Lg gsa-5163 external cd/dvd writer no driver for windows 7

nero7 should i have windows7 ultimate using nero7
hope this helps

Windows XP/Vista/7 operating systems have the driver for all disc drives build in. If it isn't working, then the driver is not your problem.

Try this LG Whiz:

DVD writers have a standardized interface. No special drivers are required, the device should work with Windows 7 generic drivers.
If you are looking for software for DVD / CD burning, I can recommend CDBurnerXP, a very reliable and versatile tool, available free of charge from http://cdburnerxp.se.

Here is the download link for the driver http://www.lge.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=GSA-4163B&initialTab=drivers Hope it helps, plz rate.

Hi,
This may be a device driver problem.
uninstall then re-install your CD/DVD Writing Program. i,e Nero-Roxio et,c. it has to have The ATAPI device driver installed to function Correctly.

Mike @ compurepair.

you may be having conflicts with usb devices. try temporarily removing all unnecessary devices from the usb ports. unplug and then plug the drive back in. you could try another port. if all ports are in use, then unplug another device, like the mouse and plug in to that port, then plug the mouse into the writers port. i had a similar problem with a wireless usb lan that stopped another device from being recognised. when i removed the lan and replugged the unrecognised device, windows recognised it. i obviously had to use the wireless lan, so i swapped that with the mouse and it worked.

You should not need any kind of third-party drivers if you are using XP or Vista (and possibly older MS software).

There aren't any such drivers.  The drive control protocols are standardized.  Just do Windows Update a few times and make sure the thing's connected when you restart storage subsystems (pretty much a reboot; though installing Nero will of course get things going if you don't love Vista built-in tools.)
