My CD/DVD Drive Lightscribe Optiarc AD7561S

My CD/DVD Drive have some problem it reads only specific CD/DVD how can i make it to read all the cd

Hi,
That is very normal for some ODD's specially with copied CD's/DVD's from other machines and/or some brands of CD's/DVD's. But please try this and hope.
Updated: I was trying to find a firmware for it but no luck, even back to 2004.
Regards.

  • Which kind of DVD Dual Layer work on MacPro DVD Drive?

    On my MacPro 2X3 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon I have, as a DVD Drive, an
    OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A:
    Revisione firmware: 1.N8
    Interconnessione: ATAPI
    Supporto masterizzazione: Sì (unità fornita da Apple)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Legge i DVD: Sì
    Masterizzatore CD: -R, -RW
    Masterizzatore DVD: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Strategie di scrittura: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
    Media: Inserisci il supporto e aggiorna per mostrare le velocità di masterizzazione disponibili
    Now, I purchased 50 not branded DVDs +R Dual Layer (like indicated by the features above) but every time I make a burning I get an error message on verifying ("....sector is unreadable").
    My supplier told me that
    "It is normal that all DVD writers have problems with some DVDs, while
    others work perfectly".
    So I don't know which DVD I can take..
    Has anyone used successfully some kind? And which?
    Tnx

    There is a web site that rates DVD media brands. Verbatim DL is what I use and never had trouble.

  • Using LightScribe DVD drive on another computer

    Hello! I was wondering if it is at all possible to use the built in LightScribe DVD drive that came with my relative's computer (it's a PC) to burn a DVD I made in iDVD. Is there a way for my Mac to recognize the DVD burner in the other computer if I hook it up to mine using USB or something?
    Thanks

    I think you might have to change the extension to: .iso
    This might help:

  • The lightscribe DVD drives does not read media. Attempted software upgrade to no avail. Error.

    The drive would not read media regardless of type or format of CD/DVD.  Downloaded and attemted lightscribe DVD software upgrade; however, during installation system generated error stating "InProc Error".  Something in programming of upgrade (get file...).

    You may want to try this Microsoft Fix-It.
    What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly?
    You could also try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
    If that doesn't work, you could try a recovery. Recovering your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system recovery will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide. On most models you can hold '0' (zero) with the computer turned off. Then press the power button while continuing to hold '0' until the recovery utlity starts.

  • DVD drive on laptop disappeare​d, among other problems.

    My laptop (HP Pavilion dv6921la, running Vista) started getting driver errors "without apparent explanation", first, the game controller devices cracked and the axis for movement became permanently tilted to the right. No apparent solution. No explanation for the sudden screw up.
    Later, DVD burner stops working completely. I check the drivers and there's a generic CD reader driver that failed to do anything. Coupled with the enormous heat the laptop gave (the fan sounded like a hair dryer), it was time for a reformat.
    So I just backed up everything with a measly 2GB SD card and used "reset to factory settings" on the laptop. Started trying apps, reinstalling things, etc. All good, no more horrendous heat, things go faster, drives work, (managed to get a glimpse of the DVD driver on the Device Manager, it was a Pioneer lightscribe drive) but when I plugged my mouse on one of the 3 USB ports it said that "the driver wasn't installed correctly" and whatever I try to plug in that port fails. Windows tells me "click here to check the driver" and it shows said port being stuck on "UNKNOWN DEVICE" and recognizing anything plugged in as such. At least the other ports work correctly.
    I start copying a game from a backup DVD so I can try the gamepad. I check the gamepad, doesn't work on the same port. Switch it to the next one and it started tilting again. I unplugged it and tried again and now it worked great.
    OK, so I return to the DVD to copy some other things and LOL, the drive again disappeared from the system, in the course of around 30 minutes between I copied the things and returned to copy more.
    I system restore'd and it didn't do anything. And the laptop was starting to heat up again. Desperate, I returned to factory settings once again. With the system in a total factory state, I tested the drive: It wasn't there again. The USB port still didn't work. I'm inclined to believe the physical drive has failed, but I don't know what I need to know to pick a new one. (do I have to open the laptop to check what kind of connection uses and all that? Or if you know the in-depth technical specs of this model, can tell me?) And I suppose the USB port is dead, so I'm gonna need an USB hub. (and a cooling system...) If not, any suggestions?
    I'm gonna do a last test with a Linux CD.

    Update: The BIOS didn't detect the drive, didn't appear in the CMOS setup utility. The laptop was frozen in the startup screen until I removed the Linux CD. Only after that I could boot up Windows.
    So I infer the drive is dead. Maybe as a result of the horrendous heat? Right now I'm getting a lot of bad heat by running a small game.

  • Cd/dvd drive inoperable

    My CD/DVD drive will not open, nor will it "spin" after I place a disc in the draw (I had to manually open the drawer).
     I have a Presario  F756NR notebook operating under Windows Vista  (32 bit).  The drive (according to the Device Manager screen) is an Optiarc DVD RW AD-7530B ATA Device.
    Someone suggested that it may be "unplugged" but I don't have a clue.
    What can I do to "test" or diagnose the problem?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated,
    Bob

    Hi Bob,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • IMac DVD drive issues (May 2011 Thunderbolt models)?

    I'm going nuts. I picked this machine back up three hours ago from the Apple Store, where they replaced my Optiarc DVD drive on my 27" iMac with a new one (and also the cable).
    I'm having the same danged problem. So either there's a rash of bad Optiarc drives out there, or the Apple Store didn't do crap.
    Without going into all of the headaches, these are the disk CRC-32's from the "iMac Mac OS X Install DVD" that came with the machine:
    On this machine:             $193BD913
    On the "good" machine:  $85FBE37B
    Image made on good:     $85FBE37B (i.e., I made a read-only disk image on the "good" machine of this disk)
    Image made on this:       "unable to verify" (twice)
    Can somerun please run a CRC32 checksum for me on their May 2011 Thunderbolt iMac DVD and confirm the correct checksum?
    I've tried similar DVD's with similar results.
    I'm confident I don't have a software conflict, because that's just illogical, and also this machine won't install from the DVD onto a fresh drive (in fact I had to make a USB key on the "good" machine to get this machine to work).
    Finally, is there a software method of determining the serial number of the Optiarc drive? System Profiler doesn't show it, and I want to make danged sure that they replace it next time.
    Thanks!

    No one can run a checksum for me in Disk Utility? Please?

  • DVD Drive issues with A700

     Hi there!
                  I am having problems with my DVD drive in my A700 machine. The drive is a Sony Optiarc DVD RW AD-7640S. When I put in in a disk I hear the drive spin but when I click to open the drive in My Computer it prompts to insert a disk and ejects the one in there, sometimes it will show two drives one as DVD and one as CD. I have tried many different types of disks as well as using the Lenovo Toolbox, which also asks me to insert a disk. I have removed the DVD drive in the device manager and reinstalled, the driver is listed as being Microsoft and up-to-date.
                  I have not been able to locate a different driver for this device even off of Sony's website the product is not listed. I considered a possibilty of a bad lens and wanted to replace the drive but notice that there is a seperate eject button in the casing of my machine, powered from the board. This DVD drive has the eject button to the far right and most that I am finding are off-center. Has anyone experienced this issue and believe it to be a driver problem and know where to get a driver? Or if I need to replace the drive can I use any notebook SATA drive or does it have to be this model because of the button in the casing?
                            Any suggestions are appreciated!

    hey kristin7522,
    welcome to the forums.
    i do find it weird that in My Computer it shows two optical drives when clearly you only have one and thus i would like you to get into device manager and uninstall the current driver for the DVD drive.
    this should then prompt windows to install generic drivers, let it do so.
    try again.
    if this does not work, head over to http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=399423
    check your system and if there is anything out of date; update it.

  • HELP! DVD Drive not showing on finder or desktop

    Hi, I am not a Mc OS expert. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with MAC OSX 10.7.5, and my original DVD drive died. I happened to have an HP Lightscribe DVD640, and I installed it, but, its icon does not show up!
    It is recognized by the system and Disk Utility, and if I insert a CD or DVD it reads it correctly, but when I remove it, there's no icon of the actual drive anywhere, so, I won't be able to open the drive to insert a new disc...
    I set the Finder preferences to show CDs and DVDs, but nothing shows...
    Any suggestion?

    but... this is a Mac Pro, it does not have a slot-in, how do I even open the drive? I was able to see the DVD drive icon before, and select "OPEN" and the tray would open, now, I don't se anything.

  • Boot Camp 2 issues: repartioning; DVD-drive; screen; sound; usb-power

    I found various problems in version 2 of Boot Camp (included in Leopard).
    1.
    After removing the Boot Camp 2 Windows partition, it is impossible to recreate a new Windows partition. Somehow the windows partition is not completely removed (?) and the Boot Camp Assistent goes on forever restoring the Macintosh HD to its original (one partition) state. Strangely, you can just quit the assistant during this process without consequences. Only repartitioning the complete HD using Disk Utility resolves this (this of course requires a complete reinstallation of OS X).
    2.
    After installation of Windows XP Pro, Windows treats the DVD-drive (OPTIARC DVD RW AD5630-A) as a removable media, just like a USB-memory. This means that you can remove the DVD hardware from the system(using the tray icon "Safe Removal hardware") by just one click. The DVD drive then completely disappears from 'My Computer' even with a CD in! The only way to get the DVD-drive back is by restarting Windows (inserting a disk can be done but it is impossible to access the disk; ejecting the disc is also impossible (the eject key on the mac keyboard doesn't work).
    3.
    I suspect that there is something wrong with the video driver in windows. This can be noted for instance with the black "moon crater" as the desktop image (lower left corner) or in the windows login-screen (lower blue part of the screen). The issue may be described as pixels varying in brightness and colour in a fast way. Pixels are not "constant" and it seems like a wave is moving over these parts of the screen. It seems more or less comparable to the problems reported with Boot Camp beta 1.4 on MPB's.
    4.
    I also suspect the windows sound driver (RealTek) not to be ok. Every Windows sound (startup Chime, warning, etc.) is followed by a strange electronic sound, as if the sound is echoing while fading away. I did not try to play an audio CD, but I think this may result in a not so pleasant experience.
    5.
    When I connect my 2 GB Kingston USB-memory to the internal hub of the new apple keyboard, Windows starts complaining that there is not sufficient power. The same configuration works without problems under Mac OS X.
    Has anyone similar experiences? To me it seems like Boot Camp is still in beta stage....

    I also encountered problems 4 and 5:
    *To no. 4: Distorted sound and background noise:*
    It's exactly the same as described by HLO-HL. As soon as the soundcard gets turned on in Vista (by any program i.e. iTunes, Mediaplayer) there is this background noise. Watching a DVD is almost impossible. Listening to music in iTunes is somewhat ok, but only at high volume (so the background noise cannot be heard) and it is still distorted sometimes.
    I tried about everything from installing the latetest Realtek driver, updating the Intel chipset drivers, to changing the bitrates and so on. Still no resolution found. It seems the many others experience the same problem (search for 'distorted sound Vista').
    *To no. 5: Low USB power reported*
    I got this message with every device I connected (no matter if it was a 2.5''-harddrive, a cardreader, a camera or just a simple memory stick ...

  • DVD drive (?) won't disappear from disk utility

    i was desperately hunting for a cd last night, and was going through various old cd is the vain hope i'd find a neglected blank one. I found what i assumed was a rewritable disc, which is something i haven't really been into, but seemed to be my saviour. i don't have toast so i went into disk utility to erase it. Except it wouldn't let me although i eventually managed to eject it
    (the ejecting of disks had been behaving weirdly beforehand. Everything seems to be working ok except there is an icon in disk utility that i can't eject or unmount

    is this the dvd drive? the now ejected disc? why can't i unmount it? It's there even after i restart my mac, many thanks

    This is perfectly normal, it is your optical drive you can not unmount or eject it.

  • DVD Drive Non-Function Mac Mini 3,1 (late 2009)

    Hi
    The DVD drive in my Mac Mini has recently become non-functional, "About this Mac" sees the drive fine,
    OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S:
      Model:          OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S               
      Revision:          2AHI

      Bay Name:          Upper
    But when you insert a disc there is no response, it does not see to attempt to read it just ejects after about 20-30 seconds.
    Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? This issue started sometime after I upgraded the memory, but I cannot be sure that the two things are connected as I very rarely use the DVD drive and the first time I tried to use it was several months later.
    Many Thanks

  • New DVD Drive reads some DVD's not all, why?

    Hi,
    I recently replaced my old dvd/cd drive in my notebook pavillion 2945se.  It seems to work well except it only reads some store bought dvd's.   It can read Star Trek: voyager, dc movies, disney,  star wars discs, and most other store bought dvds  but doesn't read marvel movies, import movies.  
    All of these were readable with my old drive.  All other functions such as burning dvd/cd, and even lightscribing work.  I have updated as far as everything that I can including codecs and using microsoft "fix-it" support which actually fixed some burning issues. 
    My theory is that the drive is more sensitive to flawed or dirtier discs, but considering these were readable before.  Is there a fix for this? 
    I'm hoping that there is a fix for this since there are not many options for my laptop drive.  Currently it is: 
    tsst corp cd/dvdw ts-l632m ata device
    Thanks for your help.

    Firmware update of DVD drive may solve your problem. But the main problem is to find the correct one. I found this by google.
    However, I'm not recommend it, since I dont have real experience updating ts-l632m. I updated my DVD drive of dell notebook a while ago but using the recommended firmware from dell site.
    Pavilion DV2922TX, XP-SP3 32bit, Intel T5750 2.0Ghz, Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS with 128MB, 4GB 667 DDR2, 250GB HDD

  • I want a 2nd DVD drive for my iMac

    Hi
    Have a new 24" Alloy iMac and well, having moved my main computer from a PC to a MAC is great, iLove it! Problem though is there are lots of times where I could utilize a 2nd CD/DVD drive. Apparently the external drive for the MacBook Air is exclusive to that (which doesn't make any sense to me - Apple would sell a ton of these if they made them non-specific rather than to only a small % of sales). So I've been poking around here on the forums and I've seen some referenced to MacSales.com site - but with such a beautiful machine as an iMac, I can't bring myself to getting one of these butt ugly things. Found a handsome LG CD/DVD with Lightscribe external drive, but no evidence of Mac support.
    Where can I get, or how can I get an external DVD drive for my Mac? I'd rather avoid patching if possible.
    Better still: Apple - update the MacAir drive to be universal for your machines please!
    Thanks!

    OWC (macsales.com) would be a good source, since they are very Mac-centric and should know what works well and what does not work well with Macs and Mac OS X.
    They may be boxy and "ugly" but those full-sized tray-loading drives are the most reliable type. Plus with a tray-loader, you can read the strangely shaped and mini- discs that would choke a slot-loader.
    If you want more style, LaCie is also Mac-oriented and they have some choices.
