There is as far as I can see, no errors on the disc drive itself.

OK so since I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on this computer ( it is the first operating system installed on it) I can not write any DVDs .A strange fact is that I can write and read CDs and also read DVDs, but not every time.I got an original CD Album and it's still not recognized by the PC for example, and this happens to many audio CDs.I tried many registry tricks and stuff like that but in vain.The computer is new, bought it one month ago. DVD+RW - Sony Optiaric AD-7260SI also tired to resolve the problem with FixIt but it was also useless.I kept getting the message: "The disc in drive [E:] is not detected, or is not supported"

how to check usb read and write speed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen attempting to write to any USB drive I have connected (including a 1GB USB key and a 1TB Eagle Consus S-ATA Raid0) I initially see the transfer going very quickly as Windows 7 caches the transfer. The speed initially goes to 60MB/s and then the bar stops moving. If I wait, the transfer never completes with a 1GB test file.
I cannot cancel the transfer, since it says Cancelling but never completes. Only a reboot or disconnecting my drive stops the transfer process. While attempting to transfer, any attempt to read from the drive stalls as well.
Read speed is normal. I can access files on the drive, and copy from the USB -> Windows 7 at full speed.
Here are the things I have done to fix the problem:
1) Set the drive to Performance Mode to enable write caching.
2) Uninstalled and re-installed the USB Root Controller and Intel USB Controller devices.
3) Upgraded to the latest Intel Device Drivers.
4) Ensured that my USB ports are 2.0, and that I am connected to the rear powered USB outlets.
5) Installed the Windows 7 hotfix intended for NVIDIA chipsets with 4GB RAM (does not apply to me, but tried anyways).
6) Tried formatting in 16K block sizes instead of 4K or 8K.
When I connect either USB device to my Macbook Pro, with NTFS drivers installed, my read and write speed are normal. For that reason, I know that the problem is not with my USB drives.
Tonite I will try an Ubuntu live CD to see if I can get full speed write with the exact same hardware that Windows 7 is using, to rule out that this is somehow a hardware issue.
I'm trying to write a request to COM2 and capture the answer. My device is 19200 baud 8/1 non parity.Using a freeware terminal called termite I can send the hex instruction and receive the answer, as verified in HHD serial monitor.My batch file looks like this: Code: MODE COM2: baud=19200 parity=N data=8 stop=1 to=offTYPE request.txt>COM2COPY COM2 text.txt where request.txt contains my request.HHD sees the request being written, but the device does not respond.

Now from upgarding to XP to 7 I had no issues until now... When inserting Disc (Blank or Data Files) the DVD Drive will hang and not ask what to do with the Disk and when I try to Burn the disc it will say cannot write to drive or just sit there doing nothing
Both these drives worked flawlessly with XP and only way to get the drive to recognise half the time with Windows 7 is to restart PC to either get it to show in Device Manager or press eject when booting to get the disk inside out.
Both drives are Sata and are only a few months old (not burned much and work exceeelnet on another xp machine)

So, restored, all sorted and the machine went back to my son working fine, but then a couple of days later, Service Pack 1 tried to download and install via Windows Updates, and kept on trying and trying, without completing.My son brought the machine back because he could not get it to reboot, and we found the system was corrupt so that we could not repair even after chkdsk.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a disk drive with 3 partitions...
1 - vista 64 (50GB)
2 - win 7 64 (30GB)
3 - data (80GB)
I want to move win 7 installation to vista partition and extend partition 3 with freed partition 2.
-I though to do this
-Backup win 7 to external drive
-boot from cd installation
-choose to restore win 7 in partition 1
-After it boots correctly, resize partition 3 adding partition 2.
I realized that boot files are in partition 1, when I tried in windows 7 to backup system (partition 2) it want sto backup full partition 1, because it's part of system and partition 1 is considered critical.
Any procedure to accomplish this?
I have this Toshiba 640Gb HDD. I partitioned it into three logical drives. When I inserted the hdd in my xp, one drive cannot be read. Later when I used again the hdd in 7, it says that one of the drives needs to be formatted (the one that can't be read by xp). I did so but I noticed that the drive letter changed. Series of switching between the two OS, the drive's letter continues to change upon formatting. Then to arrange again the drive letters in their alpha list, I used Easeus Partition Master to change the letters of the partitions back as F, G, and H. After the process, when I inserted the hdd, it took significant amount of time for the drive to be read.
Is there any way to revert and restore the drive letters of the system? I've tried to restore from backup but to no avail.
I know I can use Ubuntu, but is there a way to stay within Windows 7 and access, read from, and write to ext4 partitions which are on a SD card?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Windows 7 on an HP DV6-1253cl notebook from a USB flash drive and running into problems that are preventing the install. (Note: It's not the rig that is in my system specs.)
When I try and clean install Windows 7 64-bit over the existing Vista system partition (C), I get the following error.
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
Thing is, setup shows that partition as well as the HP recovery partition and an external USB drive that is also connected to this notebook and offers all of those as choices for installing Windows 7 onto.
Can anyone help me figure out why Windows 7 won't install on the existing Vista C partition and tell me how to get it to install?
I'm fixing my friends laptop and for some reason windows has gone haywire. Its a sony laptop so I could use the recovery partition and recover vista. The other option would be to go the campus computer store and buy a copy of windows 7 for $20. My reason for consider buying windows 7 is that is may provide a boost in the battery and most importantly, I think the laptop will run alot smoother with windows 7.
So should I get my friend to buy windows 7 or should I just recover vista?
