Can I install/repair XP Pro SP2 from an external USB 2.0 DVD-burner drive? I tried it in the past but the installation did not proceed beyond the installing hardware devices phase but then I'm not sure whether that was due to a USB hub or this device?
View 5 RepliesI have an LG external DVD burner. When I put DVD's into the drive and then place a movie on the disc the computer will not reconize the DVD disc and will not burn it.Am I missing a driver for XP? I have never had a DVD burner on my computer. Or is there software that goes with the optic drive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf the DVD burner is not the Master of the two DVD drives, your burning software will experience some problems. So, after installing Windows Vista as a "dual boot" operating system, I switched the DVD drives back so the Pioneer DVR-106D = MASTER and the Pioneer 116 = SLAVE. Now I have a write problem to the Pioneer DVR-106D drive. When I attempt to either copy a DVD or just burn a data disk, I get an "INTERNAL TARGET FAILURE" error message. Happens every time now.As my system is already set up as a "Dual Boot" operating system with Windows XP & Vista, I cannot format my "C" drive and reinstall Windows XP to fix this problem.QUESTION: Does anyone know how to correct this problem without formatting and reinstalling Windows xp?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Service Pack 2, Explorer no longer sees my DVD burner nor my CD burner. I have tried going to an earlier system restore point but that has not worked. You can see the drives in Device Manager but there are yellow exclamation points beside each. I have tried un-installing and letting windows re-enstall and it does, but still have the same problem after it gets through. When I try un-installing service pack 2 I get messages saying if I un-install, a lot of my programs may not run correctly. I am running a Gateway 700 series 1.8 mhz pentium 4 processor, 512 mgs ram, with 80 gig harddrive, windows XP home. I have owned a computer since windows 3.1 and have tried all I know. Can someone please help me? I am just before formatting my hard drive and starting all over!Just for assurance I opened the computer case and checked to make sure the wires were properly seated to both drives and the mother board.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got myself another hard drive, that I wanted to install in my computer. From before, the computer contained a hard drive and a CD-burner. I do not have instructions on how to set the jumpers on the new hard drive to make it master or slave, so I had to try my way. I figured how to make it master, so the present configuration is that this new hard drive is secondary master, and the CD-burner is secondary slave. BIOS recognizes this, but unfortunately Windows does not seem to find any of the devices on the secondary controller with this configuration.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with my DVD Burner. It used to work fine, I was able to burn DVDs (Using Roxio). I fixed an issue related to AVI files by installing a program called K-Lite Codec Pack. During the installation, I was asked to approve some erroneous registry entries that existed. Since then, I have had issues with the DVD Burner (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B). The drive doesn't show up in as a valid letter on my list of drives. When I go to the device manager, it has a yellow ! next to it (Code 37)....
What I have tried so far:Un-uinstalled and re-installed the device driver Followed instructions on Microsoft.com to Manual steps to delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values that can cause CD access problems (http://support.microsoft.com/default...en-us%3B314060) At that point, I could see the drive and the exclamation mark in the device manager was gone, however, I could not burn any DVDs... it didn't recognize it as a burner....
A friend gave me a laptop, my problem is that it came from Japan thus everything is japanase thus I can't hardly use it. The reason I accept it is bcoz he said I can try to reinstall a win xp with english version (btw, the OS is win xp pro in japanase version). Thus I bought win xp pro sp2 and try to reinstall it, so I reboot fm cd rom and while the windows setup is starting, the system stopped and the message on my screen read as:A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.If this is the first time you've seen this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:Check for viruses on your computer, resume any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers, check your hard drive to make sure it is porperly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK/F to check hard drive corruption. then restart computer. how in the world I can follow the above steps if everything written on it are in japanase language? I also try to visit the manufacture's website, thinking that perhaps it help solve the problem but....i also need a japanase translator to understand it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFresh format and install onto a 320gb SATA drive. Windows XP SP2.BIOS recognizes the drive.Unless the CD-ROM is ahead of the Hard Drive in the BIOS boot settings, and the Windows XP SP2 install disc is in the drive, the system will not boot.The message displayed is along the lines of "Disk boot error. Please insert a system disk and press enter."If the CD-ROM is moved back or removed from the boot order, this result also occurs.
If the install disc is in the drive, and the BIOS is instructed to look for a CD-ROM boot before a Hard Drive boot, a prompt is displayed along the lines of "Press any key to boot from CD." If no key is pressed, windows XP boots normally. Formating, reinstalling XP, messing with BIOS boot order, confirmed HD reads correctly in BIOS, with and without CDs in drive, repairing master boot record, adding a boot delay in BIOS.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet me be clear on this: I want to put in a larger drive than the old one, have Windows completely move itself to the new drive, and leave the old one blank - all without Windows' security hackles raising and saying, hey you changed something so you need to re-activate(I don't want to clone. I've done this and Windows has been a POS about it. I want to MOVE the installation.)Perhaps someone has some secret information that this is in fact possible?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have this Dell L733r that I installed WinXP on. It also has an internal 250mb zip drive as a slave drive which is on the same cable as the DVD rom installed on [1]. When I installed WinXP, the main hard drive (master) [0] ended up with a drive letter of [e]. The DVD rom was D and the zip drive was [c]. Is there anyway to avoid this short of disconnecting the zip drive? But it would seem that you wouldn't have to discconnect the zip drive.

I am attempting a clean installation of Windows XP on the SATA Drive but the system fails to recognize even the presence of the drive. This, even after stripping the system of all drives except this one, and after 'prepping' it to be bootable with MAXTOR prep. tools.Was there ever a restriction on putting an O/S on SATA drives even on the MOBO? I have all the updates installed, "I think".

- Ran Ad-Aware entire system scan (it's my only anti-virus program)- Tried to make a new network connection, but according to Windows, I have no network hardware, either- Put my Windows installation CD into my CD drive, went to "Install Optional Windows Components," and installed everything network related, then restarted.
I'm can't get WinXP installation to find my Sata Hard-drive. I'm running Suse Linux on my IDE-HD and I could also had no problems getting my Suse 10.1 installation to install on the SATA-HD. I've booted up with winxp media install disk and tried to use the F6 key at the right time but nothing happens so it keeps going until I get to the point where I can press the S key to install SATA RAID driver from disk that came with my motherboard. The drivers install but then windows install still says no disk to install windows... I don't get it.
I've checked my bios and SATA in there, in fact the first thing I see when I boot up in the boot sequence is the SATA drive. Linux knows it's there but windows install doesn't. I installed XP on a WD SATA drive before and all I had to do was press F6 to install the controller from the XP disk but that doesn't work now.
While installing Windows XP, the power went out after about 40% of it had been installed. Now, when I turn on the computer, I get a message that says, "NTLDR is missing. press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot." Well, this becomes a never-ending cycle. So, I inserted the Windows XP cd in the cd-rom drive and booted the computer up. I tried re-installing XP and repairing XP. Neither works. So, what I would like to do is completely wipe out my hard drive (nothing I want to save) and start all over.

I have an external hard drive (150GB) which is partitioned into two parts. One partition , about 145gb, is data and files of my own. Then there is an extended partition at 5gb in size, which contains windows xp installation files. What I did was take my windows xp cd, make an ISO, and then extracted the iso and put the files into the extended partition of my external usb hard drive.The computer I want to install to has a cd drive that is not working and thus i cannot install windows xp from a cd. The BIOS of the computer DOES support booting from a USB device.I have partition magic software and have used it to create the 5gb extended partition on the usb external drive. However, I don't know how to configure anything so that it will acutally know to boot from this partition and what files to use to start the installation.
