topic Optical drive recognition problem ? in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-drive-recognition-problem/m-p/57687#M60177 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi there I have recent bought a Vaio VGN-FW11E and also bought a Panasonic UJ-210 BD drive. The BD drive does not come with this this laptop as standard but the VGN-fW11S (next model up) does with the model UJ-220 BD drive. Thinking it would be straight swap guess what fat chance.<BR />When I changed the driver hardware did not show up in device manger. Even though VGN-FW11s has the same processor,graphics chip the only difference 50 GB of hard drive &amp; 1GB of ram.<BR />The thing is when I swapped the drives in my older Viao VGN- FS315S no problems apart from the graphics chip not rendering but recognises the hardware though. So what next is a hardware problem or a driver bios problem because the drive does not even boot up os software.<BR />I would be very grateful if someone give me some guidedence.<BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.co.uk/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:29:30 GMT Riddler100 2008-08-14T20:29:30Z Optical drive recognition problem ? https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-drive-recognition-problem/m-p/57687#M60177 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi there I have recent bought a Vaio VGN-FW11E and also bought a Panasonic UJ-210 BD drive.
