DVD drive drivers for HP dv6-6195sp

I recently formatted my HP Pavilion dv6-6195sp and installed Windows 7 Professional 64bit. Now, everything was ok until I noticed the system hadn't recognized the DVD drive. I went to the HP support site and searched the drivers for my computer and everything else was there, just not the drivers for the DVD drive. I called the customer support for my country and the lady there had no clue about what I was talking about and what was the solution for my problem. Anyone can give me some help?

Thanks for your quick reply.
I remembered in the meantime that about two weeks ago I sent my computer for a thorough internal clean up, and it might have happened that the technician accidentaly disconnected the cables that connect the DVD drive to the board. Now that I think of it, I remember using the DVD drive somewhere between the time I formatted the hard drive and the day I sent the computer for a clean up. I will head down to the store on Monday (since it is closed now) and see what I can find. If everything is plugged in correctly, I'll try your solution and come back for some feedback.
Again, thank you for your help.

CD/DVD Drive Drivers for HP Pavilion DV7-4152si

Hi guys
I have a HP Pavilion DV7-4152si and i am trying to reinstall windows on a completely new HDD.
My previous HDD blew up and i never made a recovery disk.
i tried to get the CD/DVD Drive driver on HP's website but cant find anyhing of te sort could somebody please advise me on what to do.

That usually indicates that the DVD drive has an issue.
You can try updating the firmware to try to resolve the issue, but that usually does not help. You have an older notebook and unfortunately the DVD drive has gone south.
I recommend:
Testing your notebook's DVD drive by using a live version of Ubuntu on a usb flash drive.
Using an external usb DVD drive or the less expensive solution of creating a usb Windows installer. I usually use the Microsoft store's Windows download\usb tool to do that. the useage instructions and a link to the tool are here.

Hi,
The driver for the CD/DVD drive is supplied by the Windows operating system. If you having problems with the drive, try the following.
Run the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it isn't, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

HI,
did your friend installed the XP from a MS Cd or from the Toshiba recovery CD?
At my Toshiba notebook the autoplay section is also setted to Music file and works properly!
When did this failure occured for the first time? Did you used the MS System recovery option at Start - Accessories - system prog. - System recovery
Perhaps the backsetting of your system solve the problem!
You can also check if a firmware update is available for your drive! (If it is a Toshiba drive go to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home

DVD-RW drivers for Windows XP64

I am going to buy DVD - RW - TEAC DV-W512G or ASUS DRW-1604P. Please advise if I need special driver for these DVD ROMs when I use Windows XP64 bit edition? In the web sites I can see drivers for Win XP 32 bits only. If so, where can I download them.

How's your money supply? And what are you going to use the array for?
If (a) money is not a limiting factor and/or (b) you want the best raid performance for e.g. A/V editing then there's no contest - there are no other SATA drives that come anywhere near the 74GB WD Raptors. They are blindingly fast (beat the pants off same speed SCSI drives), quiet, reliable. The 36GB's are similar but not quite so quiet since the bearing mechanism is a bit different.
Other than that there are some new Hitachis that have had great reviews especially because they are the biggest you can get (400GB I think), support TCQ or NCQ whatever it is and are fast, reliable & quiet - all of this I've read and not seen myself. Based on my research these would be my second choice.
Next in the pecking order for me is any other decent brand name - WD Caviar, Seagate, Maxtor, etc. You'll read bad reports about Maxtors or others but as far as I'm concerned it's all nonsense since any of these drives can fail (I've had bad Seagates and never had bad Maxtors but others have reported the opposite) and it's often difficult to separate out the blame for failures between the drives & the chipsets. The best protection is knowing you have a good supplier who will not give you grief in the unlikely event you need to RMA them.
As for the floppy, this thread should get you going.
Good luck - I'm building mine this wekend as well.

The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and buring CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

ITunes installation made CD/DVD drive dissapear for Windows Vista

Ok, so I got a new PC last week with Windows Vista. Everything had been working just fine until today (or today I realized)that Vista stopped recognizing my CD/DVD drive. After several hours I found that the problem was caused by iTunes and some GEAR software/drivers that it uses for burning CDs. So I logged on to GEAR's website to D/L the latest drivers, installed them, but still nothing happened. I then unistalled them, rebooted and still the same... Finally, I removed manually this GEAR thing, rebooted, and my CD/DVD drive was visible and accesible again. The problem is that now iTunes cannot burn CDs because it can´t find the GEAR software.
So this is a catch-22 situation: If I uninstall and re-install iTunes, I will not be able to see my CD/DVD drive, and if I remove these GEAR stuff, then I can see it but iTunes will not burn anything!!!!
For now I´ve decided to stay like this because at least I can use some other apps to burn CDs, and I can still sync my iPod, but I would like to have a solution for this.
Anybody has seen this same problem?

Hard drive drivers for use with system repair disk

I've been through the mill with my Satellite A665 S6085...it started its life with a bad CD/DVD drive in the really dark customer service days and spent more of the first two months of life in the shop waiting for the arrival of a new drive than it did in my hands. Then the CD/DVD failed just at the end of the warranty period (and Toshiba replaced it a second time very quickly, and without charge!)
Since then it has been working reasonably well, but within the last few weeks it has gotten really sluggish (it was taking about 20 minutes to completely power up), and last week refused to start at all (repeated start-up failures). I created a system repair disk from another laptop we have, managed to get it to start up - but accompanied by an even more dramatic slow down.
I was unable to create an image of the system, but I did manage in safe mode to copy all but about 20 unimportant files (whew!.), and was working on doing what I could to get it spiffied up enough to create a system image. Unfortunately, in the middle of running the disk checking routine it hung. It ran for about 20 hours and got to stage 4 (16% done the 23rd file) and stopped all activity. (Prior to that time the drive light had been flashing on and off periodically - but when I had watched it with no activity for over an hour I did a hard power down . . . I know, bad idea, but it really did seem to be at a complete standstill).
It started once in safe mode then froze, and has not started since then.
When I boot from the system repair disk, the operating system doesn't come up - and the instructions are to load the hard drive drivers and try again. So the immediate question is where the heck do I find the drivers since I can't power up to determine the hard drive manufacturer (and the drivers available through the driver download portion of the Toshiba site don't seem to do the trick)?
But I'd also welcome any hints as to how to get far enough along to at least get a system image before I give up and let the professionals handle things...

Hi ! You should have created a system image a long time ago I'm tired of this thread. You seem to know all about this so why even ask for help here on the forum Good luck friend. I hope you solve your problem. I don't think I can help you an further

Any news on DVD-A drivers for Windows XP x

Love the 64 bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card. But, my DVD-A's won't play because of lack of drivers. Is this being worked on?
Thanks.

Isn't it already stated at that the 64bit driver have no support for dvd-a? Maybe that's a limitation on the card on 64bit os.

Need to buy DVD drive / Storage for my iMac Mid2011 but don't know where to start

I have an iMac mid2011, and would like to fit it with an additional dvd drive so that I don't have to mess around changing region codes from 1 to 2 and back.
Can somebody please recommend a dvd drive (better if blu-ray) compatible with iMac Mid2011? I am thinking of buying online, but I am afraid of getting the wrong thing.
I am also expanding my video library, and have considered buying a 2TB external HD, but a friend told me to better buy a NAS. So same question goes, should I stay traditional and just buy the hard drive? Which brands are most compatible with my mac? and If you'd rather buy a NAS, why should I go for it, and which brand?
Thanks so much Apple experts.
AJD

So far I've not found a single USB DVD player that didn't work with the Mac. BluRay is a bit trickier since you'll also need 3rd party software to play commercial BluRay movies because the Mac OS doesn't support BluRay.
A NAS is useful under three circumstances: 1) you want to access data from the drive when you aren't at home. 2) you have more than one computer in the household and want to share that drive with them and/or 3) you want to take advantage of RAID technology. And even here a NAS isn't the only way to accomplish this.
If none of these hold true for you then save your money and get a high quality external drive - I recommend OWC to one and all. (I have no affiliation, I'm a very satisfied customer.) You might even want to consider OWC's miniStack Max which contains both a hard drive and optical drive.

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.

DVD drive rawdisk for Virtual Box

Hello, dear Archers !
I know this not an appropriate forum for such a question, but I don't wanna register on VB's forum (I don't like how much Oracle would like to know about me ). So, here is my question.
I'm trying to use DVD drive of host system as a physical drive in guest system. I mean, using host's DVD drive directly on guest system, so guest system would see which device it really is. So, I'm trying to use this command to generate a rawdisk for this drive:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename dvd.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/cdrom
However, I'm getting this error:
VBoxManage: error: Cannot open the raw disk '/dev/cdrom': VERR_MEDIA_NOT_PRESENT
VBoxManage: error: The raw disk vmdk file was not created
Is there any chance to bypass this error ? I just wanna connect this drive to guest system, so I could be able to, for example, flash and stuff like that...

The VirtualBox application has to be installed on the boot drive I believe, however it is then definitely possible to create and store and run virtual machines on any drive.

Can Apple supply replacement DVD drives (IDE) for 2008 Mac Pros?

I have tried to find replacements for two faulty internal Superdrives on-line, with no luck.
Today I went into my local Apple Store and was advised to call with my serial number.
After calling & waiting I was told I needed to be put through to the technical department.
That turned out to be the Applcare line.
My Applecare expired a while ago & the office was closed anyway.
I haven't been able to find out directly from Apple if they can still supply replacement drives, does anyone here know (anyone actually got some)?
Please help me clear the junk of my desk and rid me of tatty plastic Samsung drives....

yeah, I think you nailed it there. technically Apple does still provide service for the 2008 Mac pro's but you'd have to take it in and wait. Your mileage may vary-As you (and I) have found out, it'd be cheaper and easier just to go out, buy a new drive, and install the darn thing yourself. Besides, Optiarc (the original drive makers) aren't in business anymore, and....yeah....you'll probably find E sata DVD drives 97% of the time, so probably go with that. I bought from MCE tech... an Atapi Blu Ray drive, which I had to buy because my superdrive bit the dust, and a new DVD burner would have cost at least 50, so, I figured why not. In a pinch, you can use an ATAPI/IDE dvd burner from a PC with no problem. Just plug 'er right in, and make sure the jumper is set to 'cable select' .. as for Pioneer, I know that OWC has the Pioneer blu-ray drive, but I haven't been able to find any plain Pioneer DVD burners, at least not around here.
So, i guess in answer to your question: technically, yes, but you'd have to bring in your mac pro and pay their prices.

DVD Drive upgrade for for clamshell

if i buy a standard DVD or even a DVD-R/RW drive for a clamshell will it work or do i have to hunt for a Apple superdrive as ican grabe a cheap drive of ebay if any will work.

Not really ...once the drive is placed into the 'harness' for the clamshell then you simply put it back together the same way you got it apart. The harness has various screw holes that line up with all the standard optical drives so that's no big deal ..sometimes though, you have to be careful as not to damage the harness when you take the old optical drive out. Like I said it's not a problem ...unless you get anxious and start tearing into things then you could run into 'fitting' issues.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/49.0.0.html
The item at the very top of this picture (from what is exposed under the keyboard) is the optical drive ...this 'holey' cheese grater type thing is part of the harness that hold the drive in place - it's this part that you'll have to be careful with...
