SATA DVD Writer not detected when AHCI mode is selected in BIOS

I just finished setup my rig and I can't get the motherboard to detect the Sony SATA DVD Writer (connected to 1 of the ICH9R ports) in AHCI mode. As soon as I switch to IDE mode everything is fine. I have tried changing the delay in the AHCI menu but it doesn't help.

Which BIOS version are you using, with BIOS 1.4 & 1.6 I have had no problems running my liteon SATA in AHCI in P35 Platinum (same PCB as yours), it is known that some optical drives don't like AHCI. If you havent already I would suggest trying one of the BIOS versions I have used that should tell us if it is the BIOS or the drive.

Fire X2250 / Hard disks not detected in AHCI mode

we have two Sun Fire X2250 servers. one i have completely setup already with an OS, using AHCI mode for the hard disks in the BIOS.
on the second server, i setup the disks the same way using AHCI. the system booted and detected all of the disks, and i installed an OS. now, after rebooting, the disks are not detected; the BIOS is stuck on 'detecting SATA channel 0'. if i remove the drive on SATA0, then the BIOS gets stuck on 'detecting SATA channel 1'. the BIOS isn't frozen, because i have left it waiting for several minutes, then pushed F2 and i saw it changed to "Entering setup..." i can never get to setup, though, because the disks are never detected. if i unplug both HDD's, then i can get into BIOS setup. i have tried loading failsafe as well as optimal defaults. this resets it back to IDE mode, and the disks are detected fine but, as soon as i change to AHCI mode, the BIOS can't detect the disks. again, the other X2250 is working just fine with AHCI. these servers are practically brand-new (have been sitting in storage for some time) and this is the first time they have been configured.
i also tried removing power from the server for at least 2 minutes, and i also took out the battery for well over 30+ seconds. the strange thing is, that doesn't seem to have cleared the CMOS because, as soon as the BIOS comes up, it is still stuck 'detecting SATA channel 0' whereas i would have expected it to be reset to IDE mode and detect the disk.
what's happened?

i was finally able to clear the CMOS by powering up the system with the battery removed. disks are detected fine but, as soon as i change to AHCI mode (leaving everything else as it is), the BIOS still freezes at "Auto-detecting SATA PORT 0".
i compared the BIOS settings with the working X2250 and copied them over exactly, but still the issue remains. is some piece of hardware failing?

Dvd writer not recognized

i recently got a toshiba satilitte a45-s130 from my sister-in-law.
i recently bought a samsung dvd writer to replace the one that came with the laptop.
the computer doesn't recognize the samsung dvd writer. It doesn't recognize it in the bios, device manager, and in my computer.
the samsung dvd writer is a sn-s082h/ bebn. i'm currently running windows xp service pack 3. The computer will still recognize the old drive, but not the new one. the old one was a toshiba sd-r2412. i also receive an IDE # 1 ERROR, when the laptop boots up ,but i don't have any other problems.

It sounds like a Master/Slave setting issue. Not all slimline drives have jumpers for this, some require a firmware setting change, others have solder pads.

P43 Neo-F: SATA DVD writer

Good day,
I recently bought a LG GH22LS30 SATA DVD writer. Seeing that it is a SATA drive, I figured there would be no more worries about primary slave/master and so forth as with the IDE drives. I just plugged the SATA cable into one of the SATA ports (I think SATA5). The drive can read CDs and DVDs, but when I try to burn a CD, it keeps on failing.
I know there is a lot I need to check before I can determine if the drive itself is faulty, but I wanted to make sure whether it makes a difference to which SATA port the drive is connected on the MB.
Thank you.

Great !

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.

X-fi fatal1ty device not detected when running speaker selection wizard

Gx-fi fatalty device not detected when running speaker selection wizard? ?
System is a custom build, based off an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, with two GTX7800 display cards. in a SLI configuration
Fresh installation fo Windows XP Profesional with SP3 slipstreamed.
Origional CD fails to detect the card, claiming a supported device is not present.
This card has worked prevously, and is verified as fully functional in windows Vista. ?
Please note Windows Vista can not be used.
I have tried about 30 different versions of the drivers (each on a clean installation) and used both clean and dirty boots, and nothing is working.
Before anyone points me at other threads in this forum, please note i have been scouring this forum for the past week trying every sugestion there is, and I have raised a ticket with Creative (who despite the prommise of a 2 day responce, have yet to respond)
I have tired multiple versions of the NForce drivers, NVidia display drivers, Creative Drivers, Bios updates, Chipset hacks and more.
does anyone hav a sugestion that is not already posted on this forum.

Tried it on one of the spare PC's in the house earlier (Nforce 2 based) - still no recognition of the card whatsoever, it's as if it doesn't exist.
I'm guessing that the card is pretty much toasted eh?

Ipad 2 not detected in recovery mode on my ASUS Windows 7 laptop

I have had this issue on all my idevices since I got this laptop, so this isn't directly associated with the new update.
I can sync my idevices with itunes on my laptop without any issues, but every time I try to install an iOS update, when it get to the stage where it is "preparing to restore your device" or some such, the laptop installs a new device driver and then itunes just spins awhile until it finally spits out error 1601 and then the device is stuck on the screen where it prompts you to connect to itunes.
At this point itunes on my laptop will not detect the device. I can see it listed in my device manager and it claims the usb driver is working correctly, however it no longer makes the beeping sound when I plug or unplug the cable, though it does disappear and reappear in device manager, which indicates it recognizes ipad plugged in, but not in the same way.
I have tried all the advice on the apple website re: unintalling reinstalling itunes an all it's components, disabling antivrus, firewall and non essential services, removing usb devices etc to no avail.
If I take my device over to my parents 32 bit vista desktop it recognizes it, installs the driver and itunes recognizes an ipad in recovery mode and I was able to restore the software and update to the new iOS on that desktop, then had to bring it back to my laptop to restore the software from my last backup.
My first question is....when the new ios is being installed is it putting the device into recovery mode as part of the process or is it going into recovery mode because the process errors out? If it's the former, then my assumption is that the whole issue is that for some reason something on my laptop is stopping itunes from being able to recognize my ipad while in recovery mode. If the later, then ?
My second question is....is the problem the driver, the usb port or something else unique to the laptop? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but if i let winows detect it after uninstalling it can't find a driver and i get the exclamation point. If i try to manually install per the apple instructions, it tells me that the driver file is not compatiable with my device. So either windows is somehow installing the wrong driver while device is in recovery or the comp isn't detecting what type of device it is properly or ?
I'm hoping maybe i can get the next os update over the cloud and this will become a non-issue, but having to go borrow a pc to update this thing gets really old as the laptop is my only computer, so any ideas would be appreciated.
Laptop is an ASUS ROG - not sure the exact model running 64 bit Windows 7 It has two usb ports and i have the same issue on either one.
The PC i successfully updated my device on is an older Dell running a 32 bit version of Vista

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

DVD drive not detected (K9N2GM-FD)

For some reason my motherboard( K9N2GM-FD) is not detecting my DVD drive.
Here is the setup I'm using:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 Brisbane 2.7GHz
Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
MSI K9N2GM-FD AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
a lite on DVD drive(model DH-20A4P33C) I bought at walmart
Antec NeoPower 550 550W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
The DVD drive is an IDE drive and it's getting power(I can open and close it).
I tried changing some things in the bios, trying a different drive, and trying a different IDE cable still can't get it to work.
every thing passes post test.
And the bios is version 1.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You did use proper standoff's to mount the board in the case?
yes
BTW, the controller is turned on I presume.
yes
If all is mounted correctly and there isn't any short, then I would RMA the board.
Ok I'll RMA it
Thanks for the help

DVD drive not detected anymore

Hi,
four weeks ago or so, I suddenly started to miss my DVD drive in my mount- and even in my /dev folder. From some point of time on (most likely some kernel patch), it just wasn't detected anymore.
Technically it still works, I can still boot from boot CDs, it's appearantly just a kernel detection thing.
I have this mainboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P4VM890 with my harddisk hanging on IDE0 and my DVD drive and CD writer on IDE1.
The output of dmesg doesn't mention anything else then the successful detection of sda0-5.
Things I tried already are:
-Pata hook only, IDE hook only, both, including kernel update.
-Putting ide_disk, cdrm, piix into the MODULES section.
-All combinations of master/slave settings for my HDD and other drives on poth IDE ports.
-All related BIOS-settings
-CK-Kernel, Beyond, etc.
Now in this Thread coolpyrofreak suggested to reinstall Arch with IDE-legacy enabled.. which I guess I have to try at some point, but I don't relly want to install another distribution or windows just be able to burn another arch cd.. and even though it's probably not too much of a hassle to reinstall arch and just keep my old home folder, I thought I'd give it one last try here. I still hope the ide-legacy-option can be activated afterwards. Does anyone know how? Or does anyone have any other idea what I should do?
Thanks in advance.

Iirc ide-legacy has the same result as using ide instead of pata in mkinitcpio.
I've encountered the same problem in my desktop : DVD writer disappeared twice , but came back a few updates later
currently it has disappeared again ...
Using ide or pata doesn't make a difference, i'm inclined towards a kernel/udev/hal related combination problem.

TM - External Disk Drive Not Detected in Recovery Mode

Hello Apple Lovers,
I am using the My Passport for Mac 500GB disk drive with time machine on my MacBook Air to create data backups.
I checked the disk for any corruption using Disk Utility. No issues were found. I find the disk works excellantly in terms of creating backups and restoring them inside time machine.
I cannot detect my external disk for restoring entire images of the OSx in recovery mode. For some reason, TM will not detect my backup disk in the recovery mode. I use the WD Security software on my disk to lock it, however, never before has the security lock posed any problem to me. I used to see a prompt appear for me to unlock the drive in recovery mode on attempting to access the TM backups.
Please take your time in replying to my post. I recovered my entire system last week and restored all the data using TM's twlight view. No rush! I successfully created a backup of my fresh OSx Mavericks on the MacBook Air with all the data restored using TM. I only wanted to troubleshoot this issue in case something occurs in the future that may require me to restore data using TM in recovery mode.
I browsed extensively through many of the discussions covering Time Machine. None mentioned my particular dilemma. Any assistance would be a valuable controbution not only to me, but other Apple users who may purchase My Passport for Mac drives and encounter a similiar problem.

You will need to avoid using third party software if you hope to access the disk and data in recovery mode.
If the WD software encrypts your data recovery mode will need a way to decrypt it. Recovery mode is a 'reduced mode' that only runs Apple software (not third party software) so the WD drivers that decrypt the disk will not be installed & Disk Utility or Migration Assistant will not be able to open the data on the disk.
There have been long threads that make me steer clear of using ANY Western Digital drive software with 10.9.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5475136?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6202 <- WD had to remove software from Macs because it ruined peoples data on 10.9.
There are other threads on WD disk tools causing errors on 10.9, external hard disks do not require the use of additional software on OS X - these apps & drivers are mostly junk that is not a good idea to install.
If you really want to protect your data with encryption the features are already built in to OS X, it's called Filevault. It will encrypt your internal HD & your Time Machine backups (when the OS is encrypted). It works with Apple tools & doesn't rely on any third party drivers.
You will need to disable the 'WD security lock' and make sure the disk works without the WD software if you hope to have any chance of reading it in recovery mode.

Please Help me..... DVD drive not detected, Vista home basic 32 bit

Hi,
I have a compaq presario v3702au laptop with Vista basic 32 bit OS.
The dvd drive has suddenly vanished and is not detect by device manager. It show up in the BIOS and brifly powers up while booting(tray comes out on pressing the button) , but does not recieve power once booted( tray does not come out on pressing the button).
there are no upper and lower filters present so this remedy is not for me, ms fixit tool also could not help as it could not find any optical drive.
The hardware itself seems to be alright because if I press F8 to get to boot options ( Safe mode, etc) and insert a disc , the drive tries read it (ie. Drive receives power, tray opens and the disc also spins), but once the boot starts the dvd button becomes non functional as if it is not receiving power.
I really need my optical drive and would greatly appreciate any help on this .
Thanks in advance,
Sankr

So does it fully boot from the optical drive? All the other symptoms you describe are fully consistent with a dead drive, but if you can boot to a bootable disk then the drive is OK

DVD Drive not detected after Vista reinstall/recover

Hi,
I was having various problems with my computer (dv6815nr) so I did a complete recovery using the recovery image
on the hard drive. Everything seems to work now except the dvd drive is not working. it is not detected in device manager.
I have tried all the fixes and "mr. fix its" that i could find on the ms knowledge forum. i have also checked the registry for the upper/lower filters as described on the ms website and also in this forum. i have also removed, rebooted, shutoff and then reinstalled the drive with no results. any help would be greatly appreciated.
gocd1

yes, the drive was working immediately before the recovery. I noticed that the drive was not working when i went to install the windows ultimate upgrade disc. drive lights up, spins disc and then nothing. Also, i have physically removed the drive from the computer, shut off computer removed power supply (cord and battery) held down power button for 30 seconds restart computer with drive not in computer and then shutoff again and physically reinstall drive. Also have done uninstall of all IDE/ATA controllers channels in device manager and then restart as recommended on another post. looked on another hp6700 and found "cd/dvd" on device manager list and mine does not have that. so not sure why dvd drive would be in ide/ata channel list.
