[SOLVED] LG evternal DVD writer - no contact, pls hlp

Hi,
Bought an LG GP08 lite external DVD writer. It does'nt want to "connect to/find" the inserted disc, it spins up and down, up (to retry?) and down,
Here's what I did:
- plugged into an USB port known to work - my MP3 player is happy with it
- iserted a blank CD rom and then annother one (perhaps the first disc was broken)
- inserted a written disk
Did the whole thing again on annother USB port (in front)
No luck.

What manual do I read?
Tnx

ok, so possibly looking at HAL's behaviour - that (auto)mounts stuff.
The External hard drive (IOMEGA) does mount nicely...as does the MP3 player - on the same port...
Interested in the dmesg outout?

usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17
Just a 'tail I manually did...
I'm looking into all sorts of directions (and learning in the process - THE reason I started to use Arch) and may not be able to come up with more feedback...
I dont know what to look for and where to look for it...
Sorry

Can anyone recommend a suitable DVD Writer for a V210 and software that is supported by Solaris 10 and command line driven. We have a requirement to burn logs to DVD nightly.

Please identify your notebook/pc .
Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc at the barcoded sticker.
Post item number 2 as seen on the following example of an HP notebook's barcoded sticker. The barcode on your HP product may be slightly different in appearance, but will still have the important information needed for us to help you.
###Do not post the serial number of your product as it is personal information.###
Post the installed operating system version (state whether it is 32 or 64-bit ) and the CPU as an AMD or Intel product
Not posting all of the information as requested will delay our responses and slow troubleshooting of the issue that led you to author a thread.
Is your notebook/PC still within its warranty period?

Mac Pro DVD writer can Burn HD Project OR should i by HD DVD Burner?
Can i make HD DVD in 4.7GB DVD?

NAWAF65095 wrote:
ok
how about the HD DVD Burning .. should i buy HD DVD Burner or the mac pro DVD Writer will solve this problem? and it will burn HD DVD SL-15GB and DL-30GB ?
You cannot burn a 15 or 30 Gig DVD from DVD SP and it is not supported by DVD SP. You can build those to a hard drive for replication
also what is the basic steps to creat the HD project in HD DVD not the DVD 5 and compatible with the toshiba player?
Best Regard.
You can make a HD DVD on the DVD 5 which will play with the Toshiba and it will give HD quality (and will not play on an SD player) video results, though you cannot author the extras that HD has (the new features in HD as compared to SD DVD), pretty much menus and playback of video. The steps above will create the DVD 5. Have not tried writing to a DVD 9 size for more running time

No, how can i install?Where to get the software?Is it from the Motherboard CD?

I bought a LG slim portable dvd writer. I have gotten it connected, and it seems to have downloaded the drivers but then it turns off and I cannot even get the driver CD to eject because it turns off completely.

I bought an LG Slim Portable DVD writer. I connected it to my MacBook Air and the drivers seemed to download. There is an icon that says SuperMulti on my desktop. The portable drive comes on when I double click on the icon, and I hear the drive running. It turns off about 5 seconds later and I cannot even get the driver disc out because the drive is off (no green light).
I am not savvy. What do I do? It says it is compatible with Mac, but then in another place in the directions it states Windows is needed. Please help an old feeble woman!

You need to contact the DVD writer manufacture/vendor customer support and/or read its user manual. LG is not an Apple product.

DVD Writer R6112 malfunctioning

Hi guys...Just wanna say thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help me out on this one.
I have Toshiba Satellite M30-106 and am having countless number of problems with the DVD writer (R6112 firmware 1332 I think). Because I don't use the DVD writing much I only realised the problem recently. When using Orange Top Bulkpaq discs or Datawrite discs the writer creates the discs as if nothing is wrong but then cannot read its own creations.
However, other drives can sometimes read them but normally not very well. I have been trying to find firmware updates but they don't seem to be for the revision I have got.
Can someone help? Is it the media I am using or is there something wrong with my drive? Is there a list of media that will definitely work? I am reluctant to send my laptop to Toshiba as I don't want to run the risk of losing data and I can't back it up!!
Thanks for your help

Hi
In my opinion you should try at first to use a few different medias to see if there is just problem with some specific blank CD`s or DVD`s. It will be also interesting to know if you have any problem with original CD`s or DVD`s that you can buy in every store.
I don`t know which burning software you use but try also to use a different one or try to burn CD`s using Windows burning option.
If the problem is still there it can be some serious problem. In this case you must contact the service partner. All your data you can try to save on some external device like USB stick or external HDD.
Bye

DVD writer invisible in Explorer

After i installed iTunes on my Windows XP SP2 system and reboot it, the DVD writer/CD reader do not show up anymore. It happened already 2 times and i had to reinstall Windows. Is there a way to solve this more elegantly ?

Ah ok I missed that there is a disk in there now. The fact that it spins up indicates that it might not be physically stuck so there mat be a way to get it out.
I know you wrote that you have spent a lot of time trying to get the disk out but just to be sure all bases were covered have you looked at the advice at sites like Quick Tip: How to Force Eject a Stuck Disc | Mactuts+ (there are others but all the instructions are basically the same)
Also as the machine is from 2006 is that a PPC or Intel machine? Older Macs actually had a small hole that you could but a paper clip into to get a physically stuck disk out.
BTW we are talking about a full size disk right? Not of of those mini-disks?
If all this fails then as I wrote above you are lucky in one respect the old iMacs were easy to open. You shouldn;t have any major problems getting into it. Just take your time, follow the directions and be aware of what you are doing. Taking pictures at each step and having separate bins or baggies to put in the screws and other parts as you remove them will help when you put it all back together.

GSA-H60L DVD Writer Firmware Update Question

Hello all.
i have a dvd writer here that needs to be updated.
The model number is HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GSA-H60L.
The trouble is that the firmware updater needs a Windows Vista 32 bit system to work, but i don't have one available at this time.
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks.

DVD writer suddenly won't write to CD or DVD

Brought my T61 to Indonesia and suddenly it will not write to CD's or DVD's. With CD's I get a message saying "Please insert data disc" after I insert blank ones (the same kind I always use, by the way) and with DVD's, which I bought in the US before leaving, it seems to be writing but near the end states that the operation failed (or something like that.) I am able to play DVD's and CD's just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
Tried updating the driver, BTW, but got a message saying it was already the latest one. Also, ran PC Doctor but it was unable to run its tests as the DVD writer is not writing at all.

sounds like a software glitch, which is more easily solved if you just revert to previously saved backups in the Rescue and Recovery.
