Looking for replacement DVD drive

Have a P6650z desktop, and the dvd drive needs to be replaced. I intentionally didn't get a Dell b/c I was thinking that I'd be getting better hardware.
OK I'm looking at a couple of DVD drives, but I'm not sure if they will fit the bay of my Pavillion or not--the Pavillion has a special eject button on the outside of the bay itself. Could I install either of these drives into my Pavillion?

Hi,
Based on this link, your machine uses standard bays that means any standard Optical drive should fit. Do you have any plan to add Blue Ray drive on your machine ? If YES, you can go for BD drive now, probably you have to pay around $10 more.

I need an update for my DVD Drive HP & not rely on Microsoft

I am having a HP DVD problem & i tend to disagree if ya say that my DVD drive (HP DVD RW AD-7586H) needs replacing. My dvd drive works when it wants to (Has a mind of its own). The latest update for my DVD Drive is 21/06/2006 (7+ year old way out of date driver). Ive uninstalled my DVD Drive & re-installed after bootup & that didnt do nothing & i have used quite a few programs to update my driver (Driverbooster, DriverScanner etc) & there is never, ever an update for my DVD Drive via DriverBooster, DriverScanner or my HP Suppoort Assistant. EVER. If HP can give me a BIOS update, why dont you send me a DVD Drive update via me HP Support Assistant HP???? Well i think its a bout time HP should create an update to fix all DVD problems instead of relying on Microsoft to fix it. If my DVD Drive was Windows well i'd use the microsoft Fixits, but considering its a HP DVD drive , i think HP should fix the problem, not Microsoft.

What you see in divice manager is the control driver for the dvd drive, what you are really needing to look at is the firmware version on your dvd drive & see if a newer firmware is available.
Generally a lot of faults even intermitant ones are more hardware than firmware, drives are very cheap though & a 2 minute job to replace if needed plus you can source a better quality drive & spec as desired.
i think KH21 is newest firmware for that dvd drive.

SATEGO P100-490 replace DVD drive

The optical drive on my SATEGO P100-490 is getting worse and worse.
It started with delays while watching DVD movies, now sometimes even CD-ROM cannot be read.
So I suppose it is a hardware issue with the drive, a Panasonic UJ-850.
I was looking for replacement and in general I did find a lot of UJ-850.
But many times the seller indicates that for operation in Tosiba systems a firmaware update "set master" is required.
So my questions:
Wher can I get this firmware update?
What drive model can I use?
Is SATEGO the same as Satellite?
P.S.: I am running WIN-XP on this machine.
I am going to buy a new machine soon, so I won't spend more than 100EUR for the repair.
Many thanks for any help.

> But many times the seller indicates that for operation in Toshiba systems a firmware update "set master" is required.
Fact is that not all drives are compatible and therefore you should contact the ASP in yoru country before purchasing an CD/DVD drive the guys could provide some info what drives are compatible
>Wher can I get this firmware update?
Firmware is installed and you will not get any special firmware from Toshiba.
>What drive model can I use?
See above you can get it from ASP
>Is SATEGO the same as Satellite?
I think both notebooks series are very similar there is a difference between some hardware parts like HDD or graphic card but the whole notebook layout seems to be the same

Touchsmart IQ542 - Replacement DVD drive

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement DVD drive for my Touchsmart IQ542? The current drive has decided that it really likes the DVD that is currently in it and won't spit it out, I suspect that this problem will only get worse so now is probably a good time to replace the drive.
Ideally I would like to put a Blu-ray drive in but if that's not possible a replacement for what is already in there would be fine.

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.

Satellite A200 - Need driver for CD/DVD drive

Hey folks.
Recently installed WXP Pro on my A200 PSAEC laptop, so I'm now dual booting XP and Vista on my laptop.
Problem is, I've got all the drivers working on XP and everything's running perfect, but when I tried to burn a DVD, Nero says the recorder can't burn DVDs. In "My Computer" the drive shows as a DVD-RW drive, but when I insert a blank DVD, it says CD Drive. The drive shows up as "TCSDcor' CD/DVDW TC-L6#2D" in device manager. I've searched around for a driver, but can't find an exact match for that drive and there's no optical drive drivers on this Toshiba site driver section. The only thing I've found is an executable file for upgrading the firmware, but it throws an error saying it's the wrong drive.
Anyone got any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Toshiba European driver page provides three different firmware updates for Satellite A200 PSAEC series:
TO02 for CD/DVD drive TS-L632
TO02 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632P
(This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
TO03 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632H
(This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
Im not quite sure what TO0$ means but I think the sign $ is only a free variable parameter (place marker).
If you want to check your current firmware then you could check it using the Nero Info Tool

I am looking for a backup drive for my macbook pro, any suggestions?

I have a macbook pro and I am looking for a backup drive. There are so many out there and I would like suggestions for which one to purchase. Thanks!

Pretty much any drive will work, but for a laptop, you might like to get a portable drive (doesn't require that you connect it to power) with USB3. Thunderbolt drives are also available, but they're more expensive and no faster than USB3 for a single hard drive.
I personally like the Lacie rugged series: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9377ZM/A/lacie-1tb-rugged-hard-drive-triple-u sb-30-5400-rpm?fnode=5f
If you shop around you should be able to get it a little cheaper than Apple's prices.

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

Yes, a 13" non-Air model requires a minimum of 60 watts, so you will be fine. If it is a 2011 or earlier model, the connector is the regular MagSafe, whereas this year's models use the MagSafe 2 that is different.

OS X keeps looking for missing network drive

Hi there,
I notice, I am not the first to ask the question, but is has not yet been answered and I'm a bit puzzled. I am using OS X 10.7 by now and ever since OS 10.6 I have noticed that - sometimes - finder seems to be looking for a network drive (a former time capsule) that is no longer mounted and available. Every once in a while I get the message that the drive "name" cannot be found.
Where can I check to get rid of any references to that old drive? It must be mapped somehwere, alas, I don't know where.
It is not in the startup items, I've checked there and there is no file sharing activated.
Thanks in advance, Alex.

I think this solved my problem, after having checked Console:

That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

Looking for FREE DVD Ripper. Not one that rips 5 minutes!!! Suggestions?

I'm looking for a DVD ripper that rips the entire DVD, not just 5 minutes. Oh yeah, a free one too. I'm not spending $30 when I could just download the movie, and convert it with Videora. Any suggestions?
-Mike

I was hoping for a specific program. I've used google to look for one, but they're free, meaning the free version only lets you rip 5 minutes.
