SAMSUNG SH-M522 dvd COMBO not working

Robert Ashworth wants answers to this question
google how to BURN DVD-R? DISC.
that m522 is and old RELIC PRE 2001 YEAR, DRIVE, WITH NO SATA PORT, IDE (PATA) ONLY And will never work in any PC lacking PATA ports, 2001 and newer PCs. no way.

endless web sites cover this, (how to burn)
NO PC stated, nor OS but here is generic answer.

.(PC's AC power cable unplugged)
1: insert DVD m522 drive in to chassis., connect power cable and PATA Ribbon cable next
2: power on PC and see modern windows fail to see this device.
it is not supported this old. unless XP or Vista OS is used.
XP and VISTA have zero support now,. and XP is virus magnet.
3: then insert the DVD-R into the tray and close the tray.
label side UP.
4: then run Imgburn.exe (free program.
5: burn anything you want but will not burn stolen, or RIPPed movies.
you can say backup 1000s of office files in a directory folder full o f files to the DVD-R disk, it does a great job backing up files.

try to run the Microsoft Fix it option to delete the upper and lower filters and if this does not work, update the firmware and try to use a lens cleaner. if nothing works including system restore, it might be time to get a new drive. hope this helps

just change your data cable and replace a new data cable, your problem will be resolve.

Good Luck

make sure that the dvd burner is getting enough power test all leads that are attached to the dvd burner including electical extensions and make sure they have a secure connection or just replace them there might be bad/faulty or
your drivers may have been corrupted or you might have a virus run your antivrus program
you might have to physically unplug the leads for this cd/dvd burner then plug them back in or
you might have to uninstall then reinstall your DVD/CD or uninstall the driver then reinstall for this device
control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down cd dvd rom drives right click you can you can update driver,roll back driver,or select properties general troubleshoot, select driver click to reinstall drivers click update driver or uninstall then reinstall
hope this helps

buy a new one and install it to your pc

It can read DVDs but cant write.. so its NOT a DVD writer..

You'll find jumper instructions in the user manual which is available on Samsungs website (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP08&prd_mdl_cd=SH-M522C%2FBEBN&prd_mdl_name=SH-M522C&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P ). However, most drives have jumper setting key on the drive label. The choices are usually master or slave or cable select.

hit the top of it be careful this worked for me

Samsung CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive are is no working pls tell me wat is problem and how can i repaired and not ditect to DVD and CD so pls tell me

I had the same problem with my driver witch can handle CD Rom and DVD. You may want to uninstall the driver by going to the Device Manager on your PC if is Windows, once there look for the Driver you are having problems then right click and uninstall it. You may be prompted to restart your computer do so, if not restart it anyways. Remember the installation cd? if you don't have one don't worry windows supports this driver. Now you pc will tell you that it has detected a new hardware wait until it tells you the hardware is ready to be used, try out a regular CD. Now if you have done all this and nothing happens you may consider getting a new Driver after a wile the dual function drivers stop working not for software or computer problem but for manufacturer issues.
