I am at a loss how to get an external drive working. I am on arch linux, kernel 5.11.2-arch1-1. I want to use an external optical drive for digitizing CDs etc. The drive is a HP USB External DVDRW drive, Model GP70N.

When you inject a disc, does it start spinning? (optical drives can require some power and if it doesn't come w/ an external power supply it might rely on an out-of-spec hub to provide enough current.

I have found this problem has been re-occurring on my machine. I am not sure when it happens, but I suspect the drive disappears after a suspend. My drive is internal and not a USB drive. I already have the 'sr' module running. dmidecode tells me it *should* be /dev/sr0 but I only have a /dev/sg0 which

I have previously used this for DVDs and CDs (read and write).
Is this something systemd could be fouling up? Is there some sort of command I can run to make it remember again that it is still an optical drive?
I'm on kernel 5.11.2-1
I will try to test if this happens on my first 'suspend' and I will post the results.
I am glad to have found a thread with the same issue!

Please open a new thread, report on the S3 relation and if it's S3 related, see the 3rd link in my signature and esp. check the tail of "dmesg" after waking the system.
Also probably describe the general HW (Notebook? Model?) since it may be a PSU thing.

There is a connect.dat file in the program file with a line saying "OLE DB Provider = MSDASQL". Changing this entry alters the error message I get to "Provider cannot be found, it may not be properly installed".

It is important that your ODBC driver's executable and linking format (ELF) is the same as your application. In other words, you need a 32-bit driver for a 32-bit application or a 64-bit driver for a 64-bit application.

If these do not match, it is possible to configure a DSN for a 32-bit driver and when you attempt to use that DSN in a 64-bit application, the DSN won't be found because the registry holds DSN information in different places depending on ELF (32-bit versus 64-bit).

Be sure you are using the correct ODBC Administrator tool. On 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, the default ODBC Administrator tool is in c:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe. However, on a 64-bit Windows machine, the default is the 64-bit version. If you need to use the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool on a 64-bit Windows system, you will need to run the one found here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

Where I see this tripping people up is when a user uses the default 64-bit ODBC Administrator to configure a DSN; thinking it is for a 32-bit DSN. Then when the 32-bit application attempts to connect using that DSN, "Data source not found..." occurs.

This was not the first time I have come to this page searching for the same error message. Unfortunately, Microsoft error messages are vague and often several different issues will cause the same error message, hence why there are so many answers here.

The problem is that when I am opening an ADODB connection in VBA, and I use this same string, it will produce the "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified" error.

Following the instructions here =27099554 I had to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable before I had the Excel driver installed to use the DSN-less connection I wanted to use from perl.

I had the installed drivers listed in odbcinst -q -d, and could connect manually but not through R's odbc::dbConnect(). Turns out I forgot a semicolon in the connection string: .connection_string = "TrustServerCertificate=yes;"

Hi everyone, I've seen people have a similar issue but haven't found a workaround.

I'm planning to backup a couple of hard drives using the Dropbox backup option. But when I use the desktop app (or try do this via browser) Dropbox doesn't show me the option to choose these drives (although they are connected and and show in Finder).

Any advice for me?

Hi Jay, thanks for your reply.

I have three drives connected, one in 1TB connected straight to computer with thunderbolt. Two are 8TB drives connected with USB3 with docking stations.

Each one are pretty much filled with data.

They are all Mac OS Extended.

Since I've been meaning to set up my backup I haven't seen a drive connected to DropBox, now I remember though when I connected to my personal account it saw the hard drives. But I have to use my Advanced account for this.

Thanks Megan, now we're getting somewhere!

Plugged in an old drive, formatted as APFS and it's working like it should! Is DropBox not equipped to make a backup of MacOS Extended formatted disks?

I have the same problem. I am trying to transfer my stuff from my school's edu drive to a team (shared) drive because of my graduation. Since I am not the admin of the edu drive, that is to say I cannot grant any permissions, so I added my personal account, which is also the admin (manager) of the destination shared drive, as an Editor of the folder from the source edu drive via the folder's Share setting. Then I tried to perform a server-side copy from my edu drive to my team drive via command:

The original M.2 SSD failed to boot recently giving the error after POST ".. the operating system did not shut down cleanly...". After running all the HW tests from the BIOS it still did not boot into Windows 10. All tests passed. I figured the drive went bad. I put it into my desktop and was able to pull all the data off. So at least the main partition with the data was not bad.

I deleted the partitionings getting ready for a clean install. It showed two drives in the M.2 under Windows Disk Management in my desktop, 460GB and 27GB. The laptop only recognized the 27GB drive. I was able to install the OS (Win10 x64) but was not able to install drivers so the 460GB would show up. I ultimately wanted to install on the larger drive space obviously. So I gave up on that M.2 thinking maybe there was something wrong with it. I bought a Samsung 980 1TB M.2 NVMe and installed that. I was hopeful that since it was a new drive with no secure nothing installed like bitlocker that it would work however the laptop still did not recognize it during the Win10 x64 installation. It did not show up in the drive selection part of the install.

while I can get the drivers for this laptop, and I have, they are all EXEs. What I need is the raw driver files. (INF, SYS) so I can copy them to the Win10 USB installer stick and select that driver during install. However I cannot find the raw driver files, only the EXE installer. I got all driver files from HP site directly. Now what?

This package contains the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The Intel Rapid Storage Technology is designed to provide functionality for the Intel Storage Controllers. The driver improves Serial ATA (SATA) disk performance with Native Command Queuing.

Then you can right click on the exe file, select 7-Zip from the menu, and select Extract to: and let it extract the file into its folder name (sp135979), and copy that folder to your USB flash drive, and continue with the instructions.

Wow that was a fast response! I never thought to just unzip the EXE. I also saw the error in the instructions where the Extract To is not an option in the Win Explorer right click menus. I have 7zip installed already so I just used its extract to feature.

EDIT: My bad! Your supplied file DID work. I clicked in the Win10 folder instead of the F6 folder that was talked about in the article you linked me to. It showed the two available drivers that were supported by the laptop and selected one of them. Now it sees the Samsung M.2 and the full free space.
