Changing dvd drive help

I have a presario S7150 and want to change dvd/cd rom drive. New drive is S ATA old one is IDE, cant find where to plug the SATA cable into .
Do I need an adapter or is there a place to plug in on the motherboard and if so where.

That motherboard does not have SATA ports: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00100539&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en...
There are choices, however.
1) Install a PCI adapter card:

2) Get a different  DVD drive.  They still have IDE drives available:

3) Get an enclosure for the drive that was purchased to make it USB:

4) replace motherboard with newer device interfaces (not recommended for you hardware)

  • Changing DVD drive on a Satellite 1410-801

    Hi All,
    i want to change my dvd drive for a dvd burner "toshiba SD-R6472U"on my toshiba 1410-801 !
    i opened the laptop and the drive ! right now beging the problem ;)
    i can see into the bios option the HDD "already changed" and the DVD but once passed the toshiba screen appear a error message saying "IDE 1 #error". and the dvd drive does not appear in the "my computer" i tryed to put a jumper to place the HDD to salve mode, master and cable select anyway same problem !
    Greetings to all and waiting for your help !

    Hi
    It seems that you have bought not compatible drive!
    It's not advisable to connect any pin on the new drive!
    I would call your dealer where you have bought the drive and ask him for a new compatible one.
    The fact is if you destroy the drive you will loose the drive, warranty and money!

  • Error -70001 when changing DVD drive region for last time

    Hi there,
    I am trying to change my DVD drive from region 2 to region 1. This should be the last time I am able to change regions, but I am still getting an Error -70001 which prevents me from making the switch.
    Can anyone help me get around this?
    Another forum said I need to find a disk that can only be read in the region I want to change to (in this case region 1), but so far I have had no luck with this method.
    Thank you all so much for any help on the issue.

    Are you sure the DVD is region 1 ONLY? You can't always trust the label. I have a three DVD boxed set that says region 1. One of the DVDs is multiple region.

  • Changing dvd drive permissions

    can someone please tell me how to change my dvd drive from read only to read and write.
    i have had this working once but somehow its got changed. when i have a dvd in the drive and click info it shows as read only.
    very frustrating.
    its a new imac running leopard.
    Message was edited by: floppity

    You can't change the write permissions of the drive. The write capability is determined by two things:
    1. The hardware itself -- IOW, a drive with no burn capabilities for DVD's can't burn to that media because it physically lacks a laser that will do that.
    2. The type of media & its state. For instance, commercial DVD's are pressed, not burned, & their media layer can't be changed by shining a laser on it, period. DVD-R's can be written to once & only once. DVD-RW's can be erased & reused, but it is an all or nothing process.
    What type of DVD have you put into the drive?

  • Changed DVD drive from Region 1 - 3 now doesn't work

    I rented a movie that ha a region 3 code set in it.
    I changed my DVD drive to region 3 to watch it.
    It worked fine.
    But now It is not mounting at all.
    And when I open DVD Player, DVD player says " A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]
    So what should I do now?

    Spontanously works again. I think it's because i zapped the P-RAM...
    if it worked... or i just restarted.

  • G4 cube DVD drive help?

    Hi all. I am playing with a G4 cube now (450mHz, 1g Ram, DVD drive). The problem I have is the DVD drive can read DVDs, music CDS, but not data CDs. Any suggestions. I'd appreciate it.

    What is the media format (RW? +R? -R?) and formatting used (Mac? PC (and which?)? Unix?) for the data CDs? Is this just happening on specific CDs you have recently tried to use or on data CDs from everybody at any time, even ones that worked before? Commercial CDs as well as home-made ones?
    At this stage I'm going to hazard a guess that these are burned CDs. Burned media on a whole is harder for drives to read and if a drive is old and starting to show problems (normally solved most easily and inexpensively by replacing the drive) it is usually with burned media first.

  • Cd drive and dvd drive~~~~help

    i have install the software that come with the ipod
    after i reboot the pc,
    my cd drive and dvd drive are disappear in my computer
    what can i do, to get my cd drive and dvd drive back?
      Windows XP  

    Happens, its a commonly documented error with Windows and alot of burning software installed on one machine.
    Your going to have to work thru this article to resolve it. Now it is going to be in the registry to fix it. Which is pretty indepth. The document works tho. Used to work for a company that wrote burning software and we did this on a hourly basis. If your not comfortable, your going to need to find someone who is experenced in the registry.

  • Hard drive from G3 to G4, can't get it to recognize DVD drive, HELP!

    Hi, the hard drive in my G4 laptop went kaput so I replaced it with the one from my old G3 (I cannot afford new parts). That HD had OS X 3.9 installed on it and seems to run fine, however, the old computer didn't have a DVD player and now since I put the HD on this one that does, it doesn't recognize it. It seemed to detect all the new aspects of the newer computer like how much ram it has and the processor speed, but it still says it has the old CD-rom drive. Can I do this without wiping the HD and reinstalling OS X because I don't have the installation disks and cannot afford to purchase any? Is there something I can run to auto-detect it? It is crucial that I get this working, I have kids and this computer was our only TV/DVD player! Any ideas? Thank you! In case it helps, the system profiler says this (The model should say DVD too, right?):

    I don't know how hardware specific OSX installations are but you're jumping a bit from G3 to G4. I also take it you had some version of OSX on this G4 before as otherwise it may need a Firmware update.
    You can try resetting the PRAM and/or CUDA to get the computer to have a fresh look at hardware present.

  • New DVD drive help

    I just got a Mac Pro with Leopard it has one super drive . I added a second Pioneer DVR-112D. The drive opens and closes properly with the eject key. When I insert any disk. It ejects it after 4 or 5 seconds. The firmware of the drive is 1.21. I have the drive configured to be a slave. That is the only dip switch set.
    Anyone have an idea how I can get ti to read a disk. Thanks in advance

    Fixed. Thanks

  • Adobe Elements 12 not recognizing DVD drive, Help please!!

    In my Adobe Elements 12 for some reason when I go to burn, it saying no burners detected. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how can it be fixed. Thank you so much in advance.

    cricketsw08
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? Please do so.
    Assuming a Windows compute for now.
    Is this "no burner found" situation described as "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now"?
    If it has worked before, then I would ask
    1. Do you have iTunes on your computer? Have you recently updated it?
    If so, you might consider uninstalling both Premiere Elements 12 and iTunes, and then reinstalling only Premiere Elements 12. I would go through the scenario
    1. Uninstall Premiere Elements 12 and iTunes via Control Panel
    2. Do a ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    3. Reinstall of Premiere Elements 12 only.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • Windows 2012 answer file and DVD drive letter

    Hi
    my question is about applying unattend XML file into a Wim file. I have read other thread here but still I  can't get it to work. so here is the situation:
    I have installed windows 2012  then I have SYSPREPed it and then I created a WIM file with DISM tool and then I have a very simple answer file. I use DISM to mount the image and then use DISM /apply-unattend to push my answerfile into my WIM file. now
    the issue is, when I load this image into a VM using DISM tool, everything goes fine and when the server comes up for the first time I see the language setting page asking for "Country or region" and "App Language" and "keyboard layout"
    when I hit next , it asks for license agreement and after confirming that one, I can login to windows. How I can hide those 2 windows. my small answer files is :

    can somebody please let me know what am I doing wrong? I was assuming after applying unattanded xml file, when I do DISM /apply-image it gonna use my answer file....
    I have one more question as well:
    in 2012, I change DVD drive letter from D to Z and then I sysprep it. in target VM when I load my image, DVD drive is D again.
    I guess when sysprep generalize everything, DVD drive get detected again and windows assign first available letter to it. my second question is : is there any way to make drive letter setting stays the same in target computer?
    Your help is much appreciated!

    Hi,
    Where did you put the answer file? Windows has several places to check the files, you can refer to the following article, notice Implicit Answer File Search Order.
    Windows Setup Automation Overview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh824950.aspx
    For DVD drive letter, I think you can assign it via a script with diskpart command:
    Assign, change, or remove a drive letter
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/cc757491(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_CMD
    Include a Custom Script in a Windows PE Image

    Hope this helps.

  • HP DV9500 DVD drive not working

    My dvd drive will not read certain disks. It has been like this for a few months now, but it normally reads retail discs (games and Operating systems). Now it wont read Dragon age. the disk is in good condition, but it only shows the empty icon for the dvd drive and when I try to open it, it only says there is no disk. Drivers say they do not need to be updated when prompted from device manager and there is no repair for it on the health center.

    Finally i found this post and it worked.
    RE: I know this is a really old post but I found a solution for my computer that I didn't find on the internet.  My DVD drive wouldn't show up in the device manager either.  I tried drivers, deleted the upper and lower registry files...changing dvd drives...I tried everything I could find on the internet to fix this problem..and nothing worked.  Today I download MagicISO and MagicDisc to burn an .iso image...I guess the virtual drive installed a driver when I installed MagicDisc...my DVD burner is working now and showing up in the device manager as well as my virtual drive and I am running Windows 7 on a DV9000 HP pavillion notebook.  I hope anyone else reading this with this problem is able to solve thier issue with this solution. I have been searching for months!!!  GoodLuck!

  • Hp DVD Drive Locker! Help Please

    hi guys:
    will I tried to clean up my notebooks dvd drive. i made a mistake while closing it, idk where, and the issue is it doesn't close (lock) when i close it, help please, and thanks
    here is a video i made for a better understanding
    http://youtu.be/j0hMz_SWq8c

    Ok, I didn't realise that you never found the DVDPlayback.framework folder, the way you answered my post, I just predumed that you had.
    The Mavericks version may or may not be differenect to the Lion version you have. I don't know. However, there is more to the folder than just this one file. How they all work and what outside looks into this folder, again I don't know, but I would expect these to be contributing to your issues.
    I don't know why you bothered to download a separate player, especially a blue-ray, but you may as well delete it as it is now help to you.
    The initialization error, is the same one I would normally see when the DVDPlayback file was still set to internal. I suspect that you are getting the error, because of other issues with the framework.
    No, I will not email my framework files to you, as again I have no idea if they would even be any use to you, plus, I just don't want to.
    You have to have the correct DVDPlayback.framework on you computer. I stongly suggest that you go to the Mac App Store, to your Purchases tab and download the full installer of OS X Mavericks. This is a large 5GB file and will fully reinstall the operating system onto you computer. It SHOULD leave all your data intact, but backup first, to be sure. If this framework is missing, you may have others too.
    Once you downloaded the OS X installer and installed, make the changes to the DVDPlayback files as before, make sure System Preferences > CDs & DVDs is set to 'When you insert a video DVD: Open DVD Player' is set, and you should be right to watch DVD movies.
