DVD-ROM not recognised with M/S setting

Hello, I just purchased a SD-R2412 DVD-ROM drive to replace my defunct drive (same model). However, my old drive was CSEL type and this new one is M/S. I didn't know there was differences within same models. This new drive is not recognized by Windows XP (SP2) and the second IDE controller disappear. Also, it is not possible to boot from CD, so I guess the BIOS is not recognizing the drive either.
I've seen some discussion regarding the reverse (old M/S, new CSEL) and some solutions for that case, but I haven't seen any comments on my problem.
My guess is that the drive is configured as slave and the BIOS is unable to recognize it in this position. If so, the question would be if there's a way to configure the M/S drive to act as a master.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello
It will be very interesting to know, which Toshiba unit you have. As far as I know the drive is already set to slave but I dont now about exactly position of the jumper. Nevertheless take a look on the label which is on the drive. There you can find a picture how to set the little jumper to master or slave.
Best regards

  • DVD ROM not working with Windows 8.1...I need the driver please.

    My CD/DVD/BluRay Drive is not working since I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8.1.  I really need the driver as soon as possible.  I really need the DVD/CD Drive to work.  I spent so much money getting this laptop to where it needs to be.  I bought new hard drives and everything.  Please tell me that you are going to provide a driver for Windows 8.1.

    Hi @biokimyaci
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see that you are looking for a driver for your CD/DVD or optical drive. There are no specific drivers for the optical drive they are generic Windows drivers that come as part of the operating system. Go to your Device Manager and under DVD/CD-Rom drives right click what you have there and select Uninstall. They restart your computer and Windows will automatically install the driver. What is the product number for your notebook?

  • I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?

    I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?

    For some reason OS X disks (whatever edition or flavors) that are supplied with Apple products only seem to contain a limited knowledge of available hard drives on the market at the time of thier publishing. This (rather opportunistically) creates a "Best Before" stale-OS X-software-copy situation where upgrading to or replacing a defective internal SATA hard drive with a newer, better or larger one is a largely hit and miss affair.
    If you buy the latest and greatest disk drive available for any older Mac you are likely to run into unresolvable problems making a clean re-install of your own, old edition or flavor of OS X onto any newer or larger hard drive since the OEM (gray) "OS X Install Disks" that Apple supply with retail products seem to contain only time-sensitive lists/mapings of then-known target drives that the Drive Management Tool in the then-published old "Installer Software" will support.
    Presumably new (colorful "X") retail versions of OS X (10.whatever.whatever) also contain time-limited Installers with limited knowledge of and adaptability to/compatability with a limited number of old hard drives then kicking-around on the market.
    This is especially a problem nowadays since the countless "puny old" hard drives that have been on the market are largely obsolete in a few months time, as manufacturers continue to produce larger and cheaper units, discontinuing older puny products... So if your drive fails you need an exact old (or similar familial) replacement drive for your "backup copy of OS X" to do a fresh, clean OS X re-install. Otherwise you need to purchase a new retail version of OS X, since yours is now effectively obsolete. Purchasing an old, puny drive to re-install your version.flavor of OS X to avoid buying a new version of OS X is a rather false economy.
    If you still have a working old hard drive with your old polluted 10.version.flavor of OS X still working on it you apparently must clone it with Time Machine or the newest version of Disk Utility (disk image copying) to most newer, larger drives, and a clean reinstall to such new hard drives is not possible.

  • Problem backing up library to DVD - disk not recognised

    Hi all,
    I have just tried to back up my iTunes library (approx. 7000 songs) to Sony DVD-R (for General Version 2.1 / 16X-Speed DVD-R Revision 6.0, 7 DVDs in total).
    There didn't seem to be any problem with the burning process - I am using an HP Pavilion laptop (bought in 2005) with DVD R/RW.
    When the backup was complete, I tried inserting the first DVD to check it had worked - however, nothing was recognised by iTunes (latest version - 7.3.2) and when I looked at the disc in Windows Explorer it appeared to be empty.
    However, there was no indication when I was burning the files that there was a problem - it seemed to work perfectly.
    Should I try a different brand of DVD? I tried to burn some pictures to the same kind of disk, through Windows XP, and it did not work, so it may well be that the brand of DVD is not compatible with my laptop.
    I am also considering backing up using an external hard drive - is this a reliable method? Is it just a case of copying my iTunes folder over to the external drive?
    Also, would it be a good idea to copy to an external drive in stages, to avoid corrupting files, or could I do it in one single step?
    There is no problem with my laptop (yet!), but I am keen to back this library up as I know how quickly things can change with computers!
    Many thanks for any help.

  • CD ROM / DVD Drive not recognised and virus on computer

    Can anybody help please?
    My CD ROM / DVD Drive has failed. I have tried troubleshooting etc but to no avail. The computer does not recognise I have a cd rom / dvd drive as it says it is not recognised by the registry?
    I also have a virus I cannot get rid of, this may be part of the problem (Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c) I have run numerous virus, spyware and trojan checks but there is no cure yet?
    I tried system recovery but it will not let me recover to a previous date.
    I cannot use my recovery disc because the computer does not recognise the drive. A catch 22 situation.
    Can anyone offer any advice other than throw it out of the window?
    Help from anyone would be much appreciated.
    Regards

    HI Paul,
    I think your first priority will be to remove the virus from your notebook. The following link contains details of the virus :-
    http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.desktophijack.html
    Is you CD-ROM shown in the BIOS ? If so then set it to be the first selectable boot device and you should then be able to load your recovery disk and reboot from it.

  • SP2100 CD-ROM not recognised

    Suddenly my CD-ROM (Teac)is not recognised anymore.
    Message in Device Manager - properties:
    Windows has loaded the driver in memory, but cannot find the device (Code 41)
    With an external DVD-writer/CD_ROM (HP)on USB and Firewire I get the same message.
    Booting fron CD is also not possible.
    Any suggestions?
    Paul

    Hi,
    Code 41 means that the driver was successfully installed but the hardware wasn't found!
    Normally the hardware is damaged with this error message, but your external Drive got the same message!
    So there is a deeper problem with the CD drive support!
    If you have setted a System restore point before the failure occure for the first time, start the system restore tool and go back to this point!
    Then it should work again! Otherwise post again!
    Bye

  • Macbook-DVD Rom not working

    My Macbook Dvd rom has stopped working. It is not reading any DVDs or CDs. When I insert a DVD it tries to read it but after a minute or two it spits it out. I don't know what the problem is? Even though the system profiler shows it working fine and also the disk utility. On vista side it is the same problem. Please advise what I should do?

    Hi,
    You could order a replacement drive and install the drive yourself. You can Google search for MacBook optical drives and find suppliers. Probably the best do-it-yourself directions for working on your MacBook can be found at http://www.ifixit.com. It is not too difficult as long as you have a good set of miniature screwdrivers and tweezers or needle nose pliers. Expect to spend between $50 and $200 depending on the drive speed rating and vendor from whom you purchase a SuperDrive.
    If you don't need to burn DVDs, you could replace the SuperDrive with a Combo Drive, which seems to be a much more rugged device.
    The final option is to simply disregard the internal drive and use an external device. As long as you are running OS X 10.4.2 or newer, most external CD/DVD burners are suported without needing to use additional software. If you purchase a well known brand, it should be OK. I have an internal Combo Drive and use an external Sony DRU-120A, and it works well. I recommend checking on Google to verify OS X support before purchasing an external drive.
    Best wishes,
    Bill

  • DVD Device not recognised as a DVD Device

    Hi,
    I am having a very annoying problem.
    Since installing arch (quite a while ago) I have not been able to use my DVD device for DVDs.  It is recognised as a CD-ROM only, whereas it is really a DVD reader / CD burner (not dvd burner).  I have been able to use this for reading dvds on windows, then when i used to be on ubuntu.  Arch doesn't see it properly.
    When Arch loads, i notice Universal CD Device Driver or something, version 3.20, is loaded for hdc (my device).  I think it is not recognised properly.
    I have tried manually mounting different devices, checked dmesg for any changes between reading a dvd and reading a cd (no new lines in dmesg when a dvd has been inserted).  It is really, really strange and I do not know what to do.
    Can someone please help me?  I can download the drivers for my device (windows tho) if that helps.
    Any response is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    yes I have that, no difference.  I think it is a problem with the firmware that is flashed onto the device itself, or something like that.  is there a way to flash firmwares in linux?  all the toshiba firmware installation things, or the rpc1.org stuff are all for windows.  how can i do it?
    or, if there is a way, i'd like to reset to the original firmware, is there any possibility of that?

  • Original DVD drive not recognised

    My macmini (1.83Ghz) suddenly stopped recognising its own DVD drive. No mods done to the mac mini but suddenly it does not recognise the drive. there is a movie DVD in it, which spins from time to time (for example when rebooting the mac mini or waking from sleep) but system profiler does not see a DVD drive (when i click on disc burning it shows 'No disc burning device was found. If the device is external, make sure it’s connected and turned on.' this is annoying since i cannot remove the dvd that is there nor play it.
    did anyone ever come across this? what can be done to fix it? how to eject the disc manually to see if it's the disc which is the issue?

    i did that. the mini took a long time to start but still not dvd drive on the system profiler. i don't know if related but on starting up, it also behaves funnily. after the grey apple screen with a spinning wheel below, i get a blue screen and it seems that nothing happens for ever. the only way to get back into the mini is to set it to sleep (pushing the power button does that) then waking it up. i then get a started up mini but it does not respond to mouse action (although the arrow moves, the click don't seem to have an effect and the keyboard is unresponsive (both are bluetooth). after a while though (around 2 min) they both operate correctly which is how i reply to you. this has been the case ever since the dvd drive disapeared so the two problems appear linked. the mini is running snow leoppard.
    please help me - thanks.

  • Photo DVD: Saving images to DVD-ROM not working

    When creating a photo slide show In iDVD, there is an option to save the photos to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so that viewers can download them to their own computer.
    After I created a photo slide show in iDVD, it played just fine on both the computer and on a DVD player. But when I have the DVD in my computer's super drive and I try to access any of the photos (jpeg files) that are on the DVD-ROM portion, I get an error message saying they can't be opened.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I have iLife 09 with iDVD version 7.1.2. My OS is Lion 10.7.2.

    > 8mp camera and I have the images saved in TIFF which are 22.9m in size
    That makes no sense.
    > So resolution is not an issue.
    Yes it is.
    There are 2 issues here: file format and image size/resolution.
    The best format depends upon what the print shop will accept. Often, JPEG is the only option and simply saving at the highest quality will give excellent results. If the option is available from the shop, give them a non-lossy format - TIFF is probably best.
    With image size it's all down to pixels and looking at th epixel size of your image is what matters. The "resolution" [PPI value] is simply the ratio of pixels in the image to inches on paper. So long as you PPI is at least 200 and no more than, say, 600, you are OK. Print shops operate in 2 ways:
    The expensive ones will take your image and you tell them how big you want to print and they do it.
    The cheaper ones require the image be carefully prepared to be the right size - i.e. have the PPI set so that the size in inches is right.
    In my experience, the cheaper ones, while requiring more work, often produce the best results.
    If you are in the UK, email me [colin_walls AT yahoo DOT com] and I will direct you to an excellent mail-order printer, who is cheap, reliable and produces excellent results. [I have no business connection with them, except that I'm a happy customer.]

  • A205-S5825 Dvd-Rom not working after reinstall

    My hard drive on my A205-S5825 recently failed and I took it in for repair. After a couple of weeks I got it back with a new hard drive and everything seemed fine. I went to play a disc in my rom drive and I realize it cannot be found. It's not in the peripherals list under my computer. It shows up in my device manager, and this is the info it gives me there.
    "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
    I think it might be as simple as the device driver was never installed upon my reinstall. Problem with that is Toshiba does not seem to offer the proper driver for download, they have a bunch of other stuff, but no dvd-rom drivers.
    I am running a system on Windows Vista, 32 bit I believe. The drive is a TSSTcorp TS-L632H ATA
    Has anyone experienced this problem? Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to find the driver or a possible fix?
    Solved!

    The solution in KB929461 will fix that.

  • Erratic behaviour by internal DVD-writer (not recognising discs)

    Hi,
    Earlier today I went to burn a 2 small Word files to a blank CD-RW, and ever since my iMac's internal DVD/CD-writer has been playing up.
    When it went to burn the disc, it got stuck in the preparing phase (with the moving diagonal slashes progress bar), after a long while of this I tried to cancel the burn. Unfortunately the system wouldn't respond to the cancel button being clicked so I had to Force Quit the Finder.
    Following this I was then unable to get the system to eject the disc so that I could try again. Eventually resetting the computer seemed to solve this. But ever since then the computer has been behaving erratically, including;
    - not recognising (and so ejecting) previously recognised burnt CD-RWs,
    - not recognising the original blank CD-RW,
    - not recognising other blank CD-RWs,
    - rejecting multiple blank CD-RWs in a row as faulty discs,
    - getting stuck in the burning process preparations.. again! (when it did for once actually recognise a blank disc),
    - and not recognising multiple movie DVDs.
    I did in the end get it recognise some movie DVDs again in the end, but aside from that it's still misbehaving.
    I've reset the machine multiple time, both due to problem, and simply to try to see if that'll fix it. I've also zapped the PRAM, checked the System Profiler to ensure the drive is fully recognised by the machine/OS, I've also tried leaving the machine to cool for 10 minutes, and checked the CD and DVD preferences panel. I don't have a Drive cleaner disc yet, but then the shops are closed now so I wouldn't be able to get one till tomorrow.
    Until today it's worked hitch free (aside from rejecting a few particular 'Movie DVDs' (of the correct region) for no apparent reason). I've previously been able to burn all sorts of files on to DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, without a problem. And it's hapily read all sort of different discs with different media on them.
    Thanks

    I would just get it repaired.

  • DVD ROM not recognized

    I haven't seen a discussion on this topic.
    I recently purchased an Apple DVD ROM from a third party and my system says it's not set up for the hardware.
    Whats the issue or how can I fix it?

    Oh god I'm sorry.
    this is my Beige G3. 1Ghz PowerLogix processor. Brand new Rev C logic board. OS X 10.2.8
    The drive will allow for software transfer but the 10.2 Apple DVD player gives me the error message.

  • CD and DVD roms not working

    I have just installed a 845PE Max2 motherboard and 2.4GHz Intel processor.  I have kept my CD writer and DVD from my old machine.
    The PC boots up fine but does not recognise the ROMs at all.
    Anyone any ideas what I could have done wrong?

    May be because
    1) The cable you use is a hard-drive 80- conductor cable, do not use this cable for Cd-drives, use an ATA-33 Spec cable, conductor-40 for Cd-rom drives and other drives not capabale of ata-66 or higher.
    2) The cable may not be polarised and you have put the cable round the wrong way
    3) Both of the drives could be slaves/masters/or on cable select. Choose ONE to be the master and ONE to be the slave device.
    4) You have not given the drives a power-source (by plugging them into the psu! ) )
