WR DVD Drive not capable of writing

i have a ThinkPad W520 (4276-37U).   In the product spec it says the following regarding the DVD drive "CDRW/DVDRW",  which I assume means read / write.   I'm trying to burn and ISO image to a DVD.    Windows reports that the drive is not capable of writing and infact the device driver says ROM in the description
"Optiarc DVD ROM DDU7710H SCSI CdRom Device"
Do I have the wrong driver?   If so,  please point me to the correct RW driver because I have not been able to find it on your site.    If not,   how do I get the drive I purchased?

You need to buy a DVD-RW or DVD+RW. DVD-R or DVD+R is not writeable. You probably inserted a DVD+R or DVD-R. Or maybe it was written already.

  • Windows 7 install stops at "CD/DVD driver not found"

    When trying to install Windows 7 with boot camp, all goes well until it stops and gives me the "CD/DVD driver not found". I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro with a 500 GB SSD drive. I have burned a DVD at 1X from a iso file.
    Thanks

    Can you verify the MD5/SHA1 of the DVD with the ISO using OS X 'openssl md5' or the M$ FCIV tool? The source of your ISO should be able to provide MD5/SHA1.
    OS X Example
    openssl md5 ~/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr
    MD5(/Users/MyName/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr)= 977f4f0f1400be91855789213e07b031
    Windows FCIV example
    D:\>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\FCIV\fciv

    Usage:  fciv.exe [Commands] <Options>
    Commands: ( Default -add )

  • Dvd drive not worked properly

     i have  hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action  till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my  dvd drive that's all.

    tcrite,
    Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
    Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

  • My dvd drive not recognized in device manager,ge​tting the yellow explanatio​n 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

  • Webi Error - Driver not capable

    Hello,
    One of our users is getting "Driver not capable" error on 1 webi report, but can run another without the error. These 2 reports come off seperate BEx querier.
    We have BO SP2 FP2.5.
    SAP authentication is set on BO server and roles are imported.
    All the universe connections are set to SSO.
    BEx does not have any authorization variable.
    There are some prompts created in the universe.
    Any resolutions?
    Thanks,
    Nikhil

    Hi Ingo,
    The user gets the error while refreshing the webi report, after answering the prompts.
    What do you mean by customized? I have created a couple of prompts in the universe.
    I isolated the error to 1 objects "calendar day". if I have the object in my Webi query, the user gets the error. If I remove it from the webi query, the user can refresh the report without error.
    BTW, the BEx query runs fine for the users with calander day.
    We have another user getting the same error on 3 other reports. But none of them use calander day.

  • Driver not capable error. Why?

    I try to access an Oracle 8i DB with the following code:

    <p>Hello everyone,</p><p> first i wanna tell you that I love your CR4E product! You did an awesome job!</p><p> Now, I am having a problem with creating a report using DB2 data. I have a ODBC connection, and I successfully connect to DB2. I can see all the tables; however, when I try to see sample data from a table i get java.sql.SQLException: General error message.</p><p>Also, if I try to drag a table to a report it gives me  CLI0150E Driver not capable.

    <p>Hi, you mention that you have an ODBC connection, but you also talk about connecting to the db2jcc.jar, can you provide me with some more details regarding what your database connection string looks like in the Database Explorer view? Are you connecting to the ODBC DSN using the JDBC driver or connecting directly to the DB2 server? We have tested the DB2 connections with CR4E so it should work without too many issues. Unfortunately, I do not have a DB2 server installed on my machine and I am on the road this week so I cannot test this at this time. However, I will give this a try when I get in next week against our test database servers and let you know the connection details that we used for our testing. In the meantime any more detail you can give me on exactly how you are setting up your connection will be useful. <br /></p><p>Regards,<br />Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-ratelink-lid-639.html">Rate this plugin @ Eclipse Plugin Central</a>          </p>

  • Driver not capable

    My Delphi application runs fine on Oracle8 and Oracle9 (SQLServer, Informix, Sybase, Access) databases but when connecting to an Oracle7.34 database the ODBC driver (Oracle2.05.03.01B)(Manager 3.520.5303.2) returns; "Oracle][ODBC Oracle Driver] Driver not capable".
    I'm using the following connection settings for all databases: CursorLibrary = UseODBC, IsolationLevel = ReadCommitted, CursorType = Static, ConcurrencyType = Values.
    Any ideas?

    Oracle 7.3.4 is pretty old and has been unsupported for some time. It would surprise me if things that work with Oracle 9i don't work with 7.3.4.

    Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
    Hope this helps you.

  • EMac External LACIE DVD Drive not reading.

    eMac External LACIE DVD Drive not reading.
    eMac 700 MHz running OS X 4.4
    Came without DVD or modem internal
    Has 256mb memory
    Bought a used Lacie 1394 Firewire DVR External.
    Was able to burn DVD’s and CD’s with Toast 6 Light.
    Cannot find the “DVD Player” on the hard drive.
    It will read data DVD.
    eMac will not read any movies burnt or bought.
    I was told I probably need more memory?
    Thought running IDVD would fix the problem.
    No Soap.
    This machine was giving external modem problems before Tiger was installed.
    Before we spend more money or just get ride of the eMac.
    What is the DVD problem?
    This same Lacie burner reads and writes DVD and CD fine with our iMac 450 DV 320mb memory. Running 9.2 and X.3

    OS X 10.3.x / 10.4.x natively support data burning to external DVD drives but video payback requires software such as iDVD which isn't installed by default on models without an internal DVD drive (the installer sees no internal drive and thinks it's unnecessary). Try downloading VLC Player and see if that will let you play movies.
