thanks.

    Hello Alex,
    no, you can't use USB devices on SPARC as boot device.
    The OBP (even updated ones) contains only support for the USB keyboard, but none for USB mass storage (which requires a device driver). The integrated USB ports are for slow devices like keyboard and mouse.
    Using an external SCSI DVD-ROM works. Another choice is an installation via network.

  • Win7 install looking for CD ROM driver (after loading from CD) cannot find it so fails to install.

    Product: HP-IQ-775
    OS? Gone!- Was WIndows Vista HP-SP2, but System Recovery wiped it out!
    Error Msg: Current message that is stopping the installation of Windows 7 is "Missing CD/DVD ROM Driver- Please insert disk, or browse to location of driver" Browse accnot find driver needed (whatever it is... it is running form the bootable CD drive, so obviously it found something!)
    Changes? Oh yeah, you bet!! I have had so many problems with this machine, I cannot list them all. After running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which reported only 2 issues, both software and both resolved, all OS upgrades installed, all drivers updated, ran the MS Malicious Software app, then attempoted an upgrade from Windows Vista- Home Premium, Service Pack 2. Long story short, after 3 days of 'installing Windows 7' on the screen, it failed. No explanation just "update failed, system will rollback to Vista". The rollback was uneventful, but sytem began having problems. Missing drivers, USB ports failed, CPU Fan Failure shut downs, blue screen after blue screen. I sent my system logs to an MCSE 'expert' and he reported " there are so many issues in the logs, that it would be a miracle if the machine ever ran again" He suggested Formatting the drive and instaling Win 7 clean. WIth far too much going on  with projects, I could not do this. Ultimately, Updates would not work, A/V software would not update, Vdeo software would not run. I contacted Microsoft, and after a week or so of email volleys, they escalated it to thieir 'expert', who after a few hours troubleshooting remotely, and multiple failed System Restores, said the only hope was a System Recovery.
    After backing up everything today, I did the System Recovery from the Factory Image, the result was fatal! It went through the first half, erasing my operating sytem and associated files, drivers etc, it reported "Error found in Sytem Configuration, System Recvovery not completed", leaving me with an X drive, a C: drive tith nothing on it, and between the two, sho about 30GB of space total, on a 500GB drive!
    I figured this would be the best time to do a 'clean install' of Windows 7, as I no longer had an OS to upgrade! I ran my Win7 Install disk, which ran fine, loaded its files, then reported "missing CD/DVD driver. PLease insert floppy, CD or flash drive, or browse to external drive with driver location"
    Needless to say, I could find noting that it would accept. I even downloaded a driver from TSST (CD OEM) but the installer would not accept it from the flash drive. That is where I am now. No OS loaded, partitions screwed up, command prompt finds noting but X: (Recovery files?)29GB,  and C: what is left of it, it shows 9GB. Where is the rest of my disk? Who knows.
    I have 5 external drives, full system backup on one, all data files on another, System Recovery Backup on another, but cannot access anything with no OS. I can only use the Win7 install boot disk to access the computer at all, and it has limited functionality.
    I am writing from my HP-dv-9720 notebook, which has its own OS issues (still running on Vista basic as it will not install SPs), so it is available for email and driver downloads if necessary.
    Anyone want this challenge?
    Thanks
    Doug

    WOW! 9 months later and not a sigle response. And now I am back! (Windows7 worked fine BTW!) Now I have the FAN FAILURE, yet the only thing that works on the computer, IS the FAN!! HP is ware of this problem but has done nothing except post a bunch of unrelatre (to IQ-775) stuff! A replacement fan (not that it is needed) is over $300, almost half of what I paid for the entire system!! BS! This is a latent defect and should be fixed by HP!
    I currently have 3 HP computers, 5HP printers and an HP plotter! I have been a loyal HP customer fore over 20 years! IF they do not fix this, FREE, I will NEVER buy another HP product again! That is a promise! This is pure BS!  The machine will not boot due to a false "fan failure' report. both fans are running fine, and always have. The defect is in the reporting software or fan firmware, NOT the fan!
    I will be back in 9 months to answer myself again!
