Need drivers for lg cd/dvd slimline drive [gdr-8082n]

Normally, DVD Drives are plug and play and there are already native drivers (in built software inside the Operating System) installed on your Operating System, hence you do not need to install the driver for it anymore since it should work automatically, once it is connected to your computer.

You can try downloading the firmware for the said device on your computer manufacturer's website (DELL, HP, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Hi - Sorry, the LG GDR-8164b does NOT have the capability to write to Cds or DVDs. It's a read only drive.
The specs are here:

make sure the dvd drive is getting power

you might have to physically unplug the plug you cd rom back in this should activate the found new harware wizard or you might try

control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll cd/dvd rom drives right click you can update driver disable or uninstall select properties from there you can troubleshoot or select driver you can update roll back driver uninstall if at any time you see a yellow question mark? you need to install a driver

hope this helps

computer thinks it's just a cd rom and not that it actually is a cd dvd rw. should have come with a cd containing the drivers for it and the cd dvdrw softwares. roxio is a good solution for the software.

You should not need a driver for a CD/DVD drive. Drivers are built into windows.
If you are having problems, you could try uninstalling the device in device manager, and let windows re install the drive.

You dont need any drivers for internal drives, you may need to go to DEVICE MANAGER remove the dvd drive and let windows pick it up again.
You can download a FIRMWARE update.
