Well I have a DVD drive which is capable of writing. Its model is Samsung 16X. DVD drive and Writer. It sometimes does not open when I pressed the eject button or when I command it to eject from the system. And more over, sometimes it can't read the DVD, though I give it almost a new DVD to play. It only makes sounds but does not show anything in the screen. And another thing, sometimes it can read DVD but can't copy the files in the DVD.

I want to know what is the probable cause of these problems. Why does this occur? Is the DVD drive gone? or is it something else?

Is there any way to fix it? Or should I buy a new DVD drive for my PC??

Please explain those problems so I can take a proper decision to replace or fix my DVD drive.

Hi,

I am backing up my Mac Pro to a backup server (a Power PC G4). Both are running OS X 10.5.4. The version of Retrospect is 6.1.23 and the client is 6.2.222. The backup server says that the client is "responding,",  but I continue to get the "Waiting for backup media" message over the past 24 hours. There is a lock icon on the drive that I want to back up.

I have a 8G kingmax microsdhc which I used for a week on my cell phone. I stored files and images in my mp3, then there came a time when I took off the microsd from the cell phone and placed it on the adapter and stuck it on my laptop.

I tried to open it but it won't follow the command. It says something about, not being formatted. So it asked me to format it. Even though I knew that I may lost all files, I followed the instruction to format it. I was surprised when something popped up and said that Windows cannot continue formatting the device. I tried using it on my cell phone but I can't access it anymore.

I have Windows 7 OS running on my PC. Everything works fine except in the visibility of REMOVABLE DRIVE. I once tried it, when I uploaded some files from my Memory SD Reader and it all works fine. But the next day, when I was about to upload my pictures again, I can’t see the drive in “My Computer” anymore.

I restarted the PC just to try if it works, but it’s all the same. I was surprised because I can see the USB icon in the notification tray saying “Safely Remove Hardware”, but I don’t see it in "My Computer". I also tried adding letter and path, but the same problem occurs. Then, I decided to reformat my OS, and yes, finally it works “at first”, then it never worked again.

Hello,

I have a habit of listening to songs in my mp3 player, every time I am traveling outside. Everything was working just fine. Last night, I plugged my mp3 into my laptop to download some new songs. But, my PC was notifying me that the “USB device is not recognized”. Then, I tried to plug it in other USB ports but it still failed to work. Then, I reinstalled the USB driver on my PC. Again I got a failure. I don’t know why it is happening.

Moreover, the entire play lists in my mp3 player vanished, after trying to connect it again and again. It’s a very bad thing for me. What should I do know? Can anybody help me?

Thank you

Hello Guys!

I have been given a task by my boss to solve this problem.

All the computers, both desktop and laptop are automatically backed up to the server when they're connected to the network. And every night, the server is being tasked  to tape backups. The problems are the laptops assigned for Finance Head and HR Head. Their laptops contained very sensitive files that need special treatment. And if it's possible, backup to another hard drive and not to the server.

I have an issue, while I am working with a team. I want to secure my data from being copied to any type of USB flashes. I just wanted to get the settings or information of having all the USB Flashes write protected, when I use them with all the other computers in my office.

I have a USB flash drive and for some reason its not showing up as one of my drives. I know its there because I have it plugged in but its not showing as available in my list of drives. 

I had accidentally removed all my files after reinstalling Windows using my factory restore CD. Is there any way that I can recover my deleted files on my computer?

These are so important, so I need to get them back.
