Compatable DVD Drive w/DVD Studio Pro 4

Does anyone have a list of compatable dual layer dvd drives that DVD Studio Pro 4 supports. I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-111D. And my DVD SP 4 doesn't recognize it when I try to format/build/burn a dvd. Anyone got any info on this problem.
(I am able to burn dvds with Toast, so my Mac recognizes it, but just not Studio Pro 4.)

Update to Tiger, and it shouldn't be a problem.
10.2 is nearly three OS version old.
Otherwise try patchburn.de

HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's

My HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's.
When I insert a CD, the drive tries very hard to read the CD but gives up after about a minute.
I get no error message. I do not see the Auto play message.
Windows Explorer does not recognize the DVD drive.
When I insert a DVD, I get the Autoplay menu, Windows Explorer recognize the drive and the DVD. I can play the DVD using any number of Video players.
I would welcome advice relating this problem.

your HP Pavilion needs a new DVD driver. I ran into many problems such as this when troubleshooting computers in school.
A DVD drive should play CD at any time: While a CD driver will not play a DVD disc. Do not think there is a problem with sofware because it will only throw your troubleshooting skills out the window and it will confuse you.

DVD Drive broken on Macbook Pro. Want to restore laptop to its original state.

Hi, I want to restore my macbook pro to its default state. My dvd drive does not work, but I do have the discs that came with it. Is there a way to reinstall using an external dvd drive?

do I just plug in the external and it will automatically pop up?
you will want a ODD that supports dual-layer DVDs such as this one. it will not pop-up unless a CD/DVD is inserted but will be selectable as source/destination in apps such as Toast, iDVD, etc.

CD or DVD drives for a sat pro 6000

any one know if i can put a Model number SD-C2302 dvd player in to a sat pro 6000 lab top or no of any that i can put in please?

Hi Adrian,
You are mostly correct in your statement about CD/DVD drives for your notebook. However, it is important that you only buy drives with dimensions similar to your current model.
Generally CD/DVD drives come in two varieties, those destined for tower type installation and those destined for notebooks. The latter are usually designated as 'slim' or 'slimfit'.
To install the new drive you usually need to unscrew and remove any fitting brackets used to anchor your drive to your notebook together with any plastic trim components. These will then need to be attached to your new drive.
Toshiba notebooks use various drives (Toshiba, TEAC, Mat****a, etc.) so you will generally have a reasonably wide variety to choose from.
Finally, you may need to download drivers for your new drive if none are provided or if your purchase an OEM version. These can be obtained from the drive manufacturers web-site.

IBook G4 dvd drive into a MacBook Pro?

I have a 2006 model MacBook Pro with a faulty dvd drive. My kids use this machine to play games that require a dvd player. I do have 3-4 iBook G4s in the attic just gathering dust. Is it possible to remove the dvd drive from the iBook and put into the MacBook pro?
Has anyone tried it? Will it work?

What I mean by faulty is that it is dead. The optical drive will not pull in any CDs at all. It seems like something is blocking the drive, so there may be a mechanical part that just is not moving.
An external drive is an option, but I just like to have stuff working.
The iBok drive seems to be thicker, si it won't fit I think. But there's always eBay...

Windows Vista will not recognize the dvd drive in my Mac Pro

After running windows updates, Windows Vista can no longer find the drivers for the dvd drive. Any suggestions?

Thank goodness for restore points. That was all I needed to do (system repair, do you want to restore to last check point) to be up and running.
I found my problem documented as an issue with Samsung SATA + Windows 7, and my X58. Curious, as moving a working system from one motherboard to another would always end up with Samsung SATA DVD not working, but LG is fine... so looks like time to buy another SATA DVD.
This from /technet.microsoft.com exactly describes the issue:
*CD/DVDRW from TSSTCorp (Samsung) drive, after install W7 without any problem not recognized...* | Modified on 9/9/2009 4:48 PM by lmarcelo
CD/DVD/rw do not respond on the Windows 7 Professional RC 32 bit, I have an Intel G35 desktop board, and 2.3 Ghz. CPU Intel Dual-Core 2, with sata optical drive. (From Samsung) Works fine in the raw clean install, but after the second reboot in the device manager appears with a yellow triangle, so I can't read nor write any CD or DVD.
I did this several times, (Format and install), even with a new CD drive, but it's always the same. Using a 160 Gb. WD hard disk, and alternated with a 400 Gb Samsung Sata HD make no difference at all.
Problem: Can't do anything with CD-DVD drive. (Messagge in the Device System General tab Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)).
By the way, this configuration was working fine in XP Pro. SP3. Any hint? clue? same problem? any one?

Replacement CD/DVD Drive for 2008 Mac Pro?

I need to purchase a new optical drive for my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8 GHz Quad-Core desktop computer. I checked OWC, but they're out of stock. I currently have a Samsung SH-S222L, which I absolutely hate–mainly because the heads access the drive every 5 minutes or so. Very, very annoying.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Psst ! Here's a little tip for you. The drive used in Mac Pro's isn't exclusive to the mac. It's an Optiarc model
and I believe you can use any cd/dvd burning drive with an ATAPI plug on the back, Pc or Mac, and chances are it'll work fine, I used a Lite-On drive I snagged from a dying PC in my Mac pro 3,1 as my 2nd dvd drive
and it worked fine for a few years. Replacing it isn't that hard either. There are guides on Youtube or other places that show you how to do it. Just remember to remove the little lip on the front of the dvd drawer before you install it. I don't know about specific brands, but Pioneer seems fine, and I'm sure there are others that are fine, too. macsales might help you out. I know what it's like having to haul your Mac pro into your local Mac place--a pain in the butt, right? and then you have to wait...and wait...
I think you can can do this....
good luck

Re: I need to change the CD/DVD drive in my Satellite Pro P200

Hi,
I need to change the DVDRW unit in my Satellite Pro P200, but I'dont know extract the old unit.
Anybody help me??
Thanks.
(Sorry for my english :S ).

To remove the optical drive module, you need to remove the battery and secondary HDD cover first.
In the middle of the bottom cover you would find an black screw which secures the CD/DVD drive.
This screw has to be removed.
In the secondary HDD bay you will find an bracket.
Use your hand to push the module bracket and then slide the module from the bay.
Thats all!
But once again; be careful and if you have no experience, get in contact with an notebook technician!

The dvd drive in my macbook pro will not read any disk.

The dvd is a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868. The disks (CD or DVD) all show up as blank disks. Some will not eject. Some will try to run. I can hear it try to access the disk but it never gets up to speed. Is there some way to check the drive to see what the problem is?

It's probable that you have a bad DVD drive. You can take it to an Apple Genius to see if they can fix or repair it (if it's under warranty). If it isn't, you can replace the DVD drive with a hard drive or a new Super Drive by yourself (it's a tiny bit technical). If you're still on warranty or have the extended AppleCare, you can get it fixed.
