Hello,

You shouldn't need a driver for this device. It should be detected by windows automatically. If the drive was working fine before, but now has just disappeared, it could be a registry issue. Sometimes the Windows registry gets corrupt and you need to delete the corrupted entries to get the drive to appear again. This is a fairly common issue in xp and vista.

Here is a link to instructions on what to do to fix this from Microsoft. If you are comfortable with the instructions on how to do it yourself (not using the "fix it" tool) then please do it manually. If you are not comfortable with the manual method, then download and run the fixit tool. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

If it is still no good, disconnect and reconnect the power and data cables from the drive, and disconnect and reconnect the data cable to the mainboard, then maybe check in your bios and ensure that the IDE ports are enabled on the mainboard, try another data cable between the drive and mainboard, or maybe test it on another pc........if it's still no good, then test it on another pc or take it to a computer service department, and ask nicely if someone would be so kind as to test the drive for you. If it's dead, then replace it.

Hope this helps! Let me know how you make out

Joe

try reinstalling your operating system ( try format your cd or just repair it). The system will automatically detect the driver for your drive but if it was not listed in the bios try checking the cables attached to your drive.. or still if not.. the drive may be damaged.

SOURCE: I have upgraded my pc.The 2 CD-DVD RW dr ,do not play or record

Hi!
Few points to notice:

  1. What operating system are you using?
  2. Are the drives identified (i.e. can you see them in My Computer/Computer)? If not, download and run this patch (it's intended for Windows XP but might work on other versions of Windows as well)... Any changes?
  3. Open Device Manager. Do you see any yellow question marks or exclamation marks? What's listed in the DVD/CD-ROM Drives category?
Waiting for your reply...

Good luck,
Pelu.

Nexxteck dvd driver downloads. my dvd is usb pnp rw dvd, it doesn't play movies automatically

This is not an issue with the drive. The drive is not what tells your pc to play movies automatically. Anyhow, I don't know what version of windows you are using, but if you click start-help and then type in 'auto play' it will show you how to change the settings so movies will play automatically. Also, if you don't have it already, install VLC media player.....it plays pretty much any video files.


Hope this helps!

I just put this drive in a new computer and now it won't read it opens i put a disc in and then close and it does nothing. i have changed the cable, change the power. and now i think i might need the...

Hi, well I think your DVDRW is OK & you don't need any driver. The detail that you are missing is the "jumper" found on your DVDRW. Normally you have 2 connections on your IDE cable. The upper one being "master" & the second middle one "slave". You should set the jumper according to the place on the cable where it is connected. You will find CSM written on your DVDRW. 'C' means cable select, 'S' means Slave & 'M' means Master.
You should refer to it when setting the jumper. If you have 2 drives on that cable & they are both set as 'slave' or both 'master', therefore only one would be detected & displayed in my computer.
Your problem would surely be solved... & have a nice time.

Here is the link for the ASUS downloads.

Choose Optical storage then DVD RW then your model number

The DRW-2014L1T is a DVD-RW and the drivers are incorporated with windows drivers. Are you looking for the burning software, like Nero or Roxio? Or is the unit not working at all?

My email is [email protected].
