K7N2G dvd drive on SATA 2

manual say only HDD - is there any way of getting a DVD drive to work on the second SATA socket? i bought a new dvd burner and it has no ide socket :(

No, no way. You can get external PCI SATA controller, exchange DVD SATA for PATA drive or change the mainboard.

P965 won't boot DVD from Intel SATA with RAID enabled

System specs
1 x MSI P965 Platinum
1 x Intel Core 2 Duo 6420
2 x 1GiB Geil PC6400 DDR2/800
2 x 320G Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
1 x Pioneer 212 SATA CD/DVD Writer
Configuration has both hdd's in RAID mode (on the ICH8 SATA connectors), with RAID volumes setup and functional.
My DVD drive is plugged into the SATA-5 connector (ICH8).
I have disabled the JMicron sata/ide (since I don't want to use it).
BIOS recognises the SATA DVD drive in the POST as an ATAPI CDROM. And an existing windows installation recognises the DVD drive.
The problem is that I cannot boot from the DVD drive. I have even tried the boot menu directly (F11) - there is a momentary flicker on the DVD drive, but after a while, booting continues from the HDD anyway.
Please help, I'm trying to install XP onto a different partition, and if I cannot boot from the optical drive, it may present some difficulties ;-)
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Or can offer any help on tuning the BIOS settings?
Regards

In my first post, I said that the DVD is plugged into the SATA-5 connector (on the ICH8), the JMicron sata connector is not used.
I also said that my configuration has 2x 320G drives configured as a RAID array (on SATA-0,SATA-1 if that matters), hence BIOS is set to "RAID" mode - if it were IDE or AHCI I would suspect my RAID array would not function (haven't tested this, but it seems logical).
If the system boots from HDD, the DVD drive (on SATA-5) is fully functional from Windows XP, just that the BIOS won't boot from the DVD drive on the ICH8.
Jack the Newbie
I have tried the JMicron SATA connector, but WinXP setup disk causes BSOD if the drive is configured as IDE in BIOS. And after some more hair pulling I figured out that if I slipstream the JMicron RAID drivers and configure the JMicron as RAID, then WinXP setup accesses the DVD correctly. Seems like a lot of hoops to be jumping through :(

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again

Hi John,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM Drives, right click the drive and select Uninstall - when this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load for a couple of minutes before checking if it's now listed correctly.

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

Hey hvbnfrgvn,
Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.
Best of luck and have a great day!

Can I add a sata dvd drive to foxconn mcp73m01h1

Compaq sr5450f product kj383aa#aba,{Personal Information Removed}--motherboard foxconn mcp73m01h1 has receiver for four (4) sata connections. I assume thta I can use one for an added hard drive --but can I also use one for a sata dvd rw drive? The original dvd drive was pci not sata. I would think I need the data cables. Am i correct?
This question was solved.

Hi:
That shouldn't be a problem at all.
Yes, you will also need to have an available sata power cable near where the drive will go, and a sata data cable of the appropriate length.

CD or DVD drives for a sat pro 6000

any one know if i can put a Model number SD-C2302 dvd player in to a sat pro 6000 lab top or no of any that i can put in please?

Hi Adrian,
You are mostly correct in your statement about CD/DVD drives for your notebook. However, it is important that you only buy drives with dimensions similar to your current model.
Generally CD/DVD drives come in two varieties, those destined for tower type installation and those destined for notebooks. The latter are usually designated as 'slim' or 'slimfit'.
To install the new drive you usually need to unscrew and remove any fitting brackets used to anchor your drive to your notebook together with any plastic trim components. These will then need to be attached to your new drive.
Toshiba notebooks use various drives (Toshiba, TEAC, Mat****a, etc.) so you will generally have a reasonably wide variety to choose from.
Finally, you may need to download drivers for your new drive if none are provided or if your purchase an OEM version. These can be obtained from the drive manufacturers web-site.

No Windows 64 bit Driver for GT30L SATA DVD Drive

I recently updated my compaq presario to Windows 8.1. I've been pleased with the change but Windows installed an incomaptible driver for my DVD drive. It installed the driver for the 32 bit OS. From what I've learned 32 bit drivers can't work in a 64 bit system. Here is a link where I discovered this:

Is it available to replace DVD driver in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb?

I'v external DVD driver and I'd like to replace DVD driver with in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb. Is it available? All your opinions are welcome.

Here is a post from another thread on this problem.
So here's the deal, don't expect SATA III devices to work on the optical port. I just went thru this on both my 2009 and 2012 13" MBP's. The 2009 is SATA II (3Gps) and the 2012 is SATA III (6Gps). A SATA III SSD (OWC 6G) will only connect at 1.5 Gps on the 2009. On the 2012, it actually connects at 6 Gps, but every drive I tried crashed (dropped drives, file errors, kernel panics), including a Samsung 830 and Seagate Momentus XT 750. Out of desperation, I stuck the (slow 500 Gb) Apple HD in, it connects at 3 Gps and works like a champ. Check your System Info on SATA info. If you have a 2009, don't waste your $$$ on high end SSDs or drives. If you have newer, BEWARE, you're likely to have issues with high end SATA III devices. On the bright side both Samsung and OCZ V4 work great on the main drive (450 MB/s read) and boots in 10 seconds!! The optical drive SATA port is a major issue for everyone ( like me ) who buys MBPs because they can trip them out, this is a real nagging issue/obstacle. This is a firmware issue that needs to be addressed by Apple. I'm hoping for a firmware update and that Apple isn't doing this intentionally.

Does anyone know when the Mac Pro switched from ATA to SATA DVD Drives

Does anyone know when the Mac Pro switched from ATA to SATA DVD Drives ?
I tried to find this answer online but failed.

Appears the Mac Pro (Early 2008) is the last model to suggest Ultra ATA/100 optical.
And with an optional card, use Serial Attached SCSI via Mac Pro Raid.
This kind of information gets sketchy in that the hard drive bus and other parts are SATA
and only this (and earlier) model Mac Pro has optical drive interface w/ Ultra ATA/100. The
logic board on the early 2008 appears to have two Serial ATA ports, 3.0GBPS; so to check
these, you may need to look into specification in iFixit.com repair guides, any takeapart
guides, and note specifications in everymac.com and those from mactracker.ca.
The MacPro after Early 2008 model build series (Early 2009) appears to sport an optical
drive with 18x speed, compared to Early 2008 & before, whose drives indicate 16x spec.
Other changes may be indicated by certain parts and differences; processors, graphic
support, and those kinds of things. 2008 shows dual-core, afterward, quad-core.
So on what little I found, that would appear to be the divide or when optical drive spec
on the logic board changed from Ultra ATA/100 to SATA versions. But double check.
Good luck & happy computing!

Product #: H5Q13AA#ABA, bad driver for hp DVD A DS8A9SH SATA CdRom Device

Hello, my HP Pavilion 23 (Product #: H5Q13AA#ABA) suddenly had its DVD/CD Rom stop working.
It is an hp DVD A DS8A9SH SATA CdRom Device. I have tried uninstalling the driver and using the HP Troubleshooting tool. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? The drive is acting normally, aside from the computer not recognizing it (the disc spins when you put it in, etc).
I'm running Windows 8.1 with everything up to date.
When I try to update the driver, Windows says it is up to date. It is giving me this error message in device manager:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Thanks in advance!

DKA790GX Plat with SATA + IDE DVD drives

I have been running my mb with 2 x SATA HDs and 2 x IDE DVD. No problem.
In (re)building on older computer I had the need for an IDE DVD drive as the SATA was too new so I swapped out one of the IDE from my DKA790GX.
Now I can get the SATA DVD to work fine on the DKA790GX but NOT the IDE. It seems to be working OK as it makes all the same noises as the SATA when I put in a disk. I have tried moving Jumpers and different IDE cable but can not get it to work.
In itself it is no big deal but I kinda like having an IDE around as it has got me out of scrapes a couple of times.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alan

Perhaps it got damaged during the move. Have you tested it in your other system lately?
Thank you for the polite and quick answering! We would however like some more info. about the system you are talking about. PSU, processor, memory, graphics card.
Thanks Fredrik always a possibility its damaged will try it later in the original PC it came from.

785GTM-E45 SATA (AHCI) HDD and IDE DVD drive cannot be used together

I have bought 785GTM-E45, and installed a sata hdd and a IDE dvd drive on it. the sata is set to ahci mode. After install xp using f6 method and install all the drivers, I cannot find the dvd drive at all in windows. I have to go into bios to set the sata ports back to IDE model to make the dvd appear again.
Anyone knows the reason? It looks like a bios bug. I am using the new v8 bios.

Quote from: vm1 on 06-October-09, 00:12:31
It is just annoying that this board has so many issues. No vcore change, no gpu voltage change, v8 bios will freeze if entering processor details, and the issue in this current topic. I have used at least three other brands' boards and never had any issue before. Oh my, MSI...
MSI bashing is NOT allowed
>>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
You could have read the manual before buying, then you would have known it's a cheap office board.

Problems with SATA DVD drives

I recently purchased this MacPro. I have since added 2 SATA DVD drives to the system that originally had 2 PATA drives. The problem that I am having is that initially I can eject the disk from both drives but after 5 minutes both drives stop responding and neither will eject. Has anyone else had similar problems. I would appreciate any ideas.

Yes I did. When I unchecked it I was able to eject them. Thank you very much. I knew it was something simple that I was missing.
