SONY BDU-X10S SATA BLU-RAY INTERNAL PC DRIVE I bought the above off of eBay. I've got a hard drive on SATA 1, so I put the BD on SATA 2. There's a DVD burner as master on EIDE. During boot, the hard drive is detected quickly as usual, but the system hesitates as it examines SATA 2. A message flashes I can't read, then Windows starts. No BD-ROM shows up in Windows. When I go into BIOS set-up, it isn't detected there either. Did I buy a bad mech?
hello, I have exactly the same problem. the bios does not detect the BDU-x10s. (i connected the BD-rom to the mother board, put "raid" off, and put Serial ATA) My mother board is an Asus P4P800-E deluxe. (i did not connected the BD-rom to the promise connector) there is no firmware update to correct that bug. I bought it new then, I will give the unit back to the store. regards bernard
I found this review of that drive on Amazon: If you bought the drive at a store and have this problem, it's best to return it and get a different drive. But if you got it from eBay, it might not be possible to get a refund. (I don't have any experience with eBay, so I'm not sure if it's possible to get a refund for defective products).
Hello, Before going back to my store, I had the idea to change the serial red wire. And miracle, the BDU-x10s was detected by the bios. The "new" red serial wire had a malfunction...now everything is ok. maybe my Bd-rom was not completly new... thanks Rochstenbach for your help Bernard
Thanks for the ideas. My mechanism came from eBay. I bought it before I bought anything else for the new computer, so I gave the guy good feedback before I knew I'd been sold a lemon. I tried a new SATA cable, but that didn't help. I'll test it on another motherboard, once I can scrape together the cash for its processor. If it still won't be seen, I'll contact Sony support and see if they'll help me. I can't say I expect them to, but you never know.
