Liteon 5045 Hard Drive Recoring Transfer |
| allibg5 posted 2009 Feb 23 10:04 |
| I have a Liteon 5045 which has had the DVD recorder replaced 5 times since I bought it. Yet another failure and now out of warranty. There are several hours of recordings I can play through the player itself but cannot transfer onto DVD. I've removed the hard drive and hooked it up to a desk top PC but it cannot see the drive. Liteon tech support have no solutions !! Can anyone advise how to get a desk top PC to see the drive ??
Ta, Brian |

[Replaced the DVD drives 5 times!!! What were they replaced with? The format in the liteon is fat 32 and 64k clusters The files are xxx.VOB ---[they can be changed to xxx.JPG if necessary---] A program as Power DVD in a PC will read and play them as VOB or JPG I use Win 98se and have no problems. A PC with an other OS might have issues depending its setup If the unit will play the HDD It does recognize the DVD drive but might take a min or so in a power up. Can I assume the drive will not play any disk It might be the DVD drive is going bad,or is dirty |

Many thanks for your reply. Yes. The DVD player / recorder has been changed 5 times. I obviously would not recommend Liteon !! I tried connecting the liteon hard drive to a desk top running win xp. The hard drive was not recognised at all. You are right. The DVD player / recorder will not recognise discs of any description ie pre-recorded or home made. It has been cleaned and it makes no difference. I do have power dvd so I shall try to see if a win 98 desk top recognises the hard drive and go from there. Thanks again. allibg5 |

If liteon replaced the drives they were most likely replaced with the original DDW units . They did have their problems. Most have replaced the drives with PC units. A list of drives to use is given at the sites given below The liteon units produced a very good recording While the format is Fat 32 I would doubt that any Windows OS would recognize the HDD as it is formatted.. A sticky at the below sites coves the OS issue. While the DVD drive will not play a disk and was cleansed, the system does recognize the drive. If it didn’t it would NOT play the HDD Even with Power DVD I doubt the HDD would play.. The files would of you can get yhem to a PC as Files. At this time I would not Play around with The HDD as you may lose files While the sites given are mostly ilo, It is a liteon product and all info is relative. The inside guts are the same. The firmware governs the HDD size and all-rite feature. http://www.techolio.com/ http://www.normediasolutions.com/portfolio/ This sire will give info on the liteon drives http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html PS A user from the UK reported that a 16H5s worked ok on all functions Info on the liten drives and the family’s is at this site. |
