MSI 16x DVD-ROM

I recently but together a brand new system and I am having a problem with the MSI DVD-ROM.  In safe mode this problem disappears oddly enough, but what happens is that is states there is an I/O error when trying to read the drive.  Any suggestions?  The MSI 48x16x48 CD-RW that I have hooked up to the secondary IDE as well works great.  Any ideas?  What gets me is how it works fine in safe mode....  I tried MSI tech support people but they still haven't gotten back to me and it's kinda been a couple of weeks.
Thanks all!!!

Did you try setting it as master on IDE2 without any slave?
What board do you have?
Do you have the option to test the drive on another computer?

  • Some Advice Concerning my MSI 16x DVD Rom Needed

    This probably isn't the forum to ask this but I'm running out of options. I'm using DVD X Plat and it absolutly refuses to use the MSI DVD Rom to read with. I'm having to use the writer as the reader resulting in read times of 15-18 min. By the way I have had excellent performance in burning DVD-R's and CD-R's, TDK's, Memorex and Generics. I have tried everything but consider myself a hobbiest at most. I have the reader on IDE 1, the Burner on 2 and the HDD on 3. I thought I would get the best performance with the reader on 1 and burner on 2. The reader plays DVD's, CD's fine but absolutly will not read while backing-up DVD's. Anyone familiar or experience any problems like this. Could it possibly be the reader? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    NovJoe, Thanks for the reply. The Seagate HDD is IDE. You gave me some advice on the settings in BIOS. Would they still be same considering my HDD is IDE? Also I was informed that having the burner and rom on 2 seperate channels would be better. While speed would not increase perhaps quality would. Any comments? I just burnt a DVD to DVD using Nero and the results were great with the Rom and Burner. No one else has experienced the problem I'm having with the program that has responded to my query on their forum. Pulling my hair out
    Thanks

  • Looking for HP 16X DVD ROM Drive driver

    Does anyone know where I can find a driver for the HP 16X DVD ROM Drive?  I have an old HP 515n and I'm attempting to install Window 7 on it.  Windows 7 is asking for the DVD ROM driver.
    Thanks.

    Lowell, welcome to the forum.
    The only drivers that are available on the Product Specifications page are for XP. Therefore, I don't believe that HP will be developing a driver for the drive. It is possibly too old.

  • 16X DVD Rom drive?????? WHY?????

    WHY is it most people list their DVD Rom drive as being 16X????
    ALL DVD drives are 16X anyway.
    If there were other speeds then that would be different but there are not.

  • Msi 16x dvd rewriter

    I have got studio 9 plus on my computer, I have made a movie and when I try to burn to a dvd it renders then tells me to wait and then tells me it can not burn to disc.  Before I put this rewriter in I had a 4x rewriter and that worked ok. Is there anything you can advise me to do?

    What size is the file you want to burn to the DVD?
    Have you tried Nero or Alcohol?

  • K9N2 Diamond Not Recognizing SATA DVD Rom

    I just though I would try to post here to see if anyone had any ideas as to what might be the cause or if I should just RMA the board and hope it gets resolved.
    To sum it up I have a PC that doesn't always like to reboot (not a problem really as I don't like to reboot it except for when getting updates) and will not recognize the DVD drive plugged into the SATA ports.  Originally I thought it may have just been a flaky optical drive as it worked long enough for me to get the OS installed and everything set up back in late June early July.  However for some reason Windows XP Pro x64 and the BIOS stopped recognizing the optical drive.  Since I thought it might have just been a flaky drive I didn't worry about it too much as I had everything set up - was just annoying that I couldn't watch DVDs (but I could just go to the other room to do that so not biggie).  On Saturday I bought a new DVD drive (one that could play Blue Ray disks figuring since I have my monitor hooked up through an HDMI cable why not also have the capability to play Blue Ray disks) and the same problem exists.  The BIOS will on a rare occasion actually recognize the DVD drive however as soon as it reboots again it will not and even when it did recognize the DVD drive by the time Windows loaded up it didn't pick up on it.
    I have tried all four SATA ports in combination with my SATA hard drive (and alternating between six different SATA cables too) but a vast majority of the time if I have both the hard drive and DVD drive plugged in the PC will not boot up - it just seems to hang (and sometimes doesn't want to let me into the BIOS).

    OS:  Currently Win XP Pro x64 (have Win 7 x64 disk but cannot install due to said problem with DVD drive recognition)

    I haven't tested with a third DVD drive simply because I don't have a third :(
    The original DVD drive (an OEM Sony Optiarc Beige 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD/CD Rewritable Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118033) was what was being used while I was installing everything and was the drive that I was noticing wasn't always showing up in Windows Explorer (well more often than not wasn't appearing, but it seemed to last long enough to get all the initial installations done and I really don't used the ROMs much past that).  At the time I thought it might have been that the drive just went flaky and ignored it because I didn't use it. 
    The odd thing was it was also causing headaches when restarts were required for the same reason - the PC would freeze up on the motherboard splash screen (lack of a better term presently) where it normally does the POST tests (I think I am remembering that correctly .... when all the beeps takes place) so I unhooked the SATA connection to the motherboard for the drive and then the PC would actually reboot normally without the hanging.  This made me also think it was the drive causing problems.
    I've been running without any optical drive hooked up for a couple months now, but with getting my copy of Windows 7 I was getting ready to install that and picked up what I thought was the needed fix in a new DVD drive however when hooking it up the same problem started up again.  This time when trying to figure out a setting that actually worked I rotated through all six of my SATA cables (motherboard came with extras ) and rotated them through all four normal SATA slots.  Well actually I tied all six slots but it didn't seem like the BIOS wanted to pick up on slots five or six (the E-SATA if I recall correctly) as having devices (when I had the HDD and DVD Drive in slots five and six it said it couldn't find a bootable device).
    I'm at work now so I can't double check in the BIOS but I am pretty sure it is just set for SATA since I don't use RAID or AHCI - I'll check again on this when I get home though.
    The oddest thing about the whole thing (to me at least) is the lack of consistency with the BIOS recognizing the devices (well the DVD drive anyways).  I would have thought that if it recognized the device (which it has from time to time) that it would keep on recognizing it, but it seems to want to forget that it did recognize it even after it did by the time Windows loads up. 
    It does not seem to have any problems when only the SATA HDD is hooked up though. 
    If it really is the MB being flaky I think I would only have four options:
    1)  Buy a SATA PCI controller card and see if I can get things up and running that way - though this wouldn't solve the problem if the motherboard is flaking out and not 100% sure what it would do for installing new OS quite yet .... not to mention be a little odd when there are 5 other open SATA ports on the motherboard)
    2)  RMA the motherboard and hope a replacement/fix can be made and be without a PC for the duration
    3)  Not upgrade to Windows 7 and sit on that upgrade till whenever and also have a new expensive paperweight (if I take the ROM out of the PC)
    4)  Get a new MB .... really don't want to pick this one since I built the thing tail end of June/beginning of July (just was slowly ordering the parts for longer than that .... I really need to stop doing that - kills possible return chances)
    Of course I can also hope it is something else that I am just missing and that none of those are needed.  I actually built my setup based on what a friend of mine has since his is/was pretty solid.

  • Need help with my DVD-ROM and Burner

    I’ve got a 875P Neo FIS2R, Sony DRU-510K Burner and a LITE-ON 16X DVD ROM. My LITE-ON drive is set to secondary master and my SONY burner is set to secondary slave but for some reason is the POST report it does not show my DVD drives. In windows XP it also does not show any of my drives. I have a 120 GB Maxtor 6Y120M0 SATA drive which is showing up in the POST report.
    Please I need this to fixed up ASAP
    If any one has any ideas the please reply

  • DVD-ROM problem reloaded

    HI everybody. I have posted this issue before, but got no solution for it. So, I'm trying again.
    Whenever I insert a CD into my DVD-ROM drive the system gets locked. The drive's light lights up a few times, but everything gets locked, including the mouse pointer. Then after a few minutes the mouse pointer is released and the system can be used again. The DVD-ROM drive, however, is never accessed at all.
    When the above useless processing is finished the mouse pointer is released, and I can use the system - as long as I don't try to access the DVD-ROM drive again. If I do try to access the drive, everything gets locked up again as explained in the above paragraph.
    Would you guys be able to help me figure this out?

    ttreaders:
    I have had problems since I began installing nVidia IDE drivers. Whenever I install those, the problem repeats itself. With the original MS WinXP drivers I did not have it. However I get a lot more performance from the system with the newest nVidia IDE drivers. So ...
    G_man:
    Thanks for your "moral" support. Your description of the problem is excellent. It seems exactly the same as mine.  This drive is a Samsung SD-616B 16x DVD-ROM that came with my Dell 8200 system. I took it out of the Dell system and installed in the new one. The FW version is F006. I bought this Dell 8200 in November 2001. I wouldn't think it's an old drive though. Regarding round cables, I do have them, so I might try using flat ones sometime in the near future, and see if it works better. Also, please see my reply to archermoo below.
    Archermoo:
    I have disabled UDMA mode in Bios and driver, and ... IT WORKS!!! Alleluiah. The system can access the drive and is not hanging any more. .
    Now, my question to you guys is: what am I missing by changing the DVD-ROM drive's access mode to PIO?

  • K7T266 Pro2-RU won't start DVD rom drive

    Hi,
    I have a K7T266 Pro2-RU MB running XP 1800+. I have been using it for over a year. Recently, I found out that I need to add a new HD to my system as I was running out of HD space. Let's start by giving my original system spec:
    K7T266 Pro2-RU
    512 MB DDR2100 RAM Kingston
    Althon XP1800+
    windows XP professional sp1
    2 WD 80GB raid0 connected to IDE 3 and 4
    IDE 1 master 16X DVD-rom
    IDE 2 master 48X CDRW
    I purchased and added a 120GB WD 7200 RPM (2MB model) to IDE 1 slave. Initially, everything was happy. I partition the new 120 GB into 3 logical drives each for 40GB. Last week, I decided to repartition the 120GB into 1 120 GB.  The DVD-rom stopped functioning. Windows XP said it won't start (error code 10). I un-installed and let windows re-installed its driver and it still won't start. I re-partitioned the 120GB HD into 2 60 GB HDs and same problem. I have not tried re-partition the 120 GB into 3 HDs again. But I will later this week. Does anybody know what the problem may be?
    My MB is running the next to the latest version of the Bios (I just checked last night).
    Does anybody know what the problem may be?
    Any comment is welcome.
    David

    wonkanoby,
    thanks for your help. After opening up my case, I tried setting my 120 GB HD to master jumper and the DVD to slave. They both remained on the same IDE port. It seems to have solve the problem. I am crossing my finger for this one. If it fails again later, I will try your suggestion.
    Again, thanks for your help.
    David :D

  • No hard drive or dvd-rom

    Hi Guys,
    I have just had a system built for me , which contains the following
    MSI Neo 965 Mobo
    Intel core duo e6400 conroe 2.13ghx
    320gb SATA hard drive
    1gb DDR2 800mhz Ram
    I have installed my own radeonx1950pro 512mb card and my dvd rom(ide).
    When i first turn my pc on at the diagnostic screen where it shows what is connected (ide primary/master ) it has none , i then get two options f1 to continue and del to enter setup. if i press f1 it goes to a screen where it shows my hard drive and dvd-rom , and ask me to hit a ket to continue , when i do i successfully boot into windows , when  i goto bios and into boot sequence none of my devices are there , any ideas? the only way to load to windows is if i keep hitting f1. Sorry if this sound a newbie question , but my last pc was all ide and i know nothing about SATA. also i added a memory card reader in to the floppy drive space , when i look at my drives my only hard drive has the letter H , and one of my memory card slots has the drive letter C ?????
    Regards
    Lennon

    sounds like you have a windows that was installed for previous system. You just plugged it in and hope everything work just fine. Right?
    On this P965 Neo board, the PATA controller is off to JMicron external controller. So for sure, you need to install the proper driver for this controller. Check on the sticky links on top of this forum table. Get the latest driver and installation instruction there.
    Also, make sure your SATA HDD is pluged to the correct port. Which port you're using?
    In the BIOS, what did you set for the SATA and PATA? Everything has to be setup properly, refer to your motherboard manual on those settings.

    Nb. Two DVD drives connected master & slave on IDE2
    I have an unusual situation. Please help. I have run out of ideas.
    Dilemma
    1. I boot up my system.
    2. I click to enter my desktop environment (3 other users share this PC).
    3. My system starts to load my processes.
    4. While loading the processes my DVD drive door(s) shoots out in the open position. Sometimes both shoot out together and sometimes only one. 
    5. If I go into my windows explorer, I notice that the drive letters for the two drives are missing. I then have to reload them by using “my computer” management area. If I do not do this my applications will tell me that no drive exists. I have a DVD ROM and a DVD RW.
    Other observations:
    The drives never go missing in device manager. The drives only go missing in windows explorer if the DVD doors open. Sometime the doors may stay shut and everything is well. Sometimes the problem is frequent and sometimes it seems to have gone away.
    Been there done that:
    1.   I unloaded all DVD burner software
    2.   I changed the IDE ribbon cable
    3.   I unloaded the CD/DVD drivers and rebooted
    4.   I disconnected one DVD at a time and rebooted.
    5.   I checked for viruses using Norton 2005 (with latest definitions)
    6.   I checked my application/disc integrity using Norton Win Doctor
    7.    I Joined this forum for help

    Update:
    10.   I swapped around the cables going to the IDE ports on the motherboard. Switched ROMS to IDE 1 and switched HD to IDE 2
    11.   I dismounted the virtual drive in CD Anywhere manager.
    Problem disappears after I “only” completely remove cd Anywhere:
    I completely removed the cd Anywhere software. Also using cdacleaner.exe and removing the registry entries as instructed by the supplier. The problem did not return.
    Stop the clock –solution found.
    I have an application called CD Anywhere that starts up at the beginning of loading. Only after I disabled this process that the problem with the DVD drives ejecting was resolved. I contacted the supplier about the problem and they furnished me with a fix, so far so good, everything is working fine. If you are wondering what CD Anywhere is, it’s a virtual drive software for convenient loading of  CD images without the hassle of physically loading the original cd. Its supplied by a company called Vcom.

  • DVD+R not reading back on some DVD-ROM drives

    The recording device is the built-in SuperDrive on my iBook G4 1.42. I've been archiving copies of my photos to recordable DVD. It's usually 2 copies of each set - one in DVD+R and one in DVD-R. I store each set in a different place.
    My preferred media is (Made in Japan) Taiyo-Yuden media sold under the FujiFilm and Sony label. So far, the spindles I've opened and used are the FujiFilm (8x-listed) DVD+R (regular silver label) and DVD-R (from the "Color Tower" package).
    The DVD-R recordings seem to read back fine in most DVD-ROM drives I've tried. I have a circa 2001 PC with a DVD-ROM drive, and it doesn't read back the DVD+R copies. It'll just whirr for about 20 seconds and then just stop without the disc mounting. All DVD recordings seem to read back just fine on my iBook G3 600.
    Are there any known problems with readback of DVD+R recorded from OS X on some DVD-ROM drives? I figure I'm eventually going to get an external drive that also records DVD+R (I'm thinking that would present the fewest compatibility problems) or a new machine (it's about time after five years).
    14 iBook G4 1.42 1.5GB (10.4.3), 12 iBook G3 600 640MB (10.3.9)    

    Just a note of interest. If your machine is 2001
    vintage, my guess it doesn't like + media at all.
    There are some reports that in some cases that these
    older drives can read them sporaticlly at best, this
    is normally caused by the poor quality of some
    manufactures.
    It's a Sony VAIO desktop with a Pioneer DVD-ROM drive. I don't know about "quality" per se, but it probably finicky.
    I find that using the best quality media eliminates
    many problems. And I realise that it is more
    expensive to use this media but in the long run it's
    worth the extra money.
    Have a look at the Media Guide below.
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    Cheers Don
    Like I said - Taiyo Yuden all the way unless it's maybe sometime like video storage where it's no big deal. I just got three spindles of MIJ (had to look carefully for that) Sony 16x DVD-R for $12.99 each at CompUSA. They didn't have it on sale, but they price-matched the $12.99 price at Best Buy (my local store only had made in Taiwan stock). I was next to the manager at the customer service area, and she said I could have as many as I wanted at that price. If it were some expensive item, I think I would have been limited to one or two.

  • Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content, Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content

    Out of nowhere, I can't seem to add DVD-ROM content to my latest DVD. The folder is about 1100 photos and weighs in at 1.6GB. The content is accepted, the DVD burns and all seems right until you try to access the DVD folders. The video plays beautifully. The folder structure displays but I can't even get the VIDEO_TS folder to display detail consistently.  This isn't my first time to the fair, I've been authoring with DVDSP for 8-9 years.
    I went back and reviewed the the procedure step-by-step, I even re-named all the photos to comply with ISO 9660 naming conventions...  no joy.  I've
    burned it with and without the Joliet Extension Support, no difference.
    I'm on an (early 2008) 8x3.2GHz Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and FCS3.
    Anyone ever seen this? I'm stumped.

    Michael, thanks for the response. It turns out it's both the size and quantity of photos.
    I feel stupid for not solving this earlier, but it took a trip to one of my back-up systems to see the problem:
    The SuperDrive simply doesn't have the bandwidth to quickly transfer sufficient info to display these additional folders. I tried the same DVD on one of my souped up G5 dualies (with new 16X burner) and it seemed to incrementally display the folders. That's when I realized that a DVD with a couple of GB of video on it is a poor display system. LOL
    I'll re-organize the data into more, smaller folders and instruct the recipients to be patient or drag the folders to their desktop.

  • Solved: DVD-ROM and K7N2G compatibility

    Seems that the BTC BDV-108A is compatible, but won't read DVD-R or DVD+R...I was misled by BTC, dammit. It's not a compatibility issue.
    Although it looks like a CD Drive from Windows, a regular DVD will work.
    Gotta get a new DVD-ROM...thinking about a CD-R/W-DVD-ROM combo. Any suggestions?

    MSI has a nice combo drive. I think it's the X48 model. I can't get there right at the moment because their web page is having an issue.
    I was thinking about it as well. Than I can get rid of my existing two for the one and save some space.

    When problems occur go back to basics.  You stated D: is unreadable but C: partition is readable (if I understood right).
    As sharp said use only one stick of ram.  Remove any additional PCI cards installed other than Video.  Do not plug in anything but the hard drive set to master.
    Check to see if system will detect.
    If at this point it properly detects your drive, check for a boot to windows.  If it boots then remove the hard drive and try just the CD-ROM for detection purposes.  If this detects try them together again, if they fail to detect you most likely have a power supply issue.  And yes, PSU issues can crop up very suddenly.
    If this fails take the Hard Drive to a friend and have them test it along with the CD-RW/ROM drives.  If they work there and your issue still persists when you have eliminated all other possible points of failure you probably have a bad motherboard.
    Sorry i forgot to tell that the harddisk that the D: cannot unreadable is i check it on other system as a slave.
    Okay i will try your suggestion.
    Thanks for your comment
