    External Burner not reading blank discs

    The burner reads all types of DVD's except -RAM. I'm using DVD-R's. Pretty standard. My burning program (ImgBurn) sees the drive as it should, it just won't burn. But I think windows installed drivers for just a CD-ROM. Any idea where I can find optical drivers to over write them manually?

    External Burner not reading blank discs

    I have an external optical drive case so I put a new DVD burner into it this weekend. It reads discs with data on them fine. But it doesn't see blank discs. I tried both the firewire and USB and still got nothing. Any ideas what might be happening?

    CD drive randomly stopped showing up on laptop

    My CD/DVD combo drive is suddenly not under "My Computer". But when I go under system properties it shows a CD drive but there's a yellow triangle over it. When I update driver it says the best one is installed. Its a dell and they didn't offer any optical drivers that I saw. Any ideas??

    Vista not able to download drivers?

    Past few days vista won't install my hardware drivers. My pen drives don't work, and I have a PS2 to USB keyboard adapter that won't work. These things don't have sites where I can download drivers. Is it just that vista's driver support is that bad? My pen drive use to work which is why I...
