Solve : Computer won't recognize external optical disc drive? |
|
Answer» I have a problem with my external optical disc drive. I burn DVDs and after I copy the source disc, the disc tray pops out. That is fine because I put the blank disc that I want to copy to into the disc drive. However, I watch in my computer folder as the E: drive disappears for a few seconds, burning fails, and then reappears after. Any thoughts?Can we have some more info on hardware and software please mate.I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and the external disc drive is Samsung SE-S084B (RLNS?) The drive worked a few days ago to burn DISCS but no longer works correctly. Thanks for any help I MAY receive.How old is the external ? ? Try to burn on another machine to see if it's the drive itself... Can you try it on another machine as Patio said?Quote from: steingr3 on July 16, 2009, 07:26:43 AM The external was made this year and I just recently updated the firmware. This may in fact be the issue...YES, firmware updates "just because they are available" are seldom necessary (and very risky!) unless you have a specific issue that the update purports to solve. MANY a good component has been turned into a paperweight. This SI even more common with random Bios updates done "just because". |
