No Windows 64 bit Driver for GT30L SATA DVD Drive

I recently updated my compaq presario to Windows 8.1. I've been pleased with the change but Windows installed an incomaptible driver for my DVD drive. It installed the driver for the 32 bit OS. From what I've learned 32 bit drivers can't work in a 64 bit system. Here is a link where I discovered this:

Storage controller driver for 4TB SATA drive

Hi,
I am having trouble initializing a brand new 4TB SATA drive (Seagate Barracuda 3.5") . I am connecting it to my HP Envy 17 (Windows 7 64-bit) through a USB 3.0 hard drive dock for backup purposes only. Initialised it using GPT but nevertheless it refuses to show the true volume of the new HDD and the system keeps on recognizing it as a 1677.9GB drive.
I have been reading a little about this issue online and guess that only the volume above 2.2TB is detected but could not find a solution anywhere and Seagate doesn't offer one either. Have already tried to update the driver for this HDD (Microsoft driver version 6.1.7600.16385; driver date 6/21/2006) but the system tells me this driver should be up to date.
Thank you in advance for all your advice and guidance !

Hi,
Check with the manufacturer of the external USB dock and make sure that it supports 4 TB hard drives.
Otherwise open up the RUN window (Admin) and try the following:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x ----> x equals the target disk
clean
exit
Now unplug the USB drive and plug it back in. You should get a prompt to format and initialize the HD. Choose GPT and assign a drive letter and label.

Installing Windows XP on Lion using external DVD drive

Hi, this is my first time posting on a forum at all, so just keep that in mind when dealing with me.
I have recently attempted to install Windows XP by partitioning my drive using the disk utility (seeing as Bootcamp no longer supports Windows XP installations). The problems start when I boot from the installation disk; an error "no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key" occurs. I am inclined to believe that this is due to me using an external DVD drive when doing all of this. I am using an external DVD drive because my internal DVD drive has been spoilt and is no longer useable.
Does anyone have a solution for me? It seems that it is not possible to install windows using an external DVD drive.

I am doing this after doing a full wipe of my hard drive and reinstalling lion.
Previously, I had lion, and made a partition using disk utility and booted from the disk (this time it was from my Mac's SuperDrive which was functioning perfectly at this point in time) and finished the installation completely fine. I then used the drivers that were in my Snow Leopard DVD (I have a Snow Leopard DVD from a previous Mac I purchased).
The only difference between then and now is that I am using an external DVD drive.

Can I add a sata dvd drive to foxconn mcp73m01h1

Compaq sr5450f product kj383aa#aba,{Personal Information Removed}--motherboard foxconn mcp73m01h1 has receiver for four (4) sata connections. I assume thta I can use one for an added hard drive --but can I also use one for a sata dvd rw drive? The original dvd drive was pci not sata. I would think I need the data cables. Am i correct?
This question was solved.

Hi:
That shouldn't be a problem at all.
Yes, you will also need to have an available sata power cable near where the drive will go, and a sata data cable of the appropriate length.

Install Windows 7 USB Load Drive A required CD/DVD drive device driver error

I am trying to do a fresh install on a brand new laptop. I have downloaded a couple of Windows 7 iso images. I have used DiskPart to prepare my USB device and have used the Microsoft usb iso tool to put the Win7 iso image on to the USB device. I always seem
to get stuch after I click Install it quickly comes up with a problem.... Load Driver - A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now... I am installing from a USB drive
so why does Windows require a CD/DVD driver? How do I get Windows 7 to install?
I have read other forums were people have put it down to a corrupt download but I have tried with a couple of different downloads and same problem everytime!
Please help!
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
This error message appears if the disk controller mode is incompatible during setup. And it can be caused by your CD/DVD drive may be incompatible with Microsoft’s AHCI driver. To work around this
issue, please go to BIOS and disable AHCI mode for your disk controller. You can change the AHCI mode to IDE or ATA mode instead.
It may also occur if the media is corrupted. Please visit the following link to rebuild the bootable USB stick for Windows Server 2008 R2:
Building a bootable USB stick for Windows 7/Windows Server 2008
R2
And please check the USB disk: put the USB disk in other machines and boot to see if it works.
Please make sure that the download files are not corrupted.

Does anyone know when the Mac Pro switched from ATA to SATA DVD Drives

Does anyone know when the Mac Pro switched from ATA to SATA DVD Drives ?
I tried to find this answer online but failed.

Appears the Mac Pro (Early 2008) is the last model to suggest Ultra ATA/100 optical.
And with an optional card, use Serial Attached SCSI via Mac Pro Raid.
This kind of information gets sketchy in that the hard drive bus and other parts are SATA
and only this (and earlier) model Mac Pro has optical drive interface w/ Ultra ATA/100. The
logic board on the early 2008 appears to have two Serial ATA ports, 3.0GBPS; so to check
these, you may need to look into specification in iFixit.com repair guides, any takeapart
guides, and note specifications in everymac.com and those from mactracker.ca.
The MacPro after Early 2008 model build series (Early 2009) appears to sport an optical
drive with 18x speed, compared to Early 2008 & before, whose drives indicate 16x spec.
Other changes may be indicated by certain parts and differences; processors, graphic
support, and those kinds of things. 2008 shows dual-core, afterward, quad-core.
So on what little I found, that would appear to be the divide or when optical drive spec
on the logic board changed from Ultra ATA/100 to SATA versions. But double check.
Good luck & happy computing!

Problems with SATA DVD drives

I recently purchased this MacPro. I have since added 2 SATA DVD drives to the system that originally had 2 PATA drives. The problem that I am having is that initially I can eject the disk from both drives but after 5 minutes both drives stop responding and neither will eject. Has anyone else had similar problems. I would appreciate any ideas.

Yes I did. When I unchecked it I was able to eject them. Thank you very much. I knew it was something simple that I was missing.

Not advised it will not work or fit correctly you need to have a adapter to make that fit and as the other poster said your speed will be slower. Also you can get laptop drives each that are 2tb in both bay without needing to take out the OD drive itself. Did you look into that before getting a SSD.

CD or DVD drives for a sat pro 6000

any one know if i can put a Model number SD-C2302 dvd player in to a sat pro 6000 lab top or no of any that i can put in please?

Hi Adrian,
You are mostly correct in your statement about CD/DVD drives for your notebook. However, it is important that you only buy drives with dimensions similar to your current model.
Generally CD/DVD drives come in two varieties, those destined for tower type installation and those destined for notebooks. The latter are usually designated as 'slim' or 'slimfit'.
To install the new drive you usually need to unscrew and remove any fitting brackets used to anchor your drive to your notebook together with any plastic trim components. These will then need to be attached to your new drive.
Toshiba notebooks use various drives (Toshiba, TEAC, Mat****a, etc.) so you will generally have a reasonably wide variety to choose from.
Finally, you may need to download drivers for your new drive if none are provided or if your purchase an OEM version. These can be obtained from the drive manufacturers web-site.

Where is driver for hl-dt-dvd-ram gh15l ata for vista 32 bit pavillion a6610?

I installed Norton security 2012 and it uninstalled the previous version as well as corrupting the driver for the DVD-Rom which now doesn't appear and needs the driver reloaded. When I go to the drivers site at HP they don't list that driver just a driver for a later version.
Thank You

Windows Vista will not recognize the dvd drive in my Mac Pro

After running windows updates, Windows Vista can no longer find the drivers for the dvd drive. Any suggestions?

Thank goodness for restore points. That was all I needed to do (system repair, do you want to restore to last check point) to be up and running.
I found my problem documented as an issue with Samsung SATA + Windows 7, and my X58. Curious, as moving a working system from one motherboard to another would always end up with Samsung SATA DVD not working, but LG is fine... so looks like time to buy another SATA DVD.
This from /technet.microsoft.com exactly describes the issue:
*CD/DVDRW from TSSTCorp (Samsung) drive, after install W7 without any problem not recognized...* | Modified on 9/9/2009 4:48 PM by lmarcelo
CD/DVD/rw do not respond on the Windows 7 Professional RC 32 bit, I have an Intel G35 desktop board, and 2.3 Ghz. CPU Intel Dual-Core 2, with sata optical drive. (From Samsung) Works fine in the raw clean install, but after the second reboot in the device manager appears with a yellow triangle, so I can't read nor write any CD or DVD.
I did this several times, (Format and install), even with a new CD drive, but it's always the same. Using a 160 Gb. WD hard disk, and alternated with a 400 Gb Samsung Sata HD make no difference at all.
Problem: Can't do anything with CD-DVD drive. (Messagge in the Device System General tab Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)).
By the way, this configuration was working fine in XP Pro. SP3. Any hint? clue? same problem? any one?
