New LG DVD writer wont work with XP 32 SP3

I'm experiencing a driver problem while trying to get my new LG DVD writer to work. I have XP (sp3) which uses a Radeon 8500 video card. Nothing I do enables the DVD writer to work. suggestions?

Just because you bought a dvd player/r/r. does not mean it will burn dvd`s. You have to have the driver/software to accomplish this.
Example: I bought a new Memorex cdrom/dvd/writer/rewriter when my old cd rom went out. but it did not come with the software/drivers to actually play or burn /write dvds.
Hope this helps

Dvd drive not worked properly

i have hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my dvd drive that's all.

tcrite,
Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, 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.

DP-K

I have lost the password and the DVD is not working on my old mac G4 500mhz, how can I get back my password?

I have lost my password and the DVD is not working on my old mac desktop G4 500mhz. I have tried use the boot up disk to change the admin password. But the DVD did not work. ( I did not touch this machine for years.) But i need retreive something , so I have tried the shell script in the terminal
1. fsck-y and the mount-uw to try to change and find the service directory's plist to change the password. But after I get the mount -uw, it show illegal option message.
What I can do now to solve this problem? in shell script or any other way?

Hi,
A DVD drive that is not working after many years not used:
most probably dust on the little laser lens.
Take the drive out and if you can reach this lens: clean it with pure alcohol on Q-Tip.
Many people throw away cd or dvd players all the time because they stopped working, and very often it can easily be fixed by cleaning this lens.
I used to have a G5, where I couldn't access that lens. It was very sensitive to dust.
I have fixed it several times with compressed air. One time I didn't have canned air, but a bikepump did the trick.
If you have another mac, I'd try to access the G4 internal disk with firewire target disk mode.
good luck

Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?

Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?
There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.
Is my only option to open up the iMac and get the jammed disc out?
Thanks

Problem solved - I posted on the general Tiger Discussions as well.
I had the wrong machine started in Target Firewire mode.

DVD writer stoped working

Hi,if anybody can help me, my DVD writer stoped working in Satellite A135-S2276 jast as I was installing new window vista.

I hope someone has some ideas. I have a Satellite A105-S4334, and the DVD-RW has disappeared from "My Computer". Numerous attempts to reload the driver produces message "Unable to load the driver, it may be corrupted". Replaced hardware , but no change. Also the computer recognizes my thumb drive, but just prompts "load disc". Help!

DVD Writer not available under Limited User account

Hi
In one of our computers, with Encore CS3 installed and a Pioneer DVD Writer (with functional ASPI layer), I have the following problem :
If I try to export a project to DVD burning, the writer is not available, but if I modify the account of the user to set it as an administrator, the writer appears on the DVD Export window.
Can you help me ?

I installed Nero Burning Rights to give rights to Everyone and changed writer drive letter to first available letter (writer + reader on the same computer) and it works !

What disks DVD+R not working???

I have a g5 late 2006 the fmc says 2124, looking at it says imac cd. but when im tryin to use a dvd r its not working, does it have issues with some manufactors or dont they work? Can it use duel layers im getting leopard and curious how on put 7.7gig on a disk and install it

From your information and off one website's specs. I get you have a hybrid DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive. Currently it doesn't look like you can write to any format DVD. If you want to write to DL you will need to buy a superdrive that can write to DL.
To really resolve the potential capabilities of your optical drive I suggest you get the information for the drive from System Profiler.

Hello,
I strongly suspect that you need to change 'ide' to 'pata' in your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
#HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
Then recreate with:
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img

LG external dvd writer stopped working

Hi, I have an LG GSA-E40N external dvd writer connected to my eMac via usb2.
It was working fine from new at the beginning of June until the other day when I upgraded from 10.4.3 to 10.4.10. Now, my eMac won't recognise the LG drive at all in either the powered usb2 hub it was connected to originally or when connected direct to the computer - shows nothing connected to that port when it's plugged into the computer.
I took it back to the shop where, unsurprisingly, it worked straight away with a Windows system so it's not a leads problem.
So the obvious answer seems to be the upgrade to 10.4.10 broke support for the writer somehow but the question is, is there a way to get my eMac to work with this LG writer again under 10.4.10?

thewiccaman,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
There have been a number of reports of people having problems with USB or Firewire access to external drives after updating to 10.4.10 (balanced against reports of previously unusable drives that now work, not that that's of any consolation to you). It appears that some of the 'minor' tweaks Apple included in 10.4.10 to more closely match the published USB and Firewire standards cause problems with manufacturer's devices that are themselves slightly off the standards.
Although external DVDs should be recognized in 10.4 without any additional software, you can try checking the LG website for any mention of firmware or driver updates for your particular model drive.
You may want to resort to dropping down to 10.4.9 (while waiting to see if Apple releases a 10.4.11). Kappy describes how to downgrade the OS in this post. Ypu'll want this link as well: OS X Update Combo 10.4.9 (PPC)

What external DVD writer would work with Toshiba LX830?

Trying to connect an external DVD writer to Toshiba LX830 via USB.
Nothing will work - tried 3 writers and different software.
Does it matter that all the writers are USB 2.0 and the 830 is USB 3.0?
The best I've got is to 3%, then it just sits there.
Can anyone recommend an external writer that WILL work with the 830?

Hi
Did you try to connect this external CD/DVD drive to all available USB ports?
As far as I know the Toshiba LX830 All in one computer supports 6 USB ports and two of these USB ports support ultra-fast USB 3.0 standard.
So even if the external USB ODD (optical disk drive) would not support USB 3.0, it should work in connection with the other 4 USB 2.0 ports

DVD Burner not working on iBook

I have a G3 PowerBook (Pismo) and I am running OS X 10.4.4. I use an external Firewire enclosure with an HP DVD Writer 200i. Everything works flawlessly. Today, a friend of mine wanted to use the drive on an iBook to burn a movie from iDVD. I plugged it in via Firewire on the iBook and nothing happens. The drive does not show up in the System Profiler at all. Under Firewire it just says supports up to 400 MBits or whatever, doesn't even say that there's a Firewire device attatched.
This has left my stumpped. The iBook is running OS X 10.4.4 as is my Pismo. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this strange problem.

Any one have any suggestions?

Optical DVD drive not working properly: HP notebook g61

Game disks and dvd movie disks not working consistently. Sometimes detected as empty dvd disk and asks if I want to burn to the disk. Other times does not read that there is a disk in the drive. Computer is about one month old. On one of my game disks, I have to reinsert 4 or 5 times before it will read properly. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you use the disk drive a lot. Before we panic and recommend a new drive, try a DVD lens cleaner you can pick up at any place that sells a lot of DVDs, like even WalMart. Run the cleaner disk and see if that helps.
