LabVIEW 2010 only installs if DVD drive is D:

My DVD drive letter was F or G and the installer for the LabVIEW 2010 Developer Suite would not run properly.  I believe the error was that a file was missing. I decided to try and make the drive D: and it worked after that.
Just though others should know.

LV 2010 was missing from the distribution I was using.  After downloading the missing piece, install from F: went fine.

  • Windows 7 64 Bit Boot Camp install on iMac 27" (2010) without int. DVD drive

    I have a current 27" iMac (bought last year) and the internal DVD drive doesn't work. It's new, has NEVER been used. I guess it's dust inside, but cleaning CDs didn't help. I don't want to bring or send my iMac to the Apple repair service because normally I don't need this internal DVD drive.
    Hence I'm looking for alternative ways to install Windows 7/64 via Boot Camp. I have rEFIt-0.14 installed, an Original Windows 7 Retail-DVD (and a ISO image of it), an external USB DVD drive (Samsung), an external USB hard drive 160GB (LaCie), some USB flash drives (Kingston, 4GB) and a Windows PC.
    I've read many threads about this problem, for example this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15002932 resp.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15016734 (saying it SHOULD work!)
    Hmmm... Some people succeeded in installling - other didn't. I've also read about that "Parallels way" - but I would prefer not to use Parallels.
    Is any information missing...? What would you recommend? Thanks a lot!

    It doesn't work! But others reported that it should!
    I've tried it using the Original Windows 7 DVD and also
    a bootable 4GB Kingston USB flash drive made
    under Windows 7 as follows:
    The rEFIt-0.14 boot menu lists the following options...
    * Boot Mac OS from Macintosh HD
    * Boot EFI\BOOTX64.EFI from EFISECTOR
    * Boot Windows from CD
    * Boot Legacy OS from EFISECTOR
    ... but nothing helps - I always get the message
    "No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key"
    and can only switch off my Mac.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Or will only that Parallels option work? (Last year when
    I tried Parallels for the first time, the uninstall function
    didn't work comprehensively and I had trouble removing
    the Parallels installation completely from my system.)
    Thanks for any help!!

  • Problem with Installer and DVD drive

    I am having problems with my dvd combo drive reading discs. It keeps spitting them out. More importantly, I am trying to load Adobe Illustrator CS2 and cannot get all the wat through the installation proccess. Is there a patch I am not aware of??

    You could be looking at some kind of driver corruption issue (say if that sector on your hd had gone bad, or the file was dorked somehow). Have you done repaired permissions on the hd recently?
    Do all types of DVDs fail -- music, movies, and apps? If some work and others do not, then it could be a problem with a particular app.
    It never hurts to check the cables. Insufficient data or power can cause all kinds of problems.

  • M115-S3094 Restore without DVD Drive.

    Hello,
    I have a M115-S3094 laptop and the DVD Drive does not read disc. It does not show to have any problems with the drive in Device Manager. I have tried everything I can find to correct the problem if it is a software issue (Microsoft FIx-It, Reinstall Driver, Update driver, Restore Point, etc.) but no luck. My last resort is to completely restore the computer to factory condition because the computer is in need of restoring anyway. I have the factory restore disc but the problem is the DVD Drive will not read it. I have tried to copy the disk to an external hard drive and run the restore from it but it acts like it will only use the DVD drive for restore. I have also tried all the boot from restore partition (Hold 0 zero then start button until it beeps, Hold F8 at Toshiba start screen) but that does not work either.
    Can anyone help me on how I can do a restore on it without using the DVD Drive? I am hoping it will start working after doing a restore but even if it does not that's no big deal. I know the computer is getting old and worn out so if I have to do without the DVD drive that's OK. I just need to be able to do a system restore for the performance of the laptop.
    Thanks for any help!

    Cornelius, thanks for the hint. It works for me too
    During my first attempt I did a mistake. When I read your post I thought my mistake was related to how I used the hardware at my disposal.
    In fact I used a PBG4 as a FW-TDM and an intel iMac Alu as a machine to install the OS. That led to the result I described in my previous posts.
    Tiger 10.4 was the media installation DVD.
    I did the test again. This time I used the iMac as FW-TDM and the PBG4 as the destination.
    The Tiger DVD did show up on PBG4 and I could boot from the FW-TDM DVD.
    Unfortunately after a couple of minutes the PBG4 hanged.
    At that very moment I realized I did a second mistake.
    I was using Tiger 10.4 on a machine that was shipped with Tiger 10.4.2.
    And also the second test was faulty, because the iMac shipped with Tiger 10.4.10.
    Moreover the first release of Tiger being able to run on an intel processor was 10.4.6.
    So, for the final test I used Leopard server 10.5.4 and all went as expected.

  • Equium A200-1VO - Replacement DVD Drive

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me find a replacement CD/DVD Drive for a Toshiba Equium A200-1VO. Would i need to get the exact same model DVD Drive or is there another suitable drive available that will work?
    I know how to fit the drive so installation isn't needed
    Many Thanks
    Nick

    Hi!
    I have also replaced my DVD drive on an older Toshiba notebook and I can say you should only install a DVD drive that is listed in the user manual.
    So you can make sure that the new drive will work because the drive has the same pin assignment.
    If you dont have the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba website. ;)
    Bye

  • DVD drive replacement on Satellite A100-646

    Hi all,
    I want replace the DVD drive on my laptop. (I have many problems never solved)
    Do you know if exist a list of compatibility model for the A100-646?
    Model to suggest me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards
    Fabrizio

    Hi!
    In your case I would only choose a DVD drive from the list of the user manual. Otherwise the drive could not work and/or recognized.
    By the way, if you have lost your user manual you can download it on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    You can also look on eBay for a second hand drive. Maybe there you can find a good offer.

  • Macbook pro external DVD drive initialization error 70012

    This is an answer to my own question and a comment about finding answers to questions on Apple forums.
    The situation
    I have a Macbook Pro, late-2009 model. In 2013, the internal DVD or optical drive died. I purchased an Apple external DVD drive to be able to read DVD disks, listen to audio, and watch video content. Because the computer I own was built to read only the internal DVD drive, it did not recognize this new external drive. When I plugged it in, I received an error: A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]. Or , or DVD could not be found, initialization error[- 70012].
    The question
    Given this situation, my question was, how do I solve DVD initialization error 70012?
    The answer
    Since my Apple Care plan had long since expired, before spending time and money at the Apple store to solve this, I decided to look online. After searching general sites and more and more specific sites, I found several posts on forums about my problem. The most helpful of these, with respect to an external DVD drive, was posted on CNET, by Topher Kessler (June 10, 2011 2:24 PM PDT):
    http://www.cnet.com/news/addressing-dvd-player-error-70012-when-using-external-d rives-in-os-x/
    The key to his advice was twofold:
    1. Hardware: The Macbook Pro was programmed to recognize the internal DVD/optical drive alone.
    2. Software: The preferences in the Macbook Pro were set to open Apple's DVD Player when a disc is inserted into the drive.
    To play audio or video discs on an external drive, the computer needed to be instructed to recognize the external drive, plus appropriate software needed to be opened. Mr. Kessler's advice went from hardware (i.e., get a new internal drive), to software (i.e., use different audio or video software), to operating system (i.e., alter the code in the operating system). Like with Goldie Locks, the first was too expensive, the last was too invasive, but the middle option was just right.
    I searched for free software to display audio and video on my external drive and found two that could do the job quite nicely. There are others, but these seemed to be the most recognized and highly rated:
    1. MPlayerX (http://mplayerx.org/download.html)
    2. VLC Media Player (http://download.cnet.com/mac/media-players/?rpp=30)
    So, I didn't have to buy an internal DVD drive and I didn't have to alter the code of the operating system. I just needed to download free software, install, and play.
    The points to learn
    1. Computers involve both hardware and software, therefore solutions to computer problems can require fixes to one, the other, or both.
    2. The simplest solution, and the least expensive, is to be preferred over the more complex.
    3. What went wrong for someone else is not necessarily what happened to your computer or software.
    4. What solved someone else's problem may not solve your problem.
    5. Just because nobody has posted information on how to solve your problem doesn't mean there isn't a solution to it.

    Hi Duane,
    Thanks for the info! That's some catch-22 for DVD Player... but useful info. I guess I'll just pick up a generic DVD-ROM to replace the drive with.
    As to the external drive, do not USB 2.0 cases run at the same speeds at Firewire 400 cases? (the same drive has no issues on other machines for playing dvds... just the lampshade iMac)

  • Can't find second DVD drive

    I've tried opt+eject, but nothing happens.  So I opened Terminal and tried "drutil list" but only the first DVD drive is listed.

    About this Mac > (More Info ) > Serial-ATA (for 2009 and later)
    About this Mac > (More Info ) > ATA (for 2008 and earlier)
    If not listed, it is not connected or not working properly.

  • Installation of DVD disk drive by USB

    In trying to install this USB DVD disk drive I receive this error when I try to click on this device which is listed as an MTV device in My Computer.  "You do not have permission to access this device."  Also my installed laptop DVD player/recorder is not listed in My Computer.   Somehow it looks like this "MTV" device has taken it's place.   

    I also purchased the HP Pavilion dv9910us laptop at Circuit City.  But I got it in the fall of 2008.  It has given me no real problems until Dec 2010 when I started having problems booting it up. Over one year after my one year warranty expired.  Turns out my Master Boot Record (MBR) on the hard drive needed to be reinstalled, which I did.  Around the same time I noticed that my DVD/CD only worked intermittently.  I rarely used the drive but I did notice I could sometimes play a DVD movie from it, but sometimes I could not.  Went into the BIOS and make the DVD drive the primary drive to boot up (vice the hard drive) and most of the times could not boot up with Window 7 installation DVD.  This has progressively gotten worse to the point I no longer have a working DVD drive.  The computer doesn't recognize the DVD/CD drive in the Device Manager. 
    Since I don't use it all that much I will try to disconnect or remove it and see if I can still use the laptop.  Otherwise I have found a replacement at getpartsonline dot com for fifty five bucks. 
    Another symptom I currently have is that I have to disconnect the USB cable that goes to my two USB hubs from the laptop or else the laptop doesn't boot up.  It just hangs at a BIOS screen.  Strange.  So I disconnect the USB cable, boot up, and then reconnect USB cable and all is good.

  • LabVIEW 2010 FPGA Driver for Xilinx SPARTAN 3E Starter Board

    Dear Friends,
    Is there any possibility to release a LabVIEW 2010 FPGA Driver for Xilinx SPARTAN 3E Starter Board?
    Regards,
    wedo
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Brad,
    So glad to get your post here!
    I’m looking forward to download the new installer.
    I wonder whether the new driver will support the 10/100 Ethernet Physical Layer Interface, since the last drivers aren’t support this feature!?
    Also, will be any new examples included with the new driver? For instance: an example for the StartaFlash Memory; I have done an example for this but I couldn’t get it work! I don’t know why! You may check my post and the example in the following link!
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Spartan-3E-StrataF​lash-Memory-wrong-reading/m-p/1030898
    By the way, is there any plane to develop a driver for the Spartan-3E (1600Kgate) kit? Both kits (500KGate and 1600KGate) have the sample on-board peripherals, the only difference is in the number of Gates (FPGA chip). I think all that is needed is to add the component ID (29597843---->3E1600) and revise the xc3s1600e.bsd and 3sXXXe.nph.
    Thanks in advance & kindest regards,
    wedo

  • CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

    I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
    That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
    I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
    Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
    I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
    Thanks for any and all help,
    Mike Boom

  • Portege R500: XP installation with USB external CD/DVD drive - SOLUTION

    Hello all !
    Just wanted to take five minutes to inform you that installing XP on a Portege R500 with USB external CD/DVD drive is possible, even if you already have erased Vista and only with a bootable CD of Win XP in hand.
    First go into your BIOS and check / set first boot device is CD/DVD drive
    Start your installation of win XP from the CD without the F6 thing and let it go his way
    After a while, the installation stops and says "can't find the file xxxx" and you are invited to say where this file is
    You "just" have to replace the drive letter "C:" that is given by default with the drive letter of your CD/DVD (and let the rest just like it is) and the installation will continue until the next "can't find..." and you will again replace the drive letter, etc..
    After a complete "manually assisted automatic" installation, you are welcome in Win XP !
    Next question is "Where can I find my CD/DVD drive letter ?" and the answer is "this is the next letter after your last HDD letter" (I consider you have only your Portege with nothing else plugged than your CD/DVD) so in most cases it will be "E" because C: is the first partition of your HDD and D: is the hidden / recovery partition that win creates.
    But do not worry, if you type the wrong letter you will have as many tries as you wish until you find the good one and for the following "can't find..." it will remain the same.
    I hope these pieces of information will help some of you who want a clean install of win XP starting from a newly formatted HDD.
    With kind Regards,
    Mage.

    What a great information!
    Thanks a lot for this posting.

  • Help needed - itunes installs and CD/DVD drives go missing!?!?

    Bought a 30GB ipod last week, first one I have had.

Only way to get them back is do a system restore to before itunes was installed. Every time I try the same thing happens.

    Hi B!!
    Sorry for the delay in coming back to you, been really busy. Okay, I followed your instructions, and managed to solve that problem. I then encountered various other problems, which I wont go into for the sake of my sanity lol, but instead of coming back and questioning you I searched the forus and found all the answers I needed. Most of them from you again funnily enough!!
    In all it took the best part of 3 days to get in sorted and downloading fine. My computer knowedge is probably slightly above average, but some of the things I had to do to get there in the end was way over my head, but thanks to your great guidance notes I managed to get there, and must say Im thrilled with the end results. Am now in the process of downloading al my albums to the Ipod which is my new favourite most treasured possession
    Anyway, thanks ever so much for the assistance again, if I encounter any more problems I know who to call!! Your a star, cheers.
    Ian.
