XP driver for DVD writer 940d (Lightscribe)

Could someone tell me please where I can find a driver (even the original) for this DVD writer, which is still perfectlly serviceable.
Many thanks

Hi
May I ask you why you need this?
To be honest such driver doesnt exists.
I mean the CD/DVD driver is a part of the Windows Operating System (XP, Vista, etc..) and you dont need to install it.
You internal CD/DVD drive should be recognized automatically after XP installation.
Greetings

Equium L10 needs a driver for DVD-RAM drive

It's rather embarrassing, but in recent days I've come to find that somehow, the driver for my DVD RAM (Mat****a UJ830s) is somehow corrupt or missing.
I've searched high and low over the net to find the right driver to reinstall, but I can't find a single thing.
Don't suppose anyone can help?

Do you mean the simply common driver for the Mat****a UJ830s?
Usually the windows use the common Microsoft OS driver and usually you will not find an Toshiba driver for this device.
Ok, on the page you will find an DVD-RAM but its only for the reading and writing of the DVD-RAM medias.
Caution when using DVD-RAM disks in the DVD MULTI drive Data cannot be written onto a DVD-RAM disk while the function for writing data onto Windows XP standard CD-R/RW disks is enabled.
A message appears when this function has been enabled so when using a DVD-RAM disk, heed the instruction given in this message by clearing "Enable CD recording on this drive.

Need printer driver for Style Writer 2400

I need a printer for my Power Book G3 running OS 9.0.4. It has a printer extension for a Style Writer 2500. I found a Style Writer 2400 on line and need a printer driver for the 2400 OR will the printer 2500 extension work for the 2400. Also, what is the differnce between the 2400 & 2500 ?

Hi,
According to the text file for the Color StyleWriter 2500 download, the Color StyleWriter 2400 is supported.

Whenever possible, use the printer extension supplied with the operating system.
It is mainly a print quality (DPI) difference:

Cannot load device driver for DVD/CDRW - Satellite 1110

I have a Satellite 1110 and something has gone wrong with my DVD/CDRW and it will not read any CDs. It is reported as a MAT****A UJDA730 DVD/CDRW but the device status comes up as:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the error just returns. I cannot find a driver for it either on the manufacturer's web site or Toshiba's. I don't want to use the Product Recovery CD-ROM as it implies I will lose all software and data on the hard drive.
Can someone advise how to recover from this situation?
Thanks

Hi
Firstly you dont any driver for the CD/DVD drive. The drive uses the standard Windows OS driver and its not necessary to install it additional.
I assume there could be something wrong with the registry entry.
Please check this forum posting:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13843
The user has used the instruction which was offered on the Microsoft site.
This should help.
Please post again if this method was successful.

Where can I download Hp DVDRAM GU70N driver for DVD drive?

I need the following driver but cannot seem to find it. The HP Assistant does not seem to let one search for drivers just updates. Please need help.

When I load a CD or DVD into the drive teh laptop does not see the DVD or CD so I cannot download data or see a movie. When I run the diagnostic ot tells me that the HP DVDRAM GU70N SATA CDROM Driver is bad. It tries to use the data on the recovery disk of the OS but this does not fix the problem. Hence I think I need a new driver installation file.
Any sugggestions

Amzing.. just replace my 7 year old imac with a new 27 "iMac and last night realised there is no built in drive for DVD., Amzing.. just replace my 7 year old imac with a new 27 "iMac and last night realised there is no built in drive for DVD.

Amazing the new 27 inch I mac has no built in dVD player. Bit like buying a brand new car and finding it doesnt have any doors.

Great analogy - particularly applicable to folks who would buy a new car without looking at it, never mind taking it for a test drive.

Formatting external drive for read/write PC/Mac & files greater than 4GB

I'm on Snow Leopard and deliver an external drive off-site to a video editor who needs to read/write to the drive and return the edited files and then I need to read/write all over again. All video files are greater than 4GB. How would I go about this? Third party applications like MacDrive create too much overhead when processing video files. FAT32 limits file sizes to 4GB.

Hi WillDuffy;
Your requirement of files greater than 4GB eliminates FAT.
In your case since you don't have access to the PC, I am afraid you are forced to use the NTFS. This will require you to use the reverse engineered effort called NTFS-3G to be able to write to the disk from your Mac. Sorry.

Dv6812nr - Vista 32bit driver for DVD drive issue!

So new drive shows up as H - T - S D D A S-20L ATA device - and should be HL-DT-ST-DVDRAM gsa-Y20L ATA device.
Same drive works in a Vista 64bit OS install and does show up as HL- and not the garbage H - . How can MS get away with and OS like Vista that is a piece of CRAP! I have spent money for a new drive and it shows up the same as the old one! HP is no help as the unit it OUT OF WARRANTY and wants $$ to even talk to me - even though ultimately it is HP's issue!

The dv6000 series notebooks are prone to all sorts of motherboard problems and failures, so may I cannot list all of them, it might be time to consider a newer notebook.

Itunes install trashes drivers for DVD drive

Installed iTunes V6 on Packard Bell MIT-RHE-B laptop
iTunes runs OK but driver for DVD drive (NEC ND6650A)is no more (yellow ! in device manager)
Only fix was to restore machine from CD (the drive was OK to boot from from the BIOS)
When restored "OnRec" (a DVD writer program) was uninstalled, the machice rebooted & iTunes reinstalled.
Guess what same problem, the DVD drive driver was again trashed.
Has anyone got any ideas? Please dont say get a new laptop, which belongs to my 19 year old neice.

Yeah, this seems to be a Packard Bell specific problem and yes I do know how to fix it. I am going to copy and paste what I wrote to another Packard Bell user just so I dont have to retype it. I really think this is a Packard Bell issue...
For the most part, what's occurring is one of two things. Either...
A) an application (such as iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
or
B) a virus (or trojan) burrows its way into your file structure, and creates an element of itself disguised as a .SYS file. We've seen this happen before with viral elements disguising themselves as audio or video card driver files, in the efforts of masking themselves from lower-class anti-virus programs (or un-updated ones). In this case, they take on the name of a driver file that the optical drives are "familiar" with, and so, with the intention of being "fast, friendly, and efficient", the optical drives are tapped to utilize this new "driver" file... and it gets referenced in the registry as such.
However, when your anti-virus actually snaps to it, and removes the virus / trojan, and you go off on a virus-killing mission, galavanting through the registry and cleaning the little buggers out in Safe Mode and everything... you might remove the viral elements... but... the reference to them might still remain. The device manager is still looking for that "driver file", and will cause the optical drives to lock up in a Code 39 or Code 41 because of it.
Either way, he thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal.

Thanks, A Brody. Don't know what the PRAM battery is. Here are more details of the fault ... Although I've had the iMac for 5 years this may be the first time I've tried copying a video recording onto the DVD drive (I've made lots of CD copies without a problem). The folder and files all seem to be reproduced in identical order on the disc but my domestic DVD player cannot make sense of the recording, unlike the original source DVD from which the files originated. The drive has always been noisy but I've never assumed it shouldn't be! Does this fit your PRAM battery theory? If so, please explain more. Thanks.

DVD/Lightscribe drive for new (late 2010 Mac Pro?

Does anyone know a source for an internal DVD w/ Lightscribe drive for a late 2010 Mac Pro? I want to install it in the second drive bay. I got one from OWC, but the depth of the DVD drawer was about twice that of the original drive that came with the Mac Pro. It would have been able to fit through the drop cover on the front of the Pro, but would not clear the internal rack components. It fit in the rack nicely with the 4 screws lining up properly, but would then not open more than about an eighth of an inch before hitting the internal rack frame, causing it to close. Thanks.

Bummer! The instructions included with the drive did not mention thi. When I called OWC customer service she said that sometimes you had to remove the bezel from the Mac. I told her the Pro had no bezel. She said that the drive info did not specifically say it would fit a 2010 Pro a d gave me a RMA.'nmh bad for not questioning further. Thanks.
