Lightscribe dvd supermulti drive cd writer replacement

I have an HP Pavilion a6512p PC. The OE lightscribe dvd supermulti drive cd writer has quit working. I am looking for a replacement. Any recommendations?

Hi,
The industry has pretty much bailed out on Lightscribe technology. There are a few listed on Amazon. You might want to consider an external optical drive.
Here is a lightscibe optical drive. If needs be, you can buy all 106 that are available.

LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive / CD Burner

Dear Community:
My Drive all of a sudden does not want to read CD's or CD-R's. I was uploading previously burned CD-R's into my new computer and it was working fine. I got the the 5th CD-R in the middle of the rip it just stopped. I cancelled the Rip, ejected the disc and put is back in. Now when I put a Burned CD-R, the Drive makes a funny noise. I put in a DVD and it purrs like a kitten...It seems to read everything else. Help! :smileysad:
My system is Vista 64-bit.

First check the Device Manager and uninstall the dvd/crom disc drive driver and restart the computer. Then wait 2 minutes and try to do a test read or burn from a cd or dvd and if there's still issues or it's it's noisy, assuming that cables are in properly conencting to the disc drive i would say you may need to buy a new burner.
So I recommend a new Lightscribe drive from newegg.com
They go around $20-$35.

DVD-SuperMulti Drive on Satellite Pro notebook

I'm looking to purchase a 15.6'' Toshiba Satellite Pro PSCMMA001001 Notebook.
Is the Optical Disc Drive: DVD-SuperMulti Drive provided suitable for recording back-ups of large (genealogical) databases? Ie is it fully recordable for data, photographs, etc.?
Thank you.

Hi
Using posted part number I found specification for this Satellite Pro C50. It has DVD-SuperMulti Drive.
Of course you can use it to save all your important data to empty medias like CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW.
I dont know which burning application is originally installed. Check it out and test functionality.
Of course you can remove it from the system and install your favourite burning application.

Need Vista driver for CD/DVD SuperMulti Drive PA3761

Hi there,
hoping you can help me.
I've just purchased an external CD/DVD drive - PA3761 - the SuperMulti Drive.
When first connected to my PC - running VISTA - the computer searched for drivers to install and then came back with the message - no drivers found please install.
Looking at the Toshiba website I can't seem to find any reference to this product or drivers for it.
Can anyone please help?
thanks,
Justin

hi JWestcott,
seems to be that there is no driver for vista available....
go to the device manager and find out which device code (dev_yyy&pid_yyy) is shown maybe you can search for...
there might be a generic driver for the usb chipset....
try the downloadpage for other countries as well....

Adding a LightScribe DVD/CD Drive to MacPro Early 2009

It appears as if the 18x SuperDrive in this machine does not support LightScribe.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9192513&#9192513
I would like to add the capability to my new computer. I have found at least one external drive that will support LightScribe with the use of Toast 10. I have enough stuff on my desk already (including the LED Display because the cable is too short to put the machine under my desk.
There is a free DVD connector and you can add a second internal drive by prying off the cover on the drive.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a second LightScribe capable drive?

My point is that it's not a universal feature on computers in general, and it's not listed in any of the Apple specs, so it seems odd to me that anybody would assume it would be a standard feature. Apple never included the disct@2 technology for labeling disks that was a proprietary feature of Yamaha drives. One could just as easily express surprise that the Mac Pro doesn't have SAS drive support, serial and parallel ports, and GPIB support, but I'd still wonder where you got the notion that they did or should.
I'm sorry if you didn't find this helpful, but I think it was a superfluous question since Lightscribe support isn't mentioned anywhere in Apple's specs.
As to Apple specs, I make no assumption that it should be a standard feature, but this is a forum on +expanding function+ of my Apple computer. Surely you do not suggest that Apple is like some other vendors who expect that users should have somebody else do their thinking?
It is a feature that I, as the owner of the computer, choose to have. Apple may license parts of it to me and it may come with license restrictions, but it is my computer and if I want to add function, I will do so.
When PARC had the motto of "don't mode me in", I resonated to it. And I like open source software and open standards, but I will not let ANY vendor including Apple "mode me in" with their specs. As for Apple, they certainly have their share of proprietary features so if I wanted to be pure as snow I would run only LINUX. Oops, there is proprietary stuff there too if you look closely enough.
Most of the multimedia disks I create have inkjet labels on them. I wanted a second drive and LightScribe was frosting on the cake; not the reason for adding a drive. The end product does not look as good as my ink jet labels, but it is less easily damaged. While I archive most things offsite with a service, I do like to have a physical copy stored offsite as well. That is where most if not all of the LightScribe disks will go.

Dvd supermulti drive has split into two cd drives?

DVD/CD drive read/writes DVD, reads CD, but suddenly fails to recognize CDr

I'm having a problem that I just don't understand, and I can't seem to find any information on, so I'm hoping somebody out there has some thoughts.
I have a powerbook 17 with the DVD/CD listed below (from system profiler).
This drive has always worked perfectly, but now I find that I can:
- play DVDs
- burn DVDs
- play/read CD
but when I insert a CDr to burn, the icon never shows up on the desktop. Running disk utility lists it as a CD (read only) -- I'm not sure if disk utility is valid in this context or not, but I had to start it so that I could get at the CD to eject it.
At first I thought it might be the media I was using, but I tried two different kinds -- both failed, then I found some blanks of the brand and type that I've been using forever...failure.
So, can this be a hardware error? If so, how can a hardware drive error only affect recognizing writeable CDs? If this is the case, I'd like to learn something! =:-)
The only thing that's changed on this system is that I regularly run software updtate...everything's up to date. This is OSX 10.3.9.
Thanks,
keith

Keith, just for grins, go to your Apple and click it and then choose System Preferences, and when it opens choose CD-DVD and see what option you have checked for the different media.
Just a chance when you did an update it might have changed a default setting you had.

BRAND NEW LENOVO K300 5316 1BU (WON'T BOOT FROM DVD SUPERJULTI DRIVE/CD-WRITER

Would appreciate info from the Lenovo Community as to what might be the problem and a fix.
I just received my new Lenovo K300 5316 1BU. As one of the first tasks I made a Lenovo Repair Disc.
To test my disc I rebooted my computer with disc in drive. During reboot I pressed F12 to get to the proper menu.
I chose the cd/dvd drive as the first boot option. It showed that the drive was recognized stating Boot Priority but then went directly into my Windows 7 deskop.
I called Tech Support and tried everything with them with the same results.
They instructed me to do a complete System Restore to see if that corrects the problem.
I have not done this yet since I will do a backup of my present setup, not to loose all my hard work and time setting up all my programs and settings.
Before I do a complete system restore I would appreciate any comments or suggestions from the community regarding this situation.
Do you also believe that doing a full system restore will help or should I send this computer back?
I do find it hard to believe that a computer less than a week old would have this problem with the DVD Supermulti Drive /CD writer.
If I still have no success after a full restore or a resolve from the Lenovo IdeaCentre Community then I will return this computer back to TigerDirect.
To conclude I would like to mention the following regarding this brand new Lenovo K300 5316 1BU top of the line desktop computer.
One of the reasons I purchased this particular desktop was because of the Lenovo Windows 7 ENHANCED operating system that Lenovo has been advertising so much.
To my surprise and disappointment, this BRAND NEW Lenovo Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit does not have the Enhance version, it is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit only.
Apparently, Lenovo is making some with Enhanced and some without.
Finally, another reason I purchased the 1BU version is because it has a TV Tuner.
To my surprise again, the TV Tuner card in this model does not have an FM Tuner, which almost all TV Tuner Cards have. So, as a result, no FM Radio with Windows 7 Media Center.
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, but thought it was important to share with the community.
Comments and Help will be most appreciated.

What brand DVD drive did you install? Some third-party drives won't boot by holding down the C key at startup, because they lack the Apple/OEM drive's ROM programming. I recently installed a Memorex (manufactured by LG) DVD burner in a B&W G3, which is recognized by Toast and (with PatchBurn) the iApps. The compatibility problem occurs when selecting a CD/DVD as the startup disk using the Startup Disk Preferences/control panel or by holding down the C key during the restart. In either case, the drive ejects the disk during the POST, so that I have to immediately close the tray and hold down the C key again, to persuade it to boot from the disk. Is this similar to what you're experiencing?

Can the LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive burn dual-layer dvds?

It's a LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive, I think it's part number is 575781-501. It came in my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-380t. I was customizable up to blue ray but I stuck with the standard. Now I'm not sure whether I should invest in Dual Layer DVDs, because I don't know if my drive is capable of writing to them. Does anyone know?

According to these two sources, yes the drive is capable of writing to dual layer DVDs.

LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive

ok I try to burn a DVD and CD and none of them would burn. The process would stop and says their is an error. I try playing a DVD and it won't read it either. When I insert a disk and try to manually work it and go to my computer and device with removable store and click on DVD RW drive it won't open the disk because it won't recognize it. When I try to take out the cd or DVD from the computer it takes a while. When I press the icon without a cd it would open my drive so I can insert the cd or DVD, I insert the disk and try to play,but it won't reconize it. Is there a problem wiht my drive or with Vista. When I try to stop all the items from my desktop dissapear and also my toolbar only the background is left.

I use window 7 64 bit

Replace DVD Combo Drive on eMac

My DVD combo Drive is going on my eMac, and I'd like to know if I can buy a replacement through Apple or through a 3rd party. Also would like to know how difficult it is to replace by myself. My machine is an eMac 800 MHz PowerPC G4, 1gig Ram. The specs on the drive are:
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104:
Firmware Revision: A227
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)

Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Steve

Most of the readers of the "Older Hardware Products" section have some familiarity with products pre-1997. Your eMac is positively modern by comparison.
You would get more readers, and therefore be more likely to get better advice, on the eMac forums:

DVD drive stopped writting DVD's on my Satellite 5200-801

Quick question that I hope someone knows the answer to. My DVD drive stopped writting DVD's a while ago (several system reinstalls have proved that it is the drive and not a driver error/conflict) So I got hold of another drive. Fitting was easy however it appears that there is something funny with the ide chain configuration in this laptop. The old drive was set on cable select, however the new drive is set as slave. because of this neither the HD or the DVD drive are accessable.
Does anyone know how to switch dvd drives to cable select to make them work (I tried putting jumpers on the HD to change it between a master and slave but with no joy.)
Thanks in advance
John Walker

Hi John,
Normally, slim design CD/DVD drives are preset by the manufacturer but it is apparently possible to change the setting if you really want to. Please check out the following post :-
