optical drive

[delete post] [delete thread]

Hello everyone! This is my first post, so hopefully I do this right. Anyway, I just just got my first hackintosh up and running thanks to you guys, running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. After much lurking, I was able to get most of it working on my own, however, the solution to my optical drive...

Hi Guys, maybe very silly question, but I googled and can't find the answer. I have a RM1000 PSU and a Blu ray optical drive. I need to provide power to the optical drive. It has a Sata power connector to molex provided. However I want to use the shortest cable possible. Could I use a cable...

Hey awesome community! haha. I just now realized that that the optical drive I had speced out for my build does not have Blu-Rray write capability... (its the one on the buyers guide). Is there any customac compatible Blu-ray (and DVD and CD) burner and reader that I can purchase instead? Thanks...

Can anyone suggest a proper optical drive replacement for a Dell Optiplex 960? I'm currently using the stock drive that came with the machine, but it's prone to the "constantly seeking" drive problem. I'm sure you're all aware of this - every minute or so the drive's LED light comes on...

I anticipate I'm not using a DSDT, but maybe I can spare me of doing it... I've installed many fixes starting from the boot.plist <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>darkwake=0 PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x2000</string> adding AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext and AHCISeries7Injector.kext so that in System...

Hello, I'm here to ask about a curious thing that happens. I just installed ML 10.8.2 on a Asus M5E through Unibeast and Multibeast. I solved mostly all issues (even if I haven't been able to make GPUSensors.kext work with the Asus GX680 CU2T). I have a BluRay optical drive from LG (model LG...

I just installed the mobo into an old Antec 900 case with a DVD rom and power supply already in it. I now see that the mobo doesn't have the standard 40 pin dual inline IDE connector on it. (does the Z version rather than the H version of the mobo have the IDE?) Oops. I guess I need a SATA...

Has anybody had success with the Pioneer BDR2208 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129072&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Blu-Ray+Burners-_-N82E16827129072&gclid=CITts9LdhrUCFbSjPAod-lUAwA Should I just use the older Pioneer BDR2207 optical...

Hello Everybody. I have successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my new hackintosh build. It was pretty straight forward installation without any major difficulties. The only problem I'm having is with my Optical drive. It ejects itself Every-time I boot the computer. Than a CD icon...

First, thank you all for the community here. I can't imagine attempting a build without such a great resource and knowing there's a place I can go if I get stuck. This will be my first hackintosh build. I'm trying to put together a solid design and development box for daily use where I'll be...

I have a Vizio CT15-A2 and I am having trouble with the iBoot. I don't have an optical drive so I am trying to do it through a USB drive and I can't get it too boot. It always says BOOTMGR missing. I have tried a ton of different ISO burners but to no success. Has anybody installed to a vizio...

I see people keep showing their builds that don't have an optical drive. Mostly on ITX cases. How do they install everything then if they don't have an optical drive for the iBoot CD and the Snow leopard DVD? Is this a stupid question? Please, I need to know, my parts are about to come and I...

Hi everyone, I just bought my parts and I'm gonna be building my hackintosh next week. I want my machine to run Final cut Pro X, Photoshop CS 6 and lightroom smoothly. This is my list: -Motherboard: Gigabyte H77N-WiFi ITX (I also ordered a half size atheros ar9280 for the WiFi...

Hello all, after previously installing snow leopard on my system, i managed to accidentally delete some very important kexts, causing my system to have a kernel panic, so i decided to re-install linux on my system (I'm on it right now). After about a month, I was ready to try another SL...
