HP dvd1040 drivers/firmware needed

I have a HP dvd1040 external dvd rom that is not recognized by my PC or Laptop. It worked good all along, until now. I was wondering if drivers are missing and that is causing the problem? If so where could I download ...free? Help would be appreciated,

"Not worth the trouble. Scrap that old pc. You are wasting time equivalent to the value of a new system many times over as the weeks go by."
You're assuming he has the cash available to buy a new system, and that the system he has is a prebuilt rather than something he built himself. That 1040 was available from many places as an OEM part for DIY builds. That's how I got both of mine, from Newegg. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827140025)
To 1011sl,
I eventually got windows to recognize mine again, as I eventually found the Nero software disk that was mentioned earlier in the thread. I would definitely try to find that, or otherwise try to obtain a copy.
I don't know if the trial version of the newest Nero software would work, or if the shareware/adware versions of Nero 7, etc.. would work either. Looking at the disk I have, there are installation instructions for the actual drive itself, which I would imagine are absent in the non HP branded versions of Nero. You will likely need the actual install disk itself.

New drivers / firmware for CDRW? and which one do i have?

hi, i have the Dragonwriter, the sticker on it says made in June 2002. It reports during startup, and in Device Manageras teh CD-RW MS-8340 firmware version 100d. It also says the driver is from Microsoft 4-23-99, but then goes on to say no driver is loaded or required for this device.
Very weird.
I can't yet find any update files on the MSI site ... i found a description of the 8340 which is listed as having a writing speed of 48x ... but mine is more like the CR-40, as it only has 40x according to the label on the box and front of the burner. So shouldn't my drive be reporting something other than 8340?
In any event, the Nero 5.5 s that came with the drive only lets me burn at up to 32x ! Have i been ripped off somehow?
so i'm all confused, can someone please set me straight as to if i need to upgrade or change my drivers/firmware/bios etc? And is it Nero's fault or my drives fault that i can't get the option to write at 40x?
thanks!

thanks guys! yes, now that i've put a 40x disc in the drive, it is indeed now giving me the option to burn at that speed!
i still need to sort out a problem with the firmware updater. This is what it spits out:
Detecting CD-ROM drives (check 2 IDE cables, 4 ports)
Checking IDE #1 ok
Checking IDE #2 ok
No CD-ROM drive are detected
that seems weird eh? I most certainly do have my cd-rw on Secondary Master, and cd-r on Secondary Slave. Perhaps is this the stupid message it returns with if the firmware doesn't need updating?
btw, how to know what firmware i have? It says 'firmware revision 100d' in Device Mangler, if that is the correct one. Does anyone know to what version the vow-dos.exe updater is set to update to?
cheers,
charlie

Haven't bought the 40X Verbatims yet, so can't say if it burns full speed with rated 40X media ?( but it SHOULD work

- Turn off keyboard LED in S3.
--Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
(This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
flashed.)
3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
4. Type "", then press ENTER
5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
Drivers & Needed Files:
(Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
(Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
*NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
(The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
(The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

The installer still reccomends to install it beforehand for full USB 2.0 functionality... I would have put what you said in there but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
oh. IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed. So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal. It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

Can anyone help me find a list of the ESSENTIAL drivers I need for a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065?

Long story short: My Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065 won’t boot.
♥ I tried the Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Recovery Disk.
♥ I tried the Toshiba Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM Recovery Environment
♥ I tried turning off the computer & holding down “0” until it beeps & enters the Recovery Partition.
♥ I tried turning off the computer & F8 to enter the Recovery Partition.
I've tried everything that anyone has told me to do...
So I “acquired” a Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM & tried to install from scratch when the message “No drivers found. Please insert/search for drivers to install before proceeding” came up or something close to that.
I need to reinstall Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM and the OEM disk I have isn't Toshiba Specific so it is asking for Drivers in order to install. Can anyone help me locate a list of the SPECIFIC DRIVERS I need to just get the OS in?
I've been to the Download Page for Satellite A665-S6065 but there are so many duplicate drivers, I'd be downloading all night!
[admin edit for Terms of Service violation]

The system is under warranty.
Send it in for repair.

Dell U2412M as an external display for my MacBook Pro mid 2008, the clarity of fonts are absolutely unimpressive. The settings do not detect the Dell U2412M (which is grayed out), are there any drivers that need to be installed ?

I have posted this annoying Robles to bugreport.apple.com. Hope I can get locution (although Apple normally will not respond):
On a software name Appfresh, it alerted me to update my MBPr 15 inches running latest OSX 10.8.2, with Chinese Word List Update 1.2. When I clicked on Software Pdate, app Store return No update available.
My system have Chinese Word List Update 1.0 installed, and on October 5, 2012, Chinese Word List Update 1.1 was released by Apple, as alerted through AppFresh. However, this update never get updated on m system. I have to manually download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg from reviews.cnet.com/macfixit and install it manually. By doing so, I have Chinese Word List Update 1.1 on my system.
The same problem occurred again today on November 5, 2012, where Chinese Word List Update is released by Apple. again, it fail to update from Software Update menu.
Can you please:
1. Explain why this problem occurred. This is so annoying.
2. Advise me how can I get this Chinese Word List Date to update to version 1.2. Can you please send me the chinesewordlistupdate.pkg for version 1,2 so that I can manually install it on my system?
3. How can I prevent similar problem with he subsequent version?
Why Apple don't make this update standard as other update?
Support please. Thank for response in advance

HELPPPPP,what kind of undate is that???? ,
what will we do?

Not sure what drivers I need.

Not sure what drivers I need.5 I have what I believe to be a Sound Blaster X-Fi MB card, and I'm not sure what drivers I need to install. The reason I believe it to be an X-Fi MB is because ) I am running Sound Blaster's X-Fi software package by default and have not changed anything on the computer, and 2) it is obviously built into the motherboard since it does not have its own card slot. However, when I go into device manger, the only thing that regesters under audio devices is ATI HDMI audio (I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 that came with my Gateway FX6800) and Realtek High Definition Audio. I don't know why my actual sound card doesn't register as what it is to my computer, but it is a model with six 3.5 mm audio jacks, and it is in the rear of the computer, while every non-MB version I've ever seen has only 5 or less. This is confusing the holy crap out of me, since I don't know what drivers I should download. Is this something that Gateway has to update itself, or do I have to download the drivers for the audio card seperately? I'm very confused here, and I sure hope someone can [email protected]

Umm... yeah. The link you provided is pretty much useless to me. A 30 day trial for software I already have? All there is to that that I would actually want is the files for the drivers. The rest of what's on that page doesn't adress my current situation. Let me clarify WHAT I need. I need the DRIVERS. Not the updated software in a trial version. Also, if you were referring to the driver below it... that's a no-go either. I did mention this is a legacy (motherboard) sound card, did I not? And that it came with the FX6800? If you would've done your research, you'd realize that the link you gave me is truly useless, since I cannot reinstall the X-Fi MB software, it was pre-installed WITH the computer. But is there anyway to just download the driver only and somehow reinitialize the software with just a reboot? If not, then this link is rubbish. I should, perhaps, also clarify WHY I want the updated drivers. I am an avid fan of Sony ACID, and I have an official copy that I paid for. And whenever I use ACID, the drum kits never work properly. They'll sound like an organ, or a piano, or whatever, but they won't sound like drums. What can I do to fix this? Will updating to newer drivers solve this problem at all? I would assume that the only part of the computer that can adress this issue IS the sound card, and that's why I want an updated driver set. So to be frank, what I really need is a solution to this problem; if you could give me an answer, I would be eternally gratefull to [email protected]

What DVDs are this ?
If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

What Drivers Are Needed?

I just upgraded my T61 laptop to Windows 7 Professional. The system now informs me that I need to update three drivers: Base System Device, Base System Device and PCI Memory Controller. Nothing like that is listed on the Lenovo Driver Download page. Can someone please tell me which drivers I need to download to make my T61 operate properly in Win7?

Hello,
These sound like device drivers for your ThinkPad's system board. The easiest way to get them installed—along with any other missing ThinkPad-specific drivers and software—would be to install Lenovo's ThinkVantage System Update program, which will examine the ThinkPad and automatically download anything that's missing.

What SW and/or Drivers are needed to use my Samsung DVD+/-RW Imagewriter

Fresh install of OSX 10.3.9 on a PowerMac G4.
Added a Samsung SH-W162C 16x DVD±RW IDE Internal Drive.
I then installed the LaCie DiscRecording 1.21 drivers and the the following patch: LaCie DiscRecording Support 1.22 for Mac OS X 10.3.2 or later.
I then tried to burn an iMovie from iDVD and got the dreaded multiplex error.
Here is my question: Do I need to install Toast in order to burn DVDs or should OSX 10.3.9 allow me to burn DVDs from iDVD without Toast?

Have you installed Patchburn?
http://www.patchburn.de/
It might be the same thing as the LaCie "driver" but there is no real "driver". It is built into X and the X applications. Patchburn makes your mac think that just about any burner is an Apple branded Superburner. I don't know what the LaCie "driver" does.
Dual layer support will require Toast or Tiger. Panther does not have dual layer support. But if all you want to do is use imovie and single layer then you don't need Toast.

Stor.e TV not working (firmware needed if posible)

I recently bought a Store TV 1.5 tb and as it was not working for Ubuntu I formated it and made it fat 32. Now it's not working on my tv, when I plug it, in the background of the original menu appears but not the folders or any other option. If I press config. on the remote I can change video or sound configurations but that's it.
If someone knows any way to repair it please help me.
I would also need if possible the original firmware or all the original files inside the device, including hidden folders.
Thank You

I don't have this HDD but the situation is complicated. If there is some firmware update it must be available on Toshiba download page.
I don't know what to say but maybe you should contact Toshiba service.
I mean they have access to Toshiba database and I think they can help you with all this.

HT2368 Hello, I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware, need help. Thanks

Hello,
I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.5
Need your help.
Thanks

Also, according the the 1.4 update page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL974
It will update the Boot ROM version (on MB 5,1) to MB51.007D.003.
Yet I have (MB 5,1) Boot ROM version MB51.007D.B03. Weird again!
What a mess Apple. Considering how important firmware updates are you'd think they could make this a little clearer.
Anyways, again, I don't think we need it.

Windows 7 and 8.1 drivers firmware - on MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

I have a MacBookPro8,2 1.0 - 15" - I purchased in March 2011. I have been using bootcamp 5.0 (upgrading now to 5.1) and running Windows 7.
Two questions:
1. what is the best way to know if I have the correct firmware and drivers for this computer?
2. and does bootcamp support windows 8.1? thunderbolt display... others

pushyourmind,
If you’re up-to-date with Software Update, then you have the correct firmware installed. If you’re running 32-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 contains the correct drivers; if you’re running 64-bit Windows 7, then Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 contains the correct drivers. Which ever support software corresponds to your version of Windows 7, try downloading the corresponding .zip archive and following the installation instructions on the corresponding link above when booted in Windows.
Boot Camp 5.1 supports Windows 8.1 on your model MacBook Pro if you’re running OS X 10.8.3 or newer. Earlier versions of Boot Camp and older versions of OS X don’t support Windows 8.1 in Boot Camp on your model MacBook Pro.
