HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N

[frank273]

I'm having an Acer Aspire 5930G Notebook with this drive built-in.

The drive is not even found by CDBurnerXP ... it's simply not listed, so I'm totally unable to use it.

The drive itself works correctly with Nero and the Vista Burning plugin. So it's not defect.

Hello all,

I have the same problem on a laptop Packard Bell Laptop Easynote TN65 , the dvd drive is also a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N .

The microsoft support solution doesn't work for this issue !

It seems that a lot of people have troubles with this drive on different laptops (Asus, Packard Bell etc...) so please could someone remove this model from the "compatible drives" list (http://cdburnerxp.se/fr/testeddrives?lang=en)

[Guest Merg]

[Guest AlBoe]

Same Problem:

HD-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N doesn't work

Also with Firmware GSA-T50N_RR07.exe find CDBurnerXP no drive.

[Guest JaayDee]

I am having the same problem. My computer is a Toshiba QOSMIO and it wont read discs. It has a symbol like this over its picture when you go into System-Device manager-DvD/CD-ROM drivers+.

It also has this comment when you go into its properties.

*Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.

The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)*

What has happened and how can it be fixed?

If you know please let me know.

Thanks.

[Guest Nikon]

This is the worse driver ever!!!!! same problem here and i cannot even connect an external drive cause it also shows up code 39, in order to fix it i have to pay an additional $25 through this support thing online and i don't think is fair cause so many of us are having the same problem and this should be free but you all know what is all about......$$$$.

[Guest nikon]

ok friends...i just fixed mine. Go to microsoftfixit.com and there you'll get the help that you need.

[Guest maddegg]

perhaps, the firmware update should help... last is rr09 , it's in many places in internet and one is here-http://depositfiles.com/files/h0918fst4

[Guest masterdragondarklord]

My drive doesn't play DVD, but plays any CDs, does anybody know the solution for this ???

[Guest hori]

best regards, hori

[Guest Rob from sunny Devon in the UK]

Same problem here too, seems like this drive has major compatibility problems.

It doesn't work with CDBurnerXP or Adobe Audition 3. AA3 cannot 'see' the drive to extract CD audio - although it works great though with an old Artec external drive connected to same notebook via an IDE to USB converter cable and seperate power supply. Not a permanent option though, it sounds like a Chinook Helicopter taking off when I am trying to rip my CD audio.

You really couldn't make this kind of farce up could you.

I tried the firmware update to RR07 should I go to RR09? Not convinced it will solve the problem, but worth a try I suppose.

Manufacturer of this unfortunately common drive needs a rocket up them - if you can find them.

LG ? Goldstar? tried them all, clearly no loyalty to customers, unless someone out there can prove me wrong......Please??

I believe the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N ATA DEVICE is best ripped out and replaced, any suggetions on a notebook chasis drive that will fit my brand new Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Notebook Pi 3625.

I haven't got the time or the energy to start a Fujitsu Siemens support ticket, I learned long ago, if it don't work trash it and buy a new one. Saves years in time.

This drive is a bad egg, but I am very happy to be proven wrong by anyone out there with a brain the size of Russia and a leaning towards the specialist subject of DVD CD ROM Drives.

Thanks.

Hiya,

Bear with me as I'm not the most technically gifted person around but...

I bought an Asus F50SV a few months back. A friend of mine looked up the reviews and commented on it having a Blu-Ray drive which I hadn't noticed. But pretty much every online spec I've seen for the F50SV mentions it. And herein lies the problem...When I pop a BD disc in, the drive can't read it. I installed Nero Infotool which says that the GSA T50N isn't Blu-Ray compatible.......so I guess I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that for me.

Thanks in advance...

Spoderman

p.s. It was bought in onoff but the model no longer appears on the website so I can't tell if it was listed as having a BD drive.

Problem solved

Hi, same drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N) on Acer Travelmate 5730.

After installing Intel® Matrix Storage Manager the drive works fine with CDBurnerXP.

Hope this will help

hi, this hint was great!!! i had the same problem with CDBurnerXP and BurnAware Free on my Lenovo Laptop G550, after installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager it worked fine! *thx*

[Guest Matt]

So what`s the solution für AMD Based Chipset ?? I guess the Intel Storage Manager won`t work here.

Trying to use BurnerXP on a Toshiba Satellite A300 Athlon X2 Win7 32 bit and the LG GSA-T50N Drive (RR09) ...

[Guest rmcomb@aol.com]

I had similar problems with Asus computuer after upgrade to Windows 7 and updates. Try installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager. It worked for me.

[mw29]

For AMD based chipset

try RAID drivers for AMD chipsets
