Lost driver for Acer 4520

Lost driver for Acer 4520 DVD\CD-RW COMBO. Nothing shows on the device manager at all. Paid another company to help fix it yesterday and ended up with a big mess that has had me reinstalling everything and even disabling a printer that showed as a removable drive. Anyway, I am somewhat back to where I was. All I know is it says HL-DT-ST- DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA DEVICE. When I try to manually install it I can't find a driver. Can you help.

I must say first off ... I'm sorry you are in this mess. Im sorry you werent satisfied by your paid repair experience. I am not going to fix your computer. My goal is to send you in a direction where you can get it going yourself. I am one of many volunteers who work at helping folks such as yourself with all types of difficulties. We all work for 'bragging rights'. Your cooperation will be appreciated.

If I were looking for a driver for a computer, I would visit the manufacturer website and look for support tab. Find the proper driver and download it. Id check the device manager to see what Windows reports for the device. And I'd seek the help of a knowledgable source ...

I would like to recommend you have your computer scanned for free at www.pcpitstop.com . I have used their free service for many years. The Pit Stop will provide you with a complete and comprehensive reporr of all installed software, drivers, operating speeds etc. Please review the report and their recommendations.

Thanks for using fixya.com

if this response pleases you, positive comments would be appreciated.

On this site, it will ask you what model laptop you have. You are looking for the drivers for the DVD drive. Once you download them, install them and your DVD rom should work.
