Downloading CD Drivers?

CD Drivers.

Okay, about a year ago my brother accidently deleted the cd drivers. He did this by deleting easy CD creator, who the hell would know the drivers are in there. And we didn't find out until like a month later, we never used the drives.

Long story short is there a way I can download drivers for my computer?

there onloy markings on the dvd drive (on the outside) says

"DVD ROM"

on the outside of the cdrw drive (it's a 32x12x40x) says:

"Compact disc rewritable high speed"

It's on a windows XP computer, about 2 years old...VPR martrix computer.

Any way to solve my problem would be appreciative (without buying new hardware, heh).

Thanks

basically your fucked happy:

edit: or take your casing apart and look under/untop of the drive and see if theres and indication of manufacturer

you shouldnt need drivers for your dvd rom. if you need something to play dvds with then p2p windvd or powerdvd

do you NEED a dvd rom thing to play dvd's on your comp? or just a default and a program to run it on?

shouldnt matter..most of them just use a windows driver so right click my computer and go to properties, select hardware...and scan for new hardware...should pick them up and install neccesary drivers

we've tried all that nyck. Plain and simple my computer has no fucking idea these drives are here. We've tried the unplug replug shit.. yeah.

Maybe we'll open up the case again and see if we can find the manufactuer info.

And my dvd rom does need drivers. I go to my computer and no drives are there other than floppy and my hard drive.

You can dl virtual drives such as alochol 120%. Is that what ur looking for?

elstatec · 07-09-2004, 03:07 PM

but you cant put dvds/cds into a virtual drive DUH

Bean 2 · 07-09-2004, 03:40 PM

yea u can. you cant put them into a virtual drive obviously but u can mount it.

elstatec · 07-09-2004, 04:13 PM

but you cant mount it because he cant get his dvd/cd rom to work without the drivers, aka the dvds/cds are as good as beer mats.
