DVD writer lockup

[Hellfighter]

ok here the deal i have a DVD-Writer thats connect throu USB port feed into the Tower and when i restart the system or bootup its lockup at the bois screen, i unplug it and restart the system work out good without cable in the USB port

there no then bad about this DVD writer Drive, i think it has to do with the bois setting

i run it on the older computer 2000pro work fine Dell GX100 & GX110 restarts great don't lockup at all at bois screen moves to log-in screen good

i enable USB item to boot up first on in Windows XP computer bois setting, still no good still lockup

hope scott or Steve have a asker that may help me or other party's

like to leave it connect to the system without removing the connection USB cable

Try making it the last item to boot in the BIOS. Also try a different USB port.

A few other things:
Enable/Disable USB legacy in BIOS
Disable Boot from other devices in BIOS
Change the setting that says Halt on Error in the BIOS, change it to None or something similar.

*Enable/Disable USB legacy in BIOS

that was it right on the money thanks Scott
booted up 3x and not lockup with DVD-Writer connected in USB port.

again thanks Scott


don't know about the other's off hand not try them.

Change the setting that says Halt on Error in the BIOS, change it to None or something similar.

have to look into that.
Ps BOIS was updated last 60days for MOB by Intel for D945GNT

===========================
*Try making it the last item to boot in the BIOS. was already set there lol

*different USB port. already try all of them back and front USB ports, no good

*Disable Boot from other devices in BIOS "Skip"
*Enable/Disable USB legacy in BIOS ***That was it***
*Disable Boot from other devices in BIOS "Skip"
*Change the setting that says Halt on Error in the BIOS, change it to None or something similar. "have to look it up"

by the way what is that for?

Enable/Disable USB legacy in BIOS

[Steve]

it's there to allow you to use your USB mouse/keyboard when not in windows, example stolen from Intel:

* Running your computer in Safe mode.
* Using a Windows Startup menu.
* Starting your computer in MS-DOS mode (instead of opening a MS-DOS session from Windows).
* Starting your computer from a floppy disk or leaving a floppy disk in the drive when you turn on or restart your computer.
* Windows "blue screen" errors that ask you to "Press any key to continue".
* Responding to ScanDisk and other messages during the start-up sequence.
* Editing or upgrading the BIOS.
* Entering a BIOS password.


it's just a weird conflict u have going on, but not uncommon with USB devices and computers not being able to POST properly.

i talk to Lite-On Tech support about this today, their Techs are looking into it see why it doing it.
SHW-160P6S.

they said your Bois been update i said yes 90/06/2007 was the last update has the DVD drive firmware been updated? yes all so to P50C as will.

they said they will have to look into it see whats is going on all so told them my MOB is Intel D945Gnt as will a high end system

told them about the Disable USB legacy in Bois so it work without locking up the Bois

by the way they ask me to enable the USB legacy in Bois setting to see if it been fix already, try it still lockup
