Hey guys,
Just wondering if any of you have a solution to my small problem.
My laptop dvd-rw always stops reading disk after a while and the only solution I have is to reformat if I desperately need to read a cd. which is a pain.
When I look in bios it is detected and also I see it in my computer but it doesn’t read any cd's.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Sorry if this has been covered - I searched and googled with no success.
When I try to connect my Diamond as a USB disk drive it causes windows explorer to hang (Win XP SP2) and it only unfreezes when the USB is unplugged.
This happened with 2 different diamonds (I sent the first one back because of another problem) with both the stock Orange UK ROM and Dutty's 1.8 ROM. It seems to work fine on some other PCs. I would say it was a PC issue but it's not an isolated case - I've seen it happen with a friend's Diamond too, on his work laptop.
Edit: I should mention, it sometimes unfreezes and starts working if left connected for several minutes!
Anyone have any experience of this?
Thanks,
Dave
My XP SP2 does NOT have this problem...

Neither does mine.
Thanks for the responses guys. I didn't think it was an issue that would affect all computers, however I have personally witnessed it with 3 different Diamonds and 2 different PCs so I'm guessing somebody else must know about it.
I don't want to reinstall XP with no idea whether it will help so I guess my next step is to see if any other USB devices could be affecting it.
I think I've resolved it
I had to unplug my WD external HDD. This is a slight pain because it contains all of the media that I want to copy on to the Diamond!
All I want to do is transfer some ringtones that I made to my Tilt, from my Linux OS. Is this possible somehow ? Or do I really have to dig up my older than hell XP laptop, then install proprietary software in order to transfer files ? Thanks.

I tried SynCE ages ago, but I eventually gave up. I usually stick to the microSD card or SSH.
same here, I've tried a ton of different things, but all have failed...
I think pof has got it working on an ubuntu machine, why don't you pm him?
Discouraging, but I appreciate the honesty. I'll try and PM pof and see what he says. Otherwise, I guess it'll be all micro SD transfers. Thanks again.

I just download everything.. I put it in a folder tree structure based on the type of file (Communications, Schedule, Utility, etc) and then I access it from the phone from the web.
Sometimes also push things over bluetooth.
You could also attempt the Card Export / WM5torage solution; which lets you access the storage card as a USB Mass Storage device; and no proprietary software is needed for that route. I think I read that someone had that working in linux.

What I have done with my Ubuntu laptop is simply send the file via Bluetooth. It's a little slow, but it works like a champ!

Is the card export thing a program I download from somewhere, or a cab file that enables the micro sd card to be read as a ums device ? That sounds like a perfect solution.
Bluetooth sounds good too, but my PC isn't (I didn't install one) equip with a BT card. The Macbook Pro, on the other hand... (which I've had a ***** of a time trying to get set up with the Tilt thus far...)

Ive got a Macbook Pro. What problems have you had? Maybe I can help you out a bit? Ive had no problems so far. Bluetooth file exchange works seamlessly for smaller programs and apps. When it comes to flashing roms, just use the microsd card with a card reader and rename the .nbh to KAISIMG.nbh
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
Also, you can get a USB Bluetooth dongle these days for all of 15USD on Ebay. I would definitely invest in one for the other computer
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can mount my Kaiser as a USB drive so I can drop files across from my laptop please?
I've got the USB connection working fine, and can use ICS to get online, the only thing i've not cracked so far is the file sharing...
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ed
Just to clarify i'm running WM6.1 and Linux Mint 5, which is essentially Ubuntu 8.04 with some tweaks...
that should be interesting for you http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
Nice one, thanks a lot
Hello, I am looking for some help if possible, i've tried a lot of other web sites with no luck and there are a lot of bright people here, so here goes. I have a hp dv9810us laptop which came with vista after upgrading to 7 I lost my dvd writer, I tried deleting upper and lower filters and no luck, tried uninstalling, also tried reformatting hard drive and reinstall windows and still nothing, tried the microsoft fix with no luck, I also bought another dvd writer with same results. The writer is not showing in the bios either. The model of the writer is GSA-T20L Super Multi Dvd Rewriter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just got a G1 off of evilbay.
When I connect it to the PC with the usb lead XP says 'device not recognised'.
Any idea whats going wrong and how to fix it?
which winxp version are you using? i never managed to connect my g1 to xp64...
you might need to manually install the usb drivers which come with the android sdk
XP32, SP3.
Got a link for the drivers?
That's a GOOD thing.... protect a good phone from a HORRIBLE virus.
Try linux. No weird drivers needed and no risk of damage.
Can't go on to linux full time, it doesn't support the games I play.
And the XP emulators are not a solution either, unless they have finally started to support 3D graphics?
If that is the only solution maybe I should have gone for a blackberry after all.
Will it work with the Ubuntu live CD?
Or the run from USB drive under XP version?
Make sure you have a good, thick USB cable. My G1 doesn't want to work with the first two USB cables I tried.
That was the first thing I thought of
Tried all 7 of mine, all react the same.
Also tried the project machine, initially found it, then after about 10 seconds came up with the unrecognised device
Are you trying to mount the SD card or use adb/fastboot?
Am trying to get to the SD card.
Found my microSD card reader so can copy stuff over that way now.
Would be nice to connect properly tho.
It's away for a week now, being fixed and rooted
It is my humble opinion that my local phone guy is a genius (and well into android).

Livecd is fine.
Dualboot is better.
Clear the virus is best.
Games? Games are for kids. Hacking is more fun.
Excuse the retards, they run rampant around these parts
Find attached all the drivers you will need, any further help just ask me
And here is a link to get the sdk if you want it...
