hello,

working with sis-in-laws del dimension 4600.
she mentioned that her cd writer wasnt working

brought over 2 from my house and thought i was going to be able to get away with plugging them in and wiping my hands

the drives dont show up in explorer/my computer
in device manager i get yellow exclamation points

the drives are listed as such:
_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A
CDWRITER IDE1610
(using the microsoft windows driver 5.1.2535.0)

tried uninstalling and rebooting
got every windows update i could find
searched the web far and wide for drivers for these

im at a loss and im begging to think her OS is responsible.

anyone know where i can get the drivers for these devices or have suggestions on what you would try next?

thanks in advance!

running


ill prolly pull another drive out of another computer tonight and try again
