Pioneer sata dvd-rw not recognized

I have a Pioneer sata dvd-rw not recognized problem. I installed a new Pioneer dvd burner. It is Sata. It works fine, but every time I boot into Win xppro sp3 I get the found new hardware, it lists the correct drive and has the error that it cannot be installed. Just have to cancel that message, but yesterday I went to install a new copy of windows on another drive connected to the the pc, the windows cd booted up asked the usual questions and then started setup and message came up and said it could not continue, because there was no cd drive. Once I quit laughing and pointing to the cd drive, I figured I better find out if it came be fixed. I also have a sata hard drive connected internally to the pc. This works fine also. If I boot to the sata drive the sata dvd burner is recognized and it is installed. Works fine. Does anyone want to tackle this one? I tried showing the windows cd where the burner was and expained to it that it was inside the drive already, but it just won't listen. The pc worked fine with the old ide drive. Thanks in advance.

XP Prof installation on Tecra A9 PTS52E - SATA HDD is not recognized

Hi all,
I have a brandnew Tecra A9 (PTS52E) with Vista Business installed. However, I need XP Prof and have a slipstreamed XP-SP2 CD. The SATA Disk is not recognized from XP setup, so I need a 'F6' driver.
There are a lot of howtos about doing this for the 945 chipset, but I couldn't solve this on my A9 (Mobile 965 Express Chipset). I don't want to buy a USB-Floppydisk drive just for one-time-installation. So I have to build the driver (iastor.sys and more) in the XP setup disc.
Some problems: there seems to be no easy way to do this, because intel only provides *.inf files for the ICH8R (=RAID) controller, which doesn't exist in the A9. So I have to edit the *.inf files, correct?
Another thing: I saw in another posting here the discussion about switching from AHCI to compatibility mode in BIOS. I can't find a way to change this setting.
Aargh, I need this Notebook for my work, on a A8 (which also is mine) I installed XP without any problems.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Michael

Hi,
now i have a new problem: the last reboot after installation finished leads to bluescreen and immediately reboot (so I can't see the stop-message)
During installation the reboot from Harddisk works.
But so far:
you need the latest Intel Chipset Driver:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/T8Clearance.aspx?url=/13499/a08/infinst_autol.exe&agr=N&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=134 99&lang=deu
Next you must extract the files in a temp directory:
IATA75 _ENU.exe -a -a -pC:\temp\AHCI
Now edit the file iaahci.inf:
you have to change all the ICH8R related entries (R means RAID, which isn't supported in that A9 version of the chipset) to ICH8. Also change the related PCI-device IDs from 0x8086h/0x2821h (Vendor/Device ID) to 0x8086h/0x2824h.
The best way I think is to copy all ICH8R related sections and replace "ICH8R" with "ICH8" and "2821" with "2824".
As you need the driver during installation, you also have to change these settings in txtsetup.oem.
The next steps I found in a ASUS forum (they have similar problems):
create a new (personalized) installation CD for Windows XP
STEP 1: Modify the original XP installation files
a) Copy all the files and directories of the XP installation disk to your hard drive
Ex: form D:*.* (your installation CD) to C:/XP/*.* (your HD)
b) Create the following directory path:
XP\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SATA
c) Copy all the files of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (see solution I) to that directory: XP\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SATA
iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat, iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat, iaStor.sys, and TxtSetup.oem.
d) Copy iaStor.sys to XP\i386 directory
e) Modify the file TXTSETUP.SIF located at: XP\i386
=> You can read and understand what you are doing reading Adding OEM drivers to Windows Setup at http://www.windowsserverx64.com/CSK/technical_articles/hardware/56.aspx (really nice article form Robert. Thanks)
Use: notepad.exe to edit it.
e.1) Under [HardwareIdsDatabase] add the following lines
right after GenFloppyDisk = "flpydisk"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
and before PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1230 = "intelide",
Note: dont touch any other line. Be carefull, the name iaStor => is case sensitive.
e.2) under [SourceDisksFiles] add
iaStor.sys = 1,,_x,4,1
Note: There are several [SourceDisksFiles] sections. I added the line in all the existing sections.
e.3) under [SCSI.Load] add
iaStor = iastor.sys,4
e.4) under [SCSI] add
iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)"
Note: If your controller is a different one, use the right one. Read the contents of the TxtSetup.oem file for more information.
f) Create a new file called (use notepad) WINNT.SIF and locate it at: XP\i386

Now use a tool to create a bootable CD. I prefer "AutoStreamer" because I also have to slipstream SP2 into my XP Prof. CD.
With it you generate an iso image. Burn it to disk and that's it.
Like I've said: installation works well, just the last reboot from disk creates a bluescreen and therefor a bootloop.

My dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark.

my dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark. Tried uninstallingdevice drive and scanning for new hardware. scanned for updates, etc. I getting no results. The laptop is a Pavilion DV5. Thanks

Hi,
It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
From 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, open Device Manager, right click the DVD drive and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows rediscover the device and check.

HT5639 after The Boot Camp for Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

after i made The Boot Camp Setup for running Microsoft Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

thanks for the response
1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion

New Pioneer DVD drive not recognized in profiler

I have used these forums many times to solve my problems so a big thanks to everyone who contributes. I've never had to actually ask a specific questions until now so here goes....
I have an e-mac running 10.3.9. My superdrive started to get flakey (not recognizing some DVD's, spitting them out, etc.). I followed all the advice here but no luck so I finally replaced the original drive with a Pioneer DVR-118. My problems still exist and the system profiler is telling me I have a Pioneer DVR-106. Did I do something wrong on the install? Shouldn't the profiler recognize the new drive?
A big thank you to anyone who can help me through this.

Since your computer's Apple Hardware Test is on a disc and the built-in optical
drive won't work, you may have to see if an external optical drive capable of
being used as a boot, is available. This of course would be a FireWire combo
type drive that can read & write DVD & CD media and boot Macs.
You may have to see if you can archive anything worth saving from that eMac
and put it on media via another computer; if the eMac can be booted into
Target Disk Mode where it is seen by another computer as a FireWire drive.
In fact, you could see (in a reverse scenario, perhaps?) if another computer's
optical drive could be used by your eMac, if a second healthy computer is
available & then boot it into FireWire Target Disk Mode to see if you can use
the optical drive in there as though it were a peripheral. - This may not work.
I've not had to really use FireWire Target Disk Mode, but do have cables,
and an externally enclosed LaCie FW HDD which is partitioned for clones.
There are times where a FireWire externally enclosed superdrive is handy.
There may be some damage on the logic board or some circuit that does the
controlling of ATA devices on one of the buses in the computer. That would
be a possible cause of the issue. If the identity of this drive can be changed
by the user before it is installed, be sure that is set correctly for use in eMacs.
{The three eMacs I've owned, had issues early on and I got rid of them in mere
days of first purchase; at considerable distance and effort by me. Then I got
an iMac which was an unholy terror to debug after an 'authorized service' ctr
did their best to kill logic boards and sell me defective store-brand RAM they
were authorized to install in a place I was not. ThreeThousand Miles and Six
Months later, I finally got my iMac back, repaired. Only because Apple told
them to read my test notes - & just install the parts I said it originally needed.}
Do you have a second Mac nearby (presuming yes, and using it online) which
may be used to attempta further diagnostic or testing of the eMac?
Not sure if an Apple Hardware Test would be sufficient to tell the issues in
your computer; if you have a way to make use of it via external FW. Hope-
fully someone with more extensive eMac and drive experience will advise.
Good luck & happy computing!

DVD burner not recognized in Leopard by iDVD 7.0.1

Not exactly the same problem I found in my searches, so made a new topic.
Setup: G4 tower, dual Giga Design 1.8 GHZ, 1.5 MB RAM, Pioneer 109 burner.
System Profiler shows ability to burner everything including +r DL.
I had to use a 3rd party hack to get iMovie 7.1 installed. Leopard did not recognize my 1.8 processor as legitimate. It would recognize it if downgraded to 1.7 GHZ, but I chose not to do so. iMovie 7.1 (iLife 08) now launches and works, but I used iMovie HD to make this project.
1. I have burned other DVDs in Leopard with this DVD burner successfully, including a usable (proven) backup of my Tiger and Leopard DVDs, both DL.
2. I have over 100 GB space available on my Startup drive as well as 80 GB on another internal drive that is storing the iMovie project. The imovie project in question is 15 GB.
3. After creating the project in iMovie HD, I exported ("shared") to iDVD 7.0.1, chose a built-in theme and started the burn process. All was going well, so I went to bed. G4 set never to sleep for this project.
4. Next AM found that "error - .... disk not burned due to burner not recognized (error xxxxx). Didn't get the exact error number, but the iDVD project, when saved to Desktop was only 137 MB. The iMovie HD project is 15 GB, so iDVD should have created a project about 3 + GB.
5. Have NOT tried Apple Hardware test. Doesn't make sense to do so when the burner works fine in Leopard for other projects.
Is this problem due to iDVD 7.0.1 failing to be compatible with my G4 configuration like iMovie 7.1? Got no warning when installing or launching iDVD from iLife 08.
Any suggestions? I hope I've given enough useful info.
Incidentally, I'm not in a corner, as I copied the iMovie Hd project to a fW drive, and then used iDVD 7.0.1 on my MB Core Duo to render and burn it. Just want to find out what the problem is with my G4.

I'll try that. It may work as it is not iDVD making the determination if the optical drive is "qualified" but DU. As I said in my original post, I have burned DVDs in this internal burner using Leopard and a Finder Burn Folder. It is only iDVD that is between me and success.
I did manage to get the iMovie HD project burned using iDVD 7 on my Intel iMac. I will try editing another iMovie HD project, exporting to iDVD7, and saving as a disk image to a FW drive. I will report back the results, but it may be a day or two before that happens.
I should also probably try the same routine that failed on the chance that it was just a fluke.

Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer. Could it be a failure of the controller? Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.

Msi K8t NeoFSR - HD/DVD/CDRW not recognized

hi friends,
I am not a computer genious...Just was excited to try build my own system....So but now facing a hard time....I have read almost every page of my manual...My hard drive manual..But was not able to fix the problem...
#I constantly keep on getting the following error:
PXE-E61 Media test failure, check cable
#and also i am surprised whehter my CD-ROM/DVD ROM DRIVES Should show LED even if not recognized...But none of my Optical drives glow LED.
D Bracket 2 - all lights green
NOW FOR THIS PROBLEMS I TRIED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING..
1)After reading some posts over this forum i did some of the bios changes
#BOOT ORDER (Shif + F10):I had following options of booting
(1)ROM DIABLE (2)INT 18h (3) Int 19h (4) Pnp/BEV (BBS).
I tried to boot with all above options...but none was working to find my hard drive..
#I went into BIOS ..Set settings to DEFAULT and then did following changes into Integrated Peripherals
VT8237 PATA contoller -enabled
VT8237 SATA Controller - disabled
IN OnBoard PCI controller
lan CONTROLLER - disabled..
AC'97 AUDIO -enabled
( i did not see p20378 SATA Controller- because probably thats option available on K8T NEO FIS2R and not for my motherboard)
2)Next i followed exactly the screens shown in manual.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/ma...?UID=496&kind=1
But that also did not help
3)I Changed to Seagate 15gb hard drive with windos 98 installed on it and only 1 optical drive..But then also BIOS did not recognized my hard drive
I also checked my 120 gig hard drive in my old system and it was working smooth...no problems at all..
4)I tried clear my BIOS and reset jumpers ....But the same things keep on occuring.
5)I tried the 4 pin from PSU that i used for HD and DVD-ROM...Whether they carry power ? I plugged into front neo light of case...and the 4 pin carries power and front case LED Works with all the pins......
They why my PSU does not start LED of my optical drives ?
So can someone help me to findout whats going on?
Is my motherboard dead...Or i am fool enough not able to fix this...I have been working on this since 2 days...and now completely lost any hope that i will be able to boot my system anytime....
ANY help Please.....Thanks...

External DVD Drive Not Recognized

Just got a Toshiba portable supermulti DVD/CD drive. My internal drive is fried and figured it would be cheaper to get an external until I can get a new computer. Except, when I plug it into either of my USB ports, the drive lights up and makes noise for about 10 secs, then stops and it does not register on my computer. The drive shows up on the System Profiler, but nowhere else is it recognized. When I try to open Disk Utility, it just says 'Gathering Disk Info' and just pinwheels and is Not Responding until I Force Quit. Any thoughts as to what the issue is? My computer recognizes my external hard drive, iPod and anything else I plug into it and the DVD drive was recognized no-problem by my Dad's new Macook Pro and by my brother's PC. I should say I have the 2007 model Pro. Thanks!

Is the DVD drive externally powered? I.e. does it have a power supply?
For exmple my LG external DVD won't work with a single USB on my Macbook Pro - it requires another usb cable that has a power plug on the end. So both USB ports are used.
It kinda works without power, but it's unreliable, it could be you're having a similar issue?

DVD drive not recognized after Security update

Hello -
Well, for whatever reason I decided to apply some Apple software updates today. I repaired permissions, did a back up to an external Firewire drive with SuperDuper and downloaded several packages - iDVD 6.0.2, iMovie 6.0.2, Quicktime 7.1, iPhoto 6.0.3, iWeb 1.1, and Security Update 2006-003. I installed the Security Update and rebooted. I had read about an issue with DVDs, so promptly inserted a DVD-R disc of mine with a movie on it (not a commercial DVD, footage I had shot on my own). It was not recognized. I restarted with the mouse button held, no luck. I repaired permissions, no change.
I restarted from the backup on the external drive and cloned the backup over to my Powerbook. The problem did not go away, there the DVD sits, unrecognized. Tried to see if DVD player would see the DVD, got a message "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]" disc burning in System profiler says no burning device was found. Tried to re-install DVD player via 4.6.1 update, got a message "Compatible DVD hardware was not detected, installation will not proceed".
Where to next? I haven't booted into open firmware to try to eject the disk that way, but one post on the discussions here somewhere had no luck. I'd really rather not erase and re-install and migrate from my back-up, but if that is all that's left, ok. Thanks for your help.
BTW, 10.4.6 ona 1.5 GHz Al PowerBook with 2GB RAM, not original RAM but Samsung from OWC. Thanks again.

Well, one thing I had not tried was to reset PRAM//NVRAM. I combined that step with shutting down, unplugging the power cord and letting it sit for 15 minutes. Reconnected power, restarted while holding cmd-option-P-R through the second start-up chime, and viola, my DVD appears on the desktop, the drive is listing in the system profiler, problem gone. Thanks all for the rapid responses.

New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

Hi all,
I have recently bought a brand new NEC ND-6650 DVD writer.
This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600, at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). Bios updates higher than version 2.60 are not provided.
Does this mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?
Thanks and best regards,
Nils

Hi Nils,
I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your notebook. As with all optical drives your new drive will be configured as either Slave or Master (or possible cable select), and this configuration must match your notebook.
Usually your hard drive will be configured as Master on IDE channel 0 with your optical drive being the slave device on the same channel. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as Master on IDE channel 1.
Normally the setting is pre-configured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure that they are the same.
regards,

DVDs Are Not Recognized

I updated my PowerMac (2.0GHz G5, 3GB RAM, LaCie dual-layer DVD burner) to 10.5.6. I tried burning a DVD (copied from a VHS tape and converted to a VIDEO_TS folder, and burned via Toast), and everything was fine, but it crashed halfway through burning the DVD. That's happened before (ever since switchig to Leopard), but not recently. So, I put in another DVD+R and the same thing happened. So, I restarted the machine, and now it won't even recognize that there's a disk in the drive.
So, I powered down and restarted the machine and the same thing happens. I also tried DVD+R DL, and they're not recognized, either. I haven't tried putting in a DVD movie yet, though.
Any ideas?
TIA

Thanks for the replies.
I tried to mount blank DVD-R and DVD+R discs with sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/CD.
I keep getting the answer: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0.
On some discs it returns with:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
but I have not been able to find a pattern for when it will do this.
I ran smartctl -T permissive -i /dev/sr0 with a disc in the drive and got this response:

My first thought is that the two thinkwiki pages that I posted have links to firmware updates far past 1.00. However, I still can't tell which drive I have.

[SOLVED] SATA DVD-RW not in /dev (IRQ problem?)

I have an nForce550 Gigabyte M55S-S3 motherboard, with a SATA HD and a SATA DVD.
I am able to use the HD, but somehow the DVD will not come up in /dev.
Now the HD is present as /dev/sda.
I have played around in the BIOS (as I had to disable some stuff to get sound woring), and I've found that if I disable IEE1394, than Arch will find the DVD drive as /dev/sda, but the HD will be gone (leading to a kernel panic).
Below is the - possibly - relevant part of dmesg. I don't know what the problem might be, but I suspect it's related to some IRQ thing, as enabling/disabling firewire enables/disables the DVD/HD. (Same thing happened with ide/paralell port and the sound card).
Any idea / help is welcome!
EDIT: I've just booted into a Knoppix live CD, with noapic pci=bios, and the DVD was mountable, worked just fine
The same params. did not help in Arch.

Well, after countless reboots, bios & sata cable tweaking, I made it work
I don't know what the problem was, but putting the HD on SATA II 1, DVD on SATA II 2, plus disabling paralell port in bios, the system booted fine [dvd and sound working too].
The strange thing is that Arch thinks the DVD drive is a HD, and tries to mount it at boot, but I'll live with that.

Previously burned DVD's not recognized

Since I upgraded to SL- I've started having problems with my Optical drive (I think).
Previously created older movies burned on DVD-Rs (G5 PPC) when inserted in my iMAC are not recognized as DVDs.
Instead I get a message that I've inserted a blank CD (not DVD) in the machine.
These movies used to play just fine on my iMAc and still do on stand-alone players.
My Mac further indicates that these are blank CDs -and can be re-burned (which should be impossible).
Also, if I insert an older DVD with a PAPER label, the optical drive spins down and stops dead.
Non-paper label disks spin normally.
Am I looking at a failing optical player-- failed software, or both?
any help appreciated.

"My Mac further indicates that these are blank CDs -and can be re-burned"
You cannot "reburn" DVD -Rs.
"Also, if I insert an older DVD with a PAPER label"
As a precaution, never insert a DVD or CD that has a paper label. The drive heat can sometimes melt the glue leaving little pieces of paper inside the slot drive during ejections, burning, etc. Reason why I hate slot drives. Wish Apple bring back the tray drives.
If I were you, I would clean my drive "several" times w/a drive cleaner, repair permissions and restart the computer after each burning session.
If little pieces of paper are stuck inside the drive, you will have no alternative but to take your computer to a repair shop for removal & cleaning.
