Hp SDRAM GT80N USB

hp DVDRAM GT80N USB will not recognize CD-R80 disks... Aren't these the CDs that EVERYTHING is supposed to recognize. I have tried a couple of different write software products (Nero - Express Burn) and they will recognize the drive but not the disk.
I don't have any filters (high or low) set in the registry.
Most of the time it will write DVD-R drives fine.
I am using TDK and MEMOREX disks, so it isn't like I am using some super cheap POS...

Hi @rmicheald ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and suggestions!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
Would you provide your exact model of HP 15 notebook?
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is this an external DVD drive connected by USB?
That particular format may not be compatible.
Here is a link to a yahoo answer that may help. What are CDR - 80 CD discs used for?

Safari crashes and disconnects

Problem potpourri
1 - Safari crashes on some web sites.
A few things which have been done. Have reinstalled Mac software, Appleworks 6. Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2. Computer advises unable to upgrade Safari on my machine.
Am thinking about erasing the Mac hard drive and starting over. Also am contemplating the purchase of another modem because I have an iMac 1.83 GHz intel core Duo without a modem and is not used online.
There is no rush on this junk. Am in the middle of my eighth decade and this computer is used for my amusement and not for profit.
Want to thank all of the correspondents to this forum for their help. Special thanks to those that ask the stupid questions because they save me the trouble of asking the questions. Those that ask stupid questions, remember, there is a curmudgeon that is very thankful that you asked.
If this drivel is in the wrong forum please accept my apology and TS. For an explanation of TS ask an Army veteran that served in 1954.

Hi Mr Jensen,
By the sounds of things, the Safari on your version of OS X is simply a bit on the old side. Many sites these days use bits of code that cause Safari problems. Unfortunately Apple are no longer supporting Safari for OS X 10.3 so your only real option is to use another web browser (or upgrade to a newer version of OS X if you really want to keep using Safari).
The most up-to-date browser available for OS X these days is [Camino|www.caminobrowser.org]. Give that a try.
Good luck!

Full ECC support?

Do the Nvidia Nforce3-250 motherboards like the K8N Neo2 Platinum support ECC? The manual mentions compatibility with 18 chip dimms, and that they "are compatible". ButI didn't find any mention in the manual of the ECC functionality, and the BIOS doesn't seem to have anywhere to enable/disable ECC support.
I also checked the http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php
URL, but it didn't help clarify the situation.
I'd like to assume that ECC works, but with a different manufacturer it turned out
ECC dimms worked as in the system could use the available memory, but the
ECC functionality was ignored.j
Will ECC work fully, as in single bit errors are corrected, and double bit errors
are reported?

Don't remember this now.
Anyway i have not heard of anyone that has tried it , so i guess this is still
a not confirmed issue .
What's interesting is that crutials memory selector doesn't come
up with any ECC memory for K8N Neo2 .

I would choose to trust the memory vendors , as some like theese have started to test modules on different mobos .
I have noticed that corsair has tested registered ECC with Asus SK8N with Athlon FX/opteron .But this is a NVDIA nForce 3 pro150 socket 940 board.

Want help in compiling a list of upgrades for my Quicksilver (UK)

Well my Quicksilver will be arriving in a few days and after asking a couple of questions about upgrades I'd now like to compile a list of upgrades for me to buy so I can everything with ease. I live in the UK and can you use eBay and any other website/source as long as it can get to the UK. I'd like to upgrade the following to begin with:
- Sound card
- RAM
- Graphics card
- USB 2.0 ports
- DVD drive
- PSU
- Any other good PCI cards
And the following later on:
- Hard drives
- CPU (if I feel I need to)
So can you guys help me compile a list of recommended upgrades for each component and where I can buy the parts from as long as I can get them to the UK? I'd appreciate it very much.

Hi-
Recommend not leaving the hard drive for last. Machine performance is dependant on hard drives, and the faster the better. This should be the first item on your list.
WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKB
Install maximum memory, 3x512MB PC133 DIMMs. Use only quality Mac compatible guaranteed memory.
PC133 SDRAM DIMM 512MB
Might be cheaper to buy from the US and pay VAT.
OWC 512MB PC133 CL2 2-2-2 168 Pin High Performance SDRam
A USB 2.0 PCI card does not have to be stated as Mac compatible if it has the NEC chipset.
NEC Chipset 5 Port USB 2.0 Card
Scan 5 Port PCI USB2 Card
For optical drive, recommend the Pioneer DVR-112 or the DVR-115.
Optical drives.
For graphics card, you need 4x AGP graphics, with Core Image support. You'll have to buy the 9800 Pro Mac from the US, or search eBay for an ATI Radeon 9700 or 9800 Pro (must be Mac compatible stated). Flashed PC cards (made Mac compatible) Geforce 6200, 6800GT or Ultra, or 7800GS are also available on eBay.
Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition
You don't need to upgrade the PSU.
Sound cards are only available from M-Audio, or, get a sound card in a box in the Griffin Firewave.
If you plug good external speakers into the audio out, you can get excellent sound without a card.
Recommend Harmon Kardon Soundsticks
And, finally, CPU upgrades in the UK are pretty well limited to Sonnet.

Device not recognized (NEW KIND OF PB) (Video Blaster Webcam 5)

Hello
I have a Dell Optiplex GX0, Pentium-3 730MHz, 384 SDRam, 2 USB ports, Win XP pro SP2. All are fully operational. Newest Creative Webcam driver (2002 for xp, something like that)
My webcam 5 was ok until this morning
the day before yesterday: ok
yesterday : ok ----------- and then I installed Active Webcam 7.6 (webcam CCTV software)?I configure, etc. It works.
this morning: ok ---I change some configs :gain / frequence Hz / via the Creative config sofware, it's ok?----------then I use Active Webcam 7.6 : I change the frame rate configuration of this programm (5 +"apply", then 20 +"apply", then 5 +"apply" , 0 +"apply" ) It's okay agin?
In the end I decide to set?5 frames/second, AND THEN......BUG!!!!!!!!!!!Active Webcam 7.6?totally freezes so I kill the process via ctrl+alt+suppr
Even the Creative config sofware freezes when I want starting it. well, I kill it too.
I reboot, AND THEN.......crap.... I see the usb icon on the tray of the task bar?saying "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" ......and the device manager of the system panel does not show my webcam 5 any longer.
........well nothing very annoying, I thought, it is worth rebooting, re-install creative software/driver with new/old versions, seeing some topics on forums etc...
NOTHING, I re-intall, plug-unplug before or after (re)installation, verify USB status via the device manager (it says ok, except for the "not recognized device" http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies...miley-wink.gif and via the BIOS (already switch on).
Can you help me please?Thank you for your advice !
Message Edited by testimonio on 11-26-2006 03:39 PM

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmm?After many many attempt of pluggin/unpluggin, I achieve to detect and keep my webcam detected. It is working a little bit...... I mean everything is ok, but when I attempt to reach the "source" option of Creative Webcam Control, this programm freezes and the webcam LED becomes switched on for an unlimited period. The only way escape it is to plug/unplug again several time. I HAVE AN ANSWERABLE QUESTION NOW?: :smileyvery-happy:--How can I reset my "source" and other options of Creative Webcam Control in order to get the original automatic producer settings ? --Moreover, I fear the register still definitely keep a trace of my old/bugging settings (that's why I get problems even though I re-install). How can I erase Creative Webcam 5 settings and Creative Webcam Control settings in the register, before properly re-installing my new drivers+programs ? Ps : should I keep the old driver, or take the xp whql driver ? (the new driver might be a source of problem ?)

A530 Cannot boot from CD

Hi,
I have set the BIOS to have the optical drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT80N) as first in the startup sequence but the computer still boots into Windows. The CD is a bootable Rescue CD which works on other computers. It is also marked as working properly in the device manager and the driver is up-to-date.
If I press F12 to get the boot menu then the drive isn't even listed. The CD drive works normally when reading a normal CD.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerry.

Problems with my USB 2.0.4 card working with my ipod 3RD GEN

So I have a 3rd Generation ipod 15gigs and I wanted to install a USB 2 card in my Mac desktop (G4 Dual) since my fire ports have been giving me issues when I try to tranfer things to my ipod.
I then went out and purchased a (Dynex USB 2.0.4 Port PCI Host Adapter card) I installed it but when I hooked up my ipod using the proper cable to my computer it did not reconize it nothing showed up on my desktop and my itunes to did show that I had my ipod connectd also it would sometimes freeze my computer and also totally drain my ipod of its power even through it had full battery life prior.
To make sure it was not my ipod that had the problem I connected it to another computer(G5) USB port and it work perfect. I also tried installing the Dynex in a different slot in my G4 and still incounter th same issues
If anyone out there could help me it would be much appreciated is it my card or my computer, thanks.

Did you press the motherboard's reset button, after installing the card and before starting up the computer? It's possible that the USB controller chip used on the Dynex (a distributor of generic-brand components) USB 2.0 card doesn't interact well with your G4. The consensus of opinion in the Forums recommends a USB 2.0 card having an NEC controller chip, for the most trouble-free operation. I've used the IOGEAR USB 2.0 (2-port) card ($20 USD) without problems, but quirks related to specific connected devices may undoubtedly occur. You'll be better off returning the Dynex card and trying a different brand.

My Book 3.0 (1TB, USB 3.0) detection problem with Envy Phoenix 810-135qe

I have a My Book 3.0 (1TB, USB 3.0)... The older My Book not the newer one... "My Book Essential" or something like that.
I was using it with W7 x64 backup utility on an older HP desktop (HP Pavilion a6560t) without issue up to the day my new HP Envy 810-135qe arrived. I downloaded the latest drivers from WD support, and the thing PnPed fine off the non-powered USB 3.0 on the back of the 810. However, the 810 drops connection after sleep, hibernation, lock, or simply just over time. I've run diagnostics on the WD and the cables, all checked out fine. I tried shutting off power saving to the USB 3.0s in device manager (just a guess), and that seemed to work for a few weeks, however I'm still having the detection issue periodically. All of my drivers are up to date on the HP side. I'm fully reformatting the WD now to see if that might somehow fix the issue (I'll update in a few days on how that worked out).
Anyone have any idea what's amiss? I suspect something with the BIOS. HP chat support has been no help (they go through the same checks I've already done myself) and they got really spooky on another chat when I asked about adding a SSD as the boot drive (I knew it was an issue from here and other forums).... Handed me off to second tier support, and all they would tell me is that they couldn't tell me anything... Basically, no support for any config except for how it was shipped because it's a "custom build" (yes, buyer's regret big time).
Secondly, anyone running a similar config with a en external back up that's running smoothly? My WD is getting old so I was thinking of one of the newer portable USB 3.0 HDDs (both 2.5 and 3.5). My specs follow.

I have the exact computer (See my signature below.). I have installed a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB SSD. It works absolutely great. Samsung SSD's seem to be the only brand that boots without changing any settings in the UEFI Firmware. If you decide to buy one, I will be glad to walk you through the installation process.
I also have a "WD My Book Essentials" 2 GB external hard drive. It works perfectly without making any changes to the BIOS.

Z87-G65 power issue with usb(port reset failed)

All,
I'm having an issue with my motherboard and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions. In windows 8.1 if I have my webcam or external hard drive plugged in USB. I get this error the the USB device is not recognized and the port reset failed(code 43). I noticed when I turn on the PC and it's booting the light on the webcam and hard drive flash like it's not drawing enough power to stay on. The boot sticks at 9c on the screen and I have to reset. When windows boots they turn off. Since it's before windows boots I think this is either a MB issue or a power supply issue. I have a corsair 750 watt power supply so plenty of power. Any ideas?

My new HP Pavilion desktop has no usb connection option for my old Canon Pixma iP 2600 printer

Greetings:
I can no longer locate the installation disk for my my old Canon Pixma iP 2600 printer. I'm able to install it w/the add a printer feature in the control panel, but the desktop fails to read that the printer is connected via usb cord. I'm not finding any option to install it as a usb printer. Please help asap. I can't afford to replace the printer, and I have several documents I have to print today or early tomorrow, or there will be dire financial complications for me. I NEVER had this problem w/Dell. (the operating system is windows seven, which is exactly what i was running on my older dell model - i have searched this forum and located a similar question, but that querent was able to find a usb option in the drop down menu for port installation. that option is absent in my attempts).

Where are the front USB ports on the HP Envy 700-210 Desktop?

I bought the Envy 700-210 desktop because it has so many USB ports. However, I can only find 8 - 2 on top and 6 in the back. According to the specifications, there are supposed to be some in the front. Do I have to take something apart to find them?
Thanks.

VJR-Savannah, welcome to the forum.
Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer. If you look at the picture of the computer in the link, I believe that the front cover below the Red band slides down to expose the USB ports. This is how it works on my Envy 810-135qe.

IMac CD drive failed - now trying to get iMac to recognize external usb CD drive

Hello, as best as I can tell, I'm having the same trouble with both internal drive, and now external added drive, neither one working. I posted onto what looked like older, similar posts last week, but got no reply. Hoping a fresh posting might get some visibility.
iMac (12-18 months old, bought new)
2.5 GHz Intel Core I5
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OS X version 10.7.5 (11G63)
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 M
what models the DVD drives are
The internal "superdrive" is HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA32N, firmware KE06, ATAPI.
The external (I think) is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT80N (it's a brand new Amazon Basics USB 2.0 External Slim DVD Writer). I actually got two new ones (shipping error), but neither one works).
I don't use the drive very much at all, but it worked fine the last time I did. The other day I tried inserting a new music CD and got nothing, repeatedly. After reading around online, I got the Amazon external drive, but again nothing. I tried the Amazon drive on a small HP notebook I have and it worked fine right away. I don't know what else to do.
The SMC and PRAM reset mentioned in some other posts has not worked. Nothing has so far, and no music CD or movie DVD work (both new, very clean). The only way I am able to eject the disks (internal or external) is via Disk Utility.
I "think" the disks must be seen by the computer/drives somehow, because I'm ultimately able to eject them from Disk Utility?? Also, I inserted a purchased movie disk, and the name of the movie was actually shown in the Disk Utility screen. But nothing played, and iTunes has never opened in any of my disk insertions (and I know it is set to open automatically when disks are inserted).
I don't know what else to offer, but if you have any questions I'll be happy to provide what I can. I look forward to your assistance!! Thank you,
Jeff

Yes, I know that - but in either case (internal/external), nothing is seen, and itunes won't play, when a drive is inserted.

so i've searched this forum's board and found that it seems quite a few people have had issues with USB 2.0 and sleep mode on the mac. most of what i read, however, comes from people not being able to put the computer to sleep once new USB 2.0 cards or devices are installed. that is not the problemm I seem to be having, but is this:
I recently purchased a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card, and installed it on my MAC G4 tower. It seemed to work ok for a little while, but then i noticed that AFTER i put the computer to sleep, when it 'awakens' from slumber, it no longer reads the USB devices. if the device was plugged in prior to sleep mode, it sometimes reads ok. but if I try and plug in a new USB device, such as an iPod or flash drive, no dice. it doesn't mount on the Mac.
I called Belkin tech support, and they were very helpful, but told me that the macs have had issues powering the USB PCI card once the computer is in sleep mode. they even directed me to an apple support page that has downloads that seem to address this, but they're for 10.0-10.0.4. I don't want to download that onto my mac (10.3.9) cuz im worried it might screw something up on my OS.
I would LOVE a download link for a software updater for this if someone knows where it is, otherwise, I may have to return this thing to Belkin and go with a more mac-friendly brand. so im open to that possibility, too.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
cheers,

I would either complain to Belkin for a fix if there is one or return the card and try a different one. You should not have the problem, but Belkin USB hubs and cards appear to have more problems like yours than other manufacturers' products.
You might try Sonnet's Tango FW400/USB 2.0 multi-card, for example, or Firewire Direct's 6-port FW800/USB 2.0 card.
