Bootcamp does not see replacement DVD drive in Mac Pro3,1

Recently purchased LG Super-Multi Drive - Mac Pro Kit 24X 5.25" Internal DVD/CD Writer from OWC and installed it in lower DVD drive according to the manuel provided including wire to Sata plug in Mac Pro3,1. A difference is that Top of 2 DVD ports has a faulty drawer door so I have removed the original Apple DVD device from it.
I now have DVD access/play using LG in Mountain Lion with bottom Drive but none at all in Boot Camped Windows 7 or 8 which do not see the SATA drive in lower drawer.
Wondering if there is any fix for this.

My Latest email back & forth with OWC:
My Mac Pro is 3,1 early 2008. My understanding before purchase was that it would work in Mt. Lion and Windows.
Is there anyone who knows how to make this work?
This is a very well known issue that was discovered shortly after the 2006 Mac Pro first shipped.
Sincerely,
OWC Andy

Equium A60 does not see a recording drive

Sadly more help is needed with my Equium A60 following on from the earlier fault of the missing CD\DVD drive. Thanks for the help earlier, I did get my cd drive back in 'My Computer' and it does read cds..
Today I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD writer is not seen. I get a error message saying you don't have a cd writer.. I have CD Creator 6 which I have been using ok before, that too does not see a recording drive on my laptop.
I can no longer format a blank cdr or drag and drop on a cdrw formatted previously.
Any ideas anyone.?? Thanx.!!

Hi,
in 'My Computer' right-click on the DVD drive and select properties. Check if on the record tab CD-recording is activated.
Bye

How do I install photoshop CS5 on my imac that does not have a DVD drive

I have photoshop CS5 and just got new iMac that does not have the DVD drive. I would like to avoid having to purchase the external DVD drive. Does Adobe offer options that I can still download CS5 that I have purchased on my new machine?

Marin bortnem you can download the installation files for Photoshop CS5 at Download CS5 products.

I-movie does not see i-DVD

I-movie does not see i-DVD
I am using a mac mini with system 10.3.7 with 1.47 Ghz Power PC G-4 and 512 MB Ram.
I was having problems with my I-DVD crashing every time I asked it to burn a DVD or make a disc file.
Then I reinstalled I-movie 5 and I-DVD 5 but now the imovie does not seem to see the iDVD. It asks for an i-DVD version 4 or higher when I have already installed the version 5. It does not seem to see it.
I decided to try version 4 but the installation disc that I have for I-life 4 does not allow me to install I-movie and I-DVD from the disc because it says that one of those applications is open. Thus I had to drag the applications from another computer.
So, I transferred an old version 4 for I-movie and I-DVD from another computer and when I try to make a DVD it comes up with the message that I need an I-DVD version 3 or higher and does not see the version 4 that is there.
The result is that I can create a DVD from I-movie.
If I try to create a DVD booting up on my firewire external HD with 10.3.4 and versions 4 of imovie and idvd, I have no problem.
Ideas?
Thanks you,
Robert Najemy

Hi Robert,
Mac OS 10.4.2 is now available. Have you considered upgrading your OS?
Having said that, I will qualify it by also saying that I do not know if that one item will solve your problem but I am wondering if your OS and your applications are now confused?
Hope this helps.

HT1539 How do you redeem Digital Downloads if your device does not have a DVD drive?

How do you redeem Digital Downloads if your device does not have a DVD drive?

If the redemption comes only on a disk, then you will have to get access to a DVD drive, either by borrowing or purchasing one, or by using the Remote Disk feature if you have another computer available that does have a DVD drive.
Regards.

HT1539 I have the new imac and it does not have a dvd drive. How can I download digital copy of a movie?

Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?

You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

FCPX does not see my external drive?

Need some help. When I open FCP it identifies my external hard drive for a second or two but then it disappears. I can see it in the finder and on my desktop no problem. Also, when I start a new event it does not see my external videos hard drive. It is a brand new Seagate - I have not used it for time machine back ups and before I upgraded to Lion it worked fine. Now I can't bring in projects that I saved to the external Hard drive. I'm new to this software so I would really appreciate some help as I can't even begin to contemplate doing this project a third time.

Take a look at the name of the drive, as well as to the names of folders at the root of that drive.
FCP is probably treating your drive as a camera. You may know for sure by selecting File->Import from Camera and see if your drive appears there.
Don't call your drive "Video", for instance - and avoid common names used in camera folders, like "DCIM".

Macbook pro does not see internal DVD/CD drive

Our macbook pro 4,1 running OSX 10.8.5 (12F45) no longer seems to recognize the internal DVD/CD drive.
Both the ATA and Disc Burning listings for the MBP say there are no devices of that type listed.
This started when my wife attempted to play an audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro 1,1 running Snow Leopard and using Itunes 11.4. The icon for the CD did not show up and the disk didn't play. It also would not eject. (She had just successfully played another audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro). After some research, we found that the 'stuck CD' is a common problem and the solution that worked for us was cold starting with the trackpad button depressed while shaking the **** out of the computer (and giving it a few 'love taps') .... several tries without the physical encouragement failed before adding shaking ... then it ejected the CD.
So .... we were able to remove the offending CD, but when I tried one that had worked before, a commercially produced CD, it got stuck too and required the same draconian procedure to get it to eject.
I re-cold started the MBP with an empty optical drive and then brought up the Hardware Overview. It said there was no ATA device and no Disc Burning device. The device itself must be getting power, because when the CD was stuck, you could hear it trying to do something when you hit the eject key, and when we finally discovered how to force ejection, the mechanical sound associated with disc ejection could be heard.
I seriously doubt that the optical drive has just stopped working. Instinct tells me that the attempt to read an audio CD that was somehow incompatible caused the opsys to be configured in a way that makes it unable to communicate with the optical drive directly. Any suggestions on how to investigate this, possibly from the Terminal, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Joe - but I have discovered how to free the stuck CD from the drive.
The problem now is that OSX 10.8.5 does not recognize the presence of the optical drive at all. It does not show up in Disk Utility's list of drives/volumes and does not show up in the ATA or Disc Burning categories in the system profiler. For example, I can insert the system disc, which the drive accepts, but the install/utilitiy app does not fire up .... not initially, nor after I cold start while holding 'C'. The system doesn't see it.
Applecare was willing to try to assist me for free, but the agent, after helping me run the Disc Utility from the cold start Recovery System, claimed it was a faulty optical drive. Though this is quite possible, I'm still skeptical and have a local mac guru coming to look at it (for a fee) on Monday, 2/9/15.
In some of my research regarding the stuck CD, there was mention that a CD programmed on a different drive (in a different mac) initiated the sticky CD problem, and implied that something about the CD corrupted something in the guts of the guts of the OS. But if true, Disk Utility, which likely communicates to the optical drive thru the OS, may not be able to see the drive. It'd be nice if there was some diagnostic software that runs on an intel mac that completely runs independently of the OS but with full privileges to directly query the hardware I/O channel(s) that directly talk to the optical drive. If you know of such an animal, that would be helpful and might save me from buying a new optical drive when it's really a system corruption problem.

W7 installation through bootcamp does not see hard drives

Hi! I created a partition with bootcamp assistent 4.0.1. After restarting, during installation (windows 7 enviroment), the installation disk selection screen does not have any HD to choose.
What can i do?
Thanks in advance.

Win7 install does not see new hard drive (640gb Samusung) on MacBook Pro

Replaced MBP 5,4 (mid 2009) hdd with a Samsung HM641JI 640gb drive. OS X installation went fine using SL install disk, updated software to 10.6.4. Problem is with Windows 7 installation using Boot Camp. Partition is created (tried 32 to 300 gb). Windows 7 install disk loads but after "Install now" and accepting license agreement, it does not recognize the drive or any partitions. XP install works fine. Had same Win7 problem with 2 identical hdds and 3 different install disks which were full version, not upgrades. Installed Win7 using boot camp on 320 gb Samsung drive (also 3.0gb/s SATA) without a problem. Tried formatting the bootcamp partition on the 640 gb drive to NTFS, but still not recognized. Any suggestions?

Odd you can't see anything. I'd use Windows 7 recovery tools to do a full initialize and map out bad blocks if necessary. Or initialize from OS X drive and then do full slow format etc from Windows DVD.
Every drive vendor has their own linux/dos/windows utility to recertify and test sectors and does a better job than anyone else's. WD Lifeguard for all my WD drives, can be very handy.

Windows dvd maker does not recognize the dvd drive in this computer

I have windows 7 release candidate on my old desktop and this newish notebook. Windows DVD maker works fine on the desktop but on this Lenovo 3000 N200 it will not recognize the built in dvd drive. I have checked with Device Manager and the software is up to date and the device is working normally. I can make DVD movies using a free program called DVD Flick. DVD Flick recognizes the DVD burner, so why won't Windows DVD Maker work??

Hi Ppprrrggg,
The following information was copied from Troubleshoot problems with creating a DVD-Video using Windows DVD Maker
My DVD failed to burn. What can I do?
Try one or more of the following:
Verify that the DVD burner is connected properly to your computer and powered on, and that any necessary software drivers for the DVD burner are installed. You can check your hardware settings in the Device Manager by doing the following:
1.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.
Click Hardware and Sound.
3.
Click Device Manager.
Make sure that the videos you're trying to burn are not corrupted. To see whether the videos you want to burn are corrupted, try playing or viewing them using Windows Media Player. If the files don't play using the Player, Windows DVD Maker cannot burn them.
Choose a slower burning speed for your DVD burner by doing the following:
1.
Return to the Add pictures and video to the DVD page, and then click Options.
2.
In the DVD burner speed box, select Medium or Slow.
Does it work?
Thanks .
I uninstalled DVD Flick and followed the steps above but no luck.....any other ideas??? Apart from the fact that Windows DVD Maker SHOULD work I find it extra annoying because I think it is a very good program....it's better than DVD Flick, and besides not wanting to fork out money I would prefer to have nothing to do with programs like Nero.
Hi,
When you click DVD Maker-what exactly happens?Or what kind of error is?
when i click dvd
when I click dvd burner I select videos 2 burn.....videos I can watch on windows media player. After selecting the slowest burn speed I click on ''burn'' just like I do on my 7 year old desktop (which will then burn a dvd movie). But on this notebook I get a little window......''windows dvd maker''. It reads ''dvd burner not found. A dvd burner was not found. Make sure a dvd burner is connected and installed then try again.'' How useless is that???!!! I find it hard to believe this problem cannot be solved. Also I don't believe I can make the problem any clearer!!! Windows has no problem finding the dvd drive if I want to burn a data dvd so how come I can't burn a dvd movie using windows??? please help!!!!!

My program does not recognize my DVD drive and says, " No burner available". How do I fix this? It worked until one month ago

I have an HP Computer., approximately one year old. Since I bought the program,( about 8 months ago) it had worked correctly, but last month, I could not save projects to DVD because program said, " No burner detected" . Welcome any help as I am trying to convert Family VHS tapes to DVD.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Assuming for now you are aiming at DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and not AVCHD on DVD disc.
We can try at least 3 different approaches to restore Premiere Elements burner location recognition for your DVD/CD burner (assumed not Blu-ray DVD burner).
For now, I am going to assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. Deactivate the program from within the opened project - in version 12, Expert workspace Help Menu/Sign Out. Then uninstall the program via the usual Control Panel route. Next do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Finally reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
3. Refresh the DVD drivers.
CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...at the onset, please assure that the issue still exists with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
