Lg Slim Portable Dvd Writer Not Working

I just bought a Samsung Slim External DVD Writer SE-S084F. The computer recognizes the drive, but when I put in a cd the drive constantly connects and disconnects while trying to read it. I have went on the website and I followed the installation instructions, but still nothing. Thanks for any help. (I am running Vista 64 bit, and the DVD drive is plugged into a USB hub)Does your drive have its own power supply, or does it have two USB connectors?I helped a friend install one of those with the two connectors and we had to connect it directly to the USB card onboard before it worked properly running WinXP SP3. Couldn't get it to work on a USB hub.Since your machine recognizes the drive, have you tried other DVDs or CDRs in it?Have you tried other ports on the USB hub? One of my USB external hard drives wasn't being recognized until I fiddled with the connector and moved it to another empty port on the card.Hope this helps.Steve DupuisOttawa Canada.

I believe your cd/dvd burner need a little more power than you can provide with a single usb 2.0 connector.You need a usb-wire like this:img/img (thank you google, and:) )You can probably use an usb-hub IF it have it's own power source. Sounds like you're on the right track. Different peripherals incl. Usb hubs all have different ranges that the manufacturers claim 'should work'. Sometimes getting the best deal on components can set you back days in trying to get things to work. I tend to be a real pest at my local suppliers because the sales people just want you to take whatever it is and bugger off.

I ask them to get on the manuf. Sites and check the specs there for specific models of things. This has saved me a lot of time doing installation and configuration after I get things home.Regards,Steve DupuisOttawa, Canada.

Optical drives are 'simple' devices for an OS to handle, meaning that an OS can handle them eaisily without the need of particular drivers or software. That is why even during the boot process before the OS has loaded the system knows what the optical drive (CD/DVD) is and can handle it. So if and when you see that there is a problem with an optical drive it almost always (99.9% of the time) is finished. Lucky for us though with probably a fraction of what we paid for the last one we can upgrade it for a newer and faster model.
