Drivers for External Optical Models
Operating System:
Windows
Date:
04/18/2008Do you need a Driver? (External models)
All Sony Optical external units are plug & play with Windows, no drivers are required for detection.
If you are having issues getting your external drive detected in Windows, please try the following: The drive needs to be connected directly to USB 2.0 or I-link port (depending on model type) on your computer. Please note that the drive is not supported if connected to a dock or a hub. Also please check the following if you are have trouble detecting:
The drive needs to be the only external device connected to the system. Please ensure there are no other USB devices connected.
Try a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different USB cable
Try the drive on a second computer system if possible.
Ensure you have the latest BIOS and Motherboard updates from your PC manufacturer.
Ensure you have the latest Windows updates from Microsoft.
I hope that this helps in some way.
Please let me know if you need more help after these steps and I will try looking eleswhere.

I moved my Sony DRX - 82OU dvd player/ burner from my laptop, (Dell & MS XP), where it worked just fine, to my desktop, (Dell & MS 2000). The DVD is recognized and opens, but I cannot get it to start in either Windows Media Player or Real Player. It sounds like it is going to work, the dvd name and contents are recognized and shown on both software, but then it stops.
