    Re: Software not seeing a DVD drive

    Probably. This applies to Pre-2K windows. XP have no issues with ASPI layer as it was needed on old OSes and is usually for SCSI optical drives and scanners using a controller. I had dealt with this ASPI issues in past and it is certainly not on XP. It was on 98 and 2000. By the way ASPI driver was only licensed by Adaptec in old days and is was not freeware. Adaptec forced guy who made a package based on this software pulled off the 'net about decade ago.

    Have you tried on borrowed machine with known GOOD optical drives? I liked LG drives. I'm talking about IDE or SATA to keep things more simple.

    Cheers, Wizard

            Sigh, bit brain-fried and too quiet today at work. Only looked at a laser, doofus didn't check the driver software status what it needed. Needs new imaging drum since reached it's end of life, 150 bucks average. Heavy use so good use of printer.

                PS4 Launch Model Disk Drive Issue (disc drive no power won’t accept discs)
                by steveoski
                Hey guys, so I have a weird one. I have been working on PlayStation 4 since they come out. I have fixed almost everything that hasn't required BGA soldering. Just a little background.

                Now this particular PS4 had a broken HDMI port. It was replaced and it works perfectly. Upon reassemble the disc drive stopped taking in discs. Now I have seen this before and it has ALWAYS been the BD drive daughter board or the BD drive itself. I first replaced the BD Daughter board to see if the drive would start accepting discs before I started soldering the chip over to a new donor board. Still...

                HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G2 won't detect a drive after reformat.
                by perfm2
                So I've worked on dozens of HP and Dell laptops and have never encountered this before.
                Steps taken in my usual process.
                Reset security settings in the BIOS
                Ensure existing HD comes up into the OS
                Shut down the laptop and disconnected the main battery
                Removed old M2 drive and replaced with a new 1tb Mushkin Temptest NVME drive. (I'm aware the bus is Sata III but the drive should still work at a slower speed right? Been my experience in other laptops)
                Replace battery connector and close up the laptop
                Insert my USB drive with my Windows 10 image I've...

                Intel iMacs, 3rd party SSD failures and Fusion setups
                by reformatt
                I thought I'd throw out some of my personal experiences in the last 12 months with Intel iMacs, 2.5" SATA SSD drives and Fusion drive data recoveries.

                As a backgrounder, Apple never fitted a 2.5" SSD's to these iMacs. Apple's SSD option was a system of 32GB NVMe blade drive (NGFF connector) and Seagate 1TB 2.5" HDD, married together in software to become a Fusion drive. Non Fusion systems have just the 1TB Seagate HDD.

                So, the most common reason an iMac comes across my bench is because it's either ridiculously slow, or it fails to boot at all. The most...
