optical drive

Hey guys I just built my PC today everything is working fine but when I was installing Windows 10 it said "No device drivers found" and I have no idea what the problem is. In the BIOS it said that I do have my HDD and my SSD, the only thing I can think that might have caused the problem is the...

Hi Okay so if my heading isn't clear, what my DVD drive is doing is it's managing to read the disk but is really noisy and slow. It sounds like the laser is moving back and forth constantly (as if two or more programs were trying to access different parts of the disk at the same time but it...

Hello I tried to post at hardware but it did not respond so I am trying here. A while ago I made home movies into DVDs which were saved to a format by Ashampoo which I have forgotten but I was warned they could only be played on computers . Now that we are moving away from optical drives, I had...

Hi, I have a genuine product key of Windows 7 but don't have its copy (DVD/ISO image). In this case, is it possible and lawful to install Windows 8 from a genuine copy of "Windows 8 Upgrade"? I don't want to buy the full version since it's a bit more expensive. Thanks, Culip P.S. So here's...

So, I must say I'm at my wits end. I've been getting complete system freezes while going about my business, happening while doing various things. I could be simply browsing, playing games, watching video, and sometimes doing nothing. I don't BSOD, everything just locks. The mouse cursor won't...

1. What is your budget? Probably around £400-£800. I usually buy laptops 6 months behind the curve on ebay, from ex business users and find myself with an amazing 3 year warranty thrown in... 2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 15inch. Will consider 14. 3. What screen...

I just burned an image of Suse to DVD, but before succeeding, I made a number of coasters on two other ODDs. Coasters aren't anything new, but some things about the failures make me wonder. On the first attempts on one drive, Imgburn announced failures at exactly the same spot on 3 attempts...

Not sure if I am in the correct forum for this question but, please indulge me. I use a VPN for downloading Netflix as I live in Japan and this bloody country has not allowed free downloading of Netflix from the US. Anyway, I have found lately that after about 20 minutes of viewing the monitor...

This PC started having erratic behavior, then everything went downhill. Sometimes it will boot up into Windows, but quickly freeze up, with no response at all, no choice but to force reboot. Most of the time it will not reboot at all, giving me a message to select a boot drive. The BIOS...

One of my optical drives began having problems seeing discs, either for reading or writing. I figured that it was due to the fact that it had been quite a while since I cleaned it. Therefore I dug out my Philips Cleaner disc, which is actually no more than a disc with a couple of very small...

I have big problems with 8.1, software for DVD and Blu-ray discs will not work because my Blu-ray optical drive "disappears" from the operating system. When checking the listed devices at boot-up hopefully the drive is shown there. But when I launch a program (that used to work with XP and...

Working on an older Dell desktop for a friend of my son. It was her Mom's and she had it passed on to her. She usually uses a Mac but has been using this Dell because it has Office and Quickbooks on it for her businesses (she does home cleaning and also photography). Anyway she brought it to...

I just put together a brand new PC build with all new components. In the middle of a custom install of Windows 7 on the HDD (the system only has one 1TB 7200rpm toshiba HDD), the installation screen went blank and the computer restarted. After restarting, the monitor displayed bootdisk mgr...

I am using Win7, and until very recently, I have been able to burn downloaded music onto a CD in my optical drive, and also play the CD on the CD player attached to my audio system. Now, when I burn a recording, the burn goes to completion, and when I reinsert the burned CD in to the optical...
